The smartphone scene just got a little more interesting. vivo, a popular brand, has added a tough new player to its T4 series: the vivo T4R. This phone isn’t just about good looks; it promises to handle daily bumps and splashes with ease.
The T4R features a big 6.77-inch AMOLED screen. Its edges curve smoothly on all four sides. You get sharp Full HD+ visuals and a super smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. This means the screen updates 120 times per second, making everything feel fluid. Plus, it shines bright with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Unlocking your phone is simple with the in-display fingerprint sensor. The screen also gets extra protection from Diamond Shield Glass. This special glass was made with Schott, a top German ceramic glass manufacturer.
Under the hood, the T4R packs a punch with MediaTek’s new mid-range Dimensity 7400 chipset. MediaTek launched this chip in February 2025. It’s built on efficient 4nm technology and can reach speeds up to 2.6 GHz. The phone comes with speedy LPDDR4X RAM, offering up to 12 GB. For your apps and files, it has UFS 2.2 storage, with capacities up to 256 GB. The T4R runs Funtouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15. vivo promises two years of software upgrades and three years of security patch updates.
Picture taking is a big part of the T4R experience. It features a three-camera setup on the back.
- The main camera is 50 megapixels. It uses a Sony IMX882 sensor for clear shots. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) keeps your photos steady. This camera also supports 4K video recording.
- There’s a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It helps you take great portrait photos with blurred backgrounds, known as Bokeh effect.
- For your selfies, there’s a 32-megapixel front camera. It also lets you record videos in crisp 4K quality.
Beyond standard shots, this smartphone can even take photos underwater. It also offers portrait shots with multiple focus distances, giving you more creative control.
Powering the T4R is a large 5,700 mAh battery. When you need to charge up, 44W fast charging gets you going quickly through its USB-C port. A neat feature is bypass charging. This lets the phone draw power directly from the adapter, saving battery health during long gaming sessions. The T4R also includes dual stereo speakers for a richer sound. Despite all these features, the phone is quite slim at 7.3 mm thin and weighs only 183.5 grams.
The T4R isn’t just slender; it’s built to last. It comes with several tough certifications.
- IP68 dust and water resistance means it can handle being in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.
- It also has IP69 dust and water resistance. This protects the device against high-pressure water sprays at temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius.
- For extreme conditions, it meets MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards. This makes it suitable for harsh environments like very hot or cold temperatures, rain, sand, and strong vibrations.
vivo plans to start selling the T4R in India on August 5, 2025. You can find it on Flipkart and vivo India’s own online store. It will be available in two stylish colors: Arctic White and Twilight Blue.
