Design

The design of the Realme GT Neo2 is slightly more attractive because it comes in original color variants such as the gradient NEO Blue and NEO Green with a black stripe reminding of a sports car. Further, it is a more compact phone and its camera module is less invasive. On the other hand, you can get a better build quality with the Xiaomi 11T: this handset has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant, and it also provides the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the display. Its design includes a glass back and an aluminum frame.

 

Display

If we talk about displays, then Xiaomi 11T is one step forward on the paper. Its AMOLED panel is able to show up to one billion colors providing the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a diagonal of 6.67 inches. The AMOLED panel found on the Realme GT Neo2 shows just 16 million colors and it is smaller with a diagonal of 6.62 inches, but unlike the Xiaomi 11T, it packs an in-display fingerprint reader (on the 11T, it is mounted at the side, on the power key). Both the phones feature stereo speakers providing great audio quality.

 

Specs & Software

If you are searching for the most powerful hardware, then you should choose the Realme GT Neo2. First of all, it has the most powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 870 running at 3.2 GHz and composed of Kryo CPUs and the Adreno 660 GPU. Further, it offers a higher quantity of RAM: up to 12 GB, while you get a max of 8 GB with the Xiaomi 11T. The Xiaomi flagship killer is equipped with a Dimensity 1200 chipset by Mediatek which is built with a better production process, but its performance is inferior. The phones run Android 11 with Realme UI and MIUI to customize it, respectively. They support 5G connectivity and WiFi 6; no expandable storage, but there is a dual SIM slot.

 

Camera

Realme GT Neo2 and Xiaomi 11T can be considered midrange camera phones, but the Xiaomi 11T is able to provide a better photo quality thanks to the main camera with a resolution of 108 MP. The Realme GT Neo2 has a 64 MP main camera which is definitely inferior and even an inferior macro camera (2 MP vs 5 MP). Despite the main camera of the GT Neo2 being less impressive, it is the only one that can record 4K videos at 60 fps.

 

 

Battery

The battery capacity of Realme GT Neo2 and Xiaomi 11T is exactly the same: 5000 mAh. But this does not mean they will guarantee the same battery life because they are equipped with different components. Fast charging should reach similar speeds as the powers are 65W and 67W, respectively.

 

Price

Realme GT Neo2 has a starting price of €449/$508 but it is available for just €369/$417 for the Black Friday period, while the street price of the Xiaomi 11T is currently €499/$565. Given the price difference, the Realme GT Neo2 offers a higher value for money besides a superior chipset, but the Xiaomi 11T is a slightly better phone overall.
