Realme P4 Pro 5G VS Vivo T4R

Both phones share a slim, non-rugged, non-folding slab form factor, but the Vivo T4R comes out noticeably more refined in hand. At 183.5 g versus the Realme P4 Pro's 189 g, and at 7.4 mm thick compared to 7.7 mm, the T4R is both lighter and slimmer. The difference in volume tells the same story: the T4R displaces roughly 92.7 cm³ against the P4 Pro's 95.2 cm³. While none of these gaps are dramatic in isolation, together they add up to a device that feels more pocketable and less tiring during extended one-handed use.

The most meaningful differentiator in this group is water protection. The Realme P4 Pro carries an IP66 rating, which means it can withstand powerful water jets but is not rated for submersion. The Vivo T4R steps up to IP68, meaning it is rated for full immersion in fresh water — typically up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes. In practical terms, IP68 is a significantly stronger safety net: accidental drops in a sink, puddle, or toilet are survivable, whereas IP66 only guards against splashes and rain.

Overall, the Vivo T4R holds a clear edge in this group. It is lighter, marginally thinner, and — most importantly — offers superior water protection with its IP68 rating. The Realme P4 Pro's IP66 is respectable, but for users who prioritize peace of mind around liquids or a slightly more comfortable carry, the T4R is the stronger choice on design alone.

Both screens are OLED/AMOLED panels, so they share the fundamental advantages of that technology — deep blacks, vibrant colors, and high contrast. The size difference is negligible (6.8″ vs 6.77″), but where the Realme P4 Pro genuinely pulls ahead is in sharpness. Its 453 ppi pixel density, driven by a 1280 x 2800 px resolution, is a meaningful step above the Vivo T4R's 388 ppi at 1080 x 2392 px. In practice, text is crisper, fine detail in photos is more defined, and the overall image feels more polished — a difference that becomes particularly apparent on a screen this size.

The refresh rate gap — 144Hz on the P4 Pro versus 120Hz on the T4R — is less consequential in daily use, as most people cannot reliably distinguish between the two. More significant is the P4 Pro's support for HDR10+, which enables dynamic tone-mapping for compatible streaming content, delivering more accurate brightness and color across individual scenes. The T4R supports neither HDR10 nor HDR10+, meaning it misses out on this enhanced viewing experience entirely. The P4 Pro also features branded damage-resistant glass, adding a layer of scratch and impact protection that the T4R lacks.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G wins this group decisively. Its higher resolution, superior pixel density, HDR10+ support, and protective glass give it a comprehensive advantage across sharpness, content quality, and durability — making it the stronger choice for anyone who values screen performance.

The silicon choice is the most defining factor here. The Realme P4 Pro 5G runs on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which features a more aggressive CPU cluster — with a prime core at 2.8 GHz alongside multiple performance and efficiency cores — compared to the Vivo T4R's Dimensity 7400, whose top cores reach 2.6 GHz. The real-world gap becomes even clearer in memory throughput: the P4 Pro's maximum memory bandwidth of 33.6 GB/s significantly outpaces the T4R's 25.6 GB/s, meaning the P4 Pro can feed data to its CPU and GPU substantially faster, which translates to snappier multitasking and better sustained performance under load.

The T4R counters with a higher RAM operating speed of 6400 MHz versus the P4 Pro's 4200 MHz, which sounds impressive but does not offset the overall bandwidth disadvantage — bandwidth is ultimately what determines how much data moves per second, and the P4 Pro leads there. On storage, the gap is stark: 512 GB on the P4 Pro versus 256 GB on the T4R, both sharing 12 GB of RAM. For users who download large games, store media locally, or avoid cloud storage, that doubling of space is a practical, everyday advantage.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G wins this group clearly. Its stronger chipset, higher memory bandwidth, and doubled internal storage make it the more capable performer across both sustained workloads and long-term usability, with the T4R's RAM speed advantage being too narrow to tip the scales.

On paper, the rear camera systems look nearly identical — both sport a 50 + 2 MP dual-lens setup with OIS, phase-detection autofocus, and the same secondary lens aperture of f/1.8. The first meaningful split appears on the primary lens: the Realme P4 Pro 5G opens to f/2.2 versus the Vivo T4R's f/2.4. A wider aperture admits more light, which matters most in dim conditions — the P4 Pro's main lens has a tangible low-light advantage in scenes where every bit of captured light counts.

Video is where the gap becomes hard to ignore. The P4 Pro records 4K at 60 fps, while the T4R caps out at 4K 30 fps. That doubled frame rate means smoother footage for fast-moving subjects — sports, pets, kids — and more flexibility in post-processing, such as creating slow-motion clips from 4K material. For anyone who treats their phone as a serious video tool, this is a significant practical difference. On the selfie side, the P4 Pro's 50 MP front camera versus the T4R's 32 MP offers more detail and greater cropping headroom, with a fractionally wider aperture (f/2.4 vs f/2.45) to marginally aid low-light selfies.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G takes this group. Its wider primary aperture, superior selfie resolution, and — most decisively — 4K 60fps video capability give it a consistent edge across the scenarios that differentiate camera systems at this tier. The T4R is no slouch given the shared feature set, but it cannot match the P4 Pro's ceiling.

This is a rare case of a complete deadlock. Both the Realme P4 Pro 5G and the Vivo T4R run Android 15 and share an identical feature set across every single spec in this group — from privacy controls like location and camera/microphone permissions, to usability features like split-screen, Picture-in-Picture, dynamic theming, and on-device machine learning. There is no row in this data where one product differs from the other.

The shared highlights are worth noting for buyers coming from older devices or competing platforms: both phones offer battery health monitoring, offline voice recognition, app offloading, and a robust set of notification controls — a well-rounded Android 15 experience that covers the bases most users care about. Neither device gets direct OS updates, meaning both will receive software upgrades routed through their respective manufacturers, which can introduce delays relative to stock Android devices.

This group is an absolute tie. Based strictly on the provided specs, no advantage can be awarded to either product — every capability and limitation is shared equally. Buyers should look to other specification groups to differentiate between these two devices.

The battery gap between these two phones is substantial. The Realme P4 Pro 5G packs a 7000 mAh cell — a genuinely large capacity that places it firmly in power-user territory — while the Vivo T4R carries a 5700 mAh battery. That 1300 mAh difference is not trivial: it represents roughly 23% more stored energy, which in real-world use translates to meaningfully longer endurance between charges, whether that is an extra few hours of screen-on time or more confidence heading into a long day without a charger.

Charging speed tells a more nuanced story. The P4 Pro supports 80W fast charging versus the T4R's 44W, meaning the P4 Pro can replenish its much larger battery at nearly double the rate. Despite having a significantly bigger cell to fill, the P4 Pro is likely to reach a full charge in comparable or shorter time than the T4R — a combination that is genuinely hard to fault. Neither phone supports wireless charging, so both users are tethered to a cable regardless.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G wins this group convincingly. A larger battery and faster charging together form the strongest possible battery package in this category — users get both longer endurance and quicker top-ups, with the T4R unable to compete on either front.

For wired audio, both phones arrive at the same answer: no 3.5mm headphone jack, meaning users of either device must rely on Bluetooth or a USB-C adapter. That shared limitation pushes wireless codec support into the spotlight — and here the two phones diverge sharply. The Realme P4 Pro 5G supports both aptX and LDAC, while the Vivo T4R supports neither.

That distinction carries real weight for wireless audio enthusiasts. LDAC, in particular, is Sony's high-resolution Bluetooth codec capable of transmitting up to three times more data than standard SBC, preserving significantly more audio detail when paired with a compatible LDAC headphone or speaker. aptX offers lower-latency, higher-quality transmission over standard Bluetooth as well. The T4R's absence of both codecs means it is limited to SBC or AAC for wireless audio, which is adequate for casual listening but a noticeable step down for anyone who has invested in quality wireless headphones that support these formats.

Speaker output is a draw — both phones offer stereo speakers with no further differentiating data provided. But on wireless audio quality, the Realme P4 Pro 5G wins this group clearly, with its LDAC and aptX support making it the obvious choice for users who prioritize high-fidelity Bluetooth listening.

Across the broad sweep of connectivity specs, these two phones are remarkably well-matched. Both support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, dual SIM, USB Type-C, and the same suite of sensors including GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. For the vast majority of connectivity use cases — network speed, wireless range, location accuracy, peripheral pairing — users of either phone will have an equivalent experience.

The single differentiator in this entire group is NFC, which the Realme P4 Pro 5G has and the Vivo T4R lacks. While easy to overlook as a bullet point, NFC is the backbone of contactless payments (Google Pay, bank apps), rapid Bluetooth pairing with compatible accessories, and transit card emulation in supported regions. For users who regularly tap to pay or use NFC-enabled transit systems, its absence on the T4R is a genuine daily inconvenience rather than a theoretical shortcoming.

Given how evenly matched everything else is, NFC alone hands the edge to the Realme P4 Pro 5G in this group. It is a narrow but meaningful win — one feature that, depending on how central contactless payments are to a buyer's routine, could be a deciding factor in its own right.

The Miscellaneous group offers very little to analyze — every spec listed here is identical between the Realme P4 Pro 5G and the Vivo T4R. Both have a video light, and neither features a sapphire glass display, curved screen, or e-paper display. There are no differentiators to speak of.

This is a clear tie. Buyers should weigh the other specification groups — particularly Design, Display, Performance, and Battery — where meaningful differences between these two phones actually exist.
