Design
The Vivo T4x 5G comes in two eye-catching shades, that is, Marine Blue and Proton Purple. For this review, I got my hands on the Marine Blue variant, which features a glittery effect on the back. Now, whether you like this design or not is subjective. Some might find it flashy, while others, like me, will appreciate its unique pattern.
When you turn the phone backwards, you’ll find a camera module. There’s also a ring light around the camera module which goes by the name the Dynamic Light. But don’t mistake it for a flashlight. This Dynamic Light is purely for notifications, alerts, incoming calls, and charging indications. And yes, there’s also a regular flashlight on the back for when you actually need it.
In terms of build, the phone has a plastic composite back, which doesn’t feel ultra-premium but still looks stylish. At 208 grams, it’s slightly on the heavier side but the IP64 rating ensures protection against dust and splashes.
As for the button and port placement, the right side houses the volume rocker and power button, which are easy to access. The left side is home to the SIM tray, while the bottom features the charging port, microphone, and speaker grille. Everything is well-placed, and I didn’t face any issues with accessibility.
Display
The Vivo T4x 5G sports a 6.72-inch LCD display with a 2408 × 1080 resolution. While I would have loved an AMOLED panel for deeper blacks and punchier colors, the 120Hz refresh rate makes up for it by delivering smooth scrolling and a fluid experience.
With a peak brightness of 1050 nits (HBM), outdoor visibility is decent. During my usage, I had no trouble using it under direct sunlight. The colors look vibrant enough, thanks to the 83 percent NTSC color gamut and the 393 pixel density ensures sharp visuals.
Touch response is snappy, and since it’s a capacitive multi-touch panel, interactions feel smooth whether you are gaming or just browsing. However, if you are someone who prefers deep contrast and rich colors, you might miss having an AMOLED display here. Overall, it’s a solid display for the price, but an AMOLED panel would have made it even better.

Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo T4x 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset (built on a 4nm process). Paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB onboard storage, the phone handles everyday tasks with ease. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and even with multiple apps running in the background, I didn’t experience any major slowdowns.
Now when it comes to gaming, the Dimensity 7300 does a decent job. I played BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile at high settings, and the gameplay was smooth with minimal frame drops. The 120Hz refresh rate does make animations and touch response feel smooth. However, after extended gaming sessions of around 45 minutes to an hour, the device starts to heat up slightly, nothing extreme, but noticeable.
Now, here’s where things take a hit. The Vivo T4x 5G runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15. While it’s feature-packed and smooth in terms of performance, the cluttered UI and excessive bloatware kill the vibe. Pre-installed apps make the interface feel messy and cleaning them up takes effort. Vivo really needs to tone down the bloatware to make the software experience more enjoyable.
Overall, for everyday tasks and gaming, the Vivo T4x 5G performs well. If you can get past the bloatware, this phone delivers great performance for its price.
Camera
The Vivo T4x 5G features a dual-camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, it comes with an 8MP front camera.
The 50MP main camera on the Vivo T4x 5G delivers vibrant and bright photos. But if you prefer more natural tones, you might find the color processing a bit aggressive. Details are decent, though not flagship-level, and in good lighting conditions, the camera captures some really nice-looking shots.
When the sun goes down, the camera performance takes a slight hit. While the Night Mode helps in improving brightness and details, the images still have noticeable noise. You can get usable shots, but don’t expect it to work wonders in low-light conditions.
Now if we talk about selfies and video calls, the 8MP front camera is good. It captures sharp images with accurate skin tones, and I like that it doesn’t go overboard with beauty filters.
Also, there’s no ultra-wide lens which might be a dealbreaker for some. But considering the Rs. 16,999 price tag, we really can’t complain too much. The 2MP bokeh sensor does a fair job at background blur, but it’s not something that will blow you away.
If you love vibrant, colorful photos, the Vivo T4x 5G’s camera won’t disappoint. It’s great for daylight shots and decent for selfies, but low-light photography isn’t its strong suit.
Battery And Charging
The 6,500mAh battery on the Vivo T4x 5G is an absolute powerhouse. Whether you are scrolling endlessly through Instagram, binge-watching your favorite series, or playing games, this phone just keeps going.
On moderate usage, I easily got a day and a half without reaching for the charger. Even with heavy gaming, 5G usage, and streaming, it comfortably lasted a full day.
When it comes to charging, the 44W fast charging isn’t the fastest in the segment, but it gets the job done. In about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the phone goes from 0 to 100 percent, which is pretty decent for such a massive battery. While I would have loved faster charging speeds, the battery life itself more than makes up for it. If you’re someone who hates carrying a charger all the time, this phone is a lifesaver.
