Design

If you pick the Racing Yellow color variant of the Realme GT 5G, you get the most original design you can currently find on the flagship killer segment in the European market. The Realme GT 5G Racing Yellow comes with a leather back and an aluminum frame providing an amazing touch & feel and a solid grip, as well as very beautiful aesthetics. The Xiaomi 11T has a classic glass back paired with an aluminum frame and it is less impressive than Realme GT 5G in terms of design, but it features the IP53 certification thanks to which it is splash resistant and dust resistant. Further, it has the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for both the glass back and the display. Besides being more impressive, the Realme GT 5G is also lighter than Xiaomi 11T.

 

Display

On the paper, Xiaomi 11T has a superior display. First of all, it is wider with a diagonal of 6.67 inches. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors with a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. The color reproduction is definitely better than Realme GT 5G, but the latter comes with an in-display fingerprint reader, while Xiaomi 11T has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both the phones have an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.

 

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the most advanced hardware, then you should choose the Realme GT 5G. The Snapdragon 888 mobile platform is undoubtedly more powerful than the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 found on the Xiaomi 11T. Further, with the Realme GT 5G, you can get 12 GB of RAM, while the max amount of RAM provided by the Xiaomi 11T is 8 GB. The phones run Android 11 out of the box and will get at least two major updates to new Android versions. They support 5G and they also come with powerful stereo speakers.

 

Camera

The Xiaomi 11T is not a high-end camera phone, but it is still better than Realme GT 5G thanks to its superior 108 MP main camera. Further, it has a better macro camera with a 5 MP resolution, even though macro cameras are not very useful due to their low resolutions. With the Xiaomi 11T, you should get slightly better photos with a higher level of detail.

 

Battery

The battery became a very important aspect of flagship phones because they have a high energy consumption due to their powerful hardware and high refresh rates. The Xiaomi 11T provides a bigger 5000 mAh battery, while Realme GT 5G has a capacity of just 4500 mAh. The difference in terms of battery life is consistent, with the Xiaomi 11T providing a full day of battery life with a lot more usage patterns. Both the phones support very fast charging technologies with powers of 67W and 65W, respectively.

 

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 11T is €499/$571 for the 8/128 GB configuration, while the Realme GT 5G starts from €449/$515, but you can actually find it for €399/$457 thanks to online street prices. The Xiaomi 11T has a better display, as well as a superior camera and a bigger battery, while the Realme GT 5G offers a stronger hardware department and a more attractive design with a more affordable price. Which one should you go for? Both are amazing flagships and both carry amazing prices, so it is mostly a matter of tastes; whatever you choose, you will get an excellent user experience at great prices.
