Vivo T5 Pro

With its massive 9,020 mAh battery, this phone is a total endurance beast. Under regular use, you can easily get two to three days of life on a single charge, which is pretty much unheard of for a phone this slim.

Yes, it supports 90W Flash Charging. Even with that giant battery, you can get a 50% charge in well under an hour using the brick that's thankfully still included in the box.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and 144Hz AMOLED screen handle most games smoothly. While it isn't a dedicated gaming flagship, the massive 7,000 sq mm cooling system keeps it from overheating during your longer sessions.

It features a solid 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX882 sensor and OIS for sharp photos. Keep in mind there is no dedicated telephoto lens this time, though the main sensor can handle up to 10x digital zoom quite well.

It actually has dual IP68 and IP69 ratings, which is quite rare. This means it’s not just protected against being dropped in water, but can also withstand high-pressure water jets and extreme dust.

You get a gorgeous 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a super smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It’s also incredibly bright, hitting a peak of 5,000 nits, so you’ll have no trouble seeing it even in harsh direct sunlight.

The phone ships with Android 16 and Vivo’s latest OriginOS 6. While Vivo hasn't given a specific multi-year guarantee yet, their T-series typically gets at least two major OS upgrades and three years of security patches.

Like most modern mid-range phones, it skips the 3.5mm headphone jack and the expandable storage slot. You'll want to choose the 256GB model if you plan on storing a lot of offline media or high-res photos.
