Frequently Asked Questions
Vivo V50 scores highest overall in this comparison, with a spec score of 83.4/100. The spec score weighs performance, display, camera, battery and value together, so treat it as a starting point rather than a verdict — the right phone still depends on which of those you care about most.
Nothing Phone (3a) is the most affordable here, starting at ₹24,999. That is ₹100,000 less than the most expensive phone in this comparison.
Vivo V50 has the largest battery at 6000 mAh. It charges at up to 90W. Capacity is only part of endurance: chipset efficiency and screen refresh rate affect how long a charge actually lasts.
Vivo V50 is the fastest on paper, topping the AnTuTu benchmark at 870,000. Benchmarks measure short bursts, so a phone with better sustained thermals can still feel quicker in long gaming sessions.
Nothing Phone (3a) has the brightest display at 3000 nits peak, with a 120Hz refresh rate. Brightness matters most for outdoor readability; see the Display section below for panel type and resolution.
