Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Designed for powerful performance

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: With the launch of the Vivo T2 Pro 5G smartphone, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer aims to strengthen its position in the highly competitive under Rs 25k segment. On paper, Vivo T2 Pro seems to be one of the most powerful contenders as it comes with MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, has Fluorite AG Glass back, a decent battery with anti-ageing charging algorithms and much more. But do these features make it worth the price? Let's find out in the detailed review.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Variants, colour options and price

The Vivo T2 Pro 5G is available in two colours - New Moon Black and Dune Gold. The device is available in two storage variants priced at Rs 23,999 for 8GB + 128GB and Rs 24,999 for 8GB + 256GB.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Design

This is one of the key highlights of the Vivo T2 Pro 5G smartphone. The smartphone in Dune Gold has Fluorite AG Glass back and the glossy look is almost resistant to fingerprints and smudges. The back has a very nice marble-like finish that glitters and shines when light falls on it. Overall, it is one of the best good-looking smartphones in its price range.

The smartphone is quite slim with just 7.36mm thickness and curved edges on both the back and front making it quite comfortable to hold in the hand. The rectangular camera module has a dual camera setup along with an aura light. The camera module does not protrude too much.

The smartphone has a plastic frame and comes with an IP52 rating. At the bottom of the device, you will get a SIM tray, a microphone, a USB Type-C charging port and a speaker. There's another microphone on the top for noise cancellation. The power button and volume rockers are on the right side.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Display

The Vivo T2 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with slim bezels. The display has a good screen-to-body ratio and the punch hole for the selfie camera is also not too big. The display supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and a peak brightness of 1,300 nits. Scrolling through your browsers or jumping from one app to another is smooth and the device can be comfortably used outdoors. It also has a 1,200Hz instant touch sampling rate. The in-display fingerprint sensor is quite responsive.

It offers HDR10+ support on both YouTube and Netflix. Also, the display delivers bright and crisp colours so content consumption is going to be fun. The only missing thing here is dual stereo speakers which could have enhanced the overall experience.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Performance and software

The Vivo T2 Pro smartphone is powered by MediaTek 7200 chipset based on a 4 nm process. It is quite a capable chipset for a smartphone in this price range and the octa-core CPU has Arm Cortex-A715, with a clock speed of 2.8GHz. It is paired with 8 GB LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage with support for the Extended RAM 3.0 feature. The device has up to 8GB of additional RAM. All these not only allow you to multifunction but also let you play games like Asphalt 9 on this device.

In terms of software, the Vivo T2 Pro 5G runs on FunTouch OS 13 based on Android 13. It offers several personalisation options and control features for a smoother uninterrupted experience.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Camera

The Vivo T2 Pro 5G comes with a dual camera setup at the back with a 64MP OIS primary camera and a 2MP depth or bokeh camera. The main camera clicks decent images with good dynamic range. Also, the bokeh images are quite natural with good edge detection. The good thing is that the smartphone can click images worthy of sharing on social media platforms even in low-light conditions.

On the front, it has a 16MP selfie camera. It clicks good images with a natural colour tone. Selfies in low light are also good. However, there is no ultrawide lens in this smartphone.  

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Battery and charging

The smartphone has a 4,600mAh battery and supports 66W flash charging. The smartphone can last for an entire day for regular users and the device can be juiced up from zero to 100 per cent in around one hour.                  

Vivo T2 Pro 5G Review: Verdict

There are so many options available in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment and the Vivo T2 Pro 5G is definitely going to make the competition even tougher. However, the presence of stereo speakers and ultrawide cameras would have given the device an edge over other smartphones available at the price point.
