We show that whenever δ > 0 and constants λi satisfy some necessary conditions, there are infinitely many prime triples p1, p2, p3 satisfying the inequality |λ0 + λ1p1 + λ2p2 + λ3p3| < (max pj)−2/9+δ. The proof uses Davenport–Heilbronn adaption of the circle method together with a vector sieve method.
