OnePlus has a new flagship and Xiaomi does too. The OnePlus 11 went official a few days ago as the only variant of the 11th series: there won’t be any Pro variant, the company already confirmed.

Design

The most refined design here belongs to the Xiaomi 13 Pro, even though it is not the most original one. The phone is made with a ceramic back and an aluminum frame, very premium materials (but there are also color options with a silicone polymer back, cheaper). It has a curved display with a very high screen to body ratio (close to 90 percent) and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Last but not least, its display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The materials of the OnePlus 11 are less impressive: it comes with a glass back, but the design is more original thanks to the presence of a circular camera module. Unfortunately, it does not offer any IP certification or other certified protection against water and dust.

Display

The displays of these two phones are very close to each other in terms of quality and specifications. The Xiaomi 13 has a 6.73-inch panel with OLED technology able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz thanks to LTPO technology, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,900 nits, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The OnePlus 11 has an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Xiaomi 13 Pro looks to have a slightly better panel.

Specs & Software

The hardware department of the OnePlus 11 is actually better than the one found on the Xiaomi 13 Pro. Both phones are fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform: the new flagship Qualcomm SoC. It is a chipset built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X3 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, two Cortex A715 CPUs, two Cortex A710 CPUs, three Cortex A510 CPUs, and an Adreno 740 GPU. The OnePlus 11 offers a higher amount of RAM: up to 16 GB, instead of just 12 GB. The internal storage of both phones goes up to 512 GB (UFS 4.0). The handsets run Android 13 out of the box, with highly customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

The best camera phone in this comparison is undoubtedly the Xiaomi 13 Pro. It has a triple rear camera with three 50 MP sensors including a main Sony IMX989 shooter with OIS, a telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera, as well as a 32 MP selfie snapper. With the OnePlus 11, you get a triple rear camera including a 50 MP Sony IMX890 main sensor with OIS, a 32 MP portrait lens with 2x optical zoom, an ultrawide 48 MP camera, and a 16 MP selfie shooter.

Battery

The OnePlus 11 is equipped with a bigger battery: 5000 mAh instead of 4820 mAh. But the Xiaomi 13 Pro charges quicker thanks to 120W fast charging and, unlike its rival, it supports wireless charging.

Price

You need at least $900/€844 to purchase the Xiaomi 13 Pro, while the OnePlus 11 starts from about $586/€550. The Xiaomi is superior, but the OnePlus flagship has a higher value for money. Which one would you pick?
