OnePlus 9 vs vivo X300 FE
The Verdict
The OnePlus 9 and vivo X300 FE sit in the same category and end up appealing to slightly different buyers. Both launched at roughly the same price ($729 vs $730), so cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor. The vivo X300 FE is the newer release, which usually means a faster chipset and longer software support. OnePlus 9 stands out for 65w warp charge fills battery in 29 minutes, while vivo X300 FE is praised for exceptional 4500 nit peak brightness display with 120 hz amoled panel.
