Pros and Cons

vivo iQOO 9 SE

Strengths

The device offers a flagship experience with a Snapdragon Triple 8 processor at an affordable price of Rs. 34,000.
It has optical image stabilization (OIS) in the camera, which is a great feature to have.
The phone's performance is fluid and lag-free, making it suitable for gaming and other resource-intensive tasks.
The fast charging capability of 66 watts is impressive and can quickly top up the battery.

Weaknesses

The battery capacity feels small at 4500mAh, which may not provide the best backup for heavy users.
The phone's software experience is good, but using a third-party launcher breaks some gestures, which is a minor annoyance.

Oppo A3 4G

Strengths

The phone has a premium design that looks good, especially with its iPhone-like aesthetic.
It has a triple card slot, allowing for expandable storage via microSD.
The phone is said to be drop-resistant and military standard (810h), which adds an extra layer of durability.
The camera has a 50MP main sensor with a wide aperture, capable of taking decent photos in good lighting conditions.
The battery life is reportedly good, lasting up to four years with moderate use.

Weaknesses

The phone's performance is merely 'so-so', lacking the power expected from a mid-range device.
The camera performance is subpar, especially in low-light conditions and when using the front-facing camera.
The front-facing camera resolution is very bad and shaky, making it unsuitable for any type of photography beyond video chatting.
The phone's Snapdragon 6s gen one chip is reportedly a rebranded older model (Snapdragon 685), which may lead to performance issues.
The phone's price point of 9,000 pesos seems too high considering its relatively weak specs and camera capabilities compared to other options like the Infinix Hot 3 4G.

vivo iQOO 9 SE

The Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a formidable smartphone that packs a punch despite its price. With the Snapdragon Triple-A processor, UFS 3.1 storage, and up to 8+128GB configuration, this device breezes through benchmarks and offers seamless performance. Gaming experiences are taken to the next level with titles like Call of Duty and BGMI running smoothly at high settings. The phone's camera is another highlight, featuring OIS and a decent set of lenses that capture good images. However, battery life is somewhat disappointing, given its capacity of 4500mAh. Fast charging is a redeeming feature, allowing for quick top-ups even with minimal usage. Software-wise, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE runs on FunTouch OS 12 based on Android 12, offering an optimized experience that's close to stock. While some might find the default launcher lacking in certain features like swiping navigation gestures when using third-party launchers, overall, the software experience is commendable. Priced at ₹34,000 for the base variant, this device competes directly with the Realme GT Neo 2 and MI 11X, making it an attractive option. The IQOO 9 SE's price is a steal considering its impressive specs, OIS camera, and fluid performance. For those seeking a high-performance smartphone without breaking the bank, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a solid choice. While it may have some minor drawbacks, such as a mediocre battery life, the overall package makes it an excellent value-for-money proposition. In conclusion, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a commendable device that checks many boxes for users looking for a top-notch smartphone experience without shelling out more than ₹35,000. Its impressive performance, solid camera, and fast charging capabilities make it an attractive option in its price segment.
