With Vivo launching the T3 Pro at a starting price of ₹24,999, has intensified the competition in the mid-range smartphone market. The OnePlus Nord CE 4 has been a formidable all-rounder in this segment, but it remains to be seen whether the T3 Pro can challenge its dominance or if the OnePlus offering continues to be the best in its class.

Which phone should you buy among them?
Both the OnePlus Nord CE 4 and Vivo T3 Pro share many similarities including the chipset, battery, Android version and even come at a very similar price. However, there are some things that are different between the two. For instance, the T3 Pro comes with a slightly bigger and brighter 6.77 inch panel and offers a curved display instead of a flat panel on the CE 4.
Nord CE 4, on the other hand, comes with a faster UFS 3.1 storage and relatively less bloated UI in the form of Oxygen OS. There is a clear decision to be made between the good looking plastic back of the Nord CE 4 and the vegan leather finish of the T3 Pro. Both the material have their advantages and disadvantages and the final decision will have to rest in the hands of consumers.
