Vivo just surprised the mobile phone enthusiasts with their latest budget model launch, the Vivo T4 Lite. However, this space being highly competitive, brands are eyeing a fair share of the market and are not behind in offering value for money propositions. If you’re planning to buy a budget-friendly 5G smartphone, chances are the Vivo T4 Lite 5G and Oppo K13x 5G are already on your list. Both look good, pack decent features, and come with big batteries — just what most people want these days. But which one gives you more for your money? Let’s break things down and see how they compare in performance, software, camera, battery life, and overall design.
Software and performance
Both the Vivo T4 Lite and Oppo K13x run on the latest Android 15, but they look and feel slightly different. Vivo comes with Funtouch OS 15, while Oppo brings in ColorOS 15. Both are smooth and user-friendly, but ColorOS feels a bit more refined and packed with extra features.
When it comes to performance, both phones give you up to 8GB RAM, while the Vivo offers 256GB storage, the Oppo K13x offers up to 128 GB of storage. But Oppo has a small advantage here as it uses UFS 2.2 storage, which is faster than standard storage types. That means apps open quicker, and file transfers don’t take forever. And yes, both phones let you expand storage with a microSD card, up to 1TB.
Battery and charging
Battery life is solid on both, you get a big 6000mAh battery either way. But the difference shows up when it’s time to charge. Oppo K13x supports 45W fast charging, while Vivo sticks with just 15W. So if you’re always in a hurry, Oppo will top up way faster and save you time.
Cameras
On the back, both phones give you a 50MP main camera with a 2MP secondary sensor. But the selfie game is where Oppo pulls ahead. The K13x has an 8MP front camera, while Vivo offers just 5MP. So if you love clicking selfies or spend a lot of time on video calls, Oppo will give you better results.
Design and weight
Vivo is a bit taller and heavier at around 202 grams. Oppo, on the other hand, is lighter at 194 grams and also slightly slimmer. If you’re someone who uses their phone a lot during the day, Oppo might feel more comfortable in hand.
Connectivity
No surprises here. Both phones offer all the essential features like 5G, dual 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi, GPS, and a USB Type C port. So when it comes to network support and connectivity, both devices are equally reliable.
