If you’ve been keeping an eye on the premium smartphone market, you’ll know it’s not easy to find a flagship that ticks every box without crossing the ₹1 lakh mark. The Vivo X100 Pro 5G changes that conversation. With top-tier hardware, a luxurious design, and a camera setup that could tempt even professional photographers, Vivo’s latest release is a serious contender for 2025’s best value flagship.
Launch in India
Vivo officially launched the X100 Pro 5G in India on July 15, 2025. Pre-orders opened a few days earlier, and as expected, the first sale saw stocks flying off shelves on Flipkart, Amazon, and Vivo’s own online store. This model is clearly targeted at performance-focused users who don’t just want speed they also want stunning visuals, unmatched camera performance, and long-lasting battery life.
Pricing & Variants
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage – ₹49,999
- 16GB RAM + 512GB storage – ₹57,999
These prices place the X100 Pro 5G squarely in the “affordable flagship” category. When you compare its specifications with the likes of the iPhone 15 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, it’s clear Vivo is offering flagship performance at nearly half the price.
