vivo V50 Lite
- Significantly faster 90W charging
- More modern Dimensity 6300 chipset
- Potentially better CPU performance
- Lower battery endurance rating
- Limited camera details available
Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G
- Proven 119h battery endurance
- Established brand reputation
- PD3.0 and QC3 fast charging support
- Older Snapdragon 695 chipset
- Slower charging speed compared to V50 Lite
Display Comparison
Both devices share an 'Infinite' contrast ratio, suggesting typical AMOLED characteristics. However, detailed display specs like peak brightness, color gamut coverage, and refresh rate are missing for both. Given the market positioning, we can assume both utilize FHD+ resolution panels. The absence of LTPO technology suggests neither offers adaptive refresh rates for power saving. The Poco X4 Pro 5G's display is likely tuned for vibrant colors, typical of Xiaomi's displays, while vivo often aims for more natural color reproduction.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific details. Without sensor size or aperture information, a direct comparison is difficult. However, the omission of details suggests neither phone is a camera powerhouse. The focus is likely on providing acceptable image quality for social media and casual use. The 2MP macro cameras often found on phones in this segment are unlikely to deliver significant detail and should be considered a marketing feature rather than a core strength.
Performance
The vivo V50 Lite’s Mediatek Dimensity 6300 (6nm) and the Poco X4 Pro 5G’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm) represent different approaches to mid-range performance. The Dimensity 6300, with its Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz, offers a theoretical CPU performance advantage over the Snapdragon 695’s 2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold cores. This translates to snappier app launches and smoother multitasking. While both chipsets are 6nm, the architectural differences favor the Dimensity 6300 in sustained workloads. The Poco X4 Pro 5G's GPU performance is adequate for mid-range gaming, but the V50 Lite may offer a slight edge in graphically demanding titles.
Battery Life
The Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G boasts a 119h endurance rating, a strong indicator of all-day battery life for moderate users. The vivo V50 Lite, with 61:19h endurance, falls significantly behind in raw capacity. However, the V50 Lite compensates with its blazing-fast 90W wired charging, achieving 50% charge in just 23 minutes and a full charge in 52 minutes. The Poco X4 Pro 5G’s 67W charging (with PD3.0 and QC3 support) is still respectable, reaching 70% in 22 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. The V50 Lite’s 6W reverse wired charging is a useful addition for topping up accessories.
Buying Guide
Buy the vivo V50 Lite if you need the fastest possible charging speeds and appreciate a newer processor architecture for potentially better long-term software support. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you prioritize a proven track record of battery life and are comfortable with a slightly older, but still capable, chipset. Gamers on a budget will find both capable, but the V50 Lite's CPU architecture may offer a slight advantage in sustained performance.
