Pros and Cons

vivo S17 Pro

Strengths

The Vivo S17 Pro boasts an impressive new color scheme, dubbed 'main mountain sea green,' which brings a three-dimensional landscape charm that's hard to resist.
The phone features a stunning 6.78-inch 1.5K super retina eye protection screen with a diamond-like pixel arrangement, supporting 10-bit color depth and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Vivo S17 Pro's camera system has been upgraded with a water mirror and Cloud window design, featuring a larger area for the two cameras, as well as a soft light ring that can fill the face anytime and anywhere.
The phone is equipped with a 4600mAh battery that supports fast charging at up to 80W.
Weighing in at just 188 grams, the Vivo S17 Pro is extremely lightweight and easy to hold with one hand.
The phone's JN150MB megapixel super light-sensitive portrait lens supports free zoom from 0.8x to 2x, making it ideal for capturing stunning portraits.

Weaknesses

Unfortunately, the Vivo S17 Pro still doesn't feature stereo dual speakers, a trait that's become all too familiar in the S series.
The phone still relies on a rotor motor that's been criticized for being outdated and not up to par with modern standards.

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.
