Both phones have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC onboard, coupled with quad-channel LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Both of the devices offer a virtual RAM expansion feature of up to 8GB. Additionally, they include the brand-new V2 customized Image Signal Processor (ISP) created by Vivo. The custom ISP is said to provide improved performance when taking portrait photos or filming videos in low light. Both phones include a triple-camera configuration on the back; however, the sensors onboard are different.
