Poco M7 Plus vs Vivo T4X: Which budget 5G phone should you pick?
The Poco M7 Plus and Vivo T4X both launched in the same price bracket of ₹13,999 for the 6GB/128GB variant, making them strong contenders in the budget 5G smartphone segment. While they look similar on paper, closer inspection reveals key differences. Here’s a comparison in five major areas.
Display and design The Poco M7 Plus comes with a larger 6.9-inch IPS display with 2340x1080 resolution, 374 PPI, and a 144Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Vivo T4X offers a slightly smaller 6.72-inch LCD with 2408x1080 resolution, sharper 393 PPI, and a 120Hz refresh rate. This means Poco gives you more screen real estate and smoother animations, while Vivo offers higher pixel density and better clarity. Adding to that, the Vivo T4X is lighter (204g vs 217g) and slimmer (8.09mm vs 8.4mm), making it more comfortable to hold.
2/6
Performance and software Poco uses the Snapdragon 6s Gen3 chipset with a 2.3 GHz octa-core CPU, while Vivo opts for MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300, clocked at 2.5 GHz. The slight clock speed advantage goes to Vivo, though in real-world usage, both chips should handle daily tasks, multitasking, and light gaming without issue. Both phones run Android 15 out of the box, but software experience differs: Poco uses HyperOS 2, while Vivo offers Funtouch OS 15. Choosing here depends on whether you prefer Xiaomi’s approach with customization or Vivo’s slightly more polished UI.
3/6
Battery and charging The Poco M7 Plus packs a massive 7000 mAh battery, one of the biggest in the segment, paired with 33W fast charging. Vivo T4X balances a smaller 6500 mAh cell with faster 44W charging. For heavy users who prioritize endurance, Poco has the upper hand with longer backup, but Vivo is faster to top up when charging speed matters.
4/6
Camera capabilities Both phones feature a 50MP primary rear camera and an 8MP selfie shooter. However, Vivo adds an extra 2MP secondary lens, which can be used for depth or macro shots, giving it slightly more versatility. Poco, in some sources, is also listed with a macro option, but it’s not consistently highlighted. Camera results at this price point are expected to be comparable, with good daylight shots but average performance in low light.
Connectivity and extras On the connectivity front, both support 5G, IR blaster, and military-grade durability with IP64 rating. Vivo has an edge with newer Bluetooth, WiFi 6 support, and higher peak brightness of 1050 nits, making outdoor visibility better. Poco, meanwhile, emphasizes features like Circle to Search and Gorilla Glass 3 for added durability.
6/6
Verdict At the same price, the Poco M7 Plus focuses on big battery and larger display, while the Vivo T4X offers slimmer design, faster charging, and newer connectivity standards. If endurance and screen size are your top priorities, Poco is the better choice. But if you value portability, brightness, and slightly newer hardware features, Vivo edges ahead.
