Display Comparison

Both phones feature vibrant OLED displays, but the V25 has a measured peak brightness of 781 nits, offering slightly better outdoor visibility. The V27e's display is also excellent, though specific brightness measurements are not provided. Contrast ratio is listed as 'infinite' for the V25, which is a nominal value indicating excellent contrast.

Camera Comparison

Camera capabilities are similar, both offering capable photo and video performance. Specific camera specs (megapixels, aperture) are not provided, but both phones are expected to deliver good results in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance will likely be comparable.

Performance

The V25's Mediatek Dimensity 900 offers a solid performance, but the V27e's Helio G99 generally provides a noticeable performance boost, particularly in graphics-intensive tasks. The Cortex-A76 cores in the V27e's CPU are also more powerful than the Cortex-A78 cores in the V25.

Battery Life

The V25 shines in battery life, boasting an impressive 120-hour endurance rating. However, the V27e's 66W charging allows it to reach 50% charge in just 19 minutes, significantly offsetting the V25's longer battery life.

Buying Guide

The vivo V25 is ideal for users prioritizing long battery life and a bright display. It's a great choice for those who don't demand the absolute fastest performance. The vivo V27e is better suited for users who value quick charging and a smoother overall experience, especially for gaming or demanding apps.
