Deciding on a new smartphone can be a complicated task where we have to compare, analyze and find out by all means which mobile is best for us. In order to make it as easy as possible on our site we compare the phones that face directly and which can be a good purchase option, finding on this occasion the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the OPPO Find X2 , two of the best phones of the year.
With the intention that you make the best purchase possible, we are going to differentiate the parts of both smartphones by elements, knowing all the details they offer us. Finally, we will know their prices and we will come to the conclusion on which would be the best purchase taking into account all its aspects, although your opinion also counts and especially your needs.
Which layout and screen is better?
There is no doubt at first glance that we are facing two of the best built models of the moment, although it is true that the OPPO Find X2 has more premium materials by including glass and ceramic, leaving the Xiaomi Mi 10 in only glass. Regarding the design, we can see that both opt for a screen hole in one of the corners and the classic vertical model in the back.
For the screen, Amoled technology commands in both cases, although the resolution of the OPPO mobile is higher with WQHD + and we only have Full HD + in Xiaomi. In other characteristics of the screen, the Xiaomi Mi 10 is also surpassed by the balanced mobile from OPPO. The refresh rate is 120 Hz and that of the Mi 10 stays at 90 Hz, the same happens with the tactile response, reaching 240 Hz and 180 Hz respectively. Screens that do not change much in size and are 6.7 inches and 6.67 inches with HDR 10+ and high pixel density.
The best processor and the best equipment
There will be no lack of details inside either, where the Snapdragon 865 processor is in the OPPO and Xiaomi mobile phones . A processor that is accompanied by the latest and best memory technology such as UFS 3.0 storage and LPDDR5 type RAM. If we are interested in any of them we should know that inside the Xiaomi Mi 10 we have 8 GB of RAM with 128 or 256 GB of memory. Meanwhile the OPPO offers us a superior configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB or 12 and 256 GB of memory.
Which cameras are better
Turning to the photographic team, these two models are very well prepared and we may have doubts. On the one hand, the Xiaomi Mi 10 has 108 Mpx that offer maximum detail but the OPPO Find X2 offers us 48 Mpx from Sony that will not be far behind. The second lens is the wide angle for Xiaomi where its 13 Mpx does not compete with the 13 Mpx of the telephoto lens of the OPPO Find X2, followed by a portrait mode on the 2 Mpx Mi 10. The last lens for the OPPO Find X2 is 48 Mpx that works as a wide angle and also macro, based on artificial intelligence, to which Xiaomi adds another 2 Mpx lens.
If we want photographic diversity, the OPPO Find X2 would win by including the telephoto lens and offering us, among other things, a zoom of up to 20 increases. At the front we have again the winner in OPPO for its 32 Mpx against Xiaomi’s 20 Mpx. Regarding video recording, both cases seem identical, opting for the optical stabilizer and video up to 8K.
Battery and connectivity
The two models include everything you need, starting with 5G connectivity, Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC. None of them keep the audio jack and Xiaomi adds the infrared sensor. As for the batteries, the 4,200 mAh of the OPPO Find X2 will reach the day and charge in less than an hour thanks to the 65W of power. Xiaomi is not far behind and with its large 4,780 mAh battery and its 30W fast charge we will also enjoy one of the best batteries for also having wireless and reverse charging.
MIUI 12 vs ColorOS 11
The Android version in both cases started with Android 10 but we hope that it will be updated with Android 11. As for the customization layers, we are facing two very different because Xiaomi maintains a more Asian style with many options, sometimes too many. On the other hand, OPPO also offers customization but in a lighter way so that its layer looks more like Android stock and makes speed, above all, a key point.
Prices and purchase recommendation
At the prices we find a big change because Xiaomi has lowered the prices a lot to 549 euros for its version of 8 + 256 GB of memory. On the contrary, OPPO offers us the OPPO Find X2 with 12 + 256 GB of memory in addition to high-quality speakers for 999 euros. An important price difference where we must value many things.
If there is any feature such as the screen, the customization layer or the cameras that we are very interested in, the outlay for the OPPO Find X2 together with the headphones is justified, although if we do not need something so premium, the money that we can save by buying the Mi 10 can also be successful. We will have to put on a scale those characteristics that we do or if we want so that the mobile lasts as long as possible.
