Vivo T4 Ultra Vs Vivo T3 Ultra: Latest Vivo phone upgrades over Vivo T3 Ultra

Recently Vivo introduced Vivo T4 Ultra in India as a successor to the successful Vivo T3 Ultra, which positions it as a premium mid-range smartphone. Its T4 Ultra is the first one to receive some substantial display, camera, battery, and software upgrades, promising a more polished and powerful user experience. In this article, we will compare Vivo T4 Ultra with its previous model, T3 Ultra, pointing out the main differences and their benefits to the users.

Vivo T4 Ultra Vs Vivo T3 Ultra: Display

Vivo T4 Ultra has a 6.67-inch 1.5K quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and stunning peak brightness of 5,000 nits, which is guarded by Schott glass. That is a big improvement on the 6.78-inch AMOLED display of the T3 Ultra with 1.26K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4,500 nits maximum brightness. Its display is more colorful and vivid (3200 x 1460 pixels versus 2800 x 1260 pixels) and can be used outdoors in sunny weather due to higher brightness, which is great when playing games or streaming videos and in daily usage.

Vivo T4 Ultra Vs Vivo T3 Ultra: Camera, introduction of a telephoto lens and improved optics

The T4 Ultra has a significant improvement over the Vivo T3 Ultra in the camera department. The T3 Ultra has a dual-rear camera system consisting of a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, whereas the T4 Ultra features a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 10x macro and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). The primary 50MP camera sensor also gets OIS, which enhances image stabilisation and low-light image capture. The super-wide camera on the T4 Ultra is 8MP, a bit lower resolution than the 8MP on the T3 Ultra but again, it is accompanied by the telephoto lens to make it a versatile shooting setup. Making its way to the front, the T4 Ultra swaps out the 50MP selfie camera of the T3 Ultra to a 32MP sensor, sacrificing some resolution in the name of improved optics and software improvements.

User Benefit

The new telephoto lens and OIS should translate to sharper zoomed-in photographs, improved portrait shots, and more stable videos, which should make the T4 Ultra a more serious camera phone when it comes to photography enthusiasts.

Vivo T4 Ultra Vs Vivo T3 Ultra: Performance

The T4 Ultra uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset, slightly lower clocked (3.25 GHz) than the Dimensity 9200+ used in the T3 Ultra (3.35 GHz), but with newer architecture enhancements and more power efficient. Both phones are equipped with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB or 512GB of storage, though the T4 Ultra has faster UFS 4.0 storage, unlike the T3 Ultra, which has UFS 3.1 storage.

Users can enjoy extended screen time and less downtime charging, making the T4 Ultra better suited for heavy users and gamers.
