Design

The Vivo X90 Pro and the iQOO 11 Pro come with very good designs, including premium materials and curved screens at the sides. Which one is the most beautiful? It is mainly a matter of taste. In terms of look, I personally prefer the Vivo X90 Pro. And you should also note that it is the only phone of the duo with the IP68 certification, so it is waterproof and dustproof. On the other hand, the iQOO 11 Pro is slightly thinner and lighter. As already mentioned, they both come with curved displays, and the dimensions are almost the same.

Display

Surprisingly, the iQOO 11 Pro is equipped with a better display than Vivo X90 Pro. It is a Samsung AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 144 Hz, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Vivo X90 Pro gets an AMOLED display able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, an 1.5K resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The Vivo X90 Pro and the iQOO 11 Pro are fueled by the latest Qualcomm and Mediatek flagship chipsets, respectively. The former is equipped with the Mediatek Dimensity 9200 chip running at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz, while the latter has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz. The iQOO 11 Pro wins the hardware comparison for a simple reason: it has a memory configuration with a higher amount of RAM: up to 16 GB, as well as up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 native storage. The Vivo X90 Pro stops at 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage. Both phones run Android 13 out of the box, customized by either Origin OS or Funtouch OS depending on the market.

Camera

The best camera setup is the one found on the Vivo X90 Pro. It is equipped with a triple rear camera including a 50.3 MP main sensor with laser autofocus and OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 50 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom and OIS. The iQOO 11 Pro has an inferior 50 MP main sensor, and an inferior 13 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, but it has a better ultrawide shooter with a 50 MP resolution. The Vivo X90 Pro also provides a better front camera, with a resolution of 32 MP.

Battery

The battery found on the Vivo X90 Pro is bigger than the one found on the iQOO 11 Pro, so it is able to give you a slight battery life boost with a capacity of 4870 mAh instead of just 4700 mAh. On the other hand, the iQOO 11 Pro supports 200W fast charging, so it charges quicker since its internal rival has 120W fast charging.

Price

The iQOO 11 Pro starts from about €700/$746 in China, while the starting price tag of the Vivo X90 Pro is €750/$800. Which one would you pick?
