Vivo T4 5G First Impressions: Slim, Powerful, and Built to Last

The Vivo T4 5G is turning heads with a combination that’s hard to ignore—a massive 7300mAh battery, 90W fast charging, and a sleek body that measures under 8mm thick. That’s right, this phone houses one of the largest batteries we’ve seen in a mainstream device, all while keeping the weight and thickness impressively manageable.

First Look and What’s in the Box

Right out of the box, the Vivo T4 makes a solid impression. It comes with a protective case, documentation, a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, a SIM ejector tool, and a 90W flash charger included—something not all manufacturers provide these days.

The phone’s wavy back design stands out, and the matching camera ring adds a stylish touch. Despite the large battery, it weighs just around 198.5g. Thanks to excellent weight distribution, it feels lighter than you’d expect.

Design and Build Quality

The build is sleek at 7.89mm, which is remarkable for a phone with such a large battery. The back is plastic, but the device is durable with Military Grade 810H certification and IP65 water and dust resistance. It also survived a few scratch and drop tests without damage, reinforcing its solid build.

Ports and buttons are well placed, including a dual SIM tray, Type-C charging port, bottom-firing speaker, and physical buttons for power and volume. The device also includes a secondary noise-canceling microphone on the left.

Display and Visual Experience

The T4 boasts a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and micro-quad curved edges, giving it a premium feel. It supports HDR and reaches up to 1300 nits brightness in high brightness mode, with a peak of 5000 nits, making it easily visible even under direct sunlight.

Bezels are impressively thin, offering a nearly full-screen experience. The SGS Blue Light certification ensures eye comfort during long usage.

Performance and Specifications

Under the hood, the Vivo T4 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. Paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, it delivers smooth performance. The base variant comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, and higher-end versions offer up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Gaming is solid—BGMI runs at 60FPS and Genshin Impact maintains a consistent 35-40FPS. With an AnTuTu score close to 800,000, this phone holds its own in the mid-range performance segment.

Battery life is another highlight. The massive 7300mAh battery charges from 0 to 100% in under 65 minutes with the 90W charger. For casual and power users alike, that’s a game changer.

Software and Features

The Vivo T4 runs on FunTouch OS 15 based on Android 15. Vivo promises two major OS updates and three years of security patches. The phone includes a few smart AI features like Note Assist, AI Erase, and Circle to Search.

While there are a few pre-installed apps, most can be uninstalled, and notifications from system apps can be disabled. Vivo also claims the device will maintain fluency for up to 50 months—more than four years.

Cameras and Multimedia

On the camera front, the Vivo T4 features a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor on the rear, along with a 32MP front camera for selfies. The rear setup is capable of 4K video at 30FPS, and the selfie camera supports the same.

Photography is vibrant with solid color accuracy and good detail. The camera app includes night mode, 2X portrait mode, super moon mode, pro mode, and Ultra HD document capture. While it lacks an ultrawide lens, the existing setup performs well in most conditions.

Multimedia performance is equally strong. The bright AMOLED panel paired with immersive audio makes watching videos or playing games a joy. Support for Widevine L1 means you can stream HD content from apps like Netflix and Prime Video without issue.

Connectivity and Other Highlights

Connectivity features include Bluetooth 5.2, support for 10 5G bands, and dual 5G standby. However, it lacks NFC and FM radio. There’s also an IR blaster—a welcome feature for some users.

Additional details include USB 2.0 support, LED indicator at the back, and SAR values well within the safety limits. It’s available in two colors, including a bold design and a subtle grey variant that resembles the Vivo X200 Pro.

Price and Final Thoughts

The Vivo T4 is priced at ₹21,999, and for that, you get a device with a massive battery, high-speed charging, a great display, and decent performance. While the absence of an ultrawide lens is a minor letdown, everything else it offers makes up for it.

If you’re looking for a slim, durable smartphone with excellent battery life and modern features at a mid-range price, the Vivo T4 5G is worth considering.
