Display Comparison
Both devices share a nominal contrast ratio of 1401:1, suggesting similar visual pop. However, detailed display specs like peak brightness, color gamut coverage, and refresh rate are missing for the Umidigi A11 Pro Max. The Poco X3 Pro, while not featuring cutting-edge panel technology like LTPO, benefits from a likely higher peak brightness typical of Xiaomi displays, resulting in better outdoor visibility. The absence of detailed display information for the A11 Pro Max makes a definitive comparison difficult, but the Poco X3 Pro likely offers a more vibrant and usable viewing experience.
Camera Comparison
Both phones are listed as having 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but detailed camera specifications are absent for both. However, given the Poco X3 Pro’s positioning, it likely features a more sophisticated camera system with a larger sensor and potentially optical image stabilization (OIS). The Umidigi A11 Pro Max, targeting a lower price point, likely utilizes a more basic camera setup. Without specific sensor sizes or aperture information, it’s difficult to make a precise comparison, but the Poco X3 Pro is expected to deliver superior image quality and video recording capabilities.
Performance
The performance gap between these devices is substantial. The Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 (7nm) is a flagship-level chipset from the previous generation, boasting a prime core clocked at 2.96 GHz. This contrasts sharply with the Umidigi A11 Pro Max’s MediaTek Helio G80 (12nm). The Snapdragon 860’s architecture – featuring Kryo 485 Gold and Silver cores – provides a significant advantage in both single-core and multi-core performance. The 7nm process node also translates to better thermal efficiency, reducing the likelihood of throttling during extended gaming sessions. The Helio G80, while capable for basic tasks, will struggle with demanding games and applications. The Poco X3 Pro is demonstrably the better choice for users who value speed and responsiveness.
Battery Life
Both devices achieve an endurance rating of 112 hours, indicating comparable battery life under similar usage conditions. However, the charging speeds differ dramatically. The Umidigi A11 Pro Max is limited to 10W wired charging, while the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro supports 33W wired charging, reaching 59% charge in 30 minutes and 100% in 59 minutes. This faster charging capability is a significant advantage for the Poco X3 Pro, allowing users to quickly top up their battery and minimize downtime. While both phones offer similar endurance, the Poco X3 Pro’s charging speed provides a more convenient user experience.
Buying Guide
Buy the Umidigi A11 Pro Max if you need a basic, functional smartphone for everyday tasks like calling, texting, and light social media use, and are on a very tight budget. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro if you prioritize gaming, demanding applications, and faster charging speeds, and are willing to spend a bit more for a significantly improved user experience.
