Earlier this month, Vivo had launched the Vivo V11 Pro as its first V-series smartphone with in-display fingerprint scanner. Speculations are rife that the Vivo V11 is an upcoming smartphone from the company that will be arriving with lower specs and pricing than the V11 Pro. The Vivo V11 has been spotted on the official online store of Vivo India even before its official announcement. The entire specifications of the phone have also surfaced through its official online store listing.

Vivo’s online store appearance of the Vivo V11 has revealed that it will be coming a 6.3-inch Halo FullView display which means it will feature a waterdrop notch. The listing also reveals that the In-cell LTPS screen of the phone is embedded with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

China became the homeland of affordable phones. With Apple releasing only flagship devices and Samsung struggling every day more to keep its first place in several Asian nations, Chinese smartphones seem to be becoming the best choice for people who want to save money. Meizu 16X, Oppo F9, and Vivo V11 are three devices able to provide huge performances, a good photo quality, and stunning aesthetics without being expensive flagships, and you just need about €300 to grab a unit. If you are asking yourself which unit should you bring to your home, this comparison will clear your ideas.

Meizu 16X vs Oppo F9 (Pro) vs Vivo V11 (Pro)

Design

In my opinion, if you love beautiful smartphones, Oppo F9 (also known as F9 Pro in India) is the one you should go for. It combines a stunning design with originality thanks to its gradient glass back with a diamond-like pattern. Even though it is less original, Vivo V11 (also known as V11 Pro) has nothing to envy with another glass back available in gradient colors. Further, both have a waterdrop notch and almost nonexistent bezels. Meizu 16X has the advantage of being symmetric due to its notchless display, but it is far from its opponents in terms of beauty.

Display

Meizu 16X and Vivo V11 are the ones with the most premium displays, especially thanks to the AMOLED technology making their color rich and brilliant. Further, they both feature an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication. Given the slight difference in viewing quality, you can choose the display by basing on your tastes: do you like a notchless display with more bezels or a notched one with almost absent bezels around it? If you prefer the first, then go for the Meizu 16X, else choose Vivo V11.

Specs & Software

No stories: Meizu 16X is the most powerful handset of the trio. It features the new upper-midrange SoC Snapdragon 710 by Qualcomm which is definitely the best Qualcomm’s chipset if we exclude the 800 series. At the second place there is Vivo V11 with its Snapdragon 660, while at the third, with just marginal differences in performance, there is Oppo F9 and its Helio P60 by MediaTek. All of these devices come with a highly customized Android fork: Flyme OS for Meizu 16X, Color OS for Oppo F9 and Funtouch OS for Vivo V11.

Camera

The camera department which convinces us the most, at least on the paper, is the one from Meizu 16X. We still did not have the chance to click a photo from this device as it was announced two days ago, but judging the specs we believe it will shoot better photos. It has a dual setup with OIS and a six-LED flash, as well as a laser autofocus mechanism: all things that improve photos and videos quality missing from the remaining two handsets which even feature lower resolutions for the secondary sensor.

Battery

Oppo F9 has the biggest battery and it should last a bit more than both Vivo V11 and Meizu 16X. Not only it offers a big capacity of 3500 mAh, but it also features the fastest charging technology: VOOC flash charge, which can provide 2 hours of talk time with just 5 minutes of charging. Given that it has the smallest battery with just 3100 mAh (against 3400 mAh of the Vivo V11), Meizu 16X should have the shortest battery life.

Price

Prices are not an element you should consider so much if you want to choose a device from these three handsets. Meizu 16X carries a $305 price tag, Oppo F9 sells for $330 or less depending on the channel, and Vivo V11 starts from $270 (it depends on the market). I believe Vivo V11 is the perfect compromise it combines a great design with satisfying performance, a good battery life, and a nice photo quality, but if you are one of those users who only care about having the best performance, or you want the best camera out there at a modest price, go for the Meizu 16X.

The Vivo V11 Pro, which is manufactured in India, is priced at Rs. 25,990 (approximately $361). The phone is now available for pre-booking and will be available for purchase from 12th September through online and offline stores across the country.

The phone also has a dedicated microSD card slot, so that you can expand the storage up to 256GB. Coming to the front-facing snapper, the smaller notch on top of the display houses a 24-megapixel camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture, HDR support, and AI Selfie Lighting. The front camera also comes with Infrared Face Access, enabling you to unlock the device with facial recognition even in low-light conditions.

On the phone’s back panel, you’ll find a dual-camera module on the top-left corner with sensors placed vertically.

It also comes with artificial intelligence based scene recognition, AI Backlight HDR, and AI assistant for portrait shots.

The Vivo V11 Pro comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a first for the Vivo’s V-series, which is not common to find in a budget device as of now. The company has used the fourth-generation fingerprint sensor, which is claimed to be 50 percent faster than previous generations.

The phone is running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system with the company’s highly customized FunTouch OS 4.5. Vivo has not yet commented about the Android Pie update for the V11 Pro. It also has Game Mode 4.0 that provides an immersive gaming experience.

The device supports the standard set of connectivity options, which includes Dual SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS with A-GPS / GLONASS, and a micro USB port. The phone is fuelled by a 3,400mAh battery which comes with Dual Engine Fast Charging and 9-layer of protection

OPPO has recently launched the OPPO R17 and R17 Pro smartphones with waterdrop display design.

While the X23 smartphone will be launching in China, the V11 and V11 Pro will be announced in India. Compared to predecessor X21 and V9 smartphones, their upcoming successors will be featuring displays with smaller notch. Fresh photos of the Vivo X23 have surfaced to reveal its front and rear appearance. In one of the photos, the front design of the Vivo X23 is compared with OPPO R17 to show the display notch difference.

Vivo has claimed that the Vivo X23 will be offering 91 percent screen-to-body ratio and this is quite evident in the above photos. The reflective glass rear gives a premium appeal. The company has already confirmed that it will be arriving in color gradient options Magic Night Black, Phantom Purple and Phantom Purple. The handset shown is the black version of the phone.

The above photo that compares the front design of both phones shows that the OPPO R17 placed on the left has a drop-like notch whereas the notch on X23 appears round. The below image shows the differences in the positioning of the rear dual cameras on both phones. The X23 and R17 lack rear mounted fingerprint scanner as these devices are equipped with under-display fingerprint scanner.
