Summary of advantages:
Realme 2 Pro:
* Slightly higher display pixel count

* Higher main rear camera resolution
* Slightly larger battery
Vivo V11:
* Slightly larger Super AMOLED screen
* Higher secondary rear camera resolution
* Higher front camera resolution

Based on the summary above, the two devices have plenty of advantages over each other. While both have 19.5:9 aspect ratios, same resolution, and tiny notches, the V11 has a slightly larger Super AMOLED screen that can deliver punchy colors and deep blacks. The Realme 2 Pro, however, has a slightly higher pixel count and comes with Gorilla Glass 3 for protection.
When it comes to imaging, the two have dual-rear camera setups but of different resolutions. The Realme 2 Pro has a higher main rear camera resolution but the V11 has a higher secondary rear camera. For selfies, the V11 wins for having the highest camera resolution. As for image quality, we’re yet to test the Realme 2 Pro, so in the meantime, please check the V11 camera samples here.
Powering both phones is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor and Adreno 512 GPU. However, the Realme 2 Pro offers multiple RAM and storage options while the V11 is stuck with one configuration. This is a big advantage for the Realme 2 Pro as it allows it to become more flexible with its pricing and gives users options.
When it comes to connectivity, both devices almost have the same features including a fingerprint scanner and face unlock. However, the V11 is more fancy with its in-display technology while the Realme 2 Pro stuck with the traditional one.
As for the battery, the Realme 2 Pro has a slightly larger capacity, but the V11 has the advantage of having a fast charging technology. We can’t compare their battery life as of the moment as we’re yet to get our hands on the Realme 2 Pro.
When it comes to pricing, the Realme 2 Pro is yet to arrive in the Philippines but it looks competitive based on the Indian pricing: INR13,990 (~PHP 10,400, 4GB + 64GB), INR15,990 (~PHP 11,900, 6GB + 64GB), and INR17,990 (~PHP 13,400, 8GB + 128GB). For comparison, the Indian V11 Pro (V11 in the Philippines) is at INR 25,990 (~PHP 19K), while the official price of the V11 in the Philippines is PHP 19,999.
