Reasons to buy the Vivo T4
Sleek and durable design
Despite housing a large battery, the Vivo T4 is not heavy as expected weighing 199g, and measuring just 7.9mm in thickness. The weight is also well-distributed, and the phone has a sleek and stylish in two colour options: Emerald Blaze and Phantom Grey. The Vivo T4’s IP65 rating isn’t impressive but it comes with MIL-STD-810H and Shield Glass protection making it durable enought to handle minor drops and everyday wear.
Capable performance
Vivo T4 is powered by a capable mid-range chispet, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Its benchmark scores are pretty good from AnTuTu, Geekbench, and Burnout CPU. When it comes to real-world experience, the Vivo T4 handles can handle everyday tasks like streaming, browsing, multitasking, and light editing with ease. While playing heavy titles like BGMI, COD: Mobile, and Real Racing 3, the Vivo T4 heated up by 20 degrees, which is on par with most competitors.
Massive battery
Coming to its highlight, the Vivo T4 packs a massive 7,300mAh battery. It achieved a runtime of 18 hours in the PCMark battery test, which is quite impressive. The smartphone can easily last for over a full day even with moderate to heavy use. During our tests, the Vivo T4’s battery dropped only 3 percent after a 30-minute YouTube video session. After playing GMI, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Real Racing 3 for 30 minutes each, the phone’s battery dropped by only 4 percent. In both cases, the Vivo T4 performed much better than rivals.
Fast charging
In addition to a massive battery, the Vivo T4 supports 90W fast charging, which can go from 20 percent to 100 percent in 45 minutes. You also get bypass charging supports bypass charging, which powers the device directly during use, reducing battery stress and helping preserve long-term battery health.
Reasons to skip the Vivo T4
No ultra-wide lens
The Vivo T4 delivers consistent results for everyday shots with its 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS camera, 2MP bokeh sensor, and a 32MP front camera. However, it’s missing an ultra-wide lens, something that you can find in competitors, such as the Redmi Note 14 and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. So users will miss out on capturing landscapes, large groups, and more.
Lacks NFC support
This might not be required by everyone but the lack of NFC support on the Vivo T4 can be inconvenient for some users. Without NFC, the Vivo T4 limits functionality for contactless payments with no NFC support.
