Positioning and Competition

        The Vivo T4 Lite 5G directly targets the fiercely competitive sub-Rs 10,000 and sub-Rs 15,000 segments in India. Its primary weapon is the combination of a massive 6000mAh battery – a feature typically found in more expensive phones – and 5G connectivity at the entry price point.
