The OnePlus 9 is finally official and just like the previous years, it includes the vanilla OnePlus 9 and a Pro variant. The former is the device you actually need if you are searching for a great flagship but you want to save some money. It belongs to a segment that became a lot more important than top-tier flagships and it has a lot of rivals. Among the best ones in the global market, we got the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OPPO Find X3 Neo. In this flagship killers comparison, you will learn the differences between these three amazing devices.

Design

You should not go for the OnePlus 9 if you are looking for the best design. Despite it may be better in terms of usability, it lacks a curved display and it is less elegant than its two rivals. Due to the bigger dimensions of the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the lighter design of the OPPO Find X3 Neo, I actually prefer the OPPO Find X3 Neo built with premium material, sporting a display with curved edges. I also love its original color variants.

 

Display

The best display is the one provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11. Besides coming with a wider diagonal which is comfortable for power users, it has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels. Further, it has a very high 1500-nit peak brightness, it shows up to one billion colors, it has a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. The second place goes to the OnePlus 9, at least on the paper, due to its 120 Hz refresh rate (OPPO Find X3 Neo has just 90 Hz).

 

Hardware/Software

With the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OnePlus 9, you can get better hardware. They are both fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, actually the best chipset by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The OPPO Find X3 Neo has a weaker Snapdragon 865 which is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset of 2020, but the memory configuration is the same. You get three different user interfaces: the Xiaomi Mi 11 has MIUI, the OnePlus 9 comes with OxygenOS, and OPPO Find X3 Neo has ColorOS: all of them are great customized UIs.

 

Camera

The most advanced cameras belong to the OPPO Find X3 Neo. The OnePlus 9 has the best ultrawide sensor, but the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides a superior 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a telephoto sensor with optical zoom (which is not present on Xiaomi Mi 11 and OnePlus 9), and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has an amazing 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording capabilities but unfortunately is secondary sensors are pretty disappointing.

 

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 11 has a slightly bigger battery, but due to its higher resolution and wider display, it does not provide the longest battery life. The OnePlus 9 should be able to last more with its FHD+ smaller display and 5 nm chipset. OnePlus 9 and OPPO Find X3 Neo have faster wired charging technologies, while Xiaomi Mi 11 has faster wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Unfortunately, OPPO Find X3 Neo lacks wireless charging.

 

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OnePlus 9 vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X3 Neo carry a €799/$950 price tag in the global market, while the OnePlus 9 costs €699/$832. There is not a suitable winner for everyone in this comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display and wireless charging technology, and it is definitely superior to the OnePlus 9. But the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides the best camera department: for several people, it provides more value than a slightly better display/processor. Which one would you pick?
