There are many mobiles that claim the “flagship killer” label , but few actually carry that DNA. A terminal that wants to boast of being one, must compete with high-end devices and launch itself on the market at a much more attractive price. For that reason, today we wanted to make a comparison between the new realme GT Master Edition and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G. Which of the two is the true “flagship killer”?
The competition between the different manufacturers is becoming very tense, something that causes users to be the great beneficiaries of these commercial battles. Xiaomi was practically free of rivals until Realme landed in Europe at the end of 2019. With this arrival, Xiaomi had in front of a very powerful rival capable of snatching the throne of the quality / price ratio. If we look closely at the new Realme GT Master Edition and the Mi 11 Lite 5G , we can see how this circumstance materializes.
The screen is key and it really knows me
If we take a look at the screen of both terminals, we find a size of 6.43 inches in the Realme GT Master Edition and 6.55 inches in the Mi 11 Lite 5G. Although both have Full HD + resolution, only the realme device offers a refresh rate of 120 Hz and 1,000 nits of brightness, double that of its rival, which also has a rate of 90 Hz. This difference makes the realme GT Master Edition is quite possibly the best screen in its price segment.
You don’t play with performance
The performance of a mobile is the cornerstone of the user experience. It is imperative that everything goes smoothly, being able to have powerful multitasking and play the best games on the market. In this sense, the realme GT Master Edition claims to be the first smartphone on the market to have the new Snapdragon 778 5G processor , arriving at a time when the global shortage of chips is a fact.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G has the Snapdragon 780G , so both devices perform well in the mid-range and will have no problem to carry out any task fluently. We found an important difference in the RAM and storage memory, since the realme GT Master Edition can be ours in versions of 128/256 GB of storage with 6/8 GB of RAM . The Mi 11 Lite 5G is found in a single version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
They lead the 64 megapixels
In the cameras section, we find a triple rear camera on both devices, leading a 64 megapixel main sensor in both cases. We also find ultra-wide-angle and macro sensors on both models. If we take a look at the selfie camera, we see that it is housed in a hole in the screen of the two devices. However, it reaches 32 megapixels in the realme GT Master Edition, staying at 20 megapixels in the realme.
When the hardware is similar, the optimization that each manufacturer does after pressing the fire button comes into play. In the case of the realme GT Master Edition, robust multi-frame reconstruction algorithms have been built in that will automatically go through various processes , delivering the best photos even in night landscapes. In video recording, the two terminals can capture in 4K resolution at 30 fps.
Connections and battery
In these times, even mid-range devices must already have 5G. Both the realme GT Master Edition and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite have this capability. In addition, they have other important connections such as NFC, GPS and USB-C. However, there is a beastly difference between the two devices in the battery section. The realme device has 4,300 mAh compared to the 4,250 mAh of the Xiaomi mobile. So far so good, until we see that the fast charge of the realme GT Master Edition is 65W compared to 33W of its rival . This means that the mobile can charge 100% of its battery in just 33 minutes.
There are important elements that can make a difference and make a user lean towards one model or another. In the case of the realme GT Master Edition, we must highlight the care in the design that the company has put. For this, it has been the famous Japanese designer Naoto Fukusawa who has left his mark on this mobile, trying to give a unique and different design to the device.
The price of a flagship killer
It is not necessary to reach 400 euros to proudly wear the label of “flagship killer” or killer-giants. In this case, neither device crosses this line, which Realme manages to speed up better than its rival. The realme GT Master Edition starts at 349 euros , while the Mi 11 Lite 5G has an official price of 399 euros. Given the technical differences between the two models, everything indicates that this new “sweetie” in Xiaomi’s shoe called realme, takes the battle of the “flagship killer”, at least this time …
