Design

Do you prefer having a better design or better materials? If your answer is the first, then Samsung Galaxy M52 5G offers something more, in my honest opinion. It has a cleaner design with a camera module coming with the same color as the rest of the rear side. Further, it is a thinner and lighter phone than Redmi Note 11 Pro+. But the latter has a glass back just like premium phones, and its front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It is a bit more compact, but it is thicker and heavier than Samsung Galaxy M52 5G.

 

Display

The displays of the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus and the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G are more or less at the same level. They both come with the AMOLED technology and a Full HD+ resolution, as well as a high 120 Hz refresh rate. The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ adds the HDR10 certification which helps provide a higher image quality on streaming platforms, while the panel of the Galaxy M52 5G is dubbed Super AMOLED Plus due to its better image reproduction if compared to other AMOLED panels. Note that despite being AMOLED, these phones have a side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of an in-display biometric sensor. The audio provided by the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is louder thanks to its stereo speakers tuned by JBL, while Galaxy M52 5G has just a mono speaker.

 

Hardware/Software

Here we got a very interesting battle: Mediatek Dimensity 920 5G vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G. According to benchmarks, the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform found on the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G is slightly more powerful than the Dimensity 920 found on the Redmi Note 11 Pro+. On the other hand, you can get a higher amount of internal storage with the Redmi Note 11 Pro+: up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Given the marginal differences between the hardware departments, we believe the amount of storage is a more relevant detail if you need 256 GB. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with heavily customized user interfaces.

 

Camera

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is equipped with a better main camera: a 108 MP sensor that supports 4K video recording against the 64 MP main camera of its rival. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G has better secondary sensors: a 12 MP ultrawide camera (instead of just 8 MP) and a 5 MP macro camera (instead of 2 MP). Last but not least, the Galaxy M52 5G has a way better front camera with a 32 MP resolution.

 

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy M52 5G actually has a longer battery life simply because it packs a bigger battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Instead, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ has faster charging speeds thanks to 120W fast charging bringing the charge from 0 to 100 percent in just 15 minutes.

 

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus vs Samsung Galaxy M52 5G: Price

The starting price of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in the Chinese market is about €260/$300 (still not available globally), while you need  €400/$462 or more to purchase the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G globally. For some people, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is a more interesting handset because it provides faster charging and a better main camera, but for others the Galaxy M52 5G may be better due to its thinner and lighter design, bigger battery, better secondary sensors, and superior processor. Which one would you pick?
