Here’s why Oppo Reno 10 series is better than Vivo S17 series

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 11:03:15 +0000

Recently, Oppo and Vivo launched new affordable premium smartphones in China. These handsets go by Oppo R eno 10 series and Vivo S 17 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.

Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus

Vivo S17 Pro

Oppo Reno 10 Series vs Vivo S17 Series

More Powerful Chipsets

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.

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.

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.

Vivo S17, S17t launched with curved 120Hz display, Snapdragon 778G Plus / Dimensity 8050, 50MP front and 50MP triple rear cameras

Vivo has announced the Vivo S17 series of smartphones in China. The lineup has three phones, such as the Vivo S17, the Vivo S17t, and the Vivo S17 Pro. We have a dedicated post on the specifications, features, and price of the Vivo S17 Pro. The S17 and S17t phones offer identical specifications and designs, but they differ mainly in the chipset department. Here is a look at everything that’s known about the S17 and S17t.

Vivo S17, S17t specifications and features

Vivo S17

The Vivo S17 features a 6.78-inch curved-edge AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels, an 800000:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit colours, a 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device measures 164.18 x 74.37 x 7.46mm and weighs 186 grams.

The Vivo S17 is powered by the Snapdragon 778G Plus chipset, up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 256 GB (UFS 2.2) / 512 GB (UFS 3.1) storage. To recall, the Vivo S16 from last year featured the more powerful Snapdragon 870 SoC. It is equipped with a 4,505mAh battery that supports 80W charging. For security, the device features an under-display fingerprint scanner.

The Vivo S17 has a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 selfie camera with dual soft-LED flash units, which are embedded in the top bezel of the device. The rear camera setup consists of an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 primary camera, an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 ultra-wide lens, and a ring-LED flash. The front and rear cameras of the S17 can capture up to 4K videos.

The Vivo S17t is the first-ever device to feature the Dimensity 8050 SoC. As mentioned above, the rest of its specifications are identical to those of the S17. The S17 duo offers other common features, such as dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a USB-C port.

Vivo S17

Vivo came up with a new technology called particle ink for the rear design of the Vivo S17 series. They developed this technology through a research project in 2020. It works by using invisible magnetic force to arrange 15 million magnetic particles on the back panel of each phone, creating intricate patterns that create a unique play of light and shadow. The process involves three high-temperature baking stages, with each step carefully timed within 30 seconds to achieve the desired cascading effect of light and shadow. This gives the S17 series a visually impressive appearance.

Vivo S17 price and availability

The Vivo S17 comes in three variants: 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. These variants are priced at 2,499 Yuan (~$351), 2,799 Yuan (~$394), and 2,999 Yuan (~$422), respectively. It comes in three shades: Mountain Sea Green (blue), Sea of Flowers (pink), and Black. The handset is scheduled to go on sale starting June 6 in China. Vivo is yet to confirm the S17t’s configurations, price, and availability.
