Vivo T4x 5G: The Ultimate Budget 5G Phone?
India’s budget smartphone war just got hotter! The Vivo T4x 5G storms into the ₹13,499 segment with a 6000mAh battery, 120Hz display, and MediaTek’s 5G-ready chipset. But in a market dominated by Xiaomi and Realme, does it stand a chance? I spent 10 days testing this phone—here’s my unfiltered take.
Key Features: What’s New & Noteworthy
1. 6000mAh Battery: Marathon King
- Real-World Test: Streaming YouTube for 6 hours drained only 40% battery.
- Pain Point: 18W charging takes 2+ hours for a full charge. Tip: Charge overnight!
- Unique Use Case: Use it as a power bank for your TWS earbuds (reverse wired charging).
2. 120Hz Display: Smooth but Not Perfect
- Brightness: 600 nits works under direct sunlight, but colors look washed vs AMOLED rivals.
- Gaming: BGMI runs at 40fps (Medium settings)—good for casual gamers, not pros.
3. 5G Performance: Future-Ready?
- Speed: 250–320Mbps on Airtel 5G (tested in Pune and Delhi).
- Weakness: No 5G band n28 (used in rural areas), so check your locality’s coverage.
- Camera Test: Daylight vs Low-Light
- Daylight: 50MP shots have crisp details (see the attached flower close-up).
- Low Light: Noise creeps in, but Pro Tip: Use Night Mode + Google Photos’ AI enhancer.
- Selfie Alert: The 8MP front camera over-smooths skin—disable “Beauty Mode” for natural shots.
Software & Bloatware: The Good & Bad
- Funtouch OS 14: Feels snappy, but comes with 7 pre-installed apps (Facebook Lite, Snapchat).
- Delete Guide: Uninstall bloatware in 3 steps: Settings > Apps > Uninstall.
- Update Promise: 2 Android upgrades (till Android 16) and 3 years of patches—better than Redmi!
