The post Vivo launches Image Awards with X200 Pro prize as Vivo T4 Pro goes on sale appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is all set to launch its next T4-series phone in India. Dubbed the Vivo T4 Pro, the new phone is scheduled to go official on Aug. 26. Here’s a look at the details that the brand has confirmed so far about the device.

Vivo T4 Pro design

Starting with design, the Vivo T4 Pro features a quad-curved display on the front, and its back panel has a camera island similar to the Vivo V60 and X200 FE. A major difference, however, is the absence of the Zeiss logo, suggesting that this phone is more performance-focused than photography-centric.

Nevertheless, the phone comes with a periscope telephoto camera, the only one to offer this feature in its price segment.

Vivo T4 Pro key specifications

The Vivo T4 Pro has an FHD+ AMOLED panel on the front and has a slim profile of 7.53mm. For clearer zoomed shots, the device is equipped with a Sony IM882 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Like the Vivo V60, the T4 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, which is a noteworthy upgrade considering the T3 Pro debuted with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 last year. It will be joined by a massive 6,500mAh battery. Rumors surrounding the device claim that it may support 90W fast charging.

Vivo T4 Pro price in India

The Vivo T4 Pro will be positioned lower than the Vivo T4 Ultra in the country. It will be priced between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000. When it comes to color options, it will be sold in two shades such as blue and gold. This phone is expected to rival the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4-powered Realme P4 Pro, which recently debuted in India.

A report that surfaced yesterday revealed that Vivo will soon announce a new T4-series phone called the Vivo T4 Pro in India. It appears that the device’s launch is close at hand, as the brand has started teasing its arrival on Flipkart. As can be seen below, the brand has revealed the rear design of the phone.

Vivo T4 Pro officially teased

The Vivo T4 Pro’s camera module resembles what’s available on the Vivo V60 and X200 FE. However, one noticeable difference is that the camera island does not have the ZEISS branding. The official promo says that the T4 Pro will offer a flagship-level 3x periscope zoom experience, thereby officially confirming that the device is equipped with a periscope telephoto camera.

It is likely that the brand will use the entire next week to tease and reveal the key features of the Vivo T4 Pro and probably unveil it in the last week of August. The T4 Pro will be positioned lower than the Vivo T4 Ultra, which was priced at Rs 37,999 at launch. Therefore, the Pro edition could be priced at around Rs 30,000.

Vivo T4 Pro specifications (rumored)

According to reports, the Vivo T4 Pro could be equipped with a quad-curved AMOLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it may feature a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip and a 6,500mAh battery with 90W charging.

The device is expected to run on Android 15 layered with FunTouch OS 15. Its rear camera setup may include a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with OIS support. It is expected to debut in two shades: Nitro Blue and Blaze Gold.
