INTRODUCTION
The smartphone market is buzzing with the launch of three new flagship killer smartphones the Oppo Find X8, OnePlus 13R, and Vivo X200.
These devices have promising specs, the latest Android version, and longer updates. The brand is trying to attract as many as possible, but what’s the catch?
We’ll dive into a detailed review to find out which phone best suits your needs and lifestyle while comparing the strengths and weaknesses of all models.
Design & Durability
All three phones offer premium build quality and display
-OPPO Find x8 offers sleek design IP68/69 gorilla glass 7i and leather finish
It is the only compact smartphone with 6.59in ProXDR display amongst the three
-Vivo X200 heavier 6.67in AMOLED punch hole display with IP68/69 rating build of glass and aluminum, looks more premium compared to x8 and op13
-Oneplus 13R bulky 6.78in 1.5k ProXDR display, best suited for media consumption and gaming.
Performance and hardware
Find x8 and X200 comes with MediaTek Dimensity 9400 (3nm, 3.63GHz peak) whereas Oneplus 13R is packed with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm, 4.32GHz peak),
All three smartphones come with 12/16GB LPDDR5X RAM with UFS 4.0 storage up to 512gb/1TB
So, the question is, which to choose for better performance? In that case, Oneplus 13R is the best choice for better and more stable software along with an Adreno 740 GPU.
Oneplus also claims to have stable 120FPS in BGMI and is also personally a better gaming choice at the moment in the 40k segment due to a better cooling chamber which performs fantastically in benchmark tests although due to 3nm chips vivo and oppo have higher scores but not stability.
Camera: The Hot Trendy Topic
-Find x8 is equipped with a triple 50MP camera setup (wide, UW, and Telephoto) with 32MP AI featured (marketed-telescope zoom reflection remover, etc)
-Vivo X200 also comes with triple 50MP Zeiss Camera setup 32MP front and
-Oneplus 13r comes with 50MP main Sony LYT-700 sensor along with 50MP ISOCELL JN5 telephoto camera and 8MP UW(useless in 2025)
We will discuss it in detail in the verdict column although it’s clear that 13R is not more of a camera-centric device
Battery and Charging
Find x8 being a compact phone has the smallest battery due to size limitations with a battery of 5630mAh along with 80w charging and 50W wireless charging
Vivo X200 comes with a 5800mAh battery with 90W charging and Oneplus 13R has the biggest battery of 6000mAH with 80W SUPERVOOC charging
Software
All three phones come with Android 15 out of the box
X8 comes with ColorOs which is almost the same as Ios at the moment, Oneplus 13R comes with the newest Oxygen OS 15 prominently known to be the cleanest software and x200 comes with the worst possible software Funtouch OS, We will discuss the application of OS in the verdict column once again regarding the issue of FOS lately
Price: The Most Smartphone Worthiness Deciding Factor
-X200 comes at price upfront of 66k with card discount of 5.5k costing around 60k along with additional exchange bonus,
-OPPO Find X8 also cost around 60k with card discount and 62k without offers
On the other hand, Oneplus 13R costs around 43k and 39k, with discounts and an additional exchange bonus.
The cost of Oneplus is the lowest amongst the three flagship killer series with almost equivalent or better functions than other smartphones except for cameras in which the triple camera setup is more like the dual camera as UW is just 8MP making it a poor choice for camera enthusiasts.
VERDICT
The Three Flagship Smartphones have exceptional hardware but the most differentiating part of these smartphones is, that all three smartphones cater to the needs of different individuals,
They were made to be perfect with imperfect choices by brands.
Let’s start with performance. All three smartphones were supposed to be powerful, considering the current state of the smartphone market, where a 40k phone fetches you the most powerful chipset. Vivo and Oppo opted for Dimensty, whereas Oneplus comes with last year’s flagship Qualcomm chipset 8 gen 3. As Snapdragon is famous for its consistency, Oneplus 13R defeats both in terms of Raw performance and gaming performance.
As the company claims 120FPS in BGMI, it turns out to be the most consistent device offering the best performance for ideal gamers in the 40k range.
Oppo ideally is not a good gaming choice due to its very small screen size and small vapor chamber and vivo can be considered stable but not the very best at the price upfront although all three devices in non-gaming performance would perform exceptionally.
By benchmark scores, Oneplus 13R comes out at the top obviously due to the use of a snapdragton chipset which usually performs better than their counterpart Dimensity Chipsets.
Coming to the most trendy part which is the best choice in cameras, This immediately removes Oneplus 13R from the comparison even after the brand’s effort in putting down an additional Telephoto lens in its latest series, still, it is no match to Vivo’s and Oppo’s 50MP triple camera setup. Amongst Vivo and Oppo it is a tough choice but still, if you are looking for a camera-centric device OPPO Find X8 stands out to be better than Vivo in many aspects the most important aspect is better photos.
But let’s come to an overall better choice which phone exactly suits you? The answer is predominantly in your exact use, For Someone who needs a phone for media on a big screen basic call and camera, and a good performance along with better software the choice is definitely Oneplus 13R
However, if you want a phone with a better camera and a very basic use outside camera that doesn’t involve gaming OPPO Find X8 is the best choice
Vivo X200 is not considered to be a great choice for multiple reasons starting with its below-average Software experience of Funtouch OS which lacks premium feeling as the X8 with better software and cameras is still a far more considerable choice for the camera enthusiast.
Until you specifically want Zeiss output and can bear with Vivo’s software, Find X8 is the best camera choice and Oneplus 13R is the best overall choice as well as the best gaming choice out of the three.
