Vivo Y400 Pro 5G: This is the territory mid-range smartphones play in, and it’s a tough neighborhood to stand out in.
Splashy designs, 5G chips and oversized cameras are being crammed into every brand, all fighting to catch the buyer’s eye.
And in this cacophony, Vivo’s just-announced Y400 Pro 5G quietly finds its place—and rightfully so, given the amalgamation of performance, design, and day-to-day usability it packs in.
It may not have flagship status to boast of, but it isn’t and doesn’t try to be one.
What the Y400 Pro provides is a well-rounded set—good for work, good enough for play, and the comfortable middle ground in between—without breaking the bank.
Design: Aesthetic and Sleek
The Y400 Pro is immediately striking for a phone of this price bracket. It has a classy feel thanks to its glass-like rear panel, curved edges and polished finish.
It comes in gentle gradient colors that light play on without being offensively over the top.
It’s really great in hand — it’s thin, light, and ergonomic enough to make one-handed use a breeze.
The back is clean with a modern look, as the rear camera module is neatly tucked into a rectangular bump.
Screen: Bright, Smooth, Easier to Read
The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen on the front is fantastic. It comes with FHD+ resolution, and it packs a punch when we talk about the refresh rate with a 120Hz refresh rate that means smooth scrolling, vivid details, and popping colors throughout.
Whether you’re binging Netflix or casually scrolling through Instagram reels, the view experience is engaging.
It’s also bright enough to be used outside, and the narrow bezels help the screen feel larger, without making the phone feel too big.
Performance: Comes Through When it Really Counts
The Y400 Pro is armed with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset under the hood, paired with 8GB RAM which can be expanded to 8GB virtual RAM as well, and it is available in 128GB/256GB storage options.
This combination provides seamless and reliable performance for everyday use of multitasking, streaming or flipping between apps.
Game-wise, it does fine. Casual and mid-core titles play just fine. You may have to tone down graphics in heavier games such as BGMI or Call of Duty Mobile, but for most people, it won’t be the end of the world.
Cameras: All-Around Performer
It has 64MP primary sensor along with a 2MP depth sensor. In daylight photography, it acquits itself well — colors are neutral, edges are sharp, and the AI scene detection does a good job of making every photo its best.
The portraits have good edge detection and closeups hold decent clarity.
Low-light performance is so-so, though Night Mode is on board so you can’t complain too much.
The 16MP front-facing camera does a good job with selfies, maintaining skin tones accurately without too much airbrushing.
Battery and Charging: Worry Not Here
Powering the Y400 Pro is a 5000mAh battery, and it manages to last a day of heavy usage with ease. Light and moderate users may be able to get day and a half out of it.
That fast charging is useful when you go to power up too, as the 44W charger will get you to 50% in under half an hour.
It may not be the quickest charger available, but it’s quick enough that you won’t be hanging out next to a wall outlet all day.
Software: Simple and Smooth
The phone is powered by Funtouch OS 14, which is built on Android 14. It’s fairly clean, though you will get a little bit of pre-installed apps.
The interface is snappy, transitions are fluid and Vivo has thrown in some useful features, include smart gestures, split-screen multitasking and screen recording.
