But if you’re into gaming, you should consider going for the V27 Pro.
Smartphone companies often dazzle us with their latest and greatest flagship offerings.
These nearly thousand-dollar devices usually take center stage during keynotes and product launches.
But do you really need an expensive flagship gadget?
So, let’s check out how these two devices and see how they perform in your hands.
When you open them, you’re greeted by the smartphone right away.
Under the tray holding the phone, you get a clear TPU case and the warranty booklet.
You also get an 80-watt FlashCharge adapter and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
But aside from those, you don’t get any other goodies.

So, what advantage does the latter bring over the former?
But does this change justify its $60 premium?
Furthermore, even the former outperforms the last generation V25 Pro, getting consistently better scores across various tests.

The V27 Pro received almost the same single-core score, at 1,209 points.
However, its multi-core score is nearly 1,000 points higher at 3,630.
The V27 Pro, on the other hand, got a 4,117 OpenCL score and a 4,270 Vulkan score.
This shows the advantage you get with the more powerful Dimensity 8200 chip on the V27 Pro.
This benchmark pushes hardware to its limits running intensive apps for 20 minutes straight.
And since we’re only looking at mid-range phones, don’t expect high-end results for both devices.
The results are surprising: the V27 garnered 12,363 points, while the V27 Pro only received 10,974 points.
After all, the two devices are identical externally.
However, you’re unlikely to notice this, especially if you’re not pushing them to their limits.
What’s more important is how the V27 and V27 Pro look and feel in your hands.
Let’s first look at the only external difference between the two devicesthe glass back.
The Vivo V27 comes in Magic Blue, Emerald Green, Noble Black, and Flowing Gold.
Furthermore, the Emerald Green glass back uses a unique processing technique which results in a marble-like finish.
On the other hand, the V27 Pro has a matte glass back that’s smooth to the touch.
It’s also available in two colors: Magic Blue and Noble Black.
However, you’re able to only get the color-changing effect with the Magic Blue color.
Both phones have a large camera module covering about one-sixth of their backs.
Like its older siblings, the volume rocker and power switch are on the phone’s right side.
You also get a USB-C port, the speaker, and the SIM card tray on its bottom.
The V27 and V27 Pro screens curve slightly on both edges, making them easier to hold.
The 120Hz screen makes for smoother animation and transitions when browsing the phone.

With that out of the way, it’s possible for you to continue using your phone in peace.
The smaller 8MP ultrawide camera also takes excellent photographs, despite having fewer pixels.
Looking at the V27 Pro, you’ll see that its photos have more vibrant colors.

It has brighter greens and a warmer color tone.
In dark conditions, both cameras perform admirably.
However, the V27 Pro’s processing looks more natural.
It avoids smoothing out the details too much, especially in the darker parts of the image.
However, the Vivo V27 Pro’s processing could make the photo lose some details.
When we photographed a low-flying aircraft, the V27 captured the registration details on its wings.
But on the V27 Pro, we only saw a blur.
Should You Get the V27 or the V27 Pro?
If you’re on a budget, you already get a lot of phone with the Vivo V27.
Nevertheless, we’ll still recommend the V27 Pro for photography because of its more powerful SoC.
it’s possible for you to’t go wrong with either phone.
