The Vivo T4x is here, and I’ve got to say—it’s packing some serious heat! From a massive battery to a sleek design and solid performance, this phone is trying to shake up the sub-15K segment.
I’ve been using it for over a week now, and I’m ready to tell you if it’s actually worth your money.
Battery Beast!
Let’s start with the biggest highlight—the battery. Vivo has gone all out with a 6500mAh battery, and that’s HUGE. But a big battery usually means longer charging times, right? Well, not really.
The T4x comes with 44W Flash Charge, and yes, you get the adapter inside the box! It takes about 40 minutes to go from 1% to 50%, which is pretty solid.
As for battery life, it easily lasts around a day and a half with normal usage. Even if you push it hard with gaming, social media, and video streaming, it still holds up with more than seven hours of screen-on time. No battery anxiety here!
Design
The unit I have is in Pronto Purple, but if that’s not your style, there’s also Marine Blue. The phone looks premium, and despite the massive battery, it’s surprisingly slim at 8.09mm. It does weigh 204 grams, but the weight is well distributed, so it never felt uncomfortable in my hand.
The back has a nice matte finish, while the camera island gets a glossy touch. I like this contrast—it gives the phone a premium feel. That said, I do wish the camera module was a bit smaller for a more refined look.
But the real showstopper is the dynamic light feature. It flashes different colours for notifications, calls, and even while charging. It’s not just a gimmick—it’s actually useful, and it looks cool too.
Durability is also a big plus here. The T4x has an IP64 rating, so it’s resistant to dust and water. Even if your hands are wet, the touch response stays smooth. The phone has also passed a military-grade shock resistance test, so it should survive a few accidental drops without an issue.
Display with Loud Speakers
The Vivo T4x features a 6.72-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the experience is great. Scrolling is smooth, animations look clean, and colors pop nicely. With 1050 nits of peak brightness, outdoor visibility is no problem.
And if you love watching content, you’re in for a treat. The dual stereo speakers on this phone get insanely loud—they can boost volume by up to 400%. It’s perfect for music, videos, or even gaming without headphones.
Performance
Under the hood, the T4x is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300—the same chipset found in the CMF Phone 1. What makes this exciting is that this chip is usually reserved for phones in the 20K price range, so seeing it here is a big win.
In my testing, the phone handled everything smoothly, and the 8GB of RAM in my unit made multitasking a breeze. BGMI runs at 60fps with no frame drops, and day-to-day performance feels snappy.
Benchmarks back it up too, with an Antutu score of 690,000. Plus, the CPU throttling test showed no major heating or performance drops.
You get 128GB and 256GB storage options, and I’d strongly recommend going for the 256GB variant because there’s no expandable storage here.
Software
The Vivo T4x runs on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, and there are some really useful features here. One of the coolest is ‘Circle to Search,’ which lets you search for anything—images, videos, or text—just by circling it on the screen.
You also get customizable Always-On Display styles to tweak clock designs and colors, and there’s AI screen translation, which can instantly translate any webpage or text.
There is some bloatware for sure, but the good news is most of it can be uninstalled, so it’s not a huge deal.
Camera Performance
Now, let’s get to the cameras. The Vivo T4x 5G sports a dual-camera system on the back, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, there’s an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
The primary rear camera takes decent outdoor shots, but when it comes to human subjects, it tends to soften and brighten skin tones a bit too much. Sometimes, the photos even look like oil paintings.
Portrait mode does a good job with objects, but edge detection isn’t the best. And in 2x mode, there’s an odd issue where the camera randomly removes fine details, like hair on the hand.
Surprisingly, the Vivo T4x 5G holds its own in low-light photography. Shots come out with a good amount of detail, and the noise is kept in check.
The selfie camera performs well too, producing natural-looking photos with good portrait mode effects. Video recording goes up to 4K at 30fps with stabilization, which is a welcome feature at this price point.
Final Verdict: Worth It?
The Vivo T4x is a powerhouse when it comes to battery life, performance, and design. It’s got a massive battery with fast charging, a sleek and lightweight build with dynamic lights, a smooth 120Hz display, and a solid MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip.
If cameras aren’t your top priority, this phone is an absolute steal at a starting price of Rs 13,999. It nails the essentials and then some, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish, long-lasting, and high-performing device.
