Pros and Cons

vivo S16e

Strengths

Vivo S16e has an attractive design with under-display fingerprint sensor, USB type-c port, and a bumpy camera module that gives it a premium look.
The phone's screen to body ratio is high at 85.9% making it a great device for media consumption.
It comes with a 6.62 inch HDR 10 plus amole display and a refresh rate of 120 hertz, which makes content easy to view even in bright sunlight.
The phone's build quality is much better, with protection from gorilla glass on the front, a glass back, and an aluminum frame.
It supports fast charging of up to 66 watts, which can charge the phone from 0 to 50% in just 19 minutes.
The device has a good camera setup, with a 50 megapixel main sensor, macro, and depth sensors, making it suitable for photography enthusiasts.

Weaknesses

The phone's benchmark score is lower than its predecessor, the S15e, which might be a concern for gaming enthusiasts.
It lacks stereo speakers and a headphone jack, which can affect sound quality.
The camera of Vivo S16e cannot record video at high frame rates like some other flagship devices, being limited to 24 FPS.
Vivo S16e has not more good feature according to its price, making it a less desirable option in the mid-range segment.
It does not come with a recent Android OS version, having only Android 11 out of the box and not receiving any official updates yet.
The phone's battery life is sufficient for daily use but gaming might require more frequent charging.

Oppo A80 5G

Strengths

At $369, the Oppo A80 5G is a bargain, particularly when you consider that it is technically drop proof.
The phone has a robust build with a 360-degree damage-proof armor body, which can withstand drops of up to 1.4M on every side and corner.
It has a fast refresh rate (120Hz) and high brightness level (up to 1000 nits), making the user interface seem smoother and scrolling faster.
The phone's battery life is impressive, with a capacity that will last for at least four years, retaining up to 80% of its charge over time.
It supports Oppo's Super VOOC charging up to 45W, although the fast charger is not included in the box.

Weaknesses

The phone has a relatively low-quality camera with AI editing functions that are not great and can even introduce new issues (e.g., adding unwanted objects).
It only comes with a 720p display, which is expected given its budget price point.
The processor is on the lower end in terms of performance, and it's actually a bit worse than the A79 in CPU benchmarks.
You don't get the fast charger in the box, which feels like an unnecessary extra cost.
It only comes with 2 years of operating system updates, which seems short given its robust build and long-lasting battery life.
