Vivo T4R 5G: Under-₹15K Beast With Flagship Features

Vivo is once again gearing up to shake the Indian budget smartphone market, this time with its upcoming Vivo T4R 5G. With 5G becoming more accessible across India, users are actively looking for feature-rich phones that are affordable yet powerful. The T4R 5G could be the right fit for that sweet spot  offering premium design, a fluid display, and future-ready connectivity at an entry-level price.

The T-series from Vivo has already made a name for itself as a value-for-money performer, and the T4R seems set to continue that legacy. While official specifications are still under wraps, the brand’s usual patterns, market leaks, and teaser campaigns give us a solid idea of what to expect.

The design of the Vivo T4R 5G is likely to continue Vivo’s trend of launching slim, lightweight smartphones with flat frames and eye-catching finishes. The back panel may feature a glossy or matte gradient, available in bold youthful colors to appeal to Gen Z and young professionals.

On the front, it is expected to house a 6.72-inch Full HD+ LCD or AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and better visuals while watching videos, playing games, or browsing. The punch-hole selfie camera and minimal bezels should make the phone look modern and immersive.

Under the hood, the T4R is rumored to pack either a MediaTek Dimensity or a Snapdragon 6 Gen series chipset — both of which offer reliable performance and 5G support. It is expected to come in multiple variants with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, expandable via microSD. Whether it’s multitasking, gaming, or streaming, the T4R is built to handle daily usage with ease.

In terms of photography, the phone might feature a dual rear camera setup, led by a 50MP primary sensor. Complemented by a 2MP depth or macro lens, it will likely offer decent results for social media photos and quick snaps. The front camera is expected to be 16MP, suitable for selfies and video calls.

Battery life is expected to be a strong point of the Vivo T4R 5G. A 5,000 mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging should provide enough juice to last through a full day of usage — even with heavy screen time. Quick top-ups via fast charging also mean you won’t be tied to the charger for long.

On the software front, the Vivo T4R will likely run on Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14. This brings with it customizable UI options, security updates, and a smooth user experience with useful new features and minimal bloatware.

The Vivo T4R 5G is ideal for those looking to upgrade to a future-ready smartphone without spending ₹20,000 or more. Students, working professionals, and even older adults who want a powerful, sleek phone with modern connectivity will find it a solid option.

In terms of pricing, industry insiders expect the phone to be launched in the ₹13,999–₹15,999 price range. With 5G becoming a basic need, Vivo’s move to offer it in a stylish, budget package could attract a wide audience.

With this launch, Vivo aims to give tough competition to brands like Realme, Redmi, and Samsung in the mid-range 5G smartphone market. If the rumors hold true, the T4R 5G will combine affordability with smart design and reliable performance.

So, is the Vivo T4R 5G the perfect budget 5G phone India’s been waiting for? All signs point to yes — but only time will tell once it hits the shelves. If you're in the market for a new smartphone under ₹16,000, this one should definitely be on your radar.
