Vivo renewed its amazing V series with two new devices: the Vivo V25 and the Vivo V25 Pro. The latter is an amazing upper-midrange phone equipped with great cameras, a very nice display, a high-end chipset, and even fast charging speeds. It is definitely one of the best value for money phones, but it is also a great rival for the OPPO Reno8 5G. These two phones feature the same processor and their specifications are in the same range; even the prices are not so different. That is the reason why we think it is worth comparing them. So, here is a comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Reno8 5G and the Vivo V25 Pro.

Design

If you look at the rear sides of these phones, then the OPPO Reno8 5G is much more attractive. It has a very original rear design, with a protruding camera module coming out gradually from the cover and a very impressive gradient color option. Even if you look at the profile, you will find a better view: the OPPO Reno8 5G is a thinner and lighter phone compared to the Vivo V25 Pro. But the Vivo mid-ranger is superior when it comes to the design of the front side: it has a higher screen to body ratio, with narrower bezels around the display. The Reno has a pretty thick chin on the lower part which makes the front glass uglier, but it is the only one protected by Gorilla Glass 5.

 

Display

On the paper, the Vivo V25 Pro looks to have a superior display. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.56 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Both the handsets show vivid colors and deep blacks, but the Vivo features a higher refresh rate and a better image quality thanks to the HDR certification, as well as a thinner chin below the panel and a wider diagonal. Unfortunately, the Reno has just a mono speaker, while the V25 Pro has dual speakers, so it produces better audio.

 

Specs & Software

The processors of these two phones are exactly the same: they feature a Dimensity 1300 mobile platform by Mediatek built with a 6 nm production process with an octa-core architecture. The SoC is composed of a Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at a frequency of 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, as well as a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. This is a very good SoC for both basic users and gamers, it is not the best chipset by MediaTek but it is one of the most powerful ones. These two devices also feature the same memory configurations, with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. They run Android 12 out of the box customized by ColorOS 12.1 and Funtouch OS 12, respectively.

 

Camera

The rear cameras of the Vivo V25 Pro look more convincing. It features a triple rear camera composed of a 64 MP main sensor with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide lens with a FOV of 120 degrees, and a 2 MP macro camera. The rear cameras support 4K video recording at 30 fps, while the front camera has a 32 MP resolution and supports 4K video recording at 30 fps as well. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a triple rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. The front camera is a 32 MP snapper with 1080p video recording.

 

 

Battery

The Vivo V25 Pro is the king of battery life here because it sports a bigger 4830 mAh battery. On the other hand, the smaller battery of the OPPO Reno8 5G supports 80W fast charging, which is a faster charging technology. But it has a capacity of just 4500 mAh and, given that these two phones have the same processor, the battery life will be shorter in most of the scenarios.

 

Price

You need at least $400/€393 in order to purchase the OPPO Reno8 5G in India, while the starting price of the Vivo V25 Pro roughly translates into $432/€440. Unfortunately, the V25 Pro has limited availability, while the Reno8 5G is going to be available almost everywhere in the global market as it will launch in Europe soon.
The Vivo V25 Pro wins the comparison due to its better display, superior camera, and bigger battery. But the Reno8 features a more interesting design, faster charging, and a better operating system.
