Vivo has recently introduced the Vivo T4x, a smartphone that aims to strike a balance between performance and affordability in the competitive budget segment. This new addition to Vivo’s lineup promises a compelling set of features for its price point. This blog post will delve into the key aspects of the Vivo T4x, including its design, specifications, and price in the Indian market.
Design and Display: A Focus on Practicality
The Vivo T4x features a practical and comfortable design. It sports a 6.72-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2408 x 1080 pixels. This display offers a smooth viewing experience thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate. The brightness can reach up to 1050 nits in high brightness mode, ensuring decent visibility even under sunlight. The screen also covers 83% of the NTSC color gamut, delivering vibrant visuals. While it’s an LCD panel and not an AMOLED, it still offers good color reproduction for its price range. The phone also features stereo speakers, enhancing the multimedia experience. For added durability, the Vivo T4x comes with an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, protecting it from minor splashes. However, it lacks dedicated screen protection like Gorilla Glass, so using a screen protector is advisable.
Under the hood, the Vivo T4x is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. This octa-core processor, with its efficient 4nm architecture, ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even gaming. The phone comes with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, which can be further expanded virtually. For storage, users get 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory. It’s important to note that the device does not support expandable storage via a microSD card. In terms of software, the Vivo T4x runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on the latest Android 15 operating system. While Funtouch OS offers a wide array of customization options, some users might find the presence of pre-installed apps (bloatware) a minor drawback. However, many of these apps can be uninstalled. Vivo has promised two years of Android updates and three years of security updates for the device.
Camera: Capable Optics for Everyday Shots
The Vivo T4x features a dual-camera setup on the rear. The primary sensor is a 50MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture, capable of capturing good-quality images in daylight conditions with decent dynamic range and color accuracy. It’s accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor with an f/2.4 aperture, used for portrait shots. The rear camera can record videos up to 4K resolution at 30fps. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera with an f/2.05 aperture. While the front camera performs adequately in good lighting, low-light selfies might lack some detail. The rear camera also features a ring light, dubbed “Dynamic Light,” which serves as a notification indicator.
Battery and Charging: Long-Lasting Power
One of the standout features of the Vivo T4x is its massive 6500mAh battery. This large capacity ensures excellent battery life, easily lasting a full day and even stretching into the second day for moderate users. The phone supports 44W FlashCharge, allowing for relatively quick charging times for such a large battery. Vivo claims the phone can go from 0 to 100% in around 1 hour and 40 minutes. The device also supports reverse charging, allowing you to use it as a power bank to charge other devices. The Vivo T4x utilizes a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
Price and Availability in India: An Affordable Option
The Vivo T4x is priced competitively in the Indian market, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers seeking good performance and battery life. The phone is available in two color options: Marine Blue and Pronto Purple.
The official prices for the different RAM and storage variants in India are:
6GB RAM + 128GB Storage: ₹13,999
8GB RAM + 128GB Storage: ₹14,999
8GB RAM + 256GB Storage: ₹16,999
These prices position the Vivo T4x as a strong contender against other smartphones in the sub-₹15,000 and sub-₹17,000 segments. It is available for purchase through major online and offline retailers in India.
The Vivo T4x offers a compelling package for its price. Its powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor delivers smooth performance, while the large 6500mAh battery ensures excellent endurance. The 120Hz display provides a fluid viewing experience, and the 50MP primary camera captures decent photos in good lighting conditions. While it lacks some premium features like an AMOLED display and expandable storage, the Vivo T4x gets the basics right and provides a well-rounded experience for users looking for a reliable and affordable smartphone with a focus on performance and battery life. Its recent launch in India makes it a readily available option for consumers in the country.
