Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO have increased prices for the T5x and Z11x smartphones in India, starting this September.
The base 6GB + 128GB variant now costs ₹27,999, up from ₹24,999.
The 8GB + 128GB model has risen from ₹27,999 to ₹30,999.
The top 8GB + 256GB version is now priced at ₹34,999 for the Vivo T5x, while the iQOO Z11x equivalent is listed at ₹33,999.
This marks at least the third price increase for these devices in 2026, with launch prices starting at ₹18,999 in March.
Reason Behind the Hike
Rising costs of RAM and storage are likely the main driver, affecting many mid-range phones this year.
Neither Vivo nor iQOO has provided a detailed explanation for the latest jump.
Both phones feature MediaTek's Dimensity 7400 Turbo, a 7,200mAh battery, a 120Hz Full HD+ LCD, and a 50MP main camera.
The large battery remains a key selling point for these models.
These repeated hikes highlight the challenges in the entry-level and mid-range segment amid fluctuating memory prices.
Interested buyers might find older stock at previous prices in some online or offline stores.
Alternative options with similar battery or chipsets exist, though prices across the category have generally been rising.
