There’s an interesting thing happening in phones, a quiet trend of product differentiation. Likely a factor influenced by component shortages, and at the same time, a more competitive market than many enthusiasts might assume.
In the gadget lab, I have two phones from Vivo. They’re both called “X70 Pro”, but one is a “Pro” and the other is a “Pro+”.

Vivo has accomplished something impressive, that these two phones “FEEL” like members of the same family. That said, we do get to take a look at how these kinds of hardware differences can impact performance.
