The primary camera setup present on the Vivo X23 is able to capture images with a wider angle when opting to use the secondary sensor, while in the remaining three smartphones, these secondary cameras act as depth-sensing modules.

OPPO K1 vs Vivo V11 Pro vs OPPO R17 vs Vivo X23 Conclusion

Quite surprisingly, these four devices impress greatly in the design department and the fact that they feature AMOLED screens paired with in-display fingerprint readers is commendable. However, when it comes to the final verdict, we will opt for either the OPPO R17 or the Vivo X23 and that is thanks to their powerful internal specifications.

Having a Snapdragon 660 in a smartphone will make it quite capable when carrying out a number of tasks, but pair a Snapdragon 670 with 8GB of RAM, and you have a combination that buyers will love to carry around in their pockets. Unfortunately, only the Vivo V11 Pro is available in the Indian market and it carries a price of Rs. 23,148 for the lowest possible value. In this case, you’ll have to wait for the other three devices to officially land in India.
