Vivo is one of the few smartphone manufacturers that caters to different audiences. The company’s V series phones are known for their premium build and excellent camera performance, while the T series caters to people who want good performance without spending too much.

However, with the Vivo T3 Ultra, the company seems to be offering the best of both worlds – an eye-catching design bundled with an excellent MediaTek chipset. I used the Vivo T3 Ultra for a couple of weeks, and here’s what I like and don’t like about Vivo’s value-for-money V40 cheaper lookalike.

As soon as I unboxed the phone, I noticed that the Vivo T3 Ultra has a striking resemblance to the V40 series, the company’s latest premium mid-range series. For a second, I felt like Vivo was lazy enough to copy the design from its newest V series phones, but when I held it in my hand, I felt like the slim and light-weight build combined with the looks made the T3 Ultra stand out from other smartphones in the sub-Rs 35,000 price bracket.
