In 2021 there are a lot of flagships with non-excessive prices, not only in China but even in the global market. Among these, we got the first-ever flagship from the Moto G series by Motorola. We are talking about the Moto G100, recently launched in Europe with a great price tag and flagship-class hardware department. Xiaomi came up with a flagship killer as well in the last period: the Xiaomi Mi 11i. This year, Europe got two flagships from the OPPO Find X series: besides the expensive Find X3 Pro, the company decided to also bring an affordable flagship globally: the OPPO Find X3 Neo. Here is a comparison between three of the most interesting affordable flagships out there: Moto G100, Xiaomi Mi 11i, and OPPO Find X3 Neo.

Design

The best design is definitely the one of the OPPO Find X3 Neo. It is the only one with a curved display, it is very thin and lightweight, and it is built with better materials: glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. In case you missed it, the OPPO Find X3 Neo is a rebrand of the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ that is the most powerful handset in the Reno series. The Xiaomi Mi 11i and the Motorola Moto G100 are built with cheaper materials and their designs are less attractive. The Xiaomi Mi 11i provides the IP53 certification making it dust and splash resistant, while the Motorola Moto G100 has a water repellent surface.

 

Display

On the paper, it looks like the best display is provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It has a higher peak brightness and a higher refresh rate with up to 120 Hz. But we are not sure it is really the best display: we did not compare the AMOLED panel of the OPPO Find X3 Neo directly to the Mi 11i, but we found out it is an amazing panel in terms of color reproduction. The Motorola Moto G100 loses the display comparison due to an IPS panel with worse color reproduction and lower brightness.

 

Hardware/Software

If you need the best phone in terms of the hardware department, then you should opt for the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It is powered by the most powerful processor by Qualcomm: the Snapdragon 888 paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. With the OPPO Find X3 Neo you get more RAM (12 GB), but it has an inferior chipset: the 2020 flagship Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The Motorola Moto G100 sits in the middle with a Snapdragon 870 which is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 865. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with the Moto G100 providing a nearly-stock Android experience, while the other two have customized user interfaces.

 

Camera

The best camera phone is the OPPO Find X3 Neo and it is close to flagship camera phones. It comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Xiaomi Mi 11i remains an interesting camera phone with its 108 MP main camera and 8K video recording, while Moto G100 is the most interesting selfie phone thanks to a dual ultrawide front camera with 16 + 8 MP resolutions.

 

Battery

The Moto G100 has the biggest battery and, despite its IPS display, it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X3 Neo wins the fast charging comparison with a 65W power.

 

Motorola Moto G100 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11i has a €649/$773 starting price, Moto G100 costs €599/$714 in its base variant, and OPPO Find X3 Neo costs €799/$952. The winner of the comparison is the OPPO Find X3 Neo due to its better camera, great design, and amazing overall specifications, but the Xiaomi Mi 11i has a better hardware department and Moto G100 a higher value for money.
