Try offline market once brother, it's likely you can get something of old stock with lower price, specially if you can get a Vivo T4x or Vivo T3 pro at 23k, it's steal deal.

The ZuPick verdict
The vivo T5 Lite 5G gets the basics right for battery life, smooth everyday use and durability, but it falls behind where this price range is most competitive. The display and camera setup are the biggest compromises, with performance also landing below average.

Pros & cons
The 6500 mAh battery is one of the biggest strengths here. It comfortably lasts a full day for heavy users and can stretch well into a second day with lighter use.
44W charging is solid for a battery this large. A 50% top-up in 38 minutes makes it easier to recover quickly during a busy day.
IP65 protection adds peace of mind against dust and splashes. That is a practical extra for daily commuting and rougher handling.
The 120 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and app navigation fluid. It makes the phone feel smoother in regular use than a basic 60 Hz panel.
At this price, the 720x1600 LCD panel is a clear weakness. It looks less sharp than Full HD rivals, and many alternatives offer AMOLED with better contrast too.
It scores about 576,000 on AnTuTu, which is on the lower side for this budget. Everyday use is fine, but heavier games and long-term speed are less convincing.
The 50 MP main camera is basic for the price, and video tops out at 1080p30. The 5 MP selfie camera is especially modest for calls and social posts.
Starting with 4 GB RAM at over ₹20,000 feels tight today. Multitasking headroom is limited compared with stronger rivals in this range.
