Vivo T4x: Is This the Best Smartphone Under Your Budget?

Hey there! Looking for a new phone that won’t empty your wallet? You’re not alone. With prices soaring, finding a reliable smartphone under ₹12,000 feels like a treasure hunt. Enter the Vivo T4x—launched last month and already buzzing in budget circles. I tested it for two weeks. Here’s my honest take.

First Impressions: Simple & Solid

Right out of the box, the Vivo T4x feels light (just 190g!) and comfy to hold. I got the “Starry Blue” model—it’s shiny but not slippery. The plastic back won’t win luxury points, but hey, it survived my clumsy drops onto the kitchen tiles. No cracks! The 6.56-inch screen is big enough for videos and memes, though colors look a tad muted outdoors.

Battery Life: The Superstar

Wow. This is where the T4x shines. The 6000mAh battery lasted me two full days with:

• 4 hours of TikTok/YouTube daily

• Casual gaming (think Subway Surfers)

• Texts and calls
  Even on busy days, I never panicked about charging. It supports 18W fast charging (takes 2 hours from 0–100%). Perfect for travelers or forgetful chargers like me!

Performance: Smooth Enough?

Powered by a MediaTek Helio G88 chip and 6GB RAM, the T4x handles basics well:

• Social media: Instagram, WhatsApp—no lag.

• Light gaming: Runs Candy Crush smoothly.

• Multitasking: Switching between 3–4 apps is fine.
  But don’t expect heavy gaming. BGMI stutters on medium settings. For students or casual users? It’s plenty.

Camera: Daylight Hero

The 50MP main camera surprised me! In good light, photos look crisp—food pics, park selfies, even my chaotic desk. Check this comparison:

Night shots need steady hands (or a tripod). Video tops out at 1080p—fine for reels, not vlogs.

Software & Extras

Runs Funtouch OS 14 (based on Android 15). Simple, clean, but bloatware alert! Uninstall apps like “Hot Apps” and “Hot Games” ASAP. Side-mounted fingerprint sensor works fast, and the 3.5mm headphone jack is a bonus! Storage starts at 128GB (expandable via microSD).

Should You Buy It? My Final Verdict

Yes, if you:

• Need insane battery life

• Want a lag-free experience for daily tasks

• Prioritize value over flagship cameras

Skip if you:

• Game heavily (go for Poco or iQOO instead)

• Demand stunning night photography

Priced at ₹11,999, the Vivo T4x is a no-brainer for budget seekers. It’s not flashy, but it’s dependable—like that trusty water bottle you carry everywhere. In a market flooded with overpriced gadgets, this phone delivers where it counts.
