After the presentation of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, officially in the Chinese market, it is time to see if there has really been a relevant improvement over its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. So in this comparison we will face each one of the characteristics of these terminals and in a very detailed way.
If in 2020, the Mi 10 Pro managed to be crowned as the mobile with the best camera on the market, it seems that the new member in the Mi family is coming to take first place in this competition.
Design and screens
If we begin to compare their external appearance and design, we find a series of smartphones created with the best materials and that bet on glass screens , a trend that is being repeated in the Chinese company. And as usual, this range includes the TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, HDR10 + and Dolby Vision technology with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus scratch protection. Even adding IP68 protection against water and dust, as well as steam chamber cooling.
If we look at the size of the AMOLED screen of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, we can see how it reaches 6.67 inches in a Full HD + resolution. Instead, the screen of the Mi 11 Pro remains exactly the same as that of the Mi 11, with a size of 6.81 inches at a 2K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, compared to the 90Hz of its competitor. However, it is true that their screens and bodies are similar in aesthetics, but not in size and resolution.
In addition, the rear screen of the new Xiaomi Mi Pro version is designed to be able to see ourselves while taking photos with the rear cameras, in addition to managing and controlling notifications.
A great rivalry in your processor
And how could it be otherwise, since many were waiting for it, the new Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro brings with it the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which debuted with the Mi 11, it is also the main performance manager of the Pro version of the Mi 11 So it does not leave any surprise in terms of its processor and performance. It is also accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of memory or 12 GB + 256 GB, with LPDDR5 RAM technology and UFS 3.1 storage to offer greater speed.
And on the part of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, the equipment it presents has lagged somewhat behind but not much. Well, it comes integrated with 8 or 12 GB of LPDDR5 type RAM and is completed with 256 or 512 GB of storage. Although without the possibility of expanding through Micro SD, something that has been common in mobile phones from the high-end Chinese manufacturer.
The best cameras
The cameras of these two Xiaomi phones have a lot to say, since they have possibly one of the best photographic equipment on the market, always with permission from Samsung and Apple. If we start with the rear camera of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, we highlight its 108 Mpx f / 1.6 aperture , while the Mi 11 Pro has 50 Mpx with a superior aperture of ƒ / 1.95 under the Samsung GN2 sensor. And if we look at the video recording of both smartphones, we can reach up to 8K, although in the new Pro model we can benefit from inauto laser focus with slow motion of up to 1920 fps. All a technology that will make us opt for one mobile or another.
If we continue to analyze both cameras, we will get to the second lens. In the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro we will find that its 20 Mpx wide angle, somewhat higher than that of its rival. Since the wide angle of the Mi 11 Pro is 13 Mp , although it may also surprise us. In the third lens of both, we find the telephoto lens. In the Mi 10 Pro it is 1 Mpx with the possibility of reaching a 10X hybrid zoom, unlike the 8 Mpx of the new Xiaomi Pro model. In addition to being used as a telephoto lens, it can be used as a macro. But the highlight of this third camera is in the distance, since it will allow us a 50x digital zoom. And if we go to the front of both terminals, we will have 20 Mpx aperture f / 2.0 for our selfies.
Battery and Connectivity
The section of the battery is very similar, since both have a powerful battery that is greater in the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro with its 4,500 mAh , compared to the battery of the Pro of the Mi 11 that is 5,000 mAh, another superior characteristic than the they differ a lot. As for fast charging, the first one has 50W, while the new model has 68W fast charging. One detail, which is similar in both, is that they come equipped with wireless and reversible charging that gives them all the possibilities.
The two terminals bring with them 5G technology, although we found the odd little difference in some connections. In the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro it has a fingerprint reader on the screen, NFC, GPS GLONASS and Bluetooth 5.0, while the next generation Pro incorporates WiFi 6+, Bluetooth 5.2, infrared sensor, NFC and dual-band GPS. In addition, a double stereo speaker with Harman Kardon technology is integrated. Something that makes up for the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack .
Price and availability of the Mi 10 Pro and Mi 11 Pro
When choosing one or the other to buy, doubts are very widespread when faced with two smartphones that offer us the best. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is not officially, although we will detail the prices later. On the other hand, if we want to buy the previous version of the Mi Pro, we can find it on Amazon for 994.04 euros.
