Comparison Between Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Realme X50 Pro

High-end mobiles increasingly offer us more possibilities for a lower price and that is something that has a lot to do with the Xiaomi and Realme brands. Both manufacturers have really adjusted options in terms of price and performance, making it very difficult for us to choose our new mobile, as for example with these two options that we are going to compare, the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Realme X50 Pro .

Although the Mi 11 has been the last to arrive and the Realme X50 Pro has been on the market for several months, the possibilities of both smartphones make us place them on the same level. This makes the choice between one model or the other more complicated, since both are the best of each brand and currently have a significantly differentiated price.

The difference may be on the screen

We are faced with two mobiles with very good screens, where they share Amoled technology but which nevertheless differ in resolution. On the one hand, the Mi 11 exceeds the Realme X50 Pro in resolution and refresh rate , with a WQHD resolution compared to the Full HD + resolution of the Realme model. The Mi 11’s refresh rate is 120Hz with a 240Hz sampling that again surpasses the Realme with 90Hz and 120Hz in sampling.

The dimensions of the screen also change, with a larger panel on the Xiaomi Mi 11 ; its 6.81 inches against the 6.44 inches of the Realme X50 Pro model. The Mi 11 also has the most advanced protection in its glass, Corning Gorilla Glass 7 and in turn the Realme protects it with version 5 of the same system. Their designs are very careful and worked, although Xiaomi’s focuses on materials such as glass and metal, while Realme combines polycarbonate and glass.

Power in abundance in both

Inside both smartphones we run into processors signed by Qualcomm although there is a change in model, the Xiaomi Mi 11 chip is the most powerful and the Realme X50 Pro maintains the Snapdragon 865. The difference in performance may make us prefer to take a leap quality, which is accompanied by UFS 3.1 memory for Xiaomi while Realme maintains 3.0.

The RAM of both is LPDDR5 RAM with similar memory options , as both can be found with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory, other options of 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of memory and a single option of 12 GB + 256 GB in the Realme X50 Pro. In neither case can a MicroSD be used to expand the memory, but they do include cooling to try to keep the device from getting hot when charging or playing games.

Cameras with big differences

The photographic section leaves us with serious doubts in the decision of a winner in this section, since the options are very different. Starting with the main sensor, the Realme X50 Pro has 64 Mpx that are surpassed by the 108 Mpx of the Mi 11, although however the Realme X50 Pro has telephoto lenses and Xiaomi does not , thus achieving a better result in what is further away. Both offer a 13 Mpx wide angle on Xiaomi and 8 Mpx on Realme, which in the latter case is also used as a macro. Xiaomi adds an extra lens for the 5 Mpx macro and a more than 2 Mpx lens for Realme in black and white to improve the information it captures.

The front cameras are also different, since Xiaomi has a front lens in the shape of a hole with 20 Mpx and the Realme X50 Pro includes two also with a hole, one with 32 Mpx and another wide angle for group selfies with 8 Mpx. As for the video, the Realme X50 Pro lacks an optical image stabilizer , with only electronic that will be widely noticed in the videos. The video capabilities on both are these:

Xiaomi Mi 11:

  • 8K at 30 fps
  • 4K at 30 / 60fps
  • 1080p at 30 / 60fps
  • 720p at 30fps
  • Slow motion video: 480 fps

Realme X50 Pro:

  • 8K at 30 fps
  • 4K at 30 / 60fps
  • 1080p at 30 / 60fps
  • 720p at 30fps
  • Slow motion recording: 960 fps

Battling batteries and connectivity

In the connectivity of both models we can not put many drawbacks, since they integrate 4G and 5G connectivity . They also offer GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and Galileo. They also have NFC for mobile payments on both phones, Bluetooth 5.1 on the Realme and 5.2 on the Mi 11. Only the Xiaomi model allows two SIM cards at the same time. Both have the fingerprint reader under the screen.

Its batteries are quite different, with the Realme X50 Pro beating Xiaomi in fast charging and the Mi 11 with a higher capacity meanwhile . The combinations are the following: Realme with 65W of power and 4200 mAh, before the 55W of power of Xiaomi and its 4600 mAh. Only Xiaomi offers reverse charging and wireless charging.

Android 11 and the last layer of customization

We cannot fault these models in software, since Realme has quickly updated its model with Android 11 and Realme UI 2.0, so that the Mi 11 has already been serialized with Android 11 and MIUI 12.5. Both layers are the most complete and it will be a matter of taste that we decide on Xiaomi with its many options or Realme pro that is somewhat lighter and lighter but with fewer standard options.

Prices and purchase recommendation

Now that we know all the characteristics, differences and similarities of the two mobiles, it is time to know their prices. On the one hand, the Realme X50 Pro with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory stands at 460 euros and the newcomer Mi 11 with the same option does it at 749 euros. A price difference to consider with everything they have in common and what they don’t.

Looking at all the points and its price, we have to seriously think about the Realme X50 Pro , since although we lose some advantages, its price of 60 euros is very tempting. On the contrary, if we want an optical image stabilizer, a bigger battery and a better screen, the Mi 11 for its price is still a great option.
