Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro (China)
- Potentially lower price point
- 67W fast charging is still respectable
- MediaTek Dimensity 920 is a capable chipset
- Dimensity 920 is outperformed by the Dimensity 1300
- Limited display brightness information
- Camera specs are largely unknown
OnePlus Nord 2T
- More powerful Dimensity 1300 chipset
- 80W SuperVOOC charging for rapid refills
- Higher peak display brightness for better outdoor visibility
- May be more expensive than the Redmi Note 11 Pro
- SuperVOOC charging is proprietary
- No LTPO display for adaptive refresh rates
Display Comparison
The OnePlus Nord 2T boasts a measured peak brightness of 636 nits, a crucial advantage for outdoor visibility compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro, where brightness data is unavailable. While both likely utilize AMOLED panels given the 'infinite' contrast ratio claim of the Nord 2T, the Nord 2T’s higher peak brightness translates to a more usable display in bright sunlight. The absence of LTPO technology on either device suggests standard refresh rate management, potentially impacting battery life during dynamic content viewing.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature photo and video capabilities, but detailed sensor information is lacking for the Redmi Note 11 Pro. The Nord 2T’s camera system likely benefits from MediaTek’s Imagiq 760 ISP, offering improved image processing. Without specific sensor sizes or aperture details for the Redmi Note 11 Pro, it’s difficult to assess its low-light performance. The prevalence of 2MP macro lenses on both devices suggests limited utility for serious photography; focusing on the main sensor performance is key.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The OnePlus Nord 2T’s Dimensity 1300 features a 1x3.0 GHz Cortex-A78 core alongside 3x2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 cores, and 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. This contrasts with the Redmi Note 11 Pro’s Dimensity 920, which has 2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. The Nord 2T’s higher clock speeds and additional high-performance core provide a clear advantage in CPU-intensive tasks and gaming. Both are built on a 6nm process, but the architectural improvements in the Dimensity 1300 translate to better overall performance.
Battery Life
Both devices achieve an endurance rating of 100 hours, suggesting comparable battery life under similar usage scenarios. However, the OnePlus Nord 2T’s 80W wired charging is a significant advantage, achieving a full charge in a shorter timeframe than the Redmi Note 11 Pro’s 67W charging (43 minutes to 100%). The Nord 2T also supports PD charging, offering wider compatibility with chargers. While mAh capacity isn't specified, the faster charging speed of the Nord 2T mitigates any potential disadvantage from a slightly smaller battery.
Buying Guide
Buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro (China) if you prioritize a potentially lower price point and are comfortable with a slightly less powerful processor. Buy the OnePlus Nord 2T if you value faster charging, a more capable chipset for demanding tasks like gaming, and a generally smoother user experience. The Nord 2T is the better all-rounder.
