Vivo appears to be gearing up for another major addition to its T4 smartphone lineup in India. The next device in focus is the Vivo T4R 5G, which is expected to be the company’s first entry in the R series. Although the brand has yet to officially confirm the launch date, reports suggest that the phone is close to making its debut in the country. Positioned between the Vivo T4x and the standard Vivo T4, the T4R 5G is tipped to fall in the mid range pricing segment and may offer a compelling blend of performance and durability.
According to early leaks, the Vivo T4R 5G will likely run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset. This could mean enhanced power efficiency and faster performance compared to the Dimensity 6300 and 7300 processors used in other T4 models. The device is also expected to ship with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, which is a rare feature in this price range. This makes it an attractive option for users who need a more rugged phone for daily use without sacrificing style or performance.
The expected pricing of the Vivo T4R 5G is said to fall between 15000 and 20000 rupees. This places it above the T4x, which starts at 13999, and below the Vivo T4, which begins at 21999. By filling this gap in the T series lineup, Vivo seems to be targeting users who want a balance of high performance and added durability without going into the premium segment.
Vivo has been quite aggressive this year with its T4 series, which already includes four models. The T4 Ultra sits at the top with a Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, a 5500mAh battery, and a triple rear camera setup with a 50 megapixel periscope lens. The T4 itself is a powerhouse with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a massive 7300mAh battery, and 90W fast charging. Meanwhile, the T4x runs on the Dimensity 7300 and includes a 6500mAh battery with a 50 megapixel camera system. The entry level T4 Lite 5G comes with a Dimensity 6300 chip and a solid 6000mAh battery.
With these devices already making a strong impression in various price brackets, the Vivo T4R 5G could be a strategic addition for users seeking rugged features along with mid range specifications. It may appeal to customers who often travel, work in tough environments, or simply want a phone that can handle a bit more exposure to the elements.
As the official launch of the Vivo T4R 5G approaches, more details about the phone’s camera configuration, display size, battery capacity, and software features are expected to surface. Based on Vivo’s track record with the T4 series, the phone is likely to come with a high resolution display, multiple camera sensors, and Android 15 right out of the box.
With the addition of the T4R, Vivo is not just expanding its lineup, it is also testing how far it can push features like water resistance and durability in the mid range space. This move could set new expectations for other smartphone makers competing in the same segment.
