Both the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and Vivo V19 are great devices and have their own advantages over each other. However, most people prioritize the overall performance above everything else. And if you’re one of them, the Mi 10 Lite might be the better for you.

Xiaomi‘s bet comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor and an Adreno 616 GPU. You can get more power out of it than the Snapdragon 712 and Adreno 616 GPU of the Vivo V19. Although, the copper liquid cooling on the V19 makes up for the underpowered processor.

This Snapdragon 765G chipset also allowed the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite to have 5G connectivity, which the V19 lacks. But if you’re looking for a cheap 5G-powered Vivo phone, there’s the Vivo S6 5G for that.

If you can settle with the less-powerful Snapdragon 712, the Vivo V19 has a few extras compared to the Mi 10 Lite.

For one, it has a sharper 32-megapixel selfie camera. Plus, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera for taking group shots. That’s versus the 16-megapixel waterdrop camera of the Mi 10 Lite.

The Vivo V19 also has a 4,500mAh battery that is obviously bigger than the 4,160mAh capacity of the former. There’s also the 33W fast charging (vs 20W) to compliment the larger battery.

To sum it up, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite’s faster and more powerful processor makes it the top choice for those who want to have the best performance for their money.

In addition, its cameras and battery capacity are probably good enough. However, going with the Vivo V19 entitles you to an extra ultra-wide front camera and a bigger 4,500mAh battery with faster 33W fast charging.
