Vivo is the latest smartphone brand in India to come out with its new premium device which is part of the popular V series. The company has positioned this moniker for selfie-focused smartphones but performance is an equal part of its strong points. The new Vivo V25 Pro looks to continue that promise with its clean design approach, quality set of cameras and a few other highlights.
But priced at over Rs 35,000 means Vivo faces tough competition from the likes of OnePlus and Realme. So, to get a better understanding of its capability here is our detailed comparison of the Vivo V25 Pro with the OnePlus 10R and the Realme GT Neo 3.

OnePlus 10R prices in India start from Rs 38,999 which gets you the 8GB + 128GB model. You also have the 12GB + 256GB option with 80W or you can go for the 150W charging version for Rs 42,999 and Rs 43,999 respectively.

Vivo V25 Pro vs OnePlus 10R vs Realme GT Neo 3: Design
Vivo has given special focus to the design of the new smartphone. The back panel is made out of textured glass which is capable of changing colours. The phone feels light and slim which makes it easy to use with one hand. The overall in-hand feel is also quite good.
With the OnePlus 10R, you get a boxy design that has flat edges and the back panel is made of plastic which doesn’t look premium. Having said that, a durable body makes it less prone to fingerprints and accidental bumps are also unlikely.
Realme GT Neo 3 shows all its action at the back with the design of the panel inspired by a racing stripe, something which we have seen on other GT-series devices in the past.

Vivo V25 Pro vs OnePlus 10R vs Realme GT Neo 3: Verdict
Vivo V25 Pro is a premium device that has a tough battle on its hands with established and powerful devices like the OnePlus 10R and the Realme GT 3 Neo. All three phones carry an AMOLED display with high refresh rate support and other highlights. But Vivo is using a mid-range chipset which might struggle to compete with the Dimensity 8100 series.
Cameras are always subjective to usage so we can’t comment on their quality but the battery unit and the charging speed feel slower compared to what OnePlus and Realme have to offer. For this price, Vivo V25 Pro might be a hard sell for buyers.
