Vivo launches two new budget phones in India. Meet the Vivo T1 4G and T1 Pro 5G. Knowing Vivo, they may also arrive in markets like the Philippines under a different name. In fact, they’ve already been rebranded, as they have tons of similarities to the iQOO Z6 44W and Z6 Pro.
First, we have the Vivo T1 4G, which is obviously a cheaper version than the T1 5G that came out back in February. So instead of the Snapdragon 685 5G chip, this one only uses a Snapdragon 680 LTE CPU.
On the upside, it got a better AMOLED panel instead of IPS. It also has a faster 44W charging for the 5,000mAh battery. Vivo claims that a 1% to 50% charge will only take under 30 minutes.
The camera island boasts two large lenses. The one on the top is solely for the 50-megapixel main camera, while the second one is shared by the 2-megapixel macro and depth sensor. There’s a notch on the front for the 16-megapixel selfie snapper.
Those who are in India can now get the Vivo T1 for a starting price of INR14,499 (around Php9,900) for the 4GB/128GB model, INR15,999 (around Php11,000) for the 6GB/128GB, and INR17,999 (around Php12,400) for the 8GB/128GB.
