The T series of Vivo’s equipment has always been targeted on youth, aimed at introducing an attractive set of features at a compelling price. The new Vivo T4 is no different. It is similar to the recently launched IQO Z10 (also priced at the same), and aims to attract buyers by offering a stylish design and good battery life. Given that this is a mid-range smartphone, the design is always a priority, but what has really changed in the previous Vivo T3? Let’s dive!
Vivo’s T4 is clearly inspired by the company’s X200 series, which is of devices launched later last year. We received the Phantom Gray Unit for reviews and out of the box, it appears premium with a satin like a satin for its rear panel, as well as with curved edges and round corners. Its design is now IP65-rated which is for dust and water resistance, an improvement on the IP54 rating of Vivo T3.
Vivo T4’s rear panel and frame is made from polycarbonate
More manufacturers have started using a quad-race display in mid-range smartphones. Both Realme P3 Pro (review) and IQO Z10 both offer the same. Vivo’s T4 provides a 6.7-inch, 120Hz amoled panel with thin borders. While such panels do not necessarily improve the quality of viewing experience, the phone of aggressively curved glass shows the phone actually slimmer. She said, Vivo is worth some credits to be able to pack a high -capacity battery into a design that is just 7.89 mm at its thinnest point. And despite offering that massive battery upgrade, the weight of the phone has barely increased from 188 grams (Vivo T3) to 199 grams.
Vivo T4 has only one user-accessible rear-faceing camera
The chunky-dinner, cookie-shaped, camera module has only one user-accessible camera. There is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 (with OIS) primary camera with a 2-megapixel depth camera, which is used only for portrait mode. There is a circular LED flash above two cameras and an infrared blaster, which is used to control the devices, placed below it. While the primary camera remains the same on the Vivo T3, the selfie camera gets slightly downgraded from the 16-megapixel camera to the 8-megapixel sensor.
We also expect better performance from Vivo T4 this year. Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S General 3 has been a choice of choice for many brands selling smartphones at this price point, and Vivo’s T4, also uses the same. The phone provides up to 512GB of 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. There is no place for expandable storage, but the SIM tray has two physical nano SIM cards. And yes, Vivo T4 offers a single speaker, a larger downgrade than the stereo speakers of Vivo T3.
The phone is powered by Vivo’s Funtches OS 15, based on Android 15 and comes with several AI-competent tools and features
While the first mid-range smartphone was focused on stylish designs, the new silicone-carbon battery technique also allows them to pack high-to-normal capacity at one place. Vivo’s T4 (like IQO Z10) packs a high capacity of 7,300mAh, which is a large upgrade on Vivo T3’s 5,000mAh battery. The charging speed has increased from 44W to 90W, which should be in view of high capacity.
Overall, the Vivo T4 is a solid contender for the mid-limit. It offers adequate value this year given the various upgrades obtained this year. These upgrade also gives it an edge in the design and software department, where it needs to compete with brands like nothing and its phone 3A (review), which is aggressively priced this year, which brings it to the table.
