OnePlus 9RT

The OnePlus 9RT is a flagship experience at a cheaper price point. With a premium design, superb 120Hz AMOLED display, and Snapdragon 888 chipset with improved thermals, it's an attractive option for those seeking high-end features without the hefty tag. However, its average camera performance and subpar selfie capabilities are notable drawbacks. A detailed comparison with the Xiaomi 11T Pro highlights both phones' strengths and weaknesses, making the OnePlus 9RT a solid choice, albeit not an outstanding one.

vivo V40 Lite 5G

The Vivo V40 Lite 5G is an entry-to-mid-range smartphone that packs a punch with its unique design and impressive features. Available in three colors, the phone's matte finish gives it a sleek look, while the 6.67-inch AMOLED screen boasts a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels at 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of performance, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which provides decent gaming experience but not as smooth as higher-end devices. However, it's perfect for casual use like WhatsApp and taking photos. The battery life is also commendable, lasting around 13 hours and 30 minutes in standardized tests. The phone comes with an 80W flash charge, which can charge the device from 15% to completion in just 50 minutes, or even faster if the fastest charging option is enabled. However, be aware that this may cause overheating issues in the long run. The Fouch OS 14 runs the show, but it's not without its flaws, including annoying bugs and notification issues. Camera-wise, the dual-camera setup takes decent shots, with a notable feature being the aura light for portrait mode, which provides a diffused look to avoid harsh lighting. Other notable features include a USB-C port at the bottom, dual SIM card slots, and a relatively good color accuracy on the screen. Overall, the Vivo V40 Lite 5G is a solid choice for those looking for a smartphone that's great for everyday use, photo-taking, and casual gaming.
