Display Comparison
The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G boasts a peak brightness of 610 nits, significantly exceeding the Oppo Reno4 Z 5G’s 398 nits. This translates to better visibility outdoors under direct sunlight. While the Reno4 Z 5G claims a 1284:1 contrast ratio, the Mi 10 Lite 5G’s ‘Infinite’ contrast ratio (typical of AMOLED panels) suggests deeper blacks and a more vibrant image. Both displays share a similar nominal contrast ratio, but the Mi 10 Lite’s panel technology provides a superior viewing experience.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but detailed camera specifications are absent. Given the market positioning, it’s reasonable to assume both utilize multi-camera setups. However, without sensor size or aperture information, a direct comparison is difficult. The absence of detail suggests neither phone is a standout camera performer, focusing instead on all-around functionality. The inclusion of a 2MP macro lens on either device is likely a marketing feature with limited practical benefit.
Performance
Both devices utilize 7nm process technology, but the chipsets differ significantly. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, employing a Kryo 475 CPU architecture with a prime core clocked at 2.4 GHz. The Oppo Reno4 Z 5G, on the other hand, uses the MediaTek Dimensity 800, with a Cortex-A76 based CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz. While both are octa-core CPUs, the Snapdragon 765G’s architecture generally offers a slight edge in sustained performance and GPU capabilities, making it better suited for demanding games. The Mi 10 Lite’s LPDDR4X RAM is standard for this price point, while the Reno4 Z 5G’s RAM configuration isn’t specified, but is likely similar.
Battery Life
The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G’s endurance rating of 103 hours is a clear advantage over the Oppo Reno4 Z 5G’s 78 hours. This translates to significantly longer usage between charges. Furthermore, the Mi 10 Lite 5G supports 20W wired charging with Power Delivery 3.0 and Quick Charge 4.0, offering faster charging speeds and broader compatibility. The Reno4 Z 5G is limited to 18W charging, resulting in a slower 0-100% charge time. The larger endurance rating of the Mi 10 Lite 5G effectively mitigates any potential concerns about a smaller battery capacity (not specified).
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno4 Z 5G if you prioritize a slightly brighter display and are comfortable with a longer charging time. It’s a solid all-rounder for users who don’t heavily rely on their phone throughout the day. Buy the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G if you need exceptional battery life, faster charging speeds, and a more versatile charging standard (PD3.0, QC4), making it ideal for power users and travelers.
