Introduction
Vivo has consistently been one of the leading players in the mid-premium segment of the Indian smartphone market, which is one of the most competitive in the world. Building on this experience, the company announced the Vivo T4 Pro 5G in India on August 26, 2025, at 12 PM IST.
With an advanced chipset, a premium design, a long-lasting battery, and a decent camera setup, the device seems to be aimed at young professionals, gamers, and budding content creators who require flagship features but don’t want to pay an exorbitant amount for an ultra-premium device. The phone will be available for purchase on August 29, 2025, on Flipkart, the official Vivo India e-store, and through select offline retailers.
Pricing and Variants
The Vivo T4 Pro’s launch is notable for its unique pricing strategy. In an effort to serve various performance and storage demands, Vivo has released the smartphone in the following three variants: 8 GB + 128 GB: ₹27,9998 GB + 256 GB: ₹29,99912 GB + 256 GB: ₹31,999
Through the three models, Vivo caters to users looking for either the most affordable option or the one with the best performance. Starting at less than ₹28,000, the phone positions itself well among its competitors, such as iQOO, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, in the upper mid-range segment.
Display and Design
Regarding the display, the Vivo T4 Pro 5G features a quad-curved AMOLED screen of approximately 6.77 inches, which supports a 120 Hz refresh rate and is responsive. The curved display enhances viewing angles and gives the phone a stylish, edge-to-edge design. The supported HDR, along with high brightness levels, makes it suitable for use outdoors and for streaming content on Netflix and YouTube.
In terms of design, Vivo has opted for a pill-shaped camera island on the back, featuring an Aura Light ring that enhances low-light photography capabilities. The phone comes in two classy colours, Nitro Blue and Blaze Gold, which look stylish. More importantly, the phone features IP68 and IP69 protection, indicating it is both dust- and water-resistant. This feature is typically only available on more expensive models, so having it on the T4 Pro gives it a competitive advantage.
Performance and Battery. As with all other models in the Vivo T series, the T4 Pro is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, which is ideal for mid-to-upper-tier devices, offering enhanced multitasking, gaming, and battery efficiency. When combined with up to 12 GB of RAM, the device ensures smooth operation in gaming, productivity, and other demanding applications. Vivo appears to prioritize battery life.
The T4 Pro is equipped with an oversized 6500mAh battery, which enables it to retain a battery life superior to that of others in its class. Whether one is video streaming, taking pictures, or video gaming, the phone is designed to last a day on a single charge comfortably. Fast charging support also helps reduce wait times.
Camera System
The Vivo T4 Pro 5G is most distinguished for its dual 50 MP rear camera system, which is advanced with optical image stabilization (OIS). The primary sensor is the Sony IMX882, which is exceptional in retaining fine details and dynamic range. A 50 MP 3x periscope zoom lens is also available, featuring OIS and ideal for zoom photography.
A third auxiliary sensor enhances depth and improves performance in low-light conditions. The front of the camera features a 32 MP selfie camera, enabling our customers to capture high-quality portraits or video calls, appealing to both influencers and content creators alike. The Aura Light feature we previously saw on Vivo’s V series of smartphones (and was successful) will now allow our customers to easily take balanced nighttime portraits, since the Aura lighting helps reduce any harsh shadows or glare.
Software and User Experience
The Vivo T4 Pro 5G ships with Android 15, overlaid with Funtouch OS 15 (which includes Google’s Material You). Vivo has taken the time to care about their custom skin over the years by ensuring that animations are smooth (my biggest complaint about the software), offering customers options for privacy features, and providing them with available options to customize features and themes to suit their preferences.
The T4 Pro also includes a convenient in-display fingerprint scanner and includes gaming modes (and gaming features) to help improve performance during a gaming session. Vivo also recognizes the importance of long-term software support and has promised three years of Android updates and four years of security updates, which enhances the value of the device to our customers.
Market Positioning
As the product enters a crowded field of devices with numerous features, it will compete against many of these features. The T4 Pro’s special features include a 6500 mAh Battery, a new periscope telephoto lens, and IP69 durability. There is no other smartphone under ₹30k that offers a large battery capacity and a durability certification (many of the opposition devices have one or the other).
Vivo has a real opportunity to stake a claim in the sub-₹30k market by adding value and delivering high-quality products. Furthermore, the design language and colour finishes indicate Vivo’s intention to cater to the youth demographic, who are searching not merely for performance, but also style. With Flipkart as the leading e-commerce partner, the phone is likely to attract attention during the upcoming festive sales.
Conclusion
The Vivo T4 Pro 5G has taken yet another bold step towards Vivo’s goal of dominating the mid- and premium smartphone categories in India. Priced competitively, the phone combines a powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, a versatile dual 50 MP camera capability, a massive 6,500 mAh battery, and a quad-curved AMOLED display, all features typically found in more expensive devices.
Its IP69 durability should also appeal to the Indian consumer who desires robust devices at a reasonable price. As the Vivo T4 Pro goes on sale on August 29, 2025, it is expected to garner attention from consumers seeking a balance of performance, style, and durability in their purchase. In an overly competitive marketplace, Vivo has created a smartphone that feels premium without the premium price tag, which could potentially make it the bestseller in its category.
