Huawei Nova 4e debuted in China and in a few days it will launch in the global market under the Huawei P30 Lite moniker. That is why it will probably be the Huawei’s midrange phone that will catalyze most of the attention in this first half of 2019. Just like the Redmi 7 Pro by Xiaomi which comes with upper-midrange specifications at a very affordable price. Alongside these handsets, another device with an excellent quality-price ratio launched in the Chinese market recently is the Oppo F11 that comes with impressive cameras and long battery life. In this comparison, you will learn which of these three devices should be the most satisfying.

Design

I personally think that Huawei P30 Lite is the most attractive phone when it comes to aesthetics. It sports an elegant glass back and it is also the thinnest device of this comparison, as well as the most compact one thanks to its smaller display. We even got very narrow bezels around the display and a small dewdrop notch. Right after, there is the Redmi Note 7 Pro with a catchy gradient back made of glass and protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It comes with thicker bezels, but it has a very nice build quality and it is water resistant, according to the company. Even though it has a very high screen-to-body ratio, Oppo F11 takes the last place due to its less attractive plastic body.

 

Display

All of these phones come with an LCD display, but Oppo F11 offers something more. It comes with the advanced LTPS technology as well as a bigger size that makes it more suitable for productivity, multimedia, and gaming. The resolution is exactly the same and the color reproduction is similar as well, so you will not notice important differences between these panels. You may need to know that Huawei Nova 4e and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro have a slightly smaller U-shaped notch instead of a V-shaped one like the Oppo F11.

 

Specs & Software

If you want to get the best performance with the fastest and smoothest device, go for the Redmi Note 7 Pro without thinking twice. Its Snapdragon 675 chipset is a very powerful beast and it comes with a pretty nice GPU that performs well even in demanding gaming scenarios. If you do not like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, then go for the Oppo F11 as it still comes with an upper-midrange SoC and it offers a longer battery life. In terms of performance, Huawei Nova 4e is more or less like the Oppo F11. In each case, you get a highly customized user interface based on Android 9 Pie.

 

Camera

It is hard to establish which camera is the best as the camera performances of these devices vary depending on the scenario. Huawei Nova 4e is definitely the most interesting one because it comes with a triple camera including an ultrawide sensor and a stunning 32 MP selfie camera. However, the rear department of the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Oppo F11 is still pretty good as it includes a 48 MP main camera which provides a very high level of detail and good photos even in low light conditions. The rear cameras of the Redmi Note 7 Pro are slightly superior to the ones on the Oppo F11 but I would go for the Huawei Nova 4e due to its ultrawide sensor and good stabilization.

 

Battery

Huawei Nova 4e loses this comparison due to its smaller 3340 mAh battery, while it is a hard fight between Redmi Note 7 Pro and Oppo F11. The former is better on more scenarios thanks to its very efficient 11 nm chipset, a smaller display, and outstanding software optimization, but the differences in battery life are not so noticeable compared to the Oppo F11.

 

Price

You can get the Redmi Note 7 Pro for just €200 in China, while Huawei Nova 4e and Oppo F11 cost about €270. Overall, Redmi Note 7 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its higher value for money, big battery, and very performing hardware department.
