Alright, so Vivo’s dropped the T4x — another budget warrior trying to elbow its way into the under-15K crowd. And let’s be honest, this segment is crowded as hell. You’ve got options from Redmi, iQOO, Realme, Motorola… and now Vivo wants a slice too. So, does the T4x bring anything fresh to the table? Let’s break it down like we’re chatting over chai.
First things first: Specs don’t lie
So, on paper, the Vivo T4x looks decent. You’re getting a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, 120Hz IPS LCD, 6000mAh battery, and 44W fast charging. That’s… solid. Especially that battery. It’s massive — you’re easily looking at 2-day usage if you’re not gaming all day.
But here’s the thing — we’ve seen these specs before. The Redmi Note 13 series already has similar hardware. Even some iQOO phones (yes, Vivo’s cousin) offer more juice for just a few bucks extra.
Performance: Snappy enough for most
Daily tasks? Smooth. Socials, YouTube, browsing — no issues. Even games like BGMI run well on medium settings. No frame drops unless you push it hard. But hardcore gamers? You might want something beefier. This chip is efficient, not powerful.
Also, Funtouch OS — it’s not everyone’s favorite. I find it a bit bloated. Too many pre-installed apps that you’ll uninstall in the first 5 minutes. But hey, once you clean it up, it runs fine. Just… don’t expect Pixel-like software.
That Display? Bright enough, but not AMOLED
Here’s where Vivo played it safe. A 120Hz LCD is cool, but if you’ve used AMOLED, you’ll miss those deep blacks. It’s bright enough outdoors, colors are okay-ish, and that high refresh rate does make scrolling feel smooth. But again, nothing we haven’t seen before.
Camera: Just “okay”
Main shooter is 50MP, and… it’s alright. Good lighting = decent photos. The dynamic range is fine. But the processing? A bit over-sharpened at times. Low light? Meh. You get noise, softness, and a bit of a struggle. Vivo’s been decent with selfie cams, and this one’s no exception. It does the job for Insta stories and the occasional selfie spam.
Just don’t expect flagship magic — this is a budget phone, and the camera reminds you of that.
Battery life? Absolute tank.
Now this is where the T4x shines. That 6000mAh battery is a beast. Easily 7+ hours of screen-on time. And 44W charging isn’t the fastest out there, but it gets the phone from dead to 50% in around half an hour, which is decent. You won’t be chained to a charger, and that’s a relief.
So… worth it?
If your budget’s tight and you want a no-nonsense phone that lasts long, runs smoothly, and doesn’t heat up like crazy, the Vivo T4x is a safe pick. Not exciting, not revolutionary, but it delivers where it counts. Just don’t expect premium feels or crazy features.
Honestly? For ₹12K to ₹13K (depending on offers), it’s a solid daily driver. But if you can stretch your budget by ₹1-2K, you might get better overall value with slightly older iQOO or Redmi models.
