Realme P4 Pro 5G VS Vivo T4 Pro

The most meaningful difference in this group comes down to water protection. The Vivo T4 Pro carries an IP68 rating, which means it is certified to withstand continuous submersion in water — typically up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. The Realme P4 Pro 5G is rated IP66, which only guarantees protection against powerful water jets and heavy rain. In practice, this means the T4 Pro can survive an accidental drop in a sink or pool, while the P4 Pro cannot — a real and relevant distinction for everyday use.

In terms of physical form factor, the two phones are remarkably close. The P4 Pro is marginally lighter at 189 g versus 192 g, and slightly thicker at 7.7 mm compared to the T4 Pro's 7.5 mm. Neither gap is perceptible in daily handling. Overall volume is also nearly identical, so neither phone will feel meaningfully more compact or pocketable than the other.

Neither device has a rugged build or a foldable form factor, so both target the same mainstream audience. However, the Vivo T4 Pro holds a clear edge in this group purely on the strength of its superior IP68 waterproofing — a tangible, real-world advantage that the Realme P4 Pro's IP66 rating simply cannot match.

Both phones use OLED/AMOLED panels, so the fundamentals — deep blacks, vibrant colors, and solid contrast — are shared. Where they diverge meaningfully is in sharpness and smoothness. The Realme P4 Pro 5G packs a 1280 x 2800 px resolution at 453 ppi, versus the Vivo T4 Pro's 1080 x 2392 px at 388 ppi. That 65 ppi gap is genuinely visible: text appears crisper, fine UI details are sharper, and high-resolution content looks more refined on the P4 Pro. Similarly, its 144Hz refresh rate edges out the T4 Pro's 120Hz, resulting in slightly smoother scrolling and more fluid animations — a difference most users will notice when switching between the two.

Another differentiator worth noting is the Always-On Display feature, present on the Realme P4 Pro 5G but absent on the Vivo T4 Pro. This allows glanceable information — time, notifications — without waking the full screen, which is a convenience many users come to rely on. On the shared side, both devices support HDR10+ and feature branded damage-resistant glass, so streaming quality and durability are on equal footing.

Across every meaningful display metric — resolution, pixel density, refresh rate, and feature set — the Realme P4 Pro 5G holds a clear advantage. The Vivo T4 Pro offers a competent screen, but the P4 Pro's sharper panel and higher refresh rate make it the stronger choice for users who prioritize display quality.

At the core of both phones sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, built on a 4 nm process — and every meaningful performance spec that follows from it is identical across the two devices. CPU configuration, GPU clock speed, RAM speed, memory bandwidth, and TDP are a perfect match. With 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 4200 MHz on both sides, day-to-day multitasking, app switching, and gaming performance will be indistinguishable in real-world use.

The one area where the two part ways is internal storage. The Realme P4 Pro 5G ships with 512 GB, while the Vivo T4 Pro offers 256 GB. For users who store large video libraries, shoot in high-res formats, or download many games, that extra headroom on the P4 Pro is a practical benefit that compounds over time — storage tends to fill up faster than most users anticipate.

Since every compute-level metric is shared, raw performance is a dead heat between these two. The only differentiator in this group is storage capacity, where the Realme P4 Pro 5G has a clear edge, offering twice the onboard space without any trade-off in processing power.

The rear camera systems tell two different stories. The Vivo T4 Pro fields a triple-lens setup (50 & 50 & 2 MP) with a dedicated 3x optical zoom lens, making it the more versatile shooter for users who frequently capture subjects at a distance. Optical zoom preserves image quality in a way digital zoom cannot, and having a full 50 MP telephoto sensor rather than a token zoom module is a meaningful real-world advantage. The Realme P4 Pro 5G counters with a dual-lens system where the second lens is only 2 MP — essentially a depth sensor — so it lacks any genuine zoom capability.

Where the P4 Pro fights back is in video and selfies. Its main camera records at 4K @ 60 fps, compared to the T4 Pro's 4K @ 30 fps ceiling. For video creators, 60 fps at 4K means smoother motion and more flexibility in post-production. On the front, the P4 Pro's 50 MP selfie camera significantly outresolves the T4 Pro's 32 MP — a notable gap for users who prioritize portrait shots or video calls.

This group has no single winner — it depends on use case. The Vivo T4 Pro holds a clear edge for photography versatility thanks to its triple-camera array and optical zoom. But the Realme P4 Pro 5G is the stronger choice for video shooters and selfie-focused users, offering higher frame rates at 4K and a much higher-resolution front camera.

Rarely does a spec group produce such a definitive result: every single data point in this category is identical between the two phones. Both run Android 15, support the same privacy controls — including location, camera, and microphone permissions — and share the same productivity features such as split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, and full-page screenshots. Neither device receives direct OS updates from Google, and neither supports Wi-Fi password sharing or focus modes.

The feature set on offer is genuinely well-rounded for Android 15. On-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, dynamic theming, and Live Text are all present on both devices, meaning users get a modern, capable software experience regardless of which phone they choose. The shared absence of direct OS updates is worth noting — both rely on their respective manufacturers for software rollouts — but this applies equally and does not differentiate the two.

This group is a complete tie. There is no software feature or OS-level capability in the provided data that gives either the Realme P4 Pro 5G or the Vivo T4 Pro any advantage over the other. The decision between them will have to rest entirely on the hardware differences covered in other groups.

Battery capacity is where the Realme P4 Pro 5G makes a strong statement. Its 7000 mAh cell is a notably large pack — 500 mAh more than the Vivo T4 Pro's already-generous 6500 mAh. While neither phone will struggle to last a full day, that extra capacity translates to a meaningful buffer for heavy users: longer streaming sessions, more gaming headroom, or simply more confidence when heading out without a charger. Both sit well above the mainstream 5000 mAh range, so endurance is a strength of this entire lineup.

The charging picture flips the advantage. The Vivo T4 Pro supports 90W fast charging versus the P4 Pro's 80W, meaning it can replenish its slightly smaller battery at a faster rate. The practical gap between 80W and 90W is modest in absolute time, but for users who rely on short top-up charges throughout the day, the T4 Pro will edge ahead. Notably, both phones ship with a charger in the box, and neither supports wireless or reverse wireless charging.

On balance, the Realme P4 Pro 5G holds the edge in this group for users who prioritize maximum battery life, while the Vivo T4 Pro is the better fit for those who prioritize faster recharging. Since the capacity advantage of the P4 Pro is the larger real-world differentiator for most use cases, it takes the overall nod here — but the margin is genuinely narrow.

For wired audio, both phones arrive at the same answer: no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so Bluetooth or USB-C are the only options. Stereo speakers are present on both as well, meaning spatial sound for media playback is on equal footing out of the box. The real divergence appears the moment you pair wireless headphones.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G supports both aptX and LDAC, while the Vivo T4 Pro supports neither. This is a meaningful gap for anyone who owns quality Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. LDAC in particular is Sony's high-resolution audio codec, capable of transmitting up to three times more data than standard Bluetooth audio — the difference is audible on good hardware. aptX provides a similar jump over standard SBC. Without these codecs, the T4 Pro is limited to compressed Bluetooth audio regardless of how capable the headphones on the other end are.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G has a clear advantage in this group. For casual listeners using the built-in speakers, the two phones are equivalent — but for anyone who listens through wireless headphones, the P4 Pro's LDAC and aptX support unlocks a noticeably higher audio quality ceiling that the Vivo T4 Pro simply cannot match.

Across the core connectivity stack, these two phones are essentially identical. Both support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC — covering all the bases a modern smartphone user would expect. Dual SIM, USB Type-C, a fingerprint scanner, GPS with Galileo support, and the standard motion sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer, compass) are shared across the board. USB 2.0 speeds apply to both, so neither has an edge for wired data transfer.

The only differentiator in this entire group is the infrared sensor on the Vivo T4 Pro, which the Realme P4 Pro 5G lacks. An IR blaster lets the phone act as a universal remote for TVs, air conditioners, and other home appliances — a niche but genuinely useful feature for users who want to consolidate their remote controls. It adds no bulk and requires no pairing, making it a convenient inclusion.

Given how closely matched the two phones are here, the Vivo T4 Pro holds a narrow edge in this group solely due to its infrared sensor. For the majority of users the difference won't be a deciding factor, but for anyone who values smart home or appliance control from their phone, it is a meaningful addition that the P4 Pro simply does not offer.

The Miscellaneous group offers no differentiation between these two phones. Both have a video light, and neither features a sapphire glass display, a curved display, or an e-paper display. Every data point in this category lands identically.

This group is a complete tie. None of the specs here provide any basis for preferring one device over the other, and buyers should weigh their decision entirely on the more substantive differences found in other specification groups.
