Vivo Y400 Pro launching in India before X200 FE and X Fold 5, here is everything we know about it
In between the recent launch of the Vivo T4 Ultra and the rumoured launch of the Vivo X Fold 5 and X200 FE on July 10, the company will soon launch another phone in its Y-series, dubbed the Vivo Y400 Pro. At the moment, the brand has only confirmed the launch date, which is set for June 20, while other official details have been kept under wraps. However, has that ever stopped the rumour mill from churning out the key details of a particular device? In this case, leaks have already given us a good idea about what to expect from the upcoming Y400 Pro — and here's everything you need to know about it comes to the Vivo Y400 Pro, we haven't even had to rely on leaks from tipsters. Instead, a recent Amazon listing of the phone's purchase page went live, and of course, it was taken down later. First spotted by folks at GSMArena, the listing had all the key details about Vivo's upcoming device, including the design from all angles, and the 'Freestyle White' colour listing also revealed that the Vivo Y400 Pro will be just 8mm thick and weigh only 182 grams. It will sport a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness. It will reportedly be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, paired with 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. A separate report also suggested there'd be a 256GB storage variant as In terms of optics, the Vivo Y400 Pro will reportedly come with a 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup, including a Sony IMX882 primary OIS sensor, along with a 32-megapixel front the Amazon listing also reveals that the phone could come with Funtouch OS 14 software. However, that's highly unlikely, considering all Vivo phones in 2025 have featured Funtouch OS 15 atop Android from the Freestyle White colour, the Vivo Y400 Pro is also rumoured to come in a Festival Gold colour option, as per recall, the Vivo Y300 Pro+ was recently launched in China and was repackaged as the Vivo T4 5G for the Indian market. Instead, the Vivo Y300 came to India last year in November. And now, we are straight up jumping to the Vivo Y400 launching, expect the phone to retail around Rs 25,000 in India. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the Vivo Y400 Pro.

India's smartphone shipments drop 8% in 1Q25; Vivo retains top position: Canalys
NEW DELHI: India's smartphone shipments fell 8% year-on-year in the January-March quarter of 2025 to 32.4 million units, mainly due to persistent weakness in consumer demand and an elevated channel inventory from late last year, according to the latest research data released by Canalys on Monday. 'This inventory overhang disrupted product launch cycles and forced recalibration of channel strategies,' the market tracker said. At the same time, the evolving landscape of the tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump-led US government will strengthen India's position in the global smartphone value chain, but demand volatility is expected to test the market in the coming quarters, according to Canalys. In Q1 2025, Vivo retained the top spot with 7 million shipment units and a 22% market share, further widening its lead over the second-ranked South Korean Samsung , which shipped 5.1 million units for a 16% share, according to Canalys data. Xiaomi followed in the third position with 4 million units and a 12% share, while Oppo (excluding OnePlus) and Realme shipped 3.9 million units and 3.5 million units, respectively.

'With consumer demand still fragile, 2025 is shaping up to be another channel-driven year,' said Sanyam Chaurasia, a senior analyst at Canalys. 'In the absence of strong organic pull, vendors are relying heavily on retail and distribution networks to stimulate purchases. Channel schemes, offline activations and tighter sell-out coordination will again define share gains.' In the March 2025 quarter, Vivo extended its lead with a balanced portfolio and sharp channel execution, with its V50 series, T- and Y-series ensuring a strong online-offline synergy, as per Chaurasia. 'Meanwhile, Realme regained momentum following an inventory correction, with nearly 20% of shipments driven by the new 14X 5G and offline channels now contributing 58% of its volume,' he added. With a softening in the broader demand, premium brands Apple and Samsung are anchoring their strategies around upgrade intent and higher average selling price (ASP) plays, as per Chaurasia. 'Apple achieved its best-ever Q1 in India, driven by strong iPhone 16 series momentum and compelling offers across ecommerce and large format retailers (LFRs) during Republic Day promotions. The introduction of the iPhone 16e allowed Apple to deepen its reach into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities,' he said. Despite starting the quarter with elevated inventory and a 23% year-on-year drop in total shipments, Samsung witnessed 5% annual growth in its S25 series versus S24 in Q1 2024, driven by premium momentum and conversational AI features, the analyst said. 'For both brands, ecosystem stickiness and premium-led channel execution will be key strategic levers in the coming quarters,' he added. With limited organic growth drivers and reliance on channel dynamics, the India smartphone market is expected to grow modestly in 2025. 'Still, rising ASPs and financing-backed premiumization present a silver lining, with the sweet spot shifting toward the ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 (approximately US$250 to US$350) price band,' Chaurasia said.
