This year, Vivo launched the first top-tier flagship of the X series: Vivo X50 Pro+. Now, the Chinese giant can compete with the most advanced handsets from other companies belonging to BBK Electronics. Indeed, if you are looking for the most advanced device released by a BBK Electronics subsidiary (not only in terms of performances but also cameras and other features), you have three main choices: Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. After reading this comparison, you will know the differences between these three handsets and, hopefully, you will be able to evaluate which device fits your needs the most.

Design
The most amazing design belongs to the Oppo Find X2 Pro. It is made of unique materials if compared to other flagships released this year. It comes in two variants: one with a leather back and one with a ceramic body, instead of the usual glass + aluminum sandwich you can find on other flagships such as the OnePlus 8 Pro. Further, just like the OnePlus 8 Pro, the Oppo Find X2 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while Vivo X50 Pro+ does not have any protection against water and dust. Vivo X50 Pro+ has a leather variant as well, but due to its huge camera module, I prefer the Oppo Find X2 Pro. Note that the SIM tray of the Oppo Find X2 Pro houses just a single SIM card slot in the global market.
Display
Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro have more or less the same display specifications, but in my opinion, the Oppo Find X2 Pro offers a slightly better image quality. On the other hand, OnePlus 8 Pro has a slightly wider panel with a 6.78-inch diagonal. There is no way Vivo X50 Pro+ can compete with its two rivals since it has a lower Full HD+ resolution, but it is a more compact device with its smaller diagonal.
Hardware/Software
With the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 internal storage, you can get more or less the same hardware department with Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. So you should not worry so much about performances: all of them are powerful flagships with the best hardware you can get in 2020. What changes is the software: Vivo X50 Pro+ and Oppo Find X2 Pro run Funtouch OS and ColorOS with a more customized user interface, while OnePlus 8 Pro runs Oxygen OS which is closer to stock Android.
Camera
It is very hard to pick a winner of the camera comparison because these devices are able to click amazing photos in each environment and they have different pros in each scenario. The cameras which convinced me the most are the ones found Oppo Find X2 Pro, despite it has a lower amount of sensors on the rear side. It has amazing autofocus and a great 5x optical zoom. The silver medal goes to the Vivo X50 Pro+ with its quad camera including a periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and a portrait lens with 2x optical zoom. But it actually has a better stabilization and it is better for videos.
Battery
OnePlus 8 Pro has the biggest battery, but the Oppo Find X2 Pro is optimized very well and its battery is long-lasting like the OnePlus 8 Pro. But in a lot of scenarios, you should get a longer battery life with the Vivo X50 Pro+ because it has a lower display resolution (FHD+ instead of QHD+). Oppo Find X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology (65W), while OnePlus 8 Pro is the only one to support wireless charging.
Price
Vivo X50 Pro+ is priced €632/$706 and it is not sold globally. OnePlus 8 Pro starts from €919/$1027, while Oppo Find X2 Pro is priced €1199/$1340. While the Vivo X50 Pro+ makes you save a lot of money, the real winner of this comparison is the Oppo Find X2 Pro due to its premium waterproof design, faster charging, amazing cameras, and more. The OnePlus 8 Pro actually offers a very nice software and wireless charging (as well as a great display), but its cameras are not the best you can get in the market.
