Vivo has launched a new T-series smartphone in India that joins the growing trend of phones that feature massive 7,000 mAh batteries. The new Vivo T4 5G comes with a monster 7,300mAh battery. It joins the recently launched iQOO Z10 smartphone, which also comes with a 7,300mAh battery. The Oppo K13 5G, which launched on Monday, also follows the trend with a 7,000mAh battery. And in the coming months, there are more smartphones that are expected to follow this trend. The rumoured Poco F7 – or possibly its premium version, the Poco F7 Pro – is also expected to come with an over 7,000mAh battery. So are the Realme GT7 and OnePlus Nord CE 5. advertisementFor those who don't know, these massive batteries are squeezed into these sleek phones thanks to the silicon carbon battery technology. The technology allows phone makers to fit larger batteries into slim devices. It replaces some graphite with silicon, which stores more energy in less space. This means phones can have batteries with higher capacity without getting thicker, helping deliver longer battery life while keeping designs sleek and lightweight.But what does a phone featuring a 7,300mAh battery really mean? We would know about the actual performance of the phone once we test it. However, Vivo claims that the Vivo T4 5G can charge from 0 to 50 per cent in 33 minutes and 100 per cent in 65 minutes. According to Vivo, the phone can offer up to '52 hours of talk time, 87 hours of music playback, 35 hours of video streaming, and 15 hours of non-stop gaming'. Which, by estimate, says that your phone can easily last you a day and a half, regardless of how heavy a user you are. But again, we can only say more on this once we have thoroughly tested the device's battery performance.Vivo T4 5G: Pricing and availabilityadvertisement
