Y400 Pro 5G: Real-World First Impressions
To be blunt: launching a new ₹25K phone in India in 2025 is no easy task. Just this month, we’ve seen tough competition from Redmi Note 14 Pro, iQOO Z9 Turbo, and even Samsung’s M15 series.But Vivo seems to know this - the Y400 Pro comes armed with some very practical upgrades:
First, the display. On paper, it’s a 6.77-inch AMOLED at 120Hz. In hand, it felt larger than I expected - almost pushing “phablet” territory.
First, the display. On paper, it’s a 6.77-inch AMOLED at 120Hz. In hand, it felt larger than I expected - almost pushing “phablet” territory.
The brightness claims of 4500 nits seem believable outdoors, even under Delhi’s blazing June sun. Unlike some competitors, I didn’t struggle to read WhatsApp or YouTube on the street.
Second, the chip. The Dimensity 7300 is MediaTek’s latest 4nm mid-range SoC. While this won’t rival flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones, the UI felt smooth during my 15-20 min trial run - swiping through apps, switching between Instagram and Gmail. No obvious frame drops.
Third, charging speed. The 90W fast charging claim is bold - Vivo says ~53 mins for a full top-up.
I wasn’t able to test this on-site (demo units weren’t empty), but local retailers confirmed that customers can expect sub-1 hour charges with the included charger.
Design & Build: Premium Enough?
In hand, the Y400 Pro strikes a solid balance.It weighs about 190g, and the back panel - while still polycarbonate - has a subtle matte finish.
The Fest Gold colourway I saw in-store looks classy, with less of the garish shimmer seen on some budget phones.
IP65 dust and water resistance is a rare bonus in this segment.

You won’t want to dunk it in water, but light rain or sweat? No problem.
One small nitpick: the lack of a headphone jack might annoy some older users or commuters.
Shot a few quick indoor pics - surprisingly crisp skin tones.

Cameras: Sony sensor does the heavy lifting
Vivo is marketing this as a "Sony 50MP camera phone,” and early signs suggest that’s fair.Shot a few quick indoor pics - surprisingly crisp skin tones.
The Sony IMX882 seems to do a good job. Outdoors, colours leaned slightly toward warm, but not cartoonish.
Low light was a mixed bag: some noise crept in, and the 2MP depth sensor didn’t add much real value.
More interesting: 4K video at 30fps from both front and rear cams — nice for vloggers and social content.
AI features are well integrated:
AI Live Text worked fast when pointing at a Hindi street sign
Circle to Search is surprisingly handy — think Google Lens, but smoother
AI Note Assist could genuinely help students and note-takers

Software & AI Features
The Y400 Pro runs Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15, and Vivo promises 3 years of OS updates — a good step, but still short of Google/Samsung’s 5-year policies.AI features are well integrated:

Who should buy this?
If you’re coming from a Y20, Y50, or older Vivo model, the Y400 Pro 5G is a massive upgrade:AMOLED 120Hz
Faster Dimensity chip
Way better cameras
IP65 splash protection
But if you already own a Redmi Note 13 Pro or Moto Edge 50 Fusion, I’d advise comparing battery life and UI feel before jumping.
Gamers should also note: there’s no dedicated vapor chamber cooling here. For casual gaming (COD: Mobile, BGMI), that’s fine — but serious marathon gamers may want something with better thermals.
Competitive Landscape
At ₹24,999, the Y400 Pro squares off with:Redmi Note 14 Pro (Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, 67W charging)
Motorola Edge 50 Fusion (144Hz pOLED, IP68)
iQOO Z9 Turbo (Dimensity 8200, 120W charging)
Each has trade-offs. The Y400 Pro’s IP65 rating, Sony sensor, and AI software extras give it a few edges — though Motorola beats it on pure display quality.
Final Take
Vivo knows this launch won’t grab headlines - big sites are swamped with similar spec dumps. But from my hands-on, I think there is an audience here:Long-time Vivo users ready to upgrade
Mid-budget shoppers wanting durability (IP65)
Content creators who value front cam 4K
Will it dominate sales charts? Likely not - Redmi’s Note series still rules at this price.

But for those bored of Xiaomi UI and Samsung’s sometimes laggy Exynos variants, the Y400 Pro is worth a closer look.
