Xiaomi lived very quiet until the arrival of Realme , with the Redmi range dominating the cheap mobile market. However, the young brand has been planted in the market to show that it is possible to launch better mobiles at a laughable price. The latest Realme C11, which makes the Redmi 9A shake, is the perfect example of this.
Both companies offer budget phones focused on offering key specs and good performance. However, as in any battle there can only be one winner and for this reason nothing better than comparing the two mobiles point by point to know which one is better to invest your money.
Realme C11 vs Redmi 9A
The Realme C11 features a 6.5-inch HD + screen , while the Redmi 9A comes with a slightly larger 6.53-inch HD + screen. They both use IPS panels and house the selfie camera in a dewdrop notch at the top center of the screen. With practically identical panels, the differences must be found elsewhere, such as inside.
A significant difference between the two devices is that the Realme option has a MediaTek Helio G35 processor , which is 300MHz faster than the Helio G25 chipset found in the Redmi 9A. The integrated IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU also operates at 30MHz higher in the Helio G35 so it is clear that the Realme C11 offers better performance. Point for the new mobile.
Both devices come with 2GB of RAM, which is enough to run most applications and while both devices come with 32GB of storage, the Redmi 9A can be expanded up to 512GB via a MicroSD card, while the Realme C11 it only supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB. Point for Xiaomi
At the camera level, both models are equipped with a 13MP main camera, but the Realme C11 has the advantage of having a 2MP secondary lens to improve blur in your portraits. In addition, the C11 allows you to work with a renewed Nightscape mode to take better photos at night. Again, another point for Realme that is 2 to 1.
These are the photos we managed to take with the Realme phone camera.
Its selfie cameras also have the same 5MP pixel count.
Other points in common that both phones have are at the level of connectivity and operating system. Both the Realme C11 and Redmi 9A offer 4G, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS. They also support the same ports, including a Micro USB for charging and data transfer and a 3.5mm audio jack. Both work with Android 10 with their respective layers of customization: Realme UI for the C11 and MIUI 12.
Although at the battery level the two phones mount a 5,000 mAh cell with 10 W fast charging support. The Realme phone offers better autonomy thanks to the cooling and energy optimization tools present in its software. Once again, point for Realme that it begins to distance itself 3 to 1.
What price do they have?
Technical tie at this point as the two smartphones from both manufacturers have a starting price of 99 euros for a 2 + 32 GB configuration.
Realme beats Xiaomi once again
For the same price, we can see that the advantages of the Xiaomi smartphone go through offering a greater capacity of MicroSD cards. Nothing else.
In return, the Realme C11 is flat on the market as the best mobile for less than 100 euros thanks to using a MediaTek Helio G35 chipset faster than that of its competitor, offering the user a double rear camera with the addition of a sensor of depth and better battery life.
When buying a mobile, what do you prefer? Better camera, battery and performance or more external storage. The decision is clear.
