I was looking into buying a new phone and after a while of looking around Vivo X200T, Oppo Find X8 and OnePlus 13 are the best contenders for my budget and use case. I'm gonna use it for taking pictures (Mostly in the pro/manual mode but some portraits too) and playing random games plus emulation via eden and winlator which doesn't work the best on Dimensity SOCs as far as I know. Though I do use my phones for long hours, I also carry a power bank with me so it's not AS big of a deal. Which one should I consider? OnePlus and Vivo are my favorite brands so there is a little sentimental value to it as well but I don't mind the brand as long as it's a good phone. [I use a OnePlus 12R right now]

Update. Works just fine on my phone for some reason???

I have been looking into buying a new phone and after a while of looking up specs and reviews of multiple phones, I came to the conclusion that these two are the best for my use case and budget. I am currently using a OnePlus 12R so I am leaning a little towards Oppo because of the similar android skin plus it supports wireless charging. But on the other hand I love the design of X200 and Zeiss partnership, Origin OS seems promising as well and it has been my favorite phone brand for a while now. I use my phone for long hours, I need it charged real quick, I use the SOE to its fullest by using stuff like winlator and I love taking pictures of people, nature and the sky (Especially at night when the sky is full of stars), though I mostly use pro mode when I'm not taking pictures of people.

Now here's where I am confused, from what I have seen, When it comes to performance, Oppo is slightly better than Vivo if we consider the antutu and geekbech scores not to mention it has more updates left also it has USB 3.0 and wireless charging. Whereas Vivo lacks slightly at performance, it has a larger battery, faster wired charging and I personally prefer Vivo's cameras and design over Oppo's.

Where I stand, I am willing to compromise the camera quality and longer battery life (and faster charging) of Vivo for the slightly better performance, more updates and and wireless charging of Oppo but I still am not sure considering how similar these two phones are, would love some more input.

Do I have to pay the counselling fees twice if

I applied for both JEE and 10+2?
