Recently, Oppo and Vivo launched new affordable premium smartphones in China. These handsets go by Oppo Reno 10 series and Vivo S17 series. They are also expected to release in global markets in the coming days.
These phones are priced similarly and are also targeted at the same audience. However, they come with different features, making them stand out from one another.
These differences also make one of them better than the other, at least on paper. We think the Oppo Reno 10 series is sort of a better deal than the Vivo S17 series. Let’s go through our reasoning for this.
The Oppo Reno 10 lineup is powered by better chipsets (except for the vanilla model) compared to the Vivo S17 family.
Reno 10 Pro and Reno 10 Pro house MediaTek Dimensity 8200 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chips, respectively. On the other hand, the Vivo S17t has a Dimensity 8050 SoC, while the S17 Pro comes with a Dimensity 8200 chipset.
But the standard S17 is run by a Snapdragon 778G Plus chip as opposed to a slightly weaker Snapdragon 778G SoC inside the regular Reno 10.
2. Versatile Camera Setup
All three handsets in the Oppo Reno 10 family come with a zoom camera as standard for portrait photography. The pro plus even features a periscope module. Whereas, only the pro variant gets a zoom camera in the Vivo S17 lineup.
So all Reno 10 series users get three proper lenses, such as wide, ultra-wide, and zoom. Further, just like the Vivo S17 series, the Reno 10 trio sport a selfie camera with autofocus.
Vivo makes up for a less versatile camera system by offering soft light (along with a dual-tone LED flashlight) on the rear and dual LED flashlights on the front.
3. Better Availability
As per leaks, all three Oppo Reno 10 phones, namely Oppo Reno 10, Oppo Reno 10 Pro, and Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus will be released in multiple international markets under their original names.
But the Vivo S17 smartphones will see a limited release in select global markets as the Vivo V29 series. Most importantly, they will be slightly different (downgraded) from the original models.
