Display Comparison

Both phones likely feature a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering vibrant colors and smooth scrolling. However, the T1 Pro might have slightly improved brightness or color accuracy due to potential panel upgrades. Expect FHD+ resolution on both.

Camera Comparison

Both phones likely feature a 64MP main camera. The T1 Pro's superior processor and potentially improved image processing algorithms should result in better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. Expect similar ultrawide and macro lenses on both, but the T1 Pro's images will likely be more detailed and have better dynamic range.

Performance

This is where the T1 Pro shines. The Snapdragon 778G is a substantial upgrade over the Snapdragon 695 (or Dimensity 810 in the Indonesian variant of the T1 5G). Expect significantly faster app loading times, smoother multitasking, and better gaming performance on the T1 Pro. The T1 5G will handle everyday tasks adequately, but may struggle with more demanding games.

Battery Life

Both likely have a 5000mAh battery. However, the T1 Pro's 66W fast charging is a game-changer, allowing it to charge from 0 to 50% in just 18 minutes, while the T1 5G's 18W charging is considerably slower.

Buying Guide

The vivo T1 5G is ideal for users on a tight budget who prioritize basic 5G connectivity and everyday tasks. The vivo T1 Pro is for those who want a smoother experience, faster charging, and better performance for gaming and demanding apps, even if it means spending a bit more.
