Design and Display

Compared to the last few Vivo phones, the Vivo T1 and T1x smartphones offer a refreshing design layout as the camera board design is directly improved while the body texture also looks impressive. In terms of appearance, both models look aesthetic at first impression, and there are several color options from which you can choose the best one according to your desire.

Furthermore, the build quality is excellent as both phones offer a slim build, although they have a large battery under the hood. Also, the holding experience seems slightly average due to the weight ratio. Even so, tonal options like Black, Aurora, and Silver save the day, except that the Silver variant is not present on the Vivo T1 phone. As for the front screen, the T1 phone features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution.

Then you get a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling, support for HDR 10 content, 650 nits brightness on the Vivo T1 that makes the experience smooth. In contrast, the Vivo T1 relies solely on the 6.4-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate that provides 180 Hz touch sampling on average. However, neither model equips gorilla coring glass nor IP-rated protection.

Memory and Internal

Under the hood, the Vivo T1 is powered by the 6nm Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset that processes a 2.4 GHz blind speed that guarantees an excellent multitasking experience. On average, the hardware optimizes performance precisely to reach the next level of gaming sessions. Furthermore, this variant equips a better refresh rate and touch sampling, so there is no problem with an advanced gaming session.

Apart from that, the Vivo T1x feels a little toned down due to the entry of the 6nm Dimensity 900 5G chipset. However, this chipset is good in processing speed and there is no argument as you will get a decent performance experience with this hardware support. Compared to the superior variant, the visual experience would be a little inferior, but still, you can play without the hassle and enjoy the other features.

On the other hand, the software layering is noteworthy. Even though the Android 11-based Origin OS software optimization is mediocre, the amount of bloatware is relatively less than that of its brother. In terms of storage, the Vivo T1 has 8GB or 12GB of RAM accompanied by 128GB to 256GB of space. At the same time, the Vivo T1x features 6GB or 8GB of RAM with the same 128GB to 256GB of internal storage. Although both models don’t have a MicroSD card slot.

Camera

The Vivo smartphone’s image processing software lives up to its name, as you may have seen the extraordinary features of the Vivo X70 lineup. The company tries to implement the same quality in Vivo T1 and Vivo T1x smartphones. Daylight photography from both phones looks great, as the AI software can capture small details, while low-light photos are slightly above average.

Although the tons of colors look a little whitewashed, it’s great according to standard Chinese photography. Also, the AI features make the photos more enhanced and beautiful. As for specs, the Vivo T1 houses a 64MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro on the rear panel. You are getting a 16MP selfie camera for the front camera that lets you capture decent photos and videos.

Compared to the T1, the Vivo T1x brings the same camera configuration, except that it doesn’t offer the ultrawide lens, although there is a 64 + 2MP lens present in its services. As for the selfie camera, there is an 8 MP lens. On both models, you’ll have similar video recording software, so you can quickly record 4K, slow motion, time-lapse videos with the added video stabilization support that ensures a smooth video recording experience.

Battery and Others

Battery appearance is a similar factor on both devices. The phone offers a 5000 mAh battery that efficiently provides screen time for more than 8 hours, so you can watch series, play long game sessions and do whatever you want. Next is the charger; you will have a charger with a charging speed of 44W and it seems that it has become a trend for every midsize Vivo to have a 44W charger. Even the Vivo S10e also has the same charging speed.

But unfortunately, the phones didn’t offer NFC features for an unknown reason. Hopefully, you’re getting the cutting-edge sensor and communications that will help users experience the UI element accurately. Lastly, let’s talk about the price range. The Vivo T1 costs around $349 (Rs 25,999) approx, and the superior Vivo T1x variant costs around $270 (Rs 19,999) approx.
