The Vivo V25 Pro launched a few days ago is a very interesting upper-midrange phone, not only because it has a color-changing design, but also because of its great hardware and very nice camera department. But is it really the best upper-midrange phone out there or you can find better devices at the moment? In order to answer this question, during these days we decided to publish a few comparisons with the most interesting rivals of this device. Today, it is the turn of a comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo V25 Pro and the OnePlus Nord 2T. They are powered by the same chipset and come with similar specs sheets, but in this comparison, you will find out which one offers the highest value, at least depending on the price.

Design

Both these phones have good designs, but I personally prefer the Vivo V25 Pro. It may be just a personal taste, but it looks like this device offers something more. First of all, it has a rear side able to change color if exposed to direct sunlight, thanks to an electrochromic layer. Further, it comes with a higher screen to body ratio, thanks to narrower bezels around the display. The camera module is not among the most beautiful ones, but the above-mentioned elements make me prefer the Vivo. However, you should note that the OnePlus Nord 2T is still a great phone in terms of design and build quality. It looks minimal and it is thinner than its rival. Further, it comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection by Corning for the display making it scratch resistant. Unfortunately, these phones are made of polycarbonate and they do not come with the most premium materials.

 

Display

The displays of these two panels are very similar. The Vivo V25 Pro has a panel with a diagonal of 6.56 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The OnePlus Nord 2T has an AMOLED display just like its Vivo opponent, but with a smaller 6.43-inch diagonal. It comes with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. As you probably noticed, the Vivo has a higher refresh rate and a wider display diagonal. Both the phones are equipped with stereo speakers, so the audio experience provided is not bad. Note that the OnePlus has thicker bezels around the display, that is the reason why it is not more compact than the V25 even though it has a smaller panel.

 

Specs & Software

The processor powering these two devices is the same: a Dimensity 1300 mobile platform by MediaTek. It is a processor built with a 6 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A55 cores running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. On both the phones, the chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage, with no expandable storage. There is a dual SIM slot, as well as Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and NFC. On the hardware side, it is essentially a draw. These phones run Android 12 out of the box, but with different customized user interfaces on top: OxygenOS and Funtouch OS, respectively. Which one do you prefer?

 

Camera

The OnePlus Nord 2T looks more convincing when it comes to the rear cameras because it has a better main sensor: a 50 MP Sony IMX766 lens with OIS, while the Vivo V25 Pro has a 64 MP camera with OIS. The secondary sensors are not the same as the Vivo features a 12 MP ultrawide camera while the Nord has an 8 MP sensor. The Vivo has a superior front camera: its 32 MP snapper is able to record 4K videos, while the 32 MP sensor of the Nord only records 1080p videos at 30 fps.

 

 

Battery

Now, the batteries. The one found on the Vivo V25 Pro is bigger and, given that the processor is the same, this handset will provide longer battery life in most of the possible scenarios. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord 2T is able to charge faster thanks to the 80W fast charging technology by OPPO. Do you prefer a faster charging phone or a device with a bigger battery?

 

Price

You need Rs. 35,999 / $450 in order to purchase the Vivo V25 Pro in the Indian market, while the OnePlus Nord 2T is priced at Rs. 28,999 / $363 in its base variant with the same amount of RAM and storage (8/128 GB). Which one would you pick?
