And not specific models, one could cherry pick models and show that either one is better.

Time for you to tell which models you are considering and why.

Don't make a mistake of buying Xiaomi. I have heard bad reviews from a lot of Xiaomi users. I have been using Vivo V3MAX for sometime and its still working fine. Plus, Vivo has very helpful after sales service.

Vivo is better than Xiaomi. Even Vivo is doing huge price cut in their phones may be they have already done it. Vivo's phone is preferable than Xiaomi as they are better in hardware and software.
