1. Battery: Vivo V80 Wins

Battery life is the biggest difference between these two phones. The Vivo V80 has a 7,200mAh battery with 90W fast charging, and Vivo says it's the largest battery in any V-series phone. The OPPO Reno 16 has a smaller 6,700mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging.

What this means for you: the Vivo V80 should last longer on a full charge and fill up faster. If you play games, watch videos, or travel a lot, this matters. The Reno 16 is still a solid all-day phone, so this isn't a bad result for OPPO.

2. Display: Vivo V80 Is Bigger and Smoother

The Vivo V80 has a 6.59-inch OLED screen with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It also gets up to 5,000 nits of local peak brightness. In simple words, scrolling and gaming will look very smooth, and the screen stays readable in bright sunlight.

The OPPO Reno 16 has a smaller 6.32-inch AMOLED display with 3,500 nits peak brightness. It's still bright and sharp. It's also a more compact phone, which is easier to hold with one hand.

What this means for you: want a big, smooth screen? Go with the Vivo V80. Want a smaller, easier-to-handle phone? Look at the Reno 16.

3. Camera: Close Fight, but It Depends on You

Vivo V80: It has a Zeiss-tuned camera setup with a 50MP Sony LYT-700V main camera with OIS, a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide camera. The ultrawide is only 8MP. The front camera is a 50MP wide camera with autofocus, and the phone supports 4K video at 60fps.

OPPO Reno 16: It has a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP telephoto camera. Reviewers also describe it as an all-50MP setup with a 3.5x telephoto lens.

Who wins?

• Portraits and zoom: the Vivo V80, thanks to its Zeiss tuning and 3x telephoto.
• Wide-angle shots (group photos, landscapes): the OPPO Reno 16, because its ultrawide is 50MP while the V80's is only 8MP.
