The Motorola Moto G52 recently debuted in the Indian market after the previous launch in the European market with great specifications offered at a killer price. It is an amazing phone for those who do not need the 5G connectivity and want to save a lot of money while purchasing a new device. It is definitely one of the best competitors of the best-selling Redmi Note 11 by Xiaomi’s sub-brand. These two handsets have similar specs sheets, that is the reason why it is very hard to choose between them, especially for non-expert people. This comparison between the specifications of the Motorola Moto G52 and the Redmi Note 11 will clear your ideas in regards to the differences between these two devices.

Design

The design of the Motorola Moto G52 looks more suggestive because this phone is more similar to high-end devices in terms of aesthetics. Its rear side includes a camera island with the same color as the rest of the body, which is one of the main reasons why it looks so beautiful. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11 is a more compact phone and it features the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. And despite being smaller and having the same battery capacity, the Redmi Note 11 is almost as thin as the Motorola Moto G52. Both the phones have narrow bezels and a punch hole placed centrally.

 

Display

One of the strongest points of these two handsets if we consider their price range is the display. Despite being budget phones, they are equipped with great AMOLED displays showing bright colors and deep blacks. Further, they come with a Full HD+ resolution (with 1080 x 2400 pixels) and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The specifications of these two displays are more or less the same, but the diagonals are different: the Redmi Note 11 has a smaller 6.43-inch panel, while the Motorola Moto G52 comes with a 6.6-inch display. They are OLED panels, but the fingerprint reader is not embedded under the display: it is side-mounted on the power key. Both the handsets feature good stereo speakers and they include a 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Hardware/Software

With the Redmi Note 11 and the Motorola Moto G52, you get the same mobile platform: an octa-core Snapdragon 680 built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, without the 5G connectivity. But the highest-end memory configurations are different: the Redmi Note 11 gives you up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, while the Motorola Moto G52 stops at 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of non-UFS 2.2 native storage. You can expand the internal storage with a micro SD. However, there is an important pro of the Motorola budget phone: it ships with Android 12 out of the box, while the Redmi one comes with Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI 13.

 

Camera

If you are looking for a most complete rear camera setup, then you should go for the Redmi Note 11: it has the same 50 MP main sensor, the same 8 MP ultrawide camera, and the same 2 MP macro lens as the Motorola Moto G52, but it adds a 2 MP depth sensor. On the other hand, the Motorola low cost comes with a better selfie camera coming with a 16 MP resolution. Having a better selfie camera is definitely more important than having a 2 MP depth sensor.

 

Battery

These two phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Even fast charging technologies are similar: you get 33W fast charging and 30W fast charging, respectively. But the Redmi Note 11 should last a bit more on a single charge because it has a smaller display with lower energy consumption.

 

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 vs Motorola Moto G52: Price

You need at least Rs. 14,499 / $189 to purchase the Motorola Moto G52 in its base variant, and the Redmi Note 11 starts from the same listing price. So which one is the best? As you see, the differences are just marginal, so this is one of the few comparisons in which the result is a draw. Choose depending on your personal needs.
