Alright, let’s cut the fluff — the Vivo T4x is here, and if you’re wondering whether it’s worth your money or just another budget phone wrapped in flashy marketing, you’re not alone.
I’ve been following Vivo’s T-series for a while now, and let’s be real: it’s been a hit-or-miss game. Sometimes, they pull off great value (like the T1 days), and other times, it’s just a renamed version of some iQOO phone. So, where does the T4x land?
First Impressions: Clean Look, Familiar Vibes
The Vivo T4x looks good. Like, surprisingly good for a budget phone. It’s slim, minimal, with that slightly glossy finish at the back that doesn’t scream cheap. But here’s the thing — if you’ve seen the iQOO Z series recently, this phone will feel very familiar. Coincidence? Nah.
Still, props to Vivo for keeping things simple. No unnecessary camera bumps. Just a clean slab with a big display and a side fingerprint scanner that works fast. Not bad.
Performance: Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 = Smart Choice
Now this part surprised me — Vivo didn’t go with a MediaTek chip this time. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 under the hood gives this phone some legs.
Day-to-day usage? Smooth. Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube — all good. Even light gaming is possible without the phone becoming a hand warmer. I tried BGMI on medium settings for like 40 minutes — handled it fine, no lag spikes, no crazy heating.
The 120Hz refresh rate on the IPS LCD panel helps too. Yes, I wish it were AMOLED. But then again, at this price point, you can’t expect everything. And honestly, the panel is bright enough for outdoor use, which is what matters.
Battery Life: Vivo Did It Right Here
You get a 5000mAh battery, and combined with the efficient Snapdragon chip, this phone easily gives a full day and then some. No stress. Even with heavy scrolling and 4G data on all day, I ended most days with 20–25% battery left.
Charging is 44W, which is decent. Not blazing fast like 67W phones, but you’re still getting 0–70% in around 35 minutes. That’s more than enough for most people.
Cameras: Meh. It’s Just… Okay
This is where Vivo still does Vivo things. The main camera is a 50MP sensor, but don’t let the number fool you. It clicks okay photos in daylight — Instagram-worthy, sure. But low light? Soft. Detail gets washed out. No OIS.
Front camera? Decent for video calls, meh for selfies. If you’re expecting flagship-like skin tones or dynamic range, look elsewhere. It’s not bad, it’s just… there.
Final Thought
So is the Vivo T4x worth buying?
If your budget is under ₹15K and you want a phone that looks good, performs well for daily use, and won’t die before bedtime — yes, it’s a solid choice.
Just don’t buy it expecting a camera champ or AMOLED display. It’s not that phone. But for the price, especially if it dips under ₹13K during sales? Honestly, it might be one of the better all-rounders in the budget crowd right now.
If Vivo keeps this up, the T-series might get interesting again. Fingers crossed.
