Earlier this week, Vivo expanded its camera-focused mid-range V series in India. The lineup includes two models -- Vivo V30 and the V30 Pro smartphones that are now available. The smartphone competes with the OnePlus 12R smartphone which was launched in January.
Starting at Rs 39,999, the OnePlus 12R is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset while the Vivo V30 Pro starts at Rs 41,999 and features a Dimensity 8200 SoC.
The former also packs a 5,500mAh battery and supports faster 100W charging.
On the other hand, the Vivo V30 Pro offers better camera capabilities with higher resolution 50MP ultrawide, telephoto and portrait cameras. This smartphone also has a IP54 water resistance rating while OnePlus does not specify any IP rating for its latest phones. Here’s a detailed comparison to show if the extra Rs 2,000 is worth paying:
