vivo T3 Ultra 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
While the Vivo T3 Ultra doesn't feature ZEISS branding and filters as far as optics are concerned, the handset delivers decent camera performance for its price. With a powerful processor, a smooth and immersive display, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, the T3 Ultra is a worthy all-rounder at its price.
Pros
- Capable processor
- IP68 dust and water resistance
- Impressive portrait shots
Cons
- Flicker sensor doesn`t help much
- Skin smoothening in images
Design and display
+
In terms of design, the T3 Ultra looks like it belongs in the V series, not the T series as it is similar to the V40 series handsets. Much like the V40 series handsets, the T3 Ultra also comes with a circular camera setup in an oblong-shaped module at the back. The Aura Light ring is present right below this module. As I said in the V40 review, the minimalistic design language gives the phone a premium look and a good in-hand feel. I don't want to repeat everything I said in that review so I'll just say that sans the ZEISS branding in the camera module, you would not be able to tell the difference between the V40 and the T3 Ultra. The new Vivo phone is available in Lunar Grey and Frost Green colours, and both look appealing in their own right. The phone comes with dual stereo speakers, which is a major plus point if you prefer to watch videos without headphones on.

Although the T3 Ultra has been designed to be a performance-oriented phone, there is no denying the fact that any Vivo phone comes with certain expectations when it comes to cameras. Before I get into the camera performance, let me get the nitty gritty out of the way. The T3 Ultra comes with a primary 50MP Sony IMX921 OIS camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor, f/1.88 aperture and Vivo Camera-Bionic Spectrum (to capture human eye-like images). The primary camera is assisted by an ultra-wide 8MP camera. The phone comes with Smart Aura Light as well, much like the V40 series to improve images in low-light scenarios. There is a flicker sensor on the phone as well to make sure your videos do not struggle with flicker issues.

Performance and Software

The standout aspect of the T3 Ultra, particularly from the V40, is in performance. While I was impressed by the V40, I pointed out that the phone should've done better with its processor choice as it features the same processor as its predecessor. However, the T3 Ultra comes with a much more powerful chipset at its helm - the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+. This octa-core chipset has been crafted using the 2nd-gen 4nm fabrication process and comes with a super-performance prime core Cortex-X3 CPU, with a clock speed of 3.35 GHz, the highest in the history of Vivo's series T smartphones.

With a 5,500mAh battery, it was hardly a surprise that the T3 Ultra managed to offer a pretty good backup for me in daily usage. While on some days I had to charge it the next day, on some, I had to plug the phone in by the evening.
