Has the Google Pixel 6a found a worthy opponent with the Xiaomi 11T?

The mid-range phone market is becoming increasingly competitive. Offering a phone for less than €500 requires the manufacturer to optimize performance, but this often makes it possible to attract a wider clientele. And in this area, if there is one that supplants the competition, it is Google and its Pixel 6a.

Undefeated in all the duels in which he participated, the Californian smartphone seems invulnerable. But a challenger from China comes to challenge him for this crown: the Xiaomi 11T. The Asian brand is also used to reigning over the realm of entry and mid-range, so we put the Pixel 6a and the Xiaomi 11T face to face.

Xiaomi for the outside, Google for the inside

According to our expert, the Xiaomi 11T initially manages to win the battle for the screen thanks to its 6.6-inch Amoled panel and its refresh rate superior to that of Google. Of a more modest size of 6.1 inches, the Oled screen of the latter is less convincing, despite an HD + definition common to both models.

But the toughest battle takes place at the heart of the devices, in terms of performance. On the Mountain View side, we use clean technology with the Google Tensor chip, when Xiaomi is betting on a Dimensity 1200 5G chip. If the two phones manage to provide an average of 60 i / s, it is on the grounds of multitasking and gaming that victory is decided. Google manages to do a little better than its competitor, and wins this round in a pocket handkerchief.

Precisely, your pocket will have to be large and solid if you want to accommodate the Chinese phone there, larger than that of its opponent. It is especially at the level of the weight that one feels the difference. When the Pixel displays 173 g on the scale, the 11T easily exceeds the 200 g mark.

And the photo part was decisive

If the battle seemed tough so far, it was without counting on the key element at Google: the photo. It’s simple, in this area and this price range, no manufacturer equals the Californian giant. The same is true in this duel, where the Pixel 6a defeats its Chinese counterpart.

Finally, if the Xiaomi 11T has fought well, even winning in some battles, the medal still goes to the Google Pixel 6a, which is decisive in many areas. For more details on this telephone confrontation, find the complete article of the Digital.
