Display Comparison
Neither device boasts a standout display. While specific panel details (like peak brightness or color gamut coverage) are missing, the focus here is on processing power. Both likely utilize IPS LCD panels, common in this price bracket. The absence of high refresh rates on either device suggests a focus on battery life over visual fluidity. Bezels are likely comparable, and color accuracy will depend on software calibration, a known strength for vivo.
Camera Comparison
Without detailed camera specs, a direct comparison is difficult. However, the market segment suggests both phones will feature a primary sensor paired with depth and macro lenses. The usefulness of the 2MP macro lens on both devices is questionable. Image processing will be a key differentiator. Vivo is known for its portrait mode and skin tone optimization, potentially giving it an edge in everyday photography. The larger sensor (if present) will always be the deciding factor, but without that information, it's a tie.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The vivo Y100 (IDN) utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, fabricated on a 4nm process. This smaller node generally translates to improved power efficiency and reduced heat generation compared to the Infinix Note 30 Pro’s MediaTek Helio G99, which is built on a 6nm process. While both CPUs feature a 2x2.2 GHz core configuration, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 uses Cortex-A78 cores, offering a performance advantage over the Helio G99’s Cortex-A76 cores. This means the vivo will likely handle multitasking and demanding apps with greater ease. The Snapdragon’s Adreno GPU will also provide a smoother gaming experience. The Infinix relies on a Mali-G57 MC2, which is adequate but less powerful.
Battery Life
The Infinix Note 30 Pro’s 68W wired charging, complete with PD3.0 support, is significantly faster than the vivo Y100 (IDN)’s 80W charging, achieving 80% charge in 30 minutes versus 45% in 15 minutes. However, the Infinix also includes 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, features absent on the vivo. While the battery capacity isn’t specified, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2’s efficiency could offset a slightly smaller battery size, providing comparable real-world battery life. The Infinix’s faster charging is ideal for users who frequently need a quick top-up, while the vivo’s efficiency may appeal to those who prioritize longevity between charges.
Buying Guide
Buy the vivo Y100 (IDN) if you need a phone that will remain responsive and cool under sustained load, such as prolonged video recording or moderate gaming, and value a more modern chipset architecture. Buy the Infinix Note 30 Pro if you prioritize convenience features like wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and the fastest possible wired charging speeds, and are willing to potentially trade off some long-term performance consistency.
