1. Design
We evaluate the appearance and whether the devices are waterproofTraditionally, these devices are very similar to each other. Especially if you put them on the table face up. In this case, only Xiaomi 11 Lite can be singled out, since only in this device the front camera lens is located in the corner of the display, and not in the center.
Name | Dimensions | The weight |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | 160.5x75.7x6.8mm | 157 g |
Xiaomi Note 10 | 161.8x75.3x8.9mm | 190 g |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | 165.3x76.8x9.4mm | 215 g |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | 160.5x74.5x8.3mm | 179 g |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | 161.8x75.4x8.9 mm | 190 g |
The back of smartphones, of course, is different. But it cannot be said that the design of a particular model will definitely appeal to everyone. For example, Redmi Note 10T reflects sunlight well. But other people will like the surface of the back panel of the same Xiaomi 11 Lite more. Be that as it may, but in any case, plastic awaits you. Metal and glass are present only in much more expensive models. Here, only screens are covered with glass (the manufacturer opted for Gorilla Glass, which is not the latest generation).
Many people when buying a smartphone are guided by its weight. No one wants to carry in their pocket and hold any heavy device in their hands. Especially if he is also dressed in a case. Therefore, Xiaomi 11 Lite received a slightly higher score from us. Any other model could snatch victory if it had moisture protection.Alas, the maximum Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi declared the IP53 certificate, which only indicates the absence of fear of splashes.
2. Display
The main impressions received most of the time depend on the screenBasically, the smartphones that fell into our comparison have approximately the same dimensions. Only the Redmi Note 10S stands out, with a display diagonal of 6.43 inches. However, the screens of other models are larger by tenths of an inch. At the same time, they all have a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9.
Name | Display type | Diagonal | Permission | Frequency |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | AMOLED | 6.55 inches | 2400x1080 dots | 90 Hz |
Xiaomi Note 10 | IPS | 6.5 inches | 2400x1080 dots | 90 Hz |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | IPS | 6.67 inches | 2400x1080 dots | 120 Hz |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | AMOLED | 6.43 inches | 2400x1080 dots | 90 Hz |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | IPS | 6.5 inches | 2400x1080 dots | 90 Hz |
Most often, Xiaomi uses IPS panels in its devices. Unfortunately, AMOLED screens are found only in expensive models. But there are exceptions to the rule. In particular, the OLED display is built into Xiaomi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10S. Recall that such a screen pleases with deep blacks and low power consumption.
Gamers will most like the picture that Poco X3 gives out. The fact is that the display of this device has a 120-Hz refresh rate. Competitors are able to boast only a 90-Hz parameter. And not every game supports it - usually they make a choice exclusively between 60 and 120 Hz.
3. Components
We estimate the amount of memory, processor and other semiconductorsMost of the current Xiaomi smartphones are based on one or another MediaTek chip, since the products of this company are not very expensive. Our comparison shows this well. However, the crisis in the semiconductor market forced Xiaomi to look towards Qualcomm chipsets. Therefore, two devices from our selection can boast a Snapdragon 732G processor. This is a very powerful eight-core solution that can operate at a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz. Everything is in order with him and with a graphics accelerator, thanks to which games go without any slowdowns.
Name | Number of speakers | CPU | graphics accelerator | RAM | ROM | microSD |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | 2 | Snapdragon 732G | Adreno 618 | 8 GB | 128 GB | + |
Xiaomi Note 10 | 1 | MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G | Mali-G57 MC2 | 8 GB | 128 GB | + |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | 2 | Snapdragon 732G | Adreno 618 | 6 GB | 128 GB | + |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | 2 | Mediatek Helio G95 | Mali-G76 MC4 | 6 GB | 64 GB | - |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | 1 | MediaTek Dimension 700 | Mali-G57 MC2 | 4 GB | 128 GB | + |
Redmi Note 10 vs Xiaomi 11 Lite. They are the most difficult to compare, since both of them have a large amount of RAM. This means that these smartphones have the best performance when moving from one application to another. And it is also impossible not to note the fact that the permanent memory here belongs to the fairly high-speed UFS 2.2 standard.
The most sad emotions cause Redmi Note 10S. He received only 64 GB of permanent memory. At least, if we talk about its relatively inexpensive modification. But the biggest problem is that this device does not have a microSD card slot. This means that you will have to limit yourself to built-in storage. Competitors do not have such a disadvantage.
Note that all devices have a fingerprint scanner.And everywhere, unfortunately, you should look for it on the power button. Xiaomi rarely introduces this design element into the display.
4. Interfaces
Xiaomi smartphones have a large number of connectors and wireless modulesAmong our selection, Redmi Note 10 stands out more than the others. This model is the only one to have a 5G modem at its disposal. However, against the backdrop of recent events, this cannot be called a particularly significant advantage, since the development of fifth-generation networks in Russia is greatly slowing down.
If we talk about other wireless modules, then you will not notice much difference between smartphones. All devices have the fifth version of the "blue tooth". The devices have an NFC chip. They also connect to 802.11ac Wi-Fi networks without any problems. Also, the Chinese company Xiaomi has traditionally equipped its devices with an infrared transmitter, thanks to which the TV or some other equipment is controlled.
Name | Connectors | WiFi | Bluetooth | IR port | NFC |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | USB-C | 802.11ac | 5.1 | + | + |
Xiaomi Note 10 | 3.5mm USB-C | 802.11ac | 5.1 | + | + |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | 3.5mm USB-C | 802.11ac | 5.1 | + | + |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | 3.5mm USB-C | 802.11ac | 5.1 | + | + |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | 3.5mm USB-C | 802.11ac | 5.1 | + | + |
Many buyers are frankly infuriated by the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack. Flagships suffer from this problem. The smartphones we have chosen do not correspond to this status, and therefore most of them still support the connection of wired headphones without an adapter. And only Xiaomi 11 Lite received only USB Type-C at its disposal.
5. cameras
Since we have chosen not the most expensive smartphones, you should not expect impressive quality pictures from them.Poco X3 vs Redmi Note 10S, camera comparison. There are no significant differences between the two models in this respect. They use four modules. This means that model data can be used to create photos with blurred backgrounds. The main module of these devices has a 64-megapixel matrix. He doesn’t have much difference, since one is ready to boast a wider aperture, and the other a slightly larger physical size of the sensor. Xiaomi 11 Lite has a similar main module.
Each device has an ultra-wide-angle camera. The one that is built into the Poco X3 shoots best. As for the third module, you should not expect impressive features from it - its resolution is frankly ridiculous. For many buyers, the front camera is no less important. If you are one of those people, then we recommend looking towards the Poco X3. It has a 20-megapixel sensor at its disposal. Not too much inferior to him in this regard, and Xiaomi 11 Lite. However, in the dark, this device takes selfies a little worse, since it has a modest aperture.
6. Battery
How long battery life can you expect from these devices?Xiaomi is known for the fact that in the last two or three years it has been trying to significantly speed up the charging of its smartphones. This is especially noticeable when meeting with flagships. The models included in our selection belong to the mid-budget segment. But their batteries fill up with energy very quickly. Especially when it comes to Poco X3, Redmi Note 10S and Xiaomi 11 Lite.They support a 33-watt AC adapter, thanks to which charging lasts just over an hour.
Name | Battery | Charging power |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | 4250 mAh | 33 W |
Xiaomi Note 10 | 5000 mAh | 18 W |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | 5160 mAh | 33 W |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | 5000 mAh | 33 W |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | 5000 mAh | 18 W |
The least interest among buyers may cause Xiaomi 11 Lite. The fact is that the capacity of its battery is only 4250 mAh. But do not think that it will require the connection of the network adapter too often. Saves the AMOLED screen, which consumes not the largest amount of energy. Also, not everyone will be satisfied with the fact that Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10T only support 18-watt charging.
7. Price
The models included in our comparison have approximately the same price tag.Unfortunately, this material is being written at the moments of sad events on Ukrainian soil. In this regard, prices are rising rapidly, inflation is accelerating. However, this does not prevent us from rating, because the difference in cost between Xiaomi smartphones relative to each other will remain approximately the same.
Name | average price |
Xiaomi 11 Lite | 30 500 rub. |
Xiaomi Note 10 | 22 500 rub. |
Xiaomi Poco X3 | RUB 19,999 |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S | 20 500 rub. |
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T | 18 500 rub. |
The easiest way to buy Redmi Note 10S. It was possible to achieve a relatively low price tag due to the use of a cheap processor, the clock frequency of which does not exceed 2.05 GHz. However, even such a chipset is enough to run games. So it still makes sense to buy. As for the highest cost, Xiaomi 11 Lite has it. Is the minimum weight and large amount of memory worth the overpayment? It's up to you to decide.
8. Comparison results
In favor of which model should you choose?Acquaintance with relatively inexpensive devices from Xiaomi shows that these smartphones differ little from each other. One of them didn't get an FM radio. The other has a screen with a higher refresh rate. The third and fourth are ready to boast of faster charging. And all in the same spirit. That is why the average ratings of the devices we have chosen are very similar.
The best result in our comparison showed Poco X3. It is not surprising, because the Chinese manufacturer is actively promoting this sub-brand. He's not making any serious mark-ups yet. At the same time, devices from this series are able to boast a powerful processor and a good display, which is also true for the model we are considering. The Redmi Note 10S can also be a worthy choice. However, when buying it, you have to put up with a more modest chipset, less memory, and the inability to expand it via a microSD card. That is why we will not dissuade you from buying three other devices.
