Back in October 2021, Vivo announced the Vivo T1 and Vivo T1x as its first T-series of smartphones in China. Recent reports claimed that the Chinese manufacturer will be bringing its T-lineup to other markets outside China. Today, the Indian division of the brand confirmed that it will be launching the Vivo T1 5G smartphone on Feb. 9 in India.
The landing page of the Vivo T1 5G is now live on Flipkart and Vivo India’s website. The silhouette of the phone suggests that it could be the same T1 handset that was released in China.
In the coming days, Vivo will be confirming details like the processor, screen, turbo cooling technology, design, and cameras on the microsites of the phone. The T1 series is expected to rival other upcoming mid-range phones such as OnePlus Nord CE 2, Redmi Note 11 series, and Realme 9 Pro lineup in India. The company claims that it will be the fast smartphone in its segment in India.
