Display Comparison
Both devices likely utilize LCD panels, given their price bracket. The Poco M4 Pro 5G boasts a measured peak brightness of 510 nits and a 1553:1 contrast ratio, suggesting a more vibrant and visible display, especially outdoors. While the Realme V11s 5G’s display specifications are not provided, the Poco’s measured brightness provides a concrete advantage for users who consume media or work outdoors. The identical contrast ratio suggests similar color reproduction capabilities, assuming similar panel calibration.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific details regarding sensor size, aperture, or optical image stabilization (OIS). This suggests a focus on affordability over advanced camera features. The absence of details implies both likely employ similar, budget-oriented camera setups. The usefulness of any included 2MP macro lens is questionable, as image quality is typically limited. Without more information, it's impossible to definitively declare a camera winner.
Performance
Both the Realme V11s 5G and Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G are powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 810 (6nm). This chipset features an octa-core configuration with 2x 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 cores and 6x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, promising similar CPU performance. The 6nm process node contributes to reasonable power efficiency. However, thermal management, which isn't specified for either device, will be a key factor in sustained performance. Without further data, it’s safe to assume performance will be largely identical in day-to-day tasks and moderate gaming.
Battery Life
The Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G has an endurance rating of 123 hours, indicating strong battery life. While the Realme V11s 5G’s battery capacity isn’t specified, the Poco’s 33W charging (0-100% in 59 minutes) is a significant advantage over the Realme’s 18W charging. This faster charging speed translates to less downtime and greater convenience for users who frequently need to top up their battery. The Poco’s endurance rating suggests efficient power management, complementing its larger charging wattage.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme V11s 5G if your priority is a potentially lower price point and you aren't heavily reliant on quick top-ups. Buy the Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G if you value faster charging, a potentially brighter display (510 nits measured), and a more established track record of endurance testing, as evidenced by its 123-hour endurance rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Is the 33W charging on the Poco M4 Pro 5G significantly faster in real-world use?
Yes, the 33W charging on the Poco M4 Pro 5G is demonstrably faster, achieving a full charge in 59 minutes. This is a substantial improvement over the Realme V11s 5G’s 18W charging, which will take considerably longer, making it ideal for users who need quick top-ups throughout the day.
❓ Does the Dimensity 810 chipset in either phone struggle with demanding games like PUBG or Genshin Impact?
The Dimensity 810 is a capable chipset for mid-range gaming, but demanding titles like PUBG or Genshin Impact will likely require reduced graphics settings for smooth gameplay on both the Realme V11s 5G and Poco M4 Pro 5G. Thermal management, which isn't specified, will also play a role in sustained performance.
❓ How does the 123-hour endurance rating of the Poco M4 Pro 5G translate to typical daily use?
The 123-hour endurance rating suggests the Poco M4 Pro 5G can comfortably last a full day of moderate use (calls, messaging, social media, some video streaming) on a single charge. Heavy users may still need to charge daily, but the efficient power management contributes to extended battery life.
