vivo T4X

Cameras are one aspect where there's been no major change from the last generation. The Vivo T4x still uses a 50MP primary camera paired with a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, you get an 8MP front camera. Daylight shots are quite appealing, offering good dynamic range, sharp details, and well-balanced colours.While Vivo does boost the colours a little, it doesn't go overboard, keeping things natural yet vibrant. The front camera, despite its lower 8MP resolution, holds its own in good lighting and delivers decent facial details and pleasing colours. Low-light photography, however, could use some more work, especially the night mode, which tends to crank up the colours a bit too much, taking away from the natural feel of the shot. Worry not, however, as the standard low-light shots perform just as well without the additional colour correction.

Vivo has chosen the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC this time around compared to the Snapdragon offering in its predecessor. The Dimensity 7300 is rather rare at this price and is more common across phones priced around Rs 18,000 or more. With a capable chipset at its core and up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM & 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, the performance on this phone is pretty damn sweet. One point of contention though is there's no expandable storage, so you're all in on the storage variant you chose.The phone dwarfs its main competitors in terms of performance, there's no jitters or lags in day-to-day use and even demanding tasks like gaming or multitasking are handled quite efficiently. The Vivo T4x maintains a lead over its prime competitors in basically all major synthetic benchmarks, as you can see in the images attached. Its gaming performance too is a notch above its competitors and the device offers better average FPS and higher frame rate support in BGMI. The phone comes with Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box. The OS is quite stable and smooth for day-to-day use and offers you tonnes of features. There's a lot of options to customise OS animations as well, from the app drawer, home screen, face unlock, screen lock, etc., and you can add a personal flair to your device.Vivo has also reduced the number of pre-installed apps on the device, however, there's still a few random apps and app folders like 'Hot Apps' which can be somewhat annoying to remove. You also have a suite of AI features like AI Screen Translate, Live Image (extract text from images), Circle to Search, etc., which basically function as their namesakes. The AI Documentation is a new feature that helps you quickly scan photos and convert them to files in moments. You get 2 major OS upgrades till Android 17 and security updates till 2028, which is pretty standard for this price segment. Pre-installed appsSoftware support Vivo T4x552 OS upgrades + 3 years securityPOCO M7 Pro712 OS upgrades + 4 years securityRealme P3x632 OS upgrades + 3 years security

The Vivo T4x's 6500mAh battery is, without a doubt, its biggest strength. While its PCMark battery benchmark score is fairly average for the price segment, that number doesn't quite tell the full story. In 91mobiles' lab tests that span roughly two hours of streaming and gaming, the phone's battery dropped by just 16 percent. For context, most phones in this price range see a drop of around 23 to 26 percent in similar conditions, making the T4x a lot more power-efficient.I easily managed around 10 hours of screen-on time with my usage, which leans slightly towards the heavier side. Even power users should have little to worry about. The phone supports 44W fast charging, and despite its massive battery, it refuels at a satisfactory pace. A 20 to 100 percent charge takes just over an hour. While that might seem a tad long for 2025, you're only going to need a top-up every 1.5 days or so, pretty solid for a phone in this segment. BatteryCharging timeVivo T4x6500mAh 67 minutes (44W)POCO M7 Pro5110mAh53 minutes (33W)Realme P3x6000mAh +74 minutes (45W)
