Design
It is very hard to pick the best design between these two handsets: it depends on personal tastes. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a very attractive eco-leather variant, but the OPPO Find X2 is available in a ceramic version which is thinner and lighter than the Xiaomi Mi 11, as well as more compact. Another important detail: the OPPO Find X2 is splash resistant, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 does not offer any certification against dust and water. On the other hand, Mi 11 has the Gorilla Glass Victus protection which should make its glass back and its display sturdier. Both the phones come with a curved screen, but the screen-to-body ratio of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is slightly higher.
Display
Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X2 are very close even when it comes to the displays. Both feature an amazing Quad HD+ panel which shows up to one billion colors and offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the HDR10+ certification. It looks like the Mi 11 has a higher peak brightness with 1500 nits, but OPPO Find X2 guarantees a stunning image quality from every point of view. You will only get marginal differences, what really makes the difference is the display diagonal: on the Mi 11, it is 6.81 inches, while OPPO Find X2 has a 6.7-inch display. In both cases, you get an AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Specs & Software
The hardware department of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is more advanced than the hardware offered by the OPPO Find X2. You get a more powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 888 built at 5 nm, instead of the Snapdragon 865 found on the OPPO Find X2. The best Qualcomm’s SoC of 2021 is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Despite it is not fueled by the Snapdragon 888, the OPPO Find X2 remains one of the fastest flagships and guarantees amazing performance in every scenario. Both the flagship feature the same highest-end memory configuration: 12/256 GB, but the Mi 11 has a UFS 3.1 native storage instead of UFS 3.0.
Camera
On the paper, the OPPO Find X2 wins our camera comparison for a simple reason: it includes a telephoto sensor with optical zoom, while Xiaomi Mi 11 does not. You do not get the optical zoom with the Mi 11, but its 108 MP main camera is amazing in terms of photo quality. And it is even able to record 8K videos. But the OPPO Find X2 is an amazing camera phone as well. OPPO Find X2 wins even when it comes to the front camera, thanks to a 32 MP selfie snapper.
Battery
The Xiaomi Mi 11 packs a bigger 4600 mAh battery and it is able to guarantee a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios not only because of the bigger battery but also because its chipset is built at 5 nm and is more efficient than the Snapdragon 865. OPPO Find X2 has a faster wired charging technology with 65W power, while Mi 11 stops at 55W. But the OPPO Find X2 lacks wireless charging, while Mi 11 features both fast wireless charging (50W power) and reverse wireless charging.
Price
OPPO Find X2 has a listing price of €999/$1221 in the global market, while Xiaomi Mi 11 is still not global, so we do not know how much it will cost. In China, it starts at about €500/$611. At the end of the day, Mi 11 looks better in terms of hardware and battery, while the OPPO Find X2 is more compact and it features more interesting cameras. Which one would you pick?
