Both devices feature a familiar and boring design like the previous iteration from their respective inventory. There’s either a punch-hole cutout or a dewdrop notch up front, and slim bezels covering the panel. While the Vivo T1 flaunts a gradient tone, the Redmi Note 11S comes in single shades. Another feature missing on the Redmi phone is liquid cooling technology which is claimed to reduce the former’s core temperature by 10-degree.
The new Vivo phone takes an edge in the display department too. While the Redmi phone gets a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, the Vivo phone offers a 6.58-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Although the Redmi smartphone can render sharp contrast, vivid colours, and deep blacks as compared to the LCD panel.
Software, internals
In terms of software, both handsets run Android 11 OS with custom ROM skinned on top. As for performance, the Vivo T1 equips a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with up to 8GB RAM. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 11S gets a MediaTek Helio G96 SoC coupled with up to 8GB RAM. Although both smartphones are expected to deliver similar performance, the Vivo phone’s 5G support puts it a point ahead in the scoreboard.
Camera
On the camera front, the new Vivo T-series phone gets a triple camera array headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. There’s a 16-megapixel camera up front for shooting selfies. As for the Redmi Note 11S, like recent Redmi phones, it boasts a 108-megapixel primary sensor which is accompanied by three other sensors. For selfies, you get a 16-megapixel sensor.

In terms of backup, the Redmi Note 11S draws power from a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The Vivo T1 has a similar battery capacity, although the fast charging support cuts at 18W.
Price
The Vivo T1 price in India starts at Rs 15,990 and goes up to Rs 19,990 for the 8GB/128GB variant. Redmi Note 11S, on the other hand, costs Rs 16,499 for the base model, and shift up to Rs 18,499 for the 8GB RAM model.
Which one to pick under Rs 20,000?
Both Vivo T1 and Redmi Note 11S set a nip and tuck competition in this price range. The Redmi Note 11S offers a vivid display, fast charging solution, and better camera as compared to the Vivo phone. However, the Vivo T1 justifies the definition of a modern-day phone with a 120Hz display, 5G support, and liquid cooling technology. If you are looking for a budget phone for casual usage, Redmi Note 11S would be the next pick for you, however, those who are into gaming and multitasking can opt for the new Vivo T1 smartphone.
