If you’re looking to buy a new smartphone in the Rs 40,000 price range, you might be considering the Vivo V27 Pro and the OnePlus 11R. Both phones have their strengths, but the Vivo V27 Pro is a better purchase than the OnePlus 11R for several reasons.
Design-wise, both phones are sleek and premium-looking, but the Vivo V27 Pro has a more compact and curvier design, and it also comes with a color-changing back panel if you opt for the blue variant. The OnePlus 11R, on the other hand, draws inspiration from the OnePlus 11 and comes in both matte and glossy finishes, with the alert slider being a stand-out feature.
When it comes to display, the OnePlus 11R has a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with 1.5k resolution and an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, while the Vivo V27 Pro comes with a slightly larger 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. While the OnePlus 11R’s panel can peak at 1,450nits of brightness and supports HDR10+ playback, Vivo doesn’t share the peak brightness figure for the V27 Pro’s panel, but it can still playback HDR10+ content.
In terms of processor, the OnePlus 11R has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, which is a powerful chipset that can handle gaming and heavy multitasking with ease. The Vivo V27 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200, which is also a capable chipset but not as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.
When it comes to cameras, both phones have a triple camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro. However, the Vivo V27 Pro has a better selfie camera with a 50MP sensor, while the OnePlus 11R has a 16MP selfie shooter. The Vivo V27 Pro can also record in 4K, while the OnePlus 11R tops out at 1080p (@30fps).
Battery and charging are also important factors to consider. The OnePlus 11R has a larger 5,000mAh battery and supports 100W fast charging, which means you can quickly top up the battery and have less downtime while gaming. The Vivo V27 Pro, on the other hand, has a 4,600mAh battery and supports 66W fast charging, which is still quite fast but not as fast as the OnePlus 11R.
Finally, when it comes to price, the Vivo V27 Pro is a better deal than the OnePlus 11R. The V27 Pro starts at Rs 37,999 for 8GB/128GB, and you can also get it in 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB for Rs 39,999 and Rs 42,999, respectively. The OnePlus 11R is available with 8GB/128GB and 16GB/256GB for Rs 39,999 and Rs 44,999, respectively.
In conclusion, while both phones have their strengths, the Vivo V27 Pro is a better purchase than the OnePlus 11R for photography enthusiasts who want a more compact design, better selfie camera, and
