Alright, let’s just get this out of the way: Vivo dropped a bombshell with the 2025 Premium Smartphone — and not the bad kind. We’re talking a phone with specs that scream “flagship”, but a price tag that whispers, “Hey, I’m just a humble budget buddy.” Honestly, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d think someone Photoshopped the price onto the feature list. Spoiler: they didn’t.
Vivo Premium Smartphone
Okay, I’ll admit it — when I first heard about the VIVO V26 Pro being sold for just ₹11,999, I laughed a little. “Must be a typo,” I thought. But nope, it’s real. And the specs? They’re so ridiculous for the price that I actually did a double take. We’re talking 200MP camera, 8000mAh battery, 120W fast charging, 12GB RAM, and a whopping 512GB storage. I mean… what?!

The Battery Is a Literal Tank
Let’s start with the battery. 8000mAh. That’s basically a power bank disguised as a smartphone. I’ve used phones that die halfway through a binge session of Stranger Things. This thing? It just keeps going. You’re getting 2+ days of normal use. And when it finally does need juice, the 120W charger can top it up in under 30 minutes. That’s enough time to make Maggi and finish a coffee.
A 200MP Camera – Overkill? Maybe. But Also, Amazing.
VIVO went all out here. 200 megapixels</strong. Honestly, I don’t know if I need that much detail in a photo of my dog, but it’s cool to know I can zoom into his nose hairs and still see them clearly. The night mode’s actually good (not “meh-good”), and the 64MP selfie cam makes your face look human, not like a wax statue. Which is… refreshing.
Storage and Performance – No More “Storage Almost Full” Pop-Ups
This phone packs 12GB RAM (plus up to 4GB virtual RAM) and a hefty 512GB internal storage. Translation: No lag, no stuttering, and no need to delete old photos of your ex to make space. I’ve played BGMI, edited 4K videos, run multiple apps — it handles all of it like a champ.

AMOLED Screen That Actually Looks Good in the Sun
The display is a 6.8-inch curved-edge AMOLED panel with FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+. It’s bright, punchy, and scrolling through Instagram reels feels buttery smooth. Plus, it’s got that in-display fingerprint thingy that still feels futuristic (even in 2025).
Connectivity & Features – Basically Everything You Want
- 5G support– of course
- Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3
- Face unlock that works even with your “just woke up” face
- IP54splash and dust resistance (don’t take it swimming, okay?)
- Android 14 + Funtouch OS (still a weird name, but hey, it works)
- Dual stereo speakers and a surprisingly decent cooling system

The Part That Makes Zero Sense (In a Good Way)
Here’s the kicker. All this — and I mean, all this — comes in at just ₹11,999. That’s the kind of price where you start wondering, “Wait… what’s the catch?” But if VIVO is playing the volume game here, I’m not complaining.
And if that’s still too much for your budget (no judgment — it’s 2025, we’ve all made terrible crypto investments), there’s a sweet EMI plan too:
- Down payment:₹1,199
- Monthly EMI:₹1,199 x 12 months
- No-cost EMI if your card plays nice
Final Thoughts – Is It Worth It?
Look, I’m not saying this is the perfect phone — nothing is. Funtouch OS might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and the brand name doesn’t carry the same weight as Samsung or Apple. But when you’re getting flagship-level hardware at literally a fraction of the cost, who cares?
If you’ve been waiting to upgrade but didn’t want to spend ₹40-50K, this might just be your moment. Just maybe order it before VIVO changes their mind and realizes they priced it too low.
