I still remember the days when mid-range phones would freeze the moment you opened the camera app. That’s why the new Vivo V26 Pro 5G launch at ₹10,499 honestly feels surprising. A phone with such premium features in this price range is something most of us did not expect.
Design and Display
From the first look, the Vivo V26 Pro 5G gives off a proper flagship vibe. The curved edges, slim body and matte glass back make it feel premium in hand. The 6.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel is smooth, colourful and perfect for binge-watching. With IP68 water and dust protection, you don’t need to panic during sudden rain or accidental splashes.
Camera Performance
This is the part that really caught my attention. A 250MP AI main camera on a budget phone sounds unreal, but Vivo claims it can capture details almost like a DSLR. You also get a 50MP ultra-wide and 12MP telephoto, so travel photos, portraits and city shots should all come out sharp. For selfies, the 64MP front camera feels like a treat for Instagram lovers.

Performance and Battery
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip makes the Vivo V26 Pro 5G strong enough for gaming, editing and multitasking. Paired with 12GB RAM (expandable virtually) and 256GB storage, the phone is built for heavy users. The 7600mAh battery with 120W fast charging means you can go from low to full in minutes, not hours.

What really stands out is the 7-year software and security update guarantee. It’s rare even in costlier phones. You also get Dolby speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
