Xiaomi and Samsung models are meant to be compared. Among all the models that they offer us, it is not easy to decide and to help you find the best one according to the price you want to invest, we have compared the models that within the entry range, mid-range and high range may interest us the most. Choosing a new mobile from the hand of two leading brands could not be easier.
Each of these companies has its own dominant, on the one hand Xiaomi usually chooses to lower prices to try to offer something more than the competition, but nevertheless Samsung does not offer superior quality. In each of the cases we find concrete differences that will make us keep one or the other mobile and we will be able to do it very easily.
Xiaomi Redmi 9 vs Samsung Galaxy M21
We begin by knowing the entry range, the reduced-price smartphones with sufficient features to make us enjoy our favorite content on social networks, applications and also with the capacity for undemanding games. When the budget is reduced for us, we have to take a good look at what we are going to buy and in this case the options that Xiaomi and Samsung present us are the best we can find. These are two models that have been presented a few months ago and that base their design on plastic, with a drop-shaped notch and modest performance.
What is the model that I should buy?
Looking at its features we have to highlight the camera equipment of the Samsung Galaxy M21 , a modest smartphone that is well prepared in photography, which would be its strong point with 48 Mpx and great versatility by including wide angle and portrait mode . Nor can we forget the battery, where the Samsung M21 offers us 6,000 mAh that together with One UI 2.1 will give us enough autonomy to get to the day more than enough.
In the price Xiaomi is the dominant one with the Redmi 9 for just 139 euros. A model that also has versatility in its lenses but with less remarkable results. MIUI 11 and soon MIUI 12 can be another incentive for those interested in getting the model, although in everything else the winner in this case is the Samsung model. The company has put the batteries in the most affordable models and here it has shown us.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S vs Samsung Galaxy M31
Taking a step up we find Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 9S against the Galaxy M31, two models that while being affordable offer us good performance. Xiaomi’s Redmi Note range wants to continue leading what is the intermediate point between low-end and mid-range with this series of devices, but Samsung for its part will not allow it easily.
The best option is …
Complicated to decide, because the two models are tied in many aspects such as plastic materials, although the Redmi Note 9S does offer a more innovative design with the camera in the shape of a hole. However, the AMOLED screen of the Samsung Galaxy M31 is superior to IPS and it is also more compact, with 6.4 inches which is a more manageable size. In processor and equipment the similarities are repeated, except that Xiaomi offers the popular Snapdragon 720G that so good results offers.
In configuration the RAM is higher in Samsung with 6 GB in its option of 64 GB and Xiaomi manages with 4 GB. The two smartphones have four cameras , but again Samsung and its 64 Mpx in the main sensor beat Xiaomi with 48 Mpx, in the selfie more of the same with 32 Mpx and 16 Mpx. In addition, Samsung with 6,000 mAh, NFC and audio jack has everything we need, things that Xiaomi forgets are the NFC and a smaller battery to stay at 5020 mAh despite having a larger panel. For all these reasons, we have to keep the Samsung option again, although in this case if we want to hold onto money, Xiaomi offers its model for 70 euros less and it is still a good option.
Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite vs Galaxy A51
In the mid-range the disputes continue, there are many options from both brands in this price range that already exceeds 200 euros by far, although two of the best exponents are the Mi Note 10 Lite and the Samsung Galaxy A51. Two models designed to conquer the public and they will make it very difficult for us to know which one we should decide on.
Price and memory matter a lot
We are facing two models that could well be the ideal phone for many users, their designs are the order of the day, especially the Galaxy A51 with that small hole in prenatal that allows us to take advantage of the AMOLED screen that the two models share . However, the cameras on this occasion are better in Xiaomi with that quadruple lens that offers 64 Mpx compared to 48 Mpx from Samsung with great versatility in both cases. The selfie camera is better for the A51 with 32 Mpx compared to 16.
In connectivity they are two well-equipped mobiles, with NFC, jack and Bluetooth among other things. The battery is finally superior in the Xiaomi model thanks to its 5260 mAh with 30W of power. Finally, the price and the configuration can make us change our minds between one and the other because Samsung lowers the price in its 128 GB version to 273 euros and this Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is more expensive with 320 euros. The decision is in our hands, as it will depend on whether we prefer more memory and that the mobile lasts longer or, on the contrary, the battery and Xiaomi camera attracts us enough.
Poco F2 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A90 5G
If what you want is a high-end model without leaving too much money, the options that we find in Xiaomi and Samsung are the ideal ones. In this case with the Xiaomi sub-brand and its Poco F2 Pro against the Galaxy A90, two models that make the leap to 5G hand in hand with processors as powerful as the Snapdragon 865 and the Snapdragon 855 respectively.
Which is the best?
We have seen that in performance by the processor there will be no problems, neither in connectivity but if we look at cameras the lenses of the Poco F2 Pro are better than the Samsung model thanks to the 64 Mpx with wide angle, depth lens and rather macro lens. On the battery, the Poco F2 Pro is also superior thanks to the 4700 mAh with a 30W load, which makes it practically impossible for any model to compete with it.
Finally, the price of 389 euros for this Xiaomi Poco model is unbeatable for the attractions that other brands can offer. This high-end demolition price has managed to become a fantastic option for very little money and we have no doubts about what we have to recommend on this occasion.
Xiaomi Mi 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S20
To finish with the comparisons, it is time for the high-end, on the one hand the renowned Xiaomi Mi 10 against the prominent Samsung Galaxy S20. They are models that have everything you need, powerful and different processors, on the one hand the Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865 as weapons to move everything and give the best performance for a long time.
The best is?
In this case, the decision is more complicated than we have seen so far, two models that integrate high-level AMOLED screens , RAM and memory options for all tastes and needs starting from 128GB and a series of cameras that hardly made mistakes. Xiaomi bets on higher megapixels thanks to its 108, but the Galaxy S20 integrates an optical zoom thanks to its telephoto lens that gives up to 30 increases in digital.
The battery of both also performs as the best thanks to the 4780 mAh and the 4,000 mAh of Xiaomi and Samsung respectively. Both with fast charging, on the one hand 30W and 25W, accompanied on both sides by wireless and reverse charging. The software will be very important to decide, depending on whether we prefer MIUI or better One UI , in both cases with Android 10 and the latest version of the layer.
To finance the prices they are also relevant because the Samsung model is for more than 750 euros in its version with 5G and meanwhile the Xiaomi Mi 10 is on Amazon for 649 euros. A notable difference that we will have to personally assess if Xiaomi is worth it or if, on the contrary, the value that One UI offers us, that telephoto camera and Samsung’s three-year update system is enough to win us over.
