Vivo X60 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OnePlus 9: Specs Comparison

A few days ago, Vivo launched its first flagship in Europe since it hitten the Western European market: the Vivo X60 Pro. Despite it is not the most advanced variant from the X60 series, it boasts a complete specs sheet with stunning specifications. Further, it carries a non-excessive price tag. This is exactly the reason why we decided to compare it to the latest flagship killers from Vivo’s Chinese rivals. If you need a phone priced under €800, you have two other amazing options besides the Vivo X60 Pro in the European market: Xiaomi Mi 11i and OnePlus 9. Let’s compare their specifications.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot, 5G Dual SIM slot, 5G, IP53 splash resistant Dual SIM slot, 5G

Design

The Vivo X60 Pro is the most beautiful handset for three reasons: it is thinner than its opponents, it is lighter and it has a curved edge-to-edge display. With the OnePlus 9 and the Xiaomi Mi 11i, you get a flat display and thicker bodies, as well as thicker bezels around the panel. But you should consider that the Xiaomi Mi 11i has the IP53 certification, so it offers some kind of protection against dust and water (it is splash resistant, but you can not put it underwater without it damages).

 

Display

The displays of the Vivo X60 Pro, OnePlus 9, and Xiaomi Mi 11i are more or less at the same level. They are all AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and very high brightness. Not the most advanced displays in the smartphone world, but still amazing panels which will not disappoint you. The Xiaomi Mi 11i has a wider 6.67-inch diagonal, while Vivo X60 Pro and OnePlus 9 are more compact. Note that Vivo X60 Pro and OnePlus 9 have an in-display fingerprint reader, while Xiaomi Mi 11i has a side-mounted one which is actually less comfortable.

 

Hardware/Software

Given that the Vivo X60 Pro is powered by a weaker chipset, the battle is between Xiaomi Mi 11i and the OnePlus 9. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, but the most advanced variant of the OnePlus 9 is more powerful because it has more RAM: 12 GB against the 8 GB offered by the Xiaomi Mi 11i. All these phones run Android 11 out of the box with different customized user interfaces.

 

Camera

The most convincing camera department belongs to the Vivo X60 Pro. It has a main sensor with a very bright f/1.5 aperture and gimbal stabilization, a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. OnePlus 9 has a better ultrawide camera than X60 Pro, but it lacks a telephoto sensor and its main camera is actually inferior too. The Xiaomi Mi 11i has a stunning 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording, but unfortunately, its secondary sensors are pretty bad for a flagship.

 

Battery

Vivo X60 Pro is thinner and lighter, but it has a smaller battery and it loses the battery life comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 11i and the OnePlus 9 both come with a 4500 mAh battery, but the latter supports faster wired charging (65W) and wireless charging, while Xiaomi Mi 11i supports 33W fast charging and lacks wireless charging. OnePlus 9 is the king of batteries.

 

Vivo X60 Pro Global vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OnePlus 9: Price

You can grab a unit of the OnePlus 9 for less than €700/$853, Xiaomi Mi 11i is the cheapest with a €649/$791 price tag, and Vivo X60 Pro is priced at €799/$975. The Vivo X60 Pro looks like the most premium device due to its beautiful design and amazing camera, but for average users, the OnePlus 9 makes more sense with the actual prices due to its bigger battery, wireless charging, better chipset.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G tipped to pack a Snapdragon 750G SoC, 64MP main camera

The hype around the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is surely going some notches higher, and we expect the tempo to become higher as the June launch date approaches. Ahead of its scheduled European and Indian launch on June 10, the features and specs of the upcoming device have been laid out by some information emanating from inside sources in the company.OnePlus Nord

The unknown source claims to be privy to the development dynamics of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G smartphone. As per the leaks, some of the highlights include a 64MP rear camera and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon mid-range SoC.

In addition, the Nord CE 5G will have a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel with a display refresh rate of 90Hz. The AMOLED screen indicates that OnePlus will stick with its previous screen setup rather than switching to LCD panels. The camera setup also includes two auxiliary sensors and a 16MP selfie camera.

We also expect the OnePlus Nord CE 5G would be high up in the affordability spectrum and could be quite affordable compared to other mid-rangers. We are yet to get the exact pricing details for the yet-to-be-released device, although this will become available shortly.
The leak still leaves a lot of details to speculations. We do not know much about several other software and hardware features, including battery capacity, Android version, and general functionality.

As we have pointed out earlier, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a 5G-compliant device. It is focused on sustaining the affordability that has propelled the OnePlus brand to success on the global turf.

Sony WF-1000XM4 to feature improved ANC, LDAC, and better battery life: Leak

A new leak has revealed certain interesting details regarding the upcoming Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds. The device will reportedly arrive with an improved active noise cancellation (ANC) along with other notable features as well.

Sony

According to a WinFuture report (Via GSMArena), the new hearables will sport better noise cancellation, which has a feature that was present in the previous model as well. Although, the new XM4 version will improve this feature through the company’s “Sony V1” custom chip. Similarly, the leak adds that the wireless earphones will also add support for high quality wireless audio transmitted through LDAC and will also be certified for Hi Res Audio as well.

The report states that the Japanese tech giant will even improve the battery life of the WF-1000XM4 TWS earbuds. As per the report, the earbuds alone would offer up to 8 hours of music playback with ANC on, which is up from 6 hours from the previous model. With the charging case, these earbuds can be recharged twice, allowing for a total of 24 hours of playback. Turning ANC off would bump the battery life to 12 hours through the buds and 36 hours with the case.

Sony

Another notable feature is the addition of Qi wireless charging on the charging case for the earbuds in addition to the USB Type C charging port. This also implies that users can charge the earbuds through reverse wireless charging as well. The leak claims that the earbuds will arrive with a price tag of 280 Euros (roughly 350 US Dollars). Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

Xiaomi Mi 11X gets MIUI 12.5 update in India

Xiaomi launched the Mi 11X series in India in late August. The vanilla Mi 11X is a rebranded Redmi K40, which is also sold as POCO F3 in some markets. A month after its release, this smartphone has now started receiving MIUI 12.5 in the country.

Xiaomi Mi 11X

MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of the MIUI mobile operating system based on Android. According to Xiaomi, this version brings improvements for devices already running MIUI 12

Hence, users of eligible devices are excited about this update. However, so far, Xiaomi has been mostly releasing this update for the Chinese variant of its phones. Thankfully, that has begun to change lately as some international variants have now started getting this update.

The latest global handset to receive MIUI 12.5 update is Mi 11X, which is sold in India. The update arrives with build number V12.5.1.0.RKHINXM. The software builds is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase, and therefore, it is only available for a select few users as of now.

Anyway, all users should get the update in the coming days if early adopters don’t face any major issues. The original version of this smartphone, the Redmi K40, received the update in late April in China. On the other hand, the POCO F3, which is yet another clone of this phone is yet to receive the update in any region.

Global Smartphone market growth in 2021 to reach highest levels since 2015: IDC

The global smartphone market in this year is expected to record its highest levels of growth since 2015. Shipments are projected to reach 1.38 billion units this year, marking a rise of 7.7 percent over last year.

Smartphone

According to an IDC report, the positive trend is expected to continue forward into the next year as well, with an expected year on year growth of 3.8 percent. The projected shipments for this period are said to be a total of 1.43 billion units. The report adds that this arrives as the world shifts towards 5G networking and 5G enabled handsets, while also retaining strong demand for low end and mid range 4G smartphones following last year’s pandemic that led to a decline in sales.

As per Anthony Scarsella, research manager with IDC, “2021 will represent the largest year-over-year growth the market has witnessed since 2015, as the shift towards 5G across all price tiers continues to accelerate. The 5G shift will also deliver peak smartphone ASPs in 2021 ($376, up 9.7% year over year) when compared to the remainder of the forecast period as costly 5G devices continue to replace LTE devices, which are also starting to drop in price, down 27% in 2021.”

Smartphone

Similarly, Ryan Reith, program vice president at IDC, added that “Smartphones are seeing competition for consumer spending from adjacent markets like PCs, tablets, TVs, and smart home devices, yet that hasn’t slowed the market’s path to recovery. The smartphone market returned to growth during the holiday quarter last year and since then we’ve only seen production from top suppliers ramp up. There continues to be a strong supply-side push toward 5G, and price points continue to drop as a result.”

Apple faces another antitrust suit over its Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is at the center of another lawsuit as the company is facing another antitrust charge over its ECG system that it has allegedly “copied”, as per a medical firm AliveCor.

Apple

According to an AppleInsider report, the mobile medical company AliveCor has previously filed a patent infringement suit against the Cupertino based giant in Texas, US. The firm has also asked the US International Trade Commission to ban sales of the iPhone maker’s smartwatch. Now, AliveCor is also requesting a trial by jury over patent issues and has filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California.

As per the filing, AliveCor is claiming that the smartphone manufacturer initially supported the development of an electrocardiogram wristband, the Kardiaband. The lawsuit states that “Apple not only initially approved AliveCor’s apps but also advertised AliveCor’s innovations to sell more Apple Watches. AliveCor informed Apple about [it gaining] FDA clearance and that it intended to begin selling KardiaBands shortly along with its previously-approved Kardia and SmartRhythm apps.”

Apple Watch

The filing adds that “Apple had finally realized heart health analysis was incredibly valuable to (and desired by) smartwatch users, and thus had been working in the background to copy AliveCor’s ideas, including both the ability to record an ECG on the Apple Watch, as well as to provide a separate app for heartrate analysis.” Unfortunately, the smartphone brand has yet to comment on the new filing.

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 live images appear on FCC

Samsung is reported to launch the Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, and Galaxy S21 FE at a Galaxy Unpacked event in late July or early August. At this conference, the company is also expected to announce the Galaxy Buds2. These wireless earbuds have been now certified by FCC.

We have been hearing about the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 since last month.  Some of its features have been already revealed via leaks. Now, thanks to FCC (via @simransingh931), we finally get to see the live images of these upcoming truly wireless earphones.

The pictures show the product in a black colorway. However, the earbuds are expected to arrive in three more colors, namely white, purple, and green.

As far as design is concerned, just like the first-ever report stated, the Galaxy Buds2 (SM-R177) will be identical to the Galaxy Buds+. But the charging case will be similar to the newer Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds Live.

Lastly, as per FCC, the buds will come with a 120mAh battery each, whereas the charging case will house a 500mAh battery.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy Buds2 codenamed ‘berry’ will not feature ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). These earbuds are said to compete with other sub-$100 truly wireless earphones in the market.

realme could switch back to ColorOS for its smartphones

Earlier this month, an official survey by realme revealed the brand’s plans for laptops. Now, the company is back again with another survey, which suggests that it could switch back to ColorOS for its smartphones.

realme OS Preference Survey

For those who don’t know, realme started as a sub-brand of OPPO. Hence, the company’s initial smartphones ran ColorOS based on Android. Due to the brand’s huge success, it was soon spun off into an independent brand under Oujia Holdings (OPLUS), which includes OPPO and OnePlus.

Since then, realme phones have been running realme UI, a fork of ColorOS. The first version of this Android skin was released in 2019. Then, in September 2020, the company unveiled Android 11-based realme UI 2.0.

Unfortunately, despite being months, the brand is yet to roll out the latest update to most of its devices. Amidst this, ahead of ColorOS 12 (Android 12) announcement, the company has sent out a survey asking people about their OS preference.

Out of the six questions, four of them are about ColorOS. In fact, the company even asks what should they call the software if they adopt ColorOS once again. One of the two answers is obvious – ‘ColorOS for realme’, just like ‘ColorOS for OnePlus’ in China.

Last year, OPPO completely revamped its Android skin ColorOS. Currently, it’s one of the best Android skins in the market. Hence, it makes sense for the sister brands to adopt the same software as all three are now expanding into more markets than ever before.

OPPO ColorOS 11 Logo FeaturedThis move helps to maintain software builds for a plethora of devices these three brands releases in a year. Xiaomi has been doing the same for a long time. Redmi and POCO, despite being an independent brand under the Xiaomi Corporation, their phones run the same MIUI as the Mi-branded handsets.

What are your thoughts on realme switching back to ColorOS? Do let us know in the comment section below.
