Pros and Cons

Xiaomi Mi 11X

Strengths

The Xiaomi Mi 11X offers great performance with its Snapdragon 870 processor, capable of handling everyday tasks and delivering immersive gaming sessions.
The phone has a pleasant audio output even at high volumes, with an improvement in clarity that is immediately audible.
The device comes with MIUI 12 based on Android 11, offering a pretty much the same experience as other recent Xiaomi phones, including customizations and little premium touches.
The Mi 11X features a great 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz maximum refresh rate, support for HDR 10+, and a 1300-nit peak brightness rating.

Weaknesses

The camera quality isn't the main priority that went into developing this phone, with daytime images lacking in terms of dynamism and vibrance.
The device ships with MIUI 12 based on Android 11, but promotional notifications are still an issue, and customizations may not be enough to impress.
The camera app has a noticeable distortion at the edges of the frame when using the ultra-wide-angle camera.
While the phone's battery life is good, it's not spectacular, with an HD video loop test running for 17 hours 16 minutes, which might not be enough for some users.

realme narzo 50 Pro 5G

Strengths

The phone looks premium with a lightweight design, sleek edges, and a curved back that makes it easy to hold.
The AMOLED screen is a great feature with a 90Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits.
The mid-range processor handles day-to-day tasks smoothly, including gaming, and the battery life is excellent, lasting a full day with normal usage.
The camera setup is impressive, with good dynamic range, accurate colors, and plenty of details in images captured by the primary sensor.

Weaknesses

The phone has too many pre-installed apps that cannot be uninstalled, making for a disappointing experience and cluttering up the home screen.
The audio quality is not mentioned as being anything special, aside from it being loud and clear when using the dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.
The rear panel is made of plastic and has a Kevlar texture that may be prone to fingerprint smudges.
The phone's performance would have been better if there were less third-party applications or if users were given the option to uninstall them all.

Xiaomi Mi 11X

The Xiaomi Mi 11X is a strong contender in the upper mid-range smartphone market in India. Priced starting at ₹29,999, this phone offers impressive performance, thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, which is currently the second most powerful processor in the Snapdragon lineup. The phone comes with two variants: one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and another with 8GB of RAM and the same amount of space. Xiaomi's use of UFS 3.1 storage and LP DDR5 ram ensures smooth performance for average everyday tasks as well as immersive gaming sessions. The Mi 11X handled major titles such as COD Mobile and Asphalt 9 Legends with ease, and audio output was a pleasant surprise even at high volumes. The phone's score on Antutu 9 was marginally higher than the OnePlus 9R, indicating its capabilities. While the design is subtle, it has eye-catching elements that make it compelling, with a glossy finish at the back adding to the premium look. However, this also invites smudges. The phone is dust and water-resistant up to IP53 standards and features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and rear. The camera module on the rear is noticeable but not especially attention-grabbing. The primary camera takes good photos in daylight, while portrait mode performs well too. However, photo quality lacks dynamism and vibrance, and nighttime images can be murky with noise. Overall, the Mi 11X is a feature-rich phone that offers impressive performance, a great screen, decent cameras, and several premium touches. While it may not be an all-rounder, it's a strong contender in its price segment, making it a good choice for those who prioritize performance above other features.
