Vivo Stealthily Launches T4 5G : Vivo has quietly unveiled its latest mid-range contender, the T4 5G, in India—and it’s packing some serious specs for the price. With a 6500mAh battery, 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage, this smartphone aims to be an all-rounder for gamers, multitaskers, and heavy users alike. Available exclusively on Flipkart with launch discounts, the T4 5G could be one of the best value-for-money options under ₹20,000. Let’s break down everything it offers.
A Surprise Launch with Immediate Availability
In contrast to the average smartphone launch, which tends to be preceded by weeks of build-up, the T4 5G made its first appearance out of nowhere on July 4, 2025. It is already available on Flipkart, as well as Vivo’s own store, which means buyers will not have to wait for the device to go on sale. In addition, early adopters can avail instant bank discounts and exchange offers.
Aggressive Pricing for a Loaded Spec Sheet
Vivo has priced the T4 5G very competitively, making 5G and premium features accessible at a budget-friendly range:
- ₹15,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant
- ₹17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model
- ₹19,999 for the top-end 12GB + 256GB version
HDFC, SBI, and Flipkart Axis Bank users can shave off an extra ₹1,000, while exchange deals sweeten the pot with up to ₹1,500 off.
Performance That Doesn’t Compromise
The performance is handled by a speedy Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, which promises smooth 5G connectivity and power saving operation. Teaming up with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, the phone smoothly multitasks and games with ease. It is based on Android 14 with Funtouch OS 15 for a clean and installable experience.
A Display That Stands Out
The T4 5G touts a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen as one of its chief selling points. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, with 1300 nits peak brightness, which means everything you scroll on the device will boast vibrant colors — and because of the high refresh rate, very smooth scrolling — whether gaming, streaming or just browsing It’s also available in 5 colors to pick from That means there’s a color for everyone.
Camera Capabilities for Everyday Photography
Although not a premium-level snapper, the 64MP primary camera (aided by a 2MP depth sensor) copes admirably in both daylight and low light. The 16Mp front camera is good and works with AI enhancements for selfies as well as bringing in features such as 4K recording and Super Night Mode. (Sidenote: In early user reviews, it looks like it’s one of the better camera setups available in this price point… just saying.
Days Lasting Battery Life, Not Hours
The 6500mAh battery is also a big plus, easily offering one and a half days of battery life on a single charge. And when you need to charge, fast 44W fast charging can bring the phone up to 50% from zero in half an hour.
How It Compares to the Competition
So, up against its rivals such as the Redmi Note 14, the Vivo T4 5G gives a tough fight with a superior AMOLED display, a bigger battery and more RAM. The T4, though, has a more premium build and better screen, so the higher price might not be a deal-breaker for most shoppers.
Flipkart Deals Make It Even More Tempting
Flipkart is offering:
- ₹1,000 instant discount for HDFC/SBI users
- No-cost EMI options (starting at ₹2,666/month)
- Extra ₹1,500 off with exchange
- Free 6-month screen protection
Final Thoughts: Who Should Buy It?
If you want a long-lasting, smooth-performing 5G phone under ₹20,000, the Vivo T4 5G is a compelling choice. It’s ideal for:
- Gamers (thanks to the 120Hz AMOLED display and Snapdragon chip)
- Battery-conscious users (6500mAh is a rarity at this price)
- Those who prefer premium design (glass back, sleek finish)
