- Potential for more heat generation
Display Comparison
The Realme 11 Pro+ boasts a measured peak brightness of 793 nits, providing superior visibility in direct sunlight compared to the Y300 Pro (brightness data unavailable). While both likely utilize AMOLED panels given the market segment, the Realme’s higher peak brightness is a tangible advantage. Details regarding refresh rates, resolution, and PWM dimming are missing for both, but the Realme’s brightness suggests a more premium display experience. Bezels are assumed to be similar, typical of this price range.
Camera Comparison
Camera details beyond the presence of 'Photo/Video' capabilities are sparse for both devices. Without sensor size, aperture, or OIS information, a direct comparison is difficult. However, the Realme 11 Pro+ is known for its 200MP main sensor (outside of provided context, but a key feature), which would provide a significant advantage in detail capture and low-light performance compared to a typical mid-range sensor found in the Y300 Pro. The Y300 Pro’s image processing is likely tuned for a more natural look, while Realme often favors more vibrant, saturated images.
Performance
The Realme 11 Pro+’s MediaTek Dimensity 7050 (6nm) features a CPU configuration of 2x2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, offering a theoretical performance advantage over the vivo Y300 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (4nm) with its 4x2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 and 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 setup. The 6nm process of the Dimensity 7050 is less efficient than the 4nm process of the Snapdragon, potentially leading to more heat generation under sustained load. However, the higher clock speeds of the A78 cores in the Dimensity 7050 should translate to snappier performance in everyday tasks and gaming. The Snapdragon’s 4nm node will likely result in better power efficiency during less intensive use.
Battery Life
The Realme 11 Pro+’s 100W wired charging is a clear win, allowing for significantly faster top-ups compared to the vivo Y300 Pro’s 80W charging. While the Realme 11 Pro+ had an endurance rating of 112h, this is an older metric and doesn't account for software or usage patterns. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1’s 4nm process in the Y300 Pro should contribute to better battery life during moderate usage, but the faster charging of the Realme 11 Pro+ mitigates the impact of any potential battery capacity differences.
Buying Guide
Buy the vivo Y300 Pro if you prioritize long-term efficiency and a potentially cooler running phone during sustained tasks, thanks to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1’s 4nm fabrication. Buy the Realme 11 Pro+ if you value rapid charging speeds and a brighter screen for outdoor visibility, and need a bit more raw processing power for demanding apps and games.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Will the Dimensity 7050 in the Realme 11 Pro+ overheat during prolonged gaming sessions?
The Dimensity 7050, built on a 6nm process, is more prone to heat generation than the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1’s 4nm process. While Realme likely incorporates thermal management solutions, extended gaming at high settings may lead to some throttling. However, the performance gains may outweigh the thermal concerns for many users.
❓ Is the 80W charging on the vivo Y300 Pro slow compared to the 100W on the Realme 11 Pro+?
80W charging is still considered fast, but 100W charging on the Realme 11 Pro+ is noticeably quicker. Expect a significantly shorter time to reach 100% charge with the Realme, potentially shaving off 15-20 minutes depending on battery capacity. This difference is particularly beneficial for users who frequently need to top up their phone quickly.
❓ Does the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the vivo Y300 Pro offer sufficient performance for demanding apps and games?
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is a capable mid-range chipset, but it’s positioned below the Dimensity 7050 in terms of raw performance. While it can handle most everyday tasks and many popular games, you may experience slightly longer loading times or reduced graphical settings in more demanding titles compared to the Realme 11 Pro+.
