What’s the story?

Although both brands are under the same parent company,Vivo and Oppo are siblings fated for smartphone battle. The V20 Pro is Vivo's answer to OnePlus' Nord which also happens to be our favourite affordable smartphone. But if you want something other than the OnePlus, the Vivo is the safest option out there.

Is it any good?

What does ₹29,990 get you? Decent power, three cameras around the back, biometric security and a good display. There’s a case included, and a dual punch-hole selfie camera like the ones you see on some flagship phones.

Compared to the OnePlus Nord, this feels lighter and snazzier in the hand. But the FullHD+ AMLOED display is probably the best among the smartphones in the list. The colours are a bit boosted but it has a decent HDR display and inky blacks which are otherwise reserved for expensive smartphones. No high-refresh though!

The Snapdragon 765G is no sloucher either, its performance is as good as the Nord and the Funtouch OS 11 brings all the joys of Android 11 to this device. We still don't enjoy the ton of bloatware on this thing but its still ad-free and a better UI experience than Xiaomi's MIUI.
