Vivo has now launched the Vivo Y400 in India, which is a mid-range 5G handset from the brand and an improved spin off of the recently released 4G model. The Y400 5G is now the third affordable 5G smartphone from Vivo under ₹25,000, which pairs a bright AMOLED panel with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate and superior specifications including a larger battery unit at 6000mAh with significantly faster charging speeds up to 90W via wired connectivity.
Vivo Y400 5G, what is new?
As for the differences, the Vivo Y400 5G boasts a few improvements over its 4G counterpart specifically in terms of performance, imaging and charging. He seats on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, a debatable mid-range 4nm SoC which according to Qualcomm is made for more efficiency and clean day-to-day performance. The Snapdragon 720G is accompanied by up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, upto to 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage ( no expandable memory).

The selfie enthusiasts also get a major upgrade: The front camera on the Y400 5G is now a 32MP unit (versus an 8MP cam on the 4G model), which would result in increased clarity for video chats and selfies, — thanks to better software processing.
Display and design
The display’: The Vivo Y400 5G feature a 6.67-inch Full HD+2400×1080120Hz AMOLED screen The panel has a peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits for easy outdoor readibility and punchy visuals. The lack of limitations the screen gets from the high refresh rate and AMOLED tech means that this is one smooth area for UI interactions and content playback, each more vivid than ever.
The design is essentially the same as the 4G world version, still featuring thin bezels and a sleek rear module. The device houses an in-display optical fingerprint scanner for biometric unlocking, and offers IP68/IP69 ingress protection for dust and water resistance – a feature that is uncommon at this price level.
Battery and charging
The battery capacity remains the same as that of the 4G variant, implying that the Vivo Y400 5G also carries a large 6000mAh battery under-the-hood with multi-day usage on regular uses. Everything remained the same with the device but the real upgrade was in charging: where earlier it charged at 44W, now, it supported a blistering fast 90W fast charging. This allows users to efficiently fill up when necessary, and minimizes downtimes.
Software and extras
On the software front, the Vivo Y400 5G runs Funtouch OS v15 based on Android 15 out of the box that includes all-new UI improvements and a slew of AI-driven tools such as transcript assist, smart document capture, and note enhancements (reportedly related to series) to enhance productivity and day-to-day convenience. At this time, we can’t say this is an official commitment to years-long software updates.
Dynamic RAM expansion (8GB virtual boost beyond physical RAM), stereo speakers, 5G support.
Camera setup
At the back, we have the Vivo Y400 5G with a dual-camera setup: a 50MP main sensor (believed to be the Sony IMX852/IMX885 depending on context) and a 2MP depth lens. This is in part thanks to software improvement that Jawanda told me will create better portrait and everyday shots. The front camera is beefed up to 32MP for crisper video calls and selfies.

The Vivo Y400 5G starts at INR 21,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB variant in India and goes up to INR 23,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model. It will be available in Glam White and Olive Green colors.

Why the Vivo Y400 5G matters
Vivo Y40 5G, on the other hand, is meant for those who want a good and all-rounded mid-ranger but not at the cost of poor display, battery life or slow charging speed. With a big battery and fast charging supporting that AMOLED panel, an updated chipset, and improved selfie camera too, Vivo has done good to pitch this as a smart upgrade over its 4G predecessor and a strong contender under ₹25K.
