REVIEW ON VIVO T2 5G PHONE
The Vivo T2 5G is now available in India and is priced below Rs. 20,000. The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage base variant is priced at Rs. 18,999, while the higher variant with 8GB RAM costs Rs. 20,999. Vivo also launched a more affordable model, the Vivo T2x 5G, which starts at Rs. 12,999.
In the sub-Rs. 20,000 price range, the competition is fierce, with many options available. The Vivo T2 5G has several improvements over its predecessor, the Vivo T1 5G (Review), including a better camera setup, faster charging, and a more compact design. Here are our initial impressions of the phone.
The Vivo T2 5G is lightweight due to its polycarbonate body, weighing about 172g, which is 10g lighter than its predecessor. It also has a slimmer design at 7.8mm and offers a good in-hand feel with its flat frame design and curved corners. It comes in Nitro Blaze and Velocity Wave colour options.
The Nitro Blaze variant has a glossy finish with a gradient effect in shades of sunset colours on the rear panel. The Velocity Wave variant has a more sober black colour. The phone has a single speaker at the bottom and a USB Type-C port next to a 3.5mm headphone jack. The power and volume buttons are on the right side, while the top has a hybrid SIM slot that supports dual-SIM cards or a single SIM with a microSD card.
The Vivo T2 5G has a 6.38-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate. It has a 1080x2400-pixel resolution and can reach up to 1,300 nits of peak brightness. The phone has a waterdrop notch at the top of the display, with fairly narrow top and side bezels, but a thicker chin. It also has an in-display fingerprint scanner and AI-based face recognition support.
The Vivo T2 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is also found in several other smartphones, including the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G and iQoo Z6 5G. The phone runs on Funtouch OS 13, which is based on Android 13.
The phone has a dual-camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary sensor with OIS and a 2-megapixel depth sensor at the back. It also has a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calling. The phone lacks an ultra-wide camera.
The Vivo T2 5G has a smaller battery capacity of 4,500mAh than its predecessor, but it supports faster 44W charging, and the adapter is included in the box. The phone can be charged from zero to 50 percent in 25 minutes, according to Vivo.

Moving on to the software, the Vivo T2 5G runs on Funtouch OS 13 which is based on Android 13. The UI is quite similar to stock Android but with a few added features such as app clone, gesture-based navigation, and more. The phone also comes pre-installed with a bunch of third-party apps such as Facebook, Opera, and Flipkart, which can be uninstalled if not needed.
Now, let's talk about the camera setup of the Vivo T2 5G. The phone features a dual-camera setup at the back which includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor with support for optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The primary camera captures decent photos in daylight conditions with good detail and dynamic range. However, the low-light performance of the camera is average and the photos tend to be grainy with a loss in detail. The phone also lacks an ultra-wide-angle camera which is disappointing.
On the front, the phone features a 16-megapixel selfie camera that captures good quality selfies in daylight conditions. The camera also supports portrait mode and AI beautification features.
Lastly, let's talk about the battery and charging of the Vivo T2 5G. The phone comes with a 4,500mAh battery which is smaller than the 5,000mAh battery found on its predecessor. However, the phone supports faster 44W charging which is a huge upgrade. The company claims that the phone can be charged from zero to 50 percent in just 25 minutes, which is quite impressive.
In conclusion, the Vivo T2 5G is a good mid-range phone that offers some notable upgrades over its predecessor, such as a better camera setup, faster charging, and a slimmer design. However, the phone faces stiff competition from other phones in this price range, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G and the Realme X7 Max 5G, both of which offer better specs and features at a similar price point.
