The mid-range smartphone market in India continues to heat up with the launch of the Vivo T4 5G, a device aimed at users seeking performance and style without breaking the bank. Positioned as a daily driver, the T4 5G offers a balanced mix of features, making it a worthy option for students, professionals, and casual users alike.
Design & Display:
The Vivo T4 5G sports a modern, minimalistic design with a matte finish on the rear panel, providing both a stylish look and a good grip. It features a 6.58-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and decent viewing angles. While not AMOLED, the screen quality is satisfactory for everyday media consumption and gaming.
Performance:
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM, the Vivo T4 5G handles multitasking, social media, and casual gaming with ease. The phone runs Funtouch OS 13 based on Android 13, which brings some useful customisation options. However, the interface is still loaded with pre-installed apps that may not appeal to all users.
Camera:
The dual-camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. In daylight, the photos are sharp with natural colours, but low-light performance is average. The 16MP front camera captures good selfies, especially under proper lighting. While it lacks advanced photography features, the camera setup works well for basic photography needs.
Battery & Charging:
Equipped with a 5000mAh battery, the T4 5G easily lasts a full day on moderate use. It supports 44W fast charging, allowing the battery to go from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes—ideal for users on the go.
Connectivity & 5G Support:
The phone offers dual-SIM support and is compatible with most 5G bands available in India, ensuring a smooth transition to next-gen networks. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Verdict:
The Vivo T4 5G delivers a well-rounded experience at an attractive price. While there are minor compromises like the lack of an AMOLED display and some software bloat, its performance, battery life, and design make it a solid choice in the under ₹20,000 segment. It's a smartphone that fits most users’ everyday needs with minimal fuss.
