There is a question that I still haven’t completely figured out, and that is who will be the first launcher of Snapdragon 8Gen2? Previously vivo was released in X90 The Pro+ did not mention the specific model of the chip, but only revealed some relevant parameters and the GPU model. It is said that because vivo is not the first manufacturer of Snapdragon 8Gen2 authorized by Qualcomm , so at the press conference It is inconvenient to reveal too much about certain data. Many people say that the first release of Snapdragon 8Gen2 is still and Xiaomi . However, at the launch of Xiaomi 13 series, it was not claimed to be the first release, so it is not clear which one is the first release of Snapdragon 8Gen2.
Of course, who is the first launcher is really not that important to us users, so the added value of the first launch becomes lower. We only need to know that Snapdragon 8Gen2 is currently the most powerful flagship chip in the Android camp. The performance of any mobile phone equipped with it will not matter within three years. Since
has locked in the models equipped with Snapdragon 8Gen2, there will definitely be more and more models in the future, but the mainstream ones are only those brands and its sub-brands. Many friends may have also discovered that the prices of Xiaomi 13 and iQOO 11 are similar. For the same 12+256 version, Xiaomi 13 is priced at 4599, while iQOO 11 is priced at 4399. Which one is better?
Of course, the author also knows that these two mobile phones are by no means the same positioning. Xiaomi Mi 13 focuses on compactness, while iQOO The 11 focuses on the gaming experience, but there are many overlaps between the two. For example, they both have dual stereo speakers and infrared remote control functions. The core configurations are Snapdragon 8Gen2+LPDDR5x+UFS4.0. In terms of photography, they are generally very good. I believe that for most people, the two different sizes of the two are still acceptable.
However, there are many differences between the two, for example:
First, the screen is different
The screen of Xiaomi 13 is 6.36 inches in size, and the Samsung E6 material with 1080P resolution It supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The screen pixel density is 419ppi. The under-screen fingerprint also supports heart rate detection. The screen has an 8-bit color depth and a peak brightness of up to 1900 nits. The screen of
iQOO 11 is 6.78 inches in size and is also made of Samsung E6 material, but the resolution is 2K and the screen pixel density is as high as 517ppi. It supports LTPO4.0 and 1.07 billion color display. The maximum refresh rate is 144Hz and supports 1200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. The peak brightness can reach 1800 nits. It also supports under-screen dual-control pressure-sensitive technology.
It can be seen from their respective screen parameters that the screen of iQOO 11 is obviously better than that of Xiaomi 13.
Second, the camera configuration is different
The camera configuration of Xiaomi 13 is 32 million pixels front + 54 million pixels main camera + 12 million pixels wide angle + 10-megapixel telephoto, the main camera is a Sony IMX800 sensor, with a 1/1.49-inch photosensitive unit and OIS optical anti-shake. The ultra-wide angle supports 120-degree viewfinding. The telephoto has a focal length of 75 mm, supports 3.2x optical zoom and has OIS optical anti-shake.
The camera configuration of iQOO 11 is 16-megapixel front + 50-megapixel main camera + 13-megapixel portrait + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle. The main camera is a 1/1.57-inch Samsung GN5 sensor that supports OIS optical image stabilization. It is inferior to the main camera of Xiaomi 13, and not only the main camera is slightly inferior, iQOO The other lenses of Mi 11 are worse than those of Xiaomi Mi 13.
As a mobile phone with a price of more than 4,000, iQOO 11 actually uses an 8-megapixel sensor as an ultra-wide-angle lens. This is actually unjustifiable, but fortunately, its positioning is focused on games. In short, Xiaomi Mi 13 is still better in terms of camera.
Third, the motors are different
iQOO 11 uses a symmetrical dual X-axis linear motor, while Xiaomi 13 uses a single X-axis linear motor. When playing games, of course it is iQOO The vibration of Mi 11 is stronger, but the size of its motor may be slightly smaller, which means that the vibration brought by a single motor is not very good, so when typing, we will feel that the motor of Xiaomi Mi 13 has better vibration, but most people cannot detect it, so there is no need to pay special attention to this detail. It depends on whether you can vibrate the sense of direction when playing games.
Fourth, the battery life is different.
The battery capacity of Xiaomi 13 is only 4500mah, which is equipped with 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. The battery capacity of iQOO 11 is 5000mah, which is equipped with 120W wired fast charging, but does not provide wireless fast charging function.
In terms of battery life, both have their own advantages. Under the same conditions, of course, the larger the battery, the stronger the battery life. However, the screen size of iQOO 11 is larger, and the resolution is higher, and even the refresh rate is higher, so the power consumption must be higher, so in terms of battery life, although iQOO 11 has a 5000mah battery, it may not last longer than Xiaomi 13, but in the process, the screen of iQOO 11 definitely brings a better experience to our users.
Moreover, iQOO 11 is equipped with 120W fast charging, which is much faster than Xiaomi 13’s 67W fast charging. As for whether it has wireless charging function, I personally think it is not very important. On the one hand, the wireless charging power is now limited to the 50W safety line, and on the other hand, because the wireless charging base has to be purchased separately, it is not as economical as using wired fast charging.
In addition to the four aspects summarized above, there are no other more important differences between the two mobile phones Xiaomi 13 and iQOO 11. From these four aspects, in general, the iQOO 11 is more powerful, so it is still more cost-effective.
Xiaomi 13 has a small body, comfortable grip, and exquisite workmanship. It is very close to iPhone 14, but compared to the previous generation Xiaomi 12, the screen seems to be a little larger. It is said to be a small-screen flagship, so how can we compromise casually? Moreover, the 6.36-inch Xiaomi Mi 13 still uses a 1080P resolution screen, while the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 uses a 1.5K screen.
However, the Xiaomi Mi 13’s photography is indeed quite good, because the camera configuration itself is not low, and with the Leica image effect blessing, it is definitely better than the iQOO 11’s photography, but the iQOO 11’s main camera is not weak, and it also has a self-developed V2 imaging chip, so the iQOO 11’s main lens may not be bad, but other lenses may not be satisfactory.
Of course, iQOO 11 itself is not positioned as an imaging phone. It focuses more on game optimization. The dual under-screen pressure control mentioned earlier is not available in ordinary mobile phones. At the same time, V2 is not only an imaging chip, it also has the function of a standalone display chip. Combined with Snapdragon 8Gen2, iQOO 11 can increase many games that do not natively support high frame rates to 120 or even 144 frames through the dynamic frame interpolation effect of the V2 chip without reducing the image quality, which is something that cannot be experienced on ordinary mobile phones.
So having said so much, how should you choose between these two mobile phones? The author thinks that it may be better to choose iQOO 11, because whether it is used for playing games or taking photos, iQOO 11 can provide a better experience. It basically has the functions of Xiaomi 13, but the photo effect is slightly worse, but it is not a big problem.
If you choose Xiaomi Mi 13, the camera will indeed be better, but the gaming experience will be much worse. Its screen size is not very friendly to games, and the resolution is low, and the display fineness is far inferior to that of the iQOO 11 screen. It is estimated that only those with small screens who pay attention to the feel will consider Xiaomi Mi 13. Those who are more demanding about photo effects may choose Xiaomi Mi 13 Pro.
