Verdict
From the tests above, it is easy to conclude that, when it comes to raw performance capability, the Vivo T3 is the better choice when compared to the Realme Narzo 70 Pro. It beats the latter in each of our performance tests, thanks to its powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, which even powers some of the higher-priced phones, such as the Nothing Phone (2a). If your priorities lean towards top-notch performance coupled with a sleek design, the Vivo T3 stands out as a solid choice.
Where the Realme Narzo 70 Pro shines is its more comprehensive camera system, which includes an improved primary camera (50MP Sony IMX890) in comparison to the Vivo T3’s (50MP Sony IMX882). The smartphone also offers a faster charging speed at 67W compared to the 44W on the Vivo T3. If you value faster charging speed and cameras in a smartphone, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro is a compelling choice in the segment.
