A lot of 5G upper mid-range phones debuted in the second half of 2021, including brand new variants and new series of phones. Vivo T1 for example is the first phone from the Vivo T series, while Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is the first Pro+ variant from the Redmi Note lineup. But which phone is the most interesting in the upper-midrange segment? There are three very interesting choices and we decided to put them together in a specs comparison: OPPO Reno6 5G, Redmi Note 11 Pro+, and Vivo T1.

Design

Are you looking for the best and most original design? The answer is OPPO Reno6 5G. First of all, it has the best materials: the rear side is made of glass, while the frame is made of aluminum. Further, it has the OPPO Glow finish allowing for an opaque but brilliant glass back giving a very elegant and pleasing effect. The silver medal goes to Redmi Note 11 Pro+ sporting a glass back and a plastic frame. I do not like the Vivo T1 so much because it has a full plastic design and a lower screen to body ratio.

 

Display

On the paper, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ has the most advanced display. It is an AMOLED panel with a 6.67-inch diagonal, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10 certification improving the image quality on streaming platforms. The Vivo T1 has similar specifications but its panel is an IPS, which means less impressive colors if compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The OPPO Reno6 5G has an AMOLED display as well, but with a lower 90 Hz refresh rate and without the HDR10 certification. Note that OPPO Reno6 5G is the only one with an in-display fingerprint reader, while Redmi Note 11 Pro+ and Vivo T1 have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

 

Specs & Software

If you are searching for the best hardware, then you should opt for the Vivo T1 without thinking twice. It is fueled by the amazing Snapdragon 778G mobile platform built at 6 nm and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The second place belongs to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ with a Dimensity 920 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of native storage. The OPPO Reno6 5G has an inferior Dimensity 900 paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The phones run Android 11 with heavily customized UIs.

 

Camera

The most impressive camera setup on the front side belongs to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ which includes a 108 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. Both OPPO Reno6 5G and Vivo T1 come with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera, but the OPPO Reno6 5G has a brighter focal aperture for the main sensor and even a better selfie camera with a 32 MP resolution.

 

Battery

The phone with the biggest battery is the Vivo T1 sporting a capacity of 5000 mAh, but you should note that it has a less efficient IPS display, so it does not always guarantee the longest battery life. The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ wins the fast charging comparison with a power of 120W.

 

Price

The prices of Redmi Note 11 Pro+ begin at €260/$300 in China, Vivo T1 starts from €300/$347, and Reno6 costs about €350/$405. There is no definitive winner of this comparison and each device has its pro and cons: OPPO Reno6 5G has a better design and front camera, Redmi Note 11 Pro+ offers an advanced main camera and faster charging, and Vivo T1 has a bigger battery and superior hardware. Which one would you pick?
