Vivo T4x 5G vs Realme P3 5G: Best 5G Phone Under Rs 15000?

The Rs 15,000 5G segment in India has never been this competitive. Two phones dominate every discussion right now — the Vivo T4x 5G and the Realme P3 5G. Both launched in March 2025, both pack 50MP cameras and 120Hz displays, and both hover around the Rs 14,000–15,000 mark. So which one deserves your money in 2026? Let’s compare them head to head.

Price and Variants

The Vivo T4x 5G starts at Rs 13,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, with an 8GB + 128GB option around Rs 14,999. The Realme P3 5G sits slightly higher at Rs 14,999–15,999 for the base 6GB + 128GB model. Vivo wins on price — you get essentially the same core hardware for roughly Rs 1,000 less.

Display: AMOLED Wins Here

This is the biggest real-world difference between the two phones. The Realme P3 5G sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate — deeper blacks, punchier colours, and better sunlight readability. The Vivo T4x 5G uses a 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS LCD at 120Hz, which is smooth but can’t match the AMOLED’s contrast. If you watch a lot of videos on your phone, the Realme’s display is the clear winner.

Performance: Two Strong Chips

Under the hood, the Vivo T4x 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, while the Realme P3 5G uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. In everyday use — scrolling, multitasking, social media — both feel equally smooth. For gaming, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 has a slight edge in sustained performance and efficiency, though the Dimensity 7300 is no slouch either. Both ship with 6GB/8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, so storage speeds are identical.

Camera: Selfie Lovers, Take Note

Both phones carry a 50MP main rear camera with a 2MP depth helper — daylight photos from either are clean and detailed for this price range. The difference shows up on the front: the Realme P3 5G has a 16MP selfie camera, double the Vivo T4x 5G’s 8MP front shooter. For video calls and selfies, Realme takes this round comfortably.

Battery and Charging: Vivo’s Trump Card

The Vivo T4x 5G packs a massive 6,500mAh battery with 44W fast charging — easily two days of moderate use, and comfortably a full heavy day. The Realme P3 5G has a smaller 6,000mAh cell with 45W charging. The wattage difference is negligible, but the 500mAh capacity gap means Vivo lasts noticeably longer. Both phones include the charger in the box.

Software and Build

Both phones launched on Android 15 — the Vivo with Funtouch OS and the Realme with Realme UI. Realme UI is generally cleaner with fewer pre-installed apps, which budget buyers tend to prefer. On build quality, the Realme P3 5G is slimmer at 7.97mm and 194g, compared to the Vivo’s 8.19mm and 208g — the Realme feels noticeably more premium in hand.

Verdict: Which Should You Buy?

Pick the Realme P3 5G if you care about the display, selfies, and a slimmer, lighter phone — it’s the better all-rounder for multimedia. Pick the Vivo T4x 5G if battery life is your top priority and you want to save around Rs 1,000. Either way, both are among the best 5G phones under Rs 15,000 you can buy in India in 2026.
