The latest Vivo T series phone has arrived as yet premium mid-tier Android phone with 5G connectivity and a sub Rs. 25,000 price tag. Vivo will be selling the T1 Pro 5G via Flipkart in India at an asking price of Rs. 23,999 for the base model with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration, while the 8GB RAM T1 Pro 5G model is launched at Rs. 24,999 in the country.
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G has been introduced in the Indian market when the competition is already at its peak in the sub Rs. 25,000 price bracket. As always, Vivo has tucked in some high-end features in its latest mid-tier Android phone. Besides the 5G connectivity, a refreshed design language along with the 66W Turbo Flash charge tech and a 64MP triple camera are the major highlights of the T1 Pro 5G.
If we talk of the remaining features, the Vivo T1 Pro 5G is a fully loaded 5G smartphone. It ships with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display that supports 1080p FHD+ screen resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The high-resolution display packed inside the T1 Pro 5G also has HDR10+ certification and 1300 nits peak brightness levels.

Vivo had received a fairly good response for the first T series phone, i.e, the T1 5G. Will it be the case with the T1 Pro 5G as well? Does the latest Vivo T series phone pack ample punch to dethrone the existing players that are popular with the masses under Rs. 25,000 price bracket? We at Giznext have just received the T1 Pro 5G’s review unit and in this article, we are doing a first impression of the latest Vivo premium mid-tier Vivo 5G phone. Is it a hit or a miss? Let’s find out:
Vivo has packed the T1 Pro 5G with a 6.44-inch display. The company has used an upgraded AMOLED panel this time instead of the standard IPS LCD. If we speak of the display specifications then the T1 Pro 5G’s AMOLED panel supports 1080 x 2404 pixels screen resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. If you are one of those users who spend most of your time glancing at your phone’s display then the T1 Pro 5G will be a visual treat for you.
During our initial testing phase, the panel seems impressive with general content viewing. The panel also has HDR10+ certification which makes it suitable to consume videos via OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and others. The display color temperature, as well as color production, is balanced.
You don’t find the content getting overly saturated. Besides, the slim bezels along with the tiny waterdrop notch hamper least with the visibility. With a peak brightness level of 1300 nits, the T1 Pro 5G’s display offers good sunlight visibility.
The panel also integrates a fingerprint scanner which we found to be fast and accurate with device unlocking. We also tested the panel’s performance with gaming which has been decent until now. But we will be testing the T1 Pro 5G’s display thoroughly to give detailed feedback on the same.
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G uses Qualcomm’s premium mid-tier Snapdragon 778G processor. This is an octa-core chipset by Qualcomm which is designed specifically for gaming Android phones. Our initial user experience with the Vivo T1 Pro 5G has been great. The handset is capable of completing all the basic and extensive tasks without any difficulties.
It didn’t flinch even with multiple apps running in the background and while switching between the pre-loaded apps. The T1 Pro 5G’s SD 778G processor employs Adreno 642L GPU to render extensive graphics smoothly.
This Vivo T series phone comes with up to 8GB RAM. This RAM capacity is ample for swift multitasking. The storage option offered by the T1 Pro 5G is up to 128GB which can be further expanded using an external microSD card. Storage crunch isn’t an issue with the device, neither is the overall performance.
The unit is pre-installed with Android 12 OS and features a custom FunTouch OS on top. The UI experience is decent. There are a bunch of pre-installed third-party apps and bloatware. You can uninstall a few of them manually for a cleaner UI.
Vivo has good expertise with mobile camera hardware. The T1 Pro 5G is one of the best examples of a mid-range Vivo phone that can be purchased for under Rs. 25,000 with some potent camera hardware. It ships with a 64MP main camera which has an f/1.79 aperture. Accompanying the primary sensor is an 8MP ultrawide angle lens that has an f/2.2 aperture and another 2MP sensor for macro shots.
The T1 Pro 5G’s camera has performed well during our initial testing. You will have no complaints with the daylight shots as the primary camera can capture a high level of clarity. There are multiple in-app camera modes that you can use to improve the imaging quality as well as the overall optics experience. Amongst the several camera models are Portrait, Panorama, and Live Photo.
The camera app also has a dedicated Night mode which will help with low-light photography. The images we captured with low-lit backgrounds were decent. Edge detection and dynamic range are good overall. Notably, the T1 Pro 5G rear cameras are also capable of recording dual view videos, slow-motion and time-lapse videos as well.
As for the selfie snapper, the Vivo T1 Pro 5G uses a 16MP lens which is housed within the waterdrop notch upfront. The selfies captured by the T1 Pro 5G are good. You get high-resolution self-portraits that you can easily flaunt on social media portals.
The overall photography experience with the T1 Pro 5G has been good. But we are yet to test the camera performance extensively in all scenarios. Stay tuned with us for detailed camera performance feedback on the T1 Pro 5G.
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is packed with a beefy 4,700 mAh battery unit. This large capacity battery packs enough juice to drive the handset close to an entire day if you are using it moderately. The biggest highlight of the T1 Pro 5G is the 66W Turbo Flash charge.
As per the claims, it refuels the device from zero to 50 percent in 18 minutes. We haven’t got to test the battery capacity and the fast-charging speeds to their full potential yet. But will do the same in the coming days.
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is one complete package that you can buy under Rs. 25,000 in India. This premium range phone has a power game-centric 5G processor which along with up to 8GB RAM offers a powerful performance delivery.
The T1 Pro 5G also caters to photography enthusiasts with its capable 64MP triple rear camera module and a big 16MP selfie snapper. The star attraction is definitely the 66W Turbo Flash charge technology that can refuel the device in under an hour.

OPPO is working on the next-generation Reno series phones called the Reno8 The successor to the Reno7 Pro series is getting released this year itself. OPPO is expected to bring at least three different models to the upcoming premium mid-tier Android lineup. The vanilla Reno8 is rumored to debut alongside the Reno8 Pro and the affordable Reno8 Lite variant. Until now, we have received several updates that reveal the upcoming Reno8 series India launch timeline along with the key features of the standard Reno8 and the Reno8 Pro. But now, the rumor mill has spilled beans on the Reno8 Lite 5G’s design. The leaked renders hint at a rebadged version of two recent popular OPPO Handsets. Check out the details here:
The OPPO Reno8 Lite fresh renders have been leaked by a tipster called @_snoopytech_ on Twitter. The tweet shared by the tipster shows the entire design aspect of the Reno8 Lite. The rear panel as well as the fascia of the upcoming Reno8 series affordable model has been shared. The render images show a tall front panel that has a thin bezel profile.
Only the chin is slightly thicker compared to the remaining borders. The front panel can be seen sporting a punch-hole camera cutout on the top left corner for the selfie snapper. The Reno8 Lite’s back panel is seen with a vertical camera module that has two large and one small sensor along with an LED flash.
Two color options have also been confirmed by the leaked Reno8 Lite 5G renders. The device will be available in a black and iridescent shade. The renders show a familiar design language. The Reno8 Lite 5G seems a rip-off of its predecessor, i.e, the Reno7 Lite. Notably, the OPPO F21 Pro which is a rebranded version of the Reno7 Lite also has the same design. This leak suggests the Reno8 Pro might not come with any major design changes compared to the Reno7 Lite or the OPPO F21 Pro.
But besides the design, this new leak doesn’t reveal much about the upcoming Reno series phone. Only the Reno8 Lite 5G moniker has been confirmed besides the design which suggests the affordable Reno8 variant will be backed by 5G network support. There is still some confusion related to the Reno8 Lite’s hardware.
Not many details have been revealed by the leaks or the tipsters. It can’t be said at the moment if the upcoming Reno8 Lite 5G will be packed with a similar set of features as the Reno7 Lite 5G. That’s considering the fresh leak has shown an identical design language as the previous-gen model and the OPPO F21 Pro. But we believe OPPO will introduce the Reno8 Lite 5G with upgraded hardware. We are expecting some changes at least in the camera and processor department.
Just to recap, the Reno7 Lite 5G debuted with the octa-core Snapdragon 695 5G processor. It remains to be seen if the Reno8 Lite 5G employs a slightly more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon series processor or a new-generation MediaTek Dimensity series chipset. We might get some more clues related to the Reno8 Lite 5G’s hardware specification. Its availability is anticipated in June this year. We will confirm all the details once available.

FASTag might get abolished in India
Sattelite-based navigation toll collection system under development
Exact timeline for FASTags getting out of service is a mystery
FASTag toll collection system came as one of the biggest respites for Indian consumers using the national highways for daily or occasional commutes. This advanced toll collection system started as a pilot project back in 2014. And by December 2019, the Indian government made it a mandate system for collecting tolls across all toll plazas on the national highways in India. FASTag was introduced to make the commute for the masses hassle-free and also get rid of long queues at the toll plazas.
But the latest developments suggest the government is planning to abolish the FASTag service in India and instead bring a new toll collection method. The government is said to be in the works to implement a new satellite-based toll collection system which might be more expensive than the current fare collection system. Why is the FASTag system getting abolished in India and which service will replace it? Read on to know all the details:
The Indian government has started working on a new system to collect tolls from the vehicles commuting on the national highways in the country. Currently, the tolls are being collected using the RFID-based FASTag system where a certain fixed amount is being charged from the travelers. The current rates are set depending on the distance between one toll collection point and the other.
While there is no official confirmation from the government stating the abolition of the FASTag system, rumors are rife that it’s getting replaced by a rather advanced fare collection system. Several online reports have suggested the government is planning to implement a new toll collection system that will be using the satellite-based navigation system to charge the toll fare.
A new satellite-based toll collection system based on satellite navigation is said to replace FASTag in the coming years in India. The latest toll collection system is already said to be in the development phase and a pilot project has already been initiated for the same in the country. This toll collection system has been doing fairly well in the international markets.
Countries like Germany and Russia are using the satellite toll collection system in their region. The Indian government is said to be following the lead of the European nations by implementing the satellite-based toll collection in the country. It might take a while for the government to completely implement this new toll collection system all across the Indian continent.
Experts from Russia and South Korea are being consulted by the Indian government to prepare a study report that will help complete this project. With the expert opinion and study cases, it will be easy to deploy the satellite toll collection at a mass scale.
Unlike FASTag, where a toll fare is charged based on the distance between one toll booth to another, the upcoming satellite toll collection will rather charge the travelers based on the total kilometers driven on the national highway or expressway. The toll collection system would be similar to FASTag where a certain amount would be deducted from the linked account.
However, the fare charges will now be calculated right from the moment a vehicle gets on a toll-enabled route. This upcoming toll collection system seems a bit expensive compared to the current FASTag system. But we aren’t yet sure how expensive it would be compared to FASTag once it is implemented officially on a mass scale. Besides, this new satellite toll collection is in the testing phase and it might take a few years before it goes fully functional in the country.
