Geekbench
Geekbench benchmark results show that the Vivo V29 Pro achieves a single-core score of 1,208 and a multi-core score of 3,920. In comparison, the OnePlus 11R outperforms it with a slightly higher single-core score of 1,266 but lags in the multi-core score, which is 3,868. While the V29 Pro should theoretically handle multiple tasks or threads better, the marginal difference means that in practical usage, any performance variation is unlikely to be noticeable.
AnTuTu
In terms of the overall AnTuTu score, the OnePlus 11R takes the lead with an impressive score of 10,55,843, surpassing Vivo V29 Pro’s 9,04,325. The most notable disparity emerges in the GPU, where the OnePlus smartphone scores nearly double its counterpart. Does it mean the OnePlus 11R offers a better gaming performance? Read on to find out.
CPU Throttle
For the CPU Throttle test, we ran 50 threads for half an hour on both devices. The result speaks in favour of the OnePlus 11R which only throttled to 84 percent of its peak performance. The Vivo V29 Pro, on the other hand, throttled to 77 percent of its peak performance. With these scores, it’s evident that the OnePlus smartphone should perform better under sustained load compared to the V29 Pro.
Gaming
Both the OnePlus 11R and Vivo V29 Pro boast ample processing power to handle graphically demanding games, including BGMI. To evaluate their performance, I conducted a half-hour gaming session on both devices, running the game at its highest ‘Ultra HD’ graphics and ‘Ultra’ frame rate settings. Remarkably, neither of the handsets experienced any frame drops or stuttering. Additionally, they effectively managed their thermal performance.
Be that as it may, the OnePlus 11R delivers more realistic graphics compared to the Vivo V29 Pro. That’s the only difference I encountered while conducting gaming tests on the devices. So, unless you are a gaming enthusiast, you can’t go wrong with either device.
Verdict
Here’s what we gathered from this OnePlus 11R vs Vivo V29 Pro performance comparison:
- The Vivo V29 Pro, equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, showcases impressive multi-core performance, whereas the OnePlus 11R, driven by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC, shines in the GPU department, making it a superior choice for gaming.
- The OnePlus 11R exhibits lower CPU throttling during prolonged usage, ensuring sustained performance.
- That being said, both devices excel in handling graphically demanding games, with no frame drops or overheating issues.
Ultimately, the choice between these two excellent smartphones may come down to individual preferences and priorities, especially for those who value gaming prowess.
