Hii, So I've been going back and forth between these two phones for about a week now and would appreciate opinions from people who've actually used either device.

OnePlus 13 (12GB/256GB) is going for ₹54,999. I can get ₹2,000 off using an SBI card, so effective price is ₹52,999.

Vivo X200T (12GB/256GB) is going for ₹59,999 through Flipkart. If i apply flipkart axis credit card, effective price becomes ₹56,999.

My use case

-Planning to keep the phone for atleast 3 years

-Travel photography.

-Battery life is important.

-I don't play games that much.

-Performance should remain smooth over the years.

-Software should be good with good built in features. ( Should be atleast better than xiaomi hyperos)

Also, I'm upgrading from a Redmi Note 11 Pro+ with a replacement LCD display, so either phone will be a huge upgrade in terms of performance and cameras.

My concerns

Is the Vivo's camera actually worth paying ₹4,000 more?

- How are OxygenOS and Funtouch OS after 2-3 years?

- Which brand has better long-term software stability?

- Any issues with camera quality changing after updates?

- Which has better repairability and spare-part availability in India?

- Does OnePlus generally hold its resale value better than Vivo?

Finally, Should i buy right now during the early access deals or should i wait till 4th july so that prices drop further?

I also noticed something interesting on Flipkart exchange:

- OnePlus 13 exchange value: ~₹26,200

- Vivo X200T exchange value: ~₹19,500

Not sure how meaningful that is, but it caught my attention.
