DXOMARK recently unveiled a new category of testing for Smartphone Displays. Accordingly, the company covers sub-categories like legibility, color, video, motion, touch, and artifacts. After releasing reports of various devices, today, it has included the Vivo X51 to the Display ranking list.

In case you don’t know, Vivo X51 is a tweaked version of the X50 Pro. It launched in the UK, Europe back in October. Anyway, the device gets an overall DXOMARK score of 87. With this, it ties up with other flagships like iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy S20 Ultra at the third spot. And misses out on the crown with just 2 points difference.

To compare’s the top spot is still held by the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with 89 points. The report says the X51 mainly drops in Video and Touch categories. Overall, the device looks to perform well indoors with good readability. And although the brightness isn’t dealt well outdoors, it reportedly has a good blue light filter.

To recall, the iPhone 12 Pro had a strong Blue light filter that impacted the reading at night according to earlier DXOMARK testing. In any case, the Vivo X51 has a much bigger screen(aspect ratio: 20:9) compared to the iPhone 12 Pro(19.5:9). Let’s quickly look at the display specs of the former below:

• Size: 6.56-inch
• Dimensions: 158.5 x 72.8 x 8 mm
• Type: AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate
• Resolution: 1080 x 2376 pixels

To sum up, if you talk about the Pros and Cons, the Pros of Vivo X51 include good color reproduction(across all lighting), indoor brightness, motion-blur, and blue-light filter. However, it has some major Cons like Touch accuracy(gaming), lack of smoothness, outdoor brightness, video(darker HDR10 content).

Vivo is officially landed in the European market! And while doing it, the company also launched a new upper-midrange smartphone. The first Vivo phone launched in Europe is the Vivo X51 5G: it does not carry an affordable price tag, but it has great potentialities, especially on the camera side. Is it actually better than the latest upper-midrange phones and flagship killers released by other top manufacturers in the global market? In order to let you find out, we decided to publish a specs comparison between Vivo X51 5G and its BBK rivals which went global in the last period: OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G and OnePlus 8T.

Vivo X51 5G vs OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G vs OnePlus 8T

Design

The Vivo X51 5G has a stunning design, but the OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G is actually more stylish. It is a thinner and lighter phone, it has a more invisible camera module, elegant color variants (including the limited Green Glitter version), a curved screen and very narrow bezels around the display: it is one of the sleekest phones of the year. Right after, we got the Vivo X51 5G with its curved display and a still thin and lightweight body. OnePlus 8T lacks a curved screen and it is definitely less elegant than its two rivals.

Display

While Vivo X51 5G and OPPO Reno 4 Pro 5G come with more attractive aesthetics, the OnePlus 8T has a better display. It is not a top-tier display like the one found on the OnePlus 8 Pro, but it is still amazing with its high 120 Hz refresh rate (OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G and Vivo X51 5G stop at 90 Hz) and the HDR10+ certification. The Vivo X51 5G and the OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G are more or less at the same level when it comes to the display, but OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G mounts stereo speakers, while the audio of the Vivo X51 5G is mono. In each case, you get an AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Hardware/Software

The OnePlus 8T is the winner of the hardware comparison and one of the most powerful flagship killers in the market. It is powered by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform which is currently one of the best flagship chipsets out there, while Vivo X51 5G and OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G are fueled by the upper-midrange Snapdragon 765G mobile platform. All the phone feature memory configuration up to 12/256 GB, but the OnePlus 8T has a faster UFS 3.1 internal storage, while OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G and Vivo X51 5G have UFS 2.1 memories. Last but not least, the OnePlus 8T runs Android 11 out of the box, while Vivo X51 5G and OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G are still based on Android 10.

Camera

OnePlus 8T loses the camera comparison and, while it retains pretty nice camera capabilities, we do not consider it a high-end camera phone. It is a hard fight between Vivo X51 5G and OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G, at least on paper. The Vivo X51 5G has better zoom capabilities (up to 5x optical zoom!) and a very nice portrait lens, and it should also offer better stabilization (thanks to gimbal OIS). The OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G seems to offer better video recording capabilities thanks to its 12 MP dedicated ultrawide video camera.

Battery

OnePlus 8T has the fastest charging technology, but it is not said that it will last more than Vivo X51 5G in every scenario because it has a less efficient display and an external 5G modem, unlike the Vivo handset. OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G has a smaller battery than its rivals but it charges faster thanks to its 65W SuperVOOC technology. OnePlus 8T supports 65W fast charging as well, but due to its bigger battery, it needs more time to fully charge.

Price

Vivo X51 5G and OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G are priced at €799/$947 globally (12/256 GB), while OnePlus 8T starts from €599/$710 (8/128 GB). There is no definitive winner in this comparison: if you are looking for higher performance and a more interesting display, go for the OnePlus 8T. If you want the best design, stereo speakers, and faster charging, get OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G. Both OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G and Vivo X51 5G are amazing camera phones: with Vivo X51 5G you get a bigger battery than OPPO Reno4 Pro, but it lacks stereo speakers and it has slower charging speeds (33W).
