Vivo Y31 5G

Surprisingly, yes! It comes with an IP68 and IP69 rating, which is rare for a budget phone. This means it can handle a dunk in the water and even high-pressure sprays, making it a great choice if you're worried about rain or accidental spills.

With its massive 6500mAh battery, you can easily go two days on a single charge with normal use. Even if you're a heavy user, you’ll struggle to kill this phone in a single day, and the 44W fast charger gets you back to 50% in roughly 38 minutes.

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip is built for efficiency rather than raw power, so while it runs games like BGMI, you'll need to stick to medium or low settings for a smooth experience. It's perfect for casual gaming, but hardcore players might find it a bit underpowered.

The 50MP main camera takes sharp, punchy photos during the day that look great on social media. It does struggle a bit when the lights go down, showing some noise in night shots, but the unique front-facing flash helps a lot with late-night selfies.

The screen is quite large at 6.68 inches and very smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. The only downside is the 720p resolution, so while it’s bright and fluid, you won't get the same pin-sharp detail found on Full HD displays.

Yes, it's designed to work seamlessly with major Indian carriers like Jio and Airtel. You’ll get reliable 5G connectivity across the country, though your actual speeds will depend more on your local network coverage than the device itself.

Vivo has stepped up its game here, promising 5 years of system updates and 3 years of security patches. It launches with Android 15, so you’re covered for a long time compared to most other phones in this price bracket.

Because of that huge battery, it weighs about 209 grams, so it definitely has some heft to it. It’s a bit thicker than your average slim smartphone, but the build feels solid and durable rather than just bulky.

Unfortunately, no. The 3.5mm headphone jack has been removed to make room for the bigger battery and better water resistance. You'll need to use USB-C earphones or stick with your favorite Bluetooth buds for music.

In India, you can pick it up in two distinct finishes: Diamond Green and Rose Red. Both have a nice textured look that helps hide fingerprints and makes the phone stand out without looking too flashy.

Yes, you still get a 44W FlashCharge adapter right in the box, along with a USB-C cable and a basic protective case. You won't need to spend extra money on a brick just to get the fastest charging speeds.
