Looks wise the two phones have very minute differences. The Vivo T2 5G has a 7.8mm metal body with flat edges. This comes in two colour variants – Nitro Blaze which is blue and Velocity Wave which is black. The camera is large but not a protruding one and the face of the camera is simple with a waterdrop notch for the front camera.
Coming to the OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite, this looks quite similar to the other one, just the edges are a little more curved. This too comes in two colour variants – Pastel Lime and Chromatic Gray. The face of the phone has the modern punch-hole camera cut-out right at the top centre of the phone.
First, the Vivo T2 has a 6.38-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, a 90Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, which makes it very touch sensitive but smooth. Talking about the software, this phone comes with the custom Funtouch OS based on the Android 13.
Second, the OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite display is a little bigger. A 6.72 inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Moving on to the software, this device you get a custom OS, the OnePlus’ OxygenOS 13.1 based on Android 13.
Well in terms of performance you can expect similar results from both as both of these smartphones run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC that is paired with UFS 2.2 internal storage and Adreno 619 GPU for graphics.
The difference lies in the storage part. In Vivo T2 5G the RAM options are 6GB and 8GB, in OnePlus, both the variants are of 8GB, but the internal storage differs. OnePlus has the option of 128GB and 256GB but for Vivo, the max is 128GB. Though, both have the option of expandable storage with the help of microSD cards.
