If you are a gamer or a power user and you are searching for a phone offering you the highest performance at the most affordable price, you have several choices in 2022. Among these, if you live in China, there is Redmi Note 11T Pro. It is very affordable but its performance is comparable to the ones found on flagships. Another amazing handset in the same price range with an amazing hardware department is the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, which is the second device from the brand new Ace series from OnePlus (borrowed from OPPO which killed this series years ago). These two devices are very similar and it may be hard to understand which one to choose, especially with similar prices. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Redmi Note 11T Pro and the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition.

Design

Even though it is a pretty elegant phone, the Redmi Note 11T Pro does not come with an original design. It looks like the handsets from the Xiaomi 12 series with a camera module sporting the same color as the rest of the body. Unfortunately, it is not made with premium materials: it is entirely made of polycarbonate (with the exception of the display, obviously) but it is protected against dust and water thanks to the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has a more original design, even though not everyone may like it. It comes with a thinner body but slightly bigger dimensions because of its thicker bezels around the display. It is made of polycarbonate too and it does not offer any certification against water and dust.

 

Display

The Redmi Note 11T Pro has a display with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels, the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Unfortunately, it is an IPS LCD panel and not an AMOLED one, but it still provides great image quality. Further, it even provides the smoothest viewing experience thanks to its very high refresh rate. It is definitely the best display of this comparison. The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has an IPS display too, with a diagonal of 6.59 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. In both cases, the displays are good for gamers thanks to the high refresh rate. Both the handsets are equipped with stereo speakers and side-mounted fingerprint readers for authentication.

 

 

Specs & Software

The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition comes with the most advanced hardware setup. It is powered by an octa-core Mediatek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. This hardware department has nothing to envy to the most expensive flasghips out there, even though its processor can actually be compared to the Snadpragon 888 and not to the latest Qualcomm and MediaTek flagship chipsets. The Redmi Note 11T Pro is fueled by the Dimensity 8100 chipset by MediaTek: it is the same as the Dimensity 8100 Max, but with inferior AI performance. But the Redmi device has just 8 GB of RAM in its most advanced configuration. These devices run Android 12 out of the box with highly customized user interfaces on top.

 

Camera

On the camera side, these handsets are almost identical. They come with a 64 MP main camera (a midrange-class sensor), an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. The main camera is able to record 4K videos at 30 fps and the front camera has a resolution of 16 MP and supports 1080p video recording. The camera departments do not differ, but the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition should be able to shoot better photos in several scenarios thanks to better algorithm, as well as a brighter focal aperture for the main camera.

 

Battery

There is not much difference between the battery capacities of these two handsets, but the battery of the Redmi Note 11T Pro is slightly bigger with a capacity of 5080 mAh. However, the software will play an important role when it comes to battery life. Both the phones support 67W fast charging.

 

Price

Currently, the Redmi Note 11T Pro and the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition are only available in the Chinese market. We still do not know when the former will hit the global shelves, but it will be soon. OnePlus still did not announce anything about the global launch of its flagship killer. The Redmi Note 11T Pro has a starting price which roughly translates into €250/$263, while the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition starts from €280/$295. Which one would you pick?
