vivo launched a new flagship phone for the second half of the year, the vivo V25 Pro about a week ago. It is placed in a segment where the competition has stiffened over the past few weeks, and there are already great phones like the Nothing Phone (1), OnePlus 10R, OPPO Reno8, iQOO Neo 6 in this price segment.

We already compared the V25 Pro to the Nord 2T a few days ago and today, let’s take a closer look at how the vivo flagship fares in front of another OnePus model, the OnePlus 10R. While the OnePlus device started off at a more expensive price tag in India, over the past few months, the device has seen good discounts, making it even cheaper than the V25 Pro.

The vivo model comes with a Dimensity 1300 chip and a good set of cameras, but the OnePlus 10R brings an even better chipset with a similar camera setup.

So let’s take a look at their specifications in detail in this vivo V25 Pro vs OnePlus 10R comparison.

vivo V25 Pro vs OnePlus 10R

Design

Smartphone design will always be a subjective affair. But the two phones in this comparison use different philosophies for their design profile. The vivo model comes with a curvier design that featured curved edges and sides. The phone features a glass back as well. Note that this is Fluorite AG glass that can change colors when exposed to light. 

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R comes with a flatter profile, making it similar to the iPhone design. Also, the OnePlus model comes with a plastic back. Overall, the 10R’s design is way different from OnePlus’ traditional design philosophy.

The vivo V25 Pro features a slighter more compact body with the dimensions 158.9 x 73.5 x 8.6 mm vs the 163.3 x 75.5 x 8.2 mm dimensions of the OnePlus 10R. However, the 10R model is slightly thinner and lighter (186g vs 190g) than the former device. 

Overall, your choice would depend upon your preference for a curved or flatter design profile. Go with the OnePlus 10R if you like flat-backed phones or else go with vivo if you prefer a more curved design.

 

Display

The two phones have similar display panels. However, as you might have figured out from its dimensions, the vivo V25 Pro comes with a slightly smaller display. The phone features a 6.56-inch 1080 x 2376 pixel AMOLED display panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R comes with a 6.7-inch 1080 x 2412 pixel resolution Fluid AMOLED display, also with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certification.

Both displays are pretty good for their price. Therefore, unless you prefer a slightly smaller or a larger panel, the display shouldn’t be a major influencing department.

 

Specs & Software

If you have been following vivo over the years, you would know that the V series flagship never features the best specs in its price segment. The same is true with the Vivo V25 Pro as well. The phone comes with a Dimensity 1300 chipset, which is a mid-range chip with decent performance. In terms of memory, you can go up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R comes with the faster MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max chip. The processor is pretty good in the mid-range segment and will outperform 1300 in terms of sheer performance and speed. For gaming and resource-intensive tasks, the Dimensity 8100-Max inside the OnePlus 10R would be a better choice.

Similar to the vivo V25 Pro, the OnePlus model comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The vivo V25 Pro features Android 12-based FunTouch 12 OS, while the OnePlus 10R runs on Android 12-based OxygenOS 12.1.

 

Camera

The vivo V25 Pro features a pretty capable camera setup. This consists of a 64MP f/1.9 primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie camera gets a large 32MP sensor.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R comes with a 50MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and finally, a 2MP macro camera. As for the selfie shooter, you get a 16MP punch hole lens on the front.

As you might have noticed, the V25 Pro and OnePlus 10R have almost similar secondary camera setups. Only the primary camera is different, but even with this slight difference, the camera quality shouldn’t significantly differ. We’ve seen the OnePlus model capture decent pictures, but they are nothing extraordinary. We can expect similar performance from the vivo model as well, however, only a real-life camera comparison between the two models will reveal if there’s any difference.

 

Battery

Both have similar battery capacities. The vivo V25 Pro comes with a slightly larger 4830mAh battery on board with fast 66 charging support. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R (top-end model) features a 4500mAh battery with the same ultra-fast 150W charging technology. 

 

Price

The vivo V25 Pro retails at ₹39,999. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10R is available for a slightly cheaper price tag in India at ₹39,999.

The final purchase decision when it comes to the above two devices will boil down to two main areas – performance and budget. 

If you want a mid-range device with a unique design, fast charging, and a good set of cameras, go with the vivo model. On the other hand, if you are looking for a phone that’s cheaper, performs better, and charges extremely fast, it makes sense to get the 150W version of the OnePlus 10R.
