For someone like me is too tiny.
With my thick fingers typing on such small screen is difficult.
Reading from small screen without enlarging letter is also difficult.
And tiny phones usually comes with tiny specs and batteries. Too much things cramped in tiny body good for easy breaking your phone cuz there is no space.
Well just said my reasons.

Like i said for those who look for a small phones is okay. For me regular one plus 13, Xiaomi 15 or other proper 6,7 and biger inch fagship is a good phone.
Not looking for midranger with flagship chipset.

You may care about it but I don't since I won't sell the phone, network bands? The X200 pro mini has all necessary 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G network bands, official support? Vivo claims that the X200 series be supported with 4 OS updates and 5 years of security patches and that's all what I will need, warranty? Just keep the phone in safe places and protect it by using a GOOD PROTECTIVE case and if anything happens to the screen you can buy another AMOLED display from the manufacturer if possible or buy a 3rd party good AMOLED display but still you need to take care of the phone + there is no official Google support in my country.

But Google's clean, hyper-optimized OS often makes that raw power gap irrelevant in actual day-to-day usage... assuming, of course, they've finally fixed the throttling issues that plagued older Pixels like my 8.

              And 16GB is base on all Pixel 9 Pro models, not locked behind the top-tier 1TB storage paywall like it likely is on that Vivo.

                I remember the X they released a long time ago, was slim and compact by today standards. It was the only OnePlus phone perhaps that didn't have a successor and the build was quite premium for the price it came for (around $250 at that time)

                After buying the oneplus one, I received an additional invite in mail for purchasing a oneplus phone, which I sent to someone that bought the X using the invite

                    Eyaddy, 16 hours agoWell that's correct but in my opinion I don't pre... moreSure, whether you prefer the pure Pixel OS experience or a partially translated Chinese iOS copycat OS is a matter of subjective preference.

                    However, when importing a phone, the facts (not opinions) are, for example: missing network bands, absolutely no official support or warranty, no resale value and shorter OS update support.
                    That's not my opinion, that's the downside of the imported package you accept, unless, of course, the price difference you manage to get it for is undeniably massive compared to the fully supported local options like the Pixel 9 Pro, which already has more flagship features (listed in another comment below).

                      Just make a smaller OnePlus 13 smh. This phone's position in the market is so weird — it's got only two rear cameras, is barely more expensive than the 13R while having a few small downgrades and a better SoC. A smaller version of the 13R is a very niche phone to make, which is probably why it's China-only. Smaller phones sell better as flagships than as mid-rangers, because compared to a mid-ranger, the amount that would buy a smaller flagship for its size is more than the amount that wouldn't buy it explicitly because of the size. Just make a smaller OnePlus 13 with same everything (besides battery capacity), and it would instantly sell better than whatever this is. Plus, you wouldn't really be competing with yourself either.

                        It's a great phone for the price, much better than the Pixel 9a and 16e both of which are heavily overpriced for what they offer
                        So the 13T is worth buying. Only that I recently bought a new smartphone and won't be switching too soon. But the 13t is a compelling choice. Great work by OP

                          As for 16GB RAM, the vivo has variants with that amount as well.

                            Yes the pixel devices have very good cameras, with long software support but I still don't like pixel devices + they are overpriced in my country.
                            But still it's your opinion and no one can change it.

                                Similar camera setup and size, but with less battery capacity, a less powerful CPU for the P9 Pro but with 16GB of RAM, a proper ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, fast USB 3.0, tough Victus 2 glass, UWB, vital Satellite SOS, Google's clean OS (or GrapheneOS), longer update support, and crucially, actual worldwide availability and support.

                                Importing the Vivo means paying same for less support, fewer flagship features, a shorter lifespan and zero resale value.
                                Seems like an easy choice unless you enjoy wasting money.
