a dependable performance.

OPPO

346 in Pakistan. While Vivo V11 Pro will be sold at around Rs: 50,000 or $ 400

Expected to release on 9th September in Pakistan with Premium Specs.
OPPO F9 Pro vs Vivo V11 Pro: Conclusion
Both
of these phones offer solid mid-range specs at a decent price point. However,
the problem with such mid-rangers now is that phones like the Poco F1 are
offering flagship grade specs at prices even lower than these mid-rangers. That
being said, these are still great phones, if you’re in the market for a nice-looking
phone, with decent performance and good camera experience. If you’re more
worried about the raw performance or need a phone primarily for gaming, you’re
better off opting for the Honor Play or the Poco F1. Between these two phones
though, both the OPPO F9 Pro and Vivo V11 have impressive design and nearly
all-screen display that add so much to your phone. Not to mention, Vivo V11 Pro
takes the edge with the extremely dependable Snapdragon 660. But if the
priority is battery over the processor, then OPPO F9 Pro with VOOC Flash
charging is your pick.
