vivo has been on a bit of a roll recently with flagships like the X300 Pro and the X200T. Now, to cater more towards the mid-range buyers, the Chinese smartphone maker has expanded its Y-series lineup in India with the launch of the vivo Y51 Pro 5G. The device comes with a massive 7,200mAh battery, a MediaTek Dimensity processor, and IP68/IP69 durability ratings. The smartphone is priced at ₹24,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and ₹27,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model, and it will go on sale starting March 11, 2026, via the vivo India website, Flipkart, and partner retail stores. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

7,200mAh Battery With Fast Charging

The main highlight of the Y51 is its 7,200mAh battery, which is among the largest in its segment. vivo claims the phone can last 23.7 hours of video streaming, 15.4 hours of gaming, 21 hours of social media usage, and 95 hours of music playback before needing a recharge.

Speaking of that, the Y51 supports 44W FlashCharge for faster charging and includes features such as Battery Health Algorithms, Battery Life Extender technology, and bypass charging to reduce battery wear. According to vivo, the battery is built to maintain performance for up to six years of usage. There’s also support for reverse charging.

MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Turbo Processor

Under the hood, the vivo Y51 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Turbo chipset, built on a 4nm process. vivo claims the chip delivers an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 920,000, promising smooth multitasking and gaming performance. The processor is paired with 8GB of RAM, and storage options of 128GB or 256GB.

OriginOS 6, on top of Android 16, runs the show here. The new skin comes with a myriad of AI features like AI Creation for content generation, AI Notes for organizing documents, AI Transcript Assist, and AI Captions for real-time translation. The phone also supports Circle to Search and Google Gemini, enabling smarter search and productivity features. Beyond these, there’s Private Space for secure storage of files and apps, Free Transfer for quick PC connectivity, and Face Unlock that works even when wearing certain types of helmets.

Design & Cameras

On the front, the Y51 features a 6.75-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1250 nits peak brightness. The screen is TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certified to help reduce eye strain during long usage sessions. The design follows vivo’s recent trend, with a camera island on the back and a 50MP lens capable of 4K video recording at 30 FPS. The setup also includes features such as Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), dual-view video recording, live photo capture, and multiple AI scene modes for portraits, night shots, and professional-style photography.

Thanks to its IP68 rating, the phone also supports underwater photography at depths of up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, though we’d recommend avoiding it, as water damage isn’t covered under warranty.
