The verdict, up front

Flagship CPU, mid-range sticker.

T3 Ultra smuggles the Dimensity 9200+ — a chip that powered $700 phones a year earlier — into a $340 body with a blindingly bright curved panel. Vivo saved on the ultrawide and ingress rating; for performance-per-rupee in India it is one of the smartest buys of its season.
