Peak brightness

Pixel 9: 2,700 nits vivo X200 Pro: 4,500 nits Peak figures are usually reached only in short bursts or small areas of the screen, but a higher ceiling still helps outdoor visibility.

Screen size

Promised OS updates

Pixel 9: 7 years vivo X200 Pro: 4 years A longer update promise keeps the phone secure and current for longer, which matters if you keep devices for several years.
