Display Comparison
While display specifications aren't provided, both devices likely feature OLED panels given their market positioning. However, the iQOO 12 Pro, being a more premium device, is expected to boast a higher peak brightness and potentially LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates, leading to improved power efficiency. The Reno11 likely offers a very good, but less technologically advanced, display experience. Bezels are expected to be minimal on both, but the iQOO 12 Pro may have a slight edge in screen-to-body ratio.
Camera Comparison
Without detailed camera specs, it's difficult to make definitive claims. However, the iQOO 12 Pro, as a flagship, is likely to feature a larger main sensor with a wider aperture, resulting in better low-light performance and dynamic range. The Reno11 will likely focus on a balanced camera system, prioritizing image processing for pleasing results. The presence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) on the main sensor of the iQOO 12 Pro is highly probable, further enhancing image quality. We can expect the iQOO 12 Pro to offer more advanced video recording capabilities.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The iQOO 12 Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm) is a significant leap over the Reno11’s Dimensity 8200 (4nm). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 utilizes the newer Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.3 GHz, alongside improved Cortex-A720 performance cores, resulting in demonstrably faster CPU and GPU performance. The Dimensity 8200, while capable, is a generation behind and will show its limitations in demanding games and multitasking. The iQOO 12 Pro’s LPDDR5x RAM further enhances performance, while thermal management will be crucial to sustain peak performance on both devices, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 potentially requiring more robust cooling.
Battery Life
The iQOO 12 Pro’s 120W wired charging is a game-changer, capable of fully charging the battery in under 20 minutes. The Reno11’s 67W charging is respectable, taking around 19 minutes to reach 50%, but significantly slower for a full charge. The iQOO 12 Pro also adds 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging, features absent on the Reno11. While battery capacity isn't specified, the iQOO 12 Pro’s faster charging mitigates the impact of a potentially smaller battery, offering more convenient top-ups throughout the day.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno11 (China) if you need a well-rounded smartphone with a focus on efficient performance for everyday tasks and appreciate a more balanced approach to features. Buy the vivo iQOO 12 Pro if you prioritize gaming, demanding applications, and the fastest possible charging speeds, and are willing to pay a premium for top-tier performance.
