The smartphone at the bottom of the mid-range segment (starting at Rs 20,000. Starting from Rs 20,000) is considered a poster boyz, which encourages budget smartphone buyers to spend a little more with upgrade, which needs to justify their value tag. Vivo T4 (IQO Z10) is also a mid-ranger that is expected to offer a typical mid-range glamor wrapped in an attractive price tag. Sadly, Deputy RS. The 25,000 segment has recently become a very competitive. And T4 of Vivo, despite many upgrades, somehow falls slightly less than expectations, even if it can be an ideal option for something.
Vivo T4 Design
Vivo’s T4 definitely looks part for a mid-range device. Its overall design is inspired by the Ultra-Pramium Vivo X200 series, but it also has some special design elements, making it a very attractive smartphone for its price tag.
The winding middle-frame of the Vivo T4 praised its quad-cresh display, which is a slim overall appearance
At just 199 grams, the phone measures just 7.9 mm at its thinnest point. Aggressally curbly curved polycarbonate mid-frames, quad-crescent displays and quad-crested polycarbonate rear panels, and you will have a phone that also looks very thin.
This is impressive as this smartphone somehow manages to squeeze into the battery with a capacity of 7,300mAh. And it is not just about looking good, as this Vivo smartphone also contains IP65-rated designs for dust and water resistance.
Plastic rear panel is a smoke magnet despite its matte finish, but it was difficult to see almost white, Phantom Gray Finnish of our review unit.
Stylish looks on one side, I also like that the large rear camera module has a good plastic ring around it. When you use it for support, it will not earn a wooden table or your finger.
Live t4 performance
The quad-race panel gives the smartphone a stylish and modern appearance, but they also show disturbing reflections when viewed. Vivo T4 performance is no exception. However, given its price, it is good to see that it is full-HD+ AMOLED panel HDR 10-identic, which also means that it can be actually bright (5,000 NIT peaks) when used when used out.
Vivo T4 has a quad-cresh, 120Hz amoled panel
It is a matter of regret that this lively performance is with a single, bottom-firing speaker. It is sufficiently loud and produces a very triple sound in maximum (100 percent) volume, but it also seems slightly deformed. Funtouch OS adds an audio booster mode (up to 200 percent), but it is not more loud than 100 percent. There are both smartphones at this price point and above that provide much better (or rich) sound quality.
Depending on Android 15, the software is usually vivo. There are lots of adaptation options, and Vivo pairs some practical and easy AI tools in the mixture. During the testing period, the phone was no sign of no noticeable hiccups and intervals. The same can be said about the fingerprint scanner, which is unlocked quickly and worked firmly each time.

Our benchmark tests have the same results that have been achieved by smartphones competing at this price point. Vivo T4 is no different, as can be seen from the benchmark chart below, and like others it faces some serious competition from Poco F6, the only phone to offer a Snapdragon 8S General 3 SOC at this price point.

The benchmark tests are purely synthetic, and therefore, they are not a real -world test of raw performance. But gaming is.
I tried call of duty: mobile (Codm) because it is a low-end mid-range device. The phone was surprisingly default for very high graphics and maximum frame rates, in which most of the effects were closed. The game easily worked on default settings. The frame rate was not stable, but the gameplay was quite smooth, and I could play for more than 45 minutes on a stretch of no heating issues. I tried to play the game at an ultra frame rate. While the gameplay was visually smooth, it was not 90 FPS smooth.
Vivo T4 has only one user-accessible rear-faceing camera
While the phone looks good, it seems can cheat. A clear case for this is the rear camera setup, which is both chunky land and has 3 rear-faceing cameras. However, there is only a user-solid 50-megapixel camera.
Vivo T4 primary camera samples (tap images to expand)
Pictures captured using the main camera showed slightly saturated colors by default. You can turn off the saturation level by activating the natural color mode of the camera app, but they may look slightly very blurred and are not actually the real representation of the scene in front of you.
The dynamic range is very good, and you get great expansion in bright spots and shadows, even if the camera makes the scenes a little more. While photos appear sharp on the phone’s display, zoom slightly reveals a slightly uncontrolled texture on all surfaces. For some reason, they appear a little smud. The details are slightly soft until the item you are shooting. The phone’s autofocus system is quick to lock the focus, and rarely I came to a scene where I had to tap to focus on the object I had to tap.

In low light, the camera captures quality images with good expansion. For some reason, the smooth texture I saw during the shooting of daylight is taken care of by night mode, and so we have some vibrant photos, which have good dynamic range and solved details. It takes some time for the camera to shoot a low-light photo. In scented scenes, you may have to wait for 2 seconds or more patients to capture an image.
Vivo T4 2x Zoom Camera Samples (Tap images to expand)
Vivo zoom uses a crop of primary camera sensors to in -in. In auto mode, the results are not good, and you end up with smud-up texture when shooting anything beyond the length of the hand. Originally, it is not good to shoot photos on your next holiday.
The portrait mode of the phone does not do either good, but it is tolerant in daylight, as can be seen in the samples below.
Pictures captured on 1x show good details, but slightly overtake (tap image to expand)
On 1.5X, the quality deteriorates slight
On 2x, ideal for telephoto shots, the quality of photos gets worse, and you will also see some croma noise in settling.
In low light, things take an expected bend for the worst, the camera attempted to promote colors and reduce the noise, resulting in a slightly solved details or flat -looking photos of themes with the description or texture. (Tap the image to expand)
The selfie comes out properly in the daylight with a good edge detection, but the camera goes to beautify an image when the screen flash is turned on for some strange reason. (Tap the image to expand)
Video recording does surprisingly well in daylight, showing natural colors and good dynamic range. The 1080P 60 FPS is a stable frimit in video recording, but 4K 30 FPS video recording provides the best quality. In low light, the colors turn slightly yellow, but video recording has a stable frame rate. The noise is controlled, so the output looks great.
Vivo T4’s high -capacity silicon carbon batteries can easily stay up to two days with mild use
One of the highlight characteristics of this smartphone at this price point is its battery capacity. The 7,300mAh battery lasted for 37 hours and 55 minutes very impressive in our HD video loop test, which plays locally stored on a loop until the battery walks out. In the PCMark Work Battery Test, which runs a group of real -world functions on a loop, the phone once again affected, manages the impressive score of 26 hours and 56 minutes. Given my daily use (gaming, camera, social media, call, office apps), high-capacity silicon carbon battery gave me a screen-on time of about 13 hours, which is basically good for two functioning days of use. Actually, reducing the battery of this phone was a proper challenge.
Vivo t4 decision
Vivo T4, Price from Rupees. 21,999, when it comes to battery life and everything else, it shows the party with a rear camera when we do not have anything such as 3A (review) as asking 3 rear cameras like phone 3A (review) at a price of Rs. 24,999. It is very difficult to settle for this price point and around the same rear camera. But Vivo provides a competent one, provided you use it at its original (1x) focal length. And if you can live with it, you will get incredible value for your money with Vivo.
Poco F6 (Review) remains the choice of gamers, looking at its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, which is Rs. There is a theft given. 21,999 value tag. And if you can increase your budget to a few thousand, then OnePlus Nord 4 (Review) is to get a phone, which starts from the rupee. 27,499.
Vivo can make his T4 more seductive to its customers by equipping his T4 with telephoto camera and reducing the capacity of his battery. Given its current hardware, it is still a good option for those who are looking for a slim and stylish mid-range smartphone with incredible battery life.
