Two months ago Vivo launched a new series of phones for the midrange segment identified by the letter T. The first handsets from the series are Vivo T1 and Vivo T1x: both mid-rangers, both with a great quality price ratio. Despite they are two variants from the same lineup, there are plenty of differences between the Vivo T1 and the Vivo T1x. This is the reason why we decided to put them together in a comparison between the main specifications. If you were looking at these two devices but you were a bit confused about which one to go for, go ahead with this comparison and you will learn the main differences between Vivo T1 and Vivo T1x.

Design

The aesthetics of the Vivo T1 and the Vivo T1x are very different. First of all, the former has a punch-hole display with a hole placed in the middle of the panel, while the latter has a waterdrop notch. The rear side of the Vivo T1x reminds of the Vivo Y72 5G with a smaller and vertical camera module including two sensors and a LED flash, while the VIvo T1 has a larger and more traditional camera module. Both the phones are made of polycarbonate, but, even though the vanilla version has a higher screen to body ratio, the Vivo T1x is way more compact because it sports a smaller display.

 

Display

The Vivo T1 and the Vivo T1x are equipped with IPS LCD displays sporting a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Not amazing panels in terms of color reproduction, but good enough for every kind of user. The Vivo T1 has a wider diagonal: 6.67 inches against just 6.58 inches. Further, it comes with the HDR10 certification which improves the image quality. For the rest, these displays are similar. On the audio side, the handsets are equipped with mono speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The fingerprint reader is placed at the side, on the power key.

 

Specs & Software

If you want higher performance and a better device for multi-tasking, choose the Vivo T1. It is powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, an octa-core chipset running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz and including an Adreno 642L GPU. The chip is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, a memory configuration which you can usually find on flagship phones. It is an upper-midrange handset great for gaming and productivity. The Vivo T1x still comes with a midrange chip, but it is an inferior Mediatek Dimensity 900 paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. Vivo T1 and Vivo T1x run Android 11 out of the box, customized by OriginOS.

 

Camera

The rear camera setup of the Vivo T1 includes a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera. It is a midrange camera phone, nothing special but it guarantees a good photo quality and 4K video recording. The Vivo T1x lacks the 8 MP ultrawide sensor but the remaining ones are the same. The front camera of the vanilla version is a better 16 MP snapper, while the T1x sports a disappointing 8 MP sensor.

 

Battery

Despite the Vivo T1 has bigger dimensions, these two devices pack the same battery: a 5000 mAh unit that supports 44W fast charging which brings it from 0 to 70 percent in just 38 minutes. The Vivo T1x should guarantee a slightly longer battery life because it has a smaller and more efficient display, but the difference should be just marginal.

 

Price

The starting price of the Vivo T1 roughly translates into €300/$368, while the Vivo T1x is priced at €230/$259 in its base variant. If you can renounce to the ultrawide sensor and a Dimensity 900 is powerful enough for your needs, then choose the T1x and you will even get a more compact phone. But if you need high performance and good ultrawide shots, then go for the vanilla version.
