Here are the advantages of each smartphone:

- 4D Game Shock
- Under-display fingerprint scanner
- Larger battery capacity
- Higher pixel density
- Corning Gorilla Glass 5
- Higher secondary rear camera resolution
- Wider main and secondary rear camera aperture
- Higher front camera resolution
The VIVO Z3 has a larger screen size with higher aspect ratio and horizontal resolution while the Mi 8 SE compensates its smaller setup with a higher pixel density and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Both devices may have different panels with its own advantages and will be able to satisfy users who are fond of watching and streaming videos.
Both smartphones sport the same Snapdragon 710 chipset which should yield a similar performance. There shouldn’t be a problem when it comes to multi-tasking and playing moderate-to-graphics intensive games, however, the Z3 comes with a 4D Game Shock which amplifies a user’s gaming experience so you might want to go for this one.
The Z3 has a higher main rear camera resolution with a narrower aperture while the Mi 8 SE has a higher secondary rear and front MP value. The number of pixels is just half of the picture so we’ll know more about its quality once we get our hands on both smartphones.
In terms of battery capacities, the Z3 carries a slightly larger one but battery life could be different depending on how their systems manage the resources.
Here are their prices:
- VIVO Z3 6GB + 64GB (SD710) – CNY 1,598 (~PHP 12,300)
