Across the broad connectivity landscape, these two phones are largely aligned — both support 5G, dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.4, USB Type-C, and an identical sensor suite including gyroscope, GPS, compass, accelerometer, and infrared. NFC is absent on both, which rules out tap-to-pay functionality for either device. The shared feature set is competent and well-rounded for the mid-range segment.
Two meaningful differences emerge on closer inspection. The Vivo T4x 5G supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) in addition to Wi-Fi 4 and 5, while the Y31 Pro 5G tops out at Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Wi-Fi 6 brings tangible real-world benefits in congested environments — think dense apartment buildings or busy offices — offering better throughput, lower latency, and more efficient handling of multiple connected devices simultaneously. Conversely, the Vivo Y31 Pro 5G includes an external memory slot, allowing users to expand storage via a microSD card, while the T4x 5G offers no such option.
This creates a genuine trade-off. The T4x 5G is the stronger pick for users who prioritize network performance and future-proofing their wireless connectivity. The Y31 Pro 5G appeals more to those who value storage flexibility — particularly relevant given that even its larger 256GB base storage can fill up with media over time. Neither advantage cancels out the other cleanly, but for most users, Wi-Fi 6 support on the T4x 5G is arguably the more broadly useful differentiator in day-to-day use.
