Hi guys it's Frankie from Frankie tech good to see you guys again, and I'm here to share my comparison between the Xiaomi mi 11 and the VIVO iq7. Now I've pitted these phones against each other in the an tutu throttling test. But in today's video I want to go through some key specs where these phones differ and then share my camera comparison between the mi 11 and the iq7 and for 3999 RMB versus 3798 RMB. These are the best values, snapdragon triple h, phones that you can buy but which one is best. Let's have a look, so we've talked previously about the design, eight millimeters 196 grams versus 8.7, millimeters, 209 grams and guys in this category. The 11 is just a step above what the iq7 is offering.
This is a nice well-built phone, but let's face it. The mi 11's design is just so much more sleek and so much more beautiful. If you're going for a sleek premium flagship, look, then the me11 is your choice, but don't get me wrong. The VIVO IQ has its own kind of look, and if you pick up the BMW version, it has a very distinct look as well. The bezels on these phones look very modern and there's the advantage of the iq7 having a flat display, but you know, even still, I give the design edge here to the me11.
It's just a step above what you're getting with this iq7 overall in terms of display 6.81 inch versus 6.62 OLED displays, but the big difference here, obviously who on the me11 versus full HD plus on the iq7. Both displays are 120, hertz and you'll. Appreciate that buttery smooth feel on both of these phones. The one advantage the iq7 has is that it is a flat panel display, but that doesn't change the fact you're getting more resolution, you're getting a brighter, more beautiful display and the banding that you notice here is much more prevalent on the iq7 than the Xiaomi mi 11. I think design and display are the key areas where the me11 just surpasses what the iq7 has to offer and if you want one of the best displays on any smartphone to date.
Pick up the me11, and that goes for DRM info as well. The 11, the china version here with l1 out of the box and that's why watching content on the m11 is just gonna, be a better experience overall pick up this phone if you value HD Netflix support out of the box, and so it might seem at this point, the iq7 is out for the count, but not so fast. The iq7 punches back here in performance. We have snapdragon 8 on both of these phones, but right now, in my experience guys, the iq7 is delivering the better performance than the Xiaomi mi 11. , and you also saw from my overheating test that this phone stayed a little cooler than the me11 in that very grueling test and in gaming and in benchmarks.
I definitely have noticed that this phone just pushes it to the limit, but it also does restrict a bit more than the Xiaomi 11, while the mi 11 just went for it in the last test and dropped a lot in It's and t2 score. As a result, both phones are using ddr5 ram, 8 versus 12 gigs. For these units, but the m11 does have a 12 gig option, and you have UFS 3.1 on both phones and in terms of software. We've also covered the new origin OS here on the iq7, which I've said is a big step above what we used to have on VIVO phones with fun touch OS, but does that mean that it goes toe-to-toe with mini 12 on the Xiaomi mi 11. ? That's going to be a whole other video guys that I'm going to be doing very soon so stay tuned for that, and I will be putting these pieces of software against each other overall.
The day-to-day experience of both of these phones is terrific. Both phones, running android, 11 out of the box, with ultra-fast ultra fluid performance, you're going to have a great time in terms of software on both of these phones. In terms of battery life, we have a 4 600, William capacity on the Xiaomi 11 versus 4000 on the iq7 and guys since my review of this phone, I will tell you the screen on times have not been as good as I expected. You know the phone does run down quite a bit when you're using it and I think the realities of having a 4 000 milliampere battery, just to achieve those faster charging scores is where it's hurting this phone, especially if you're running full HD at 120 hertz. But I get the counterargument.
It doesn't matter because this phone charges up in 15 minutes, while you're waiting, 45 minutes for the 11. So it's going to come down to your personal preference. What do you value more a larger battery or faster charging? We can kind of split the win here in terms of battery between these two phones. But personally, I would have much preferred to see a slightly larger battery pack, maybe even 4 500 milliamperes on this iq7 and if that meant that it charged from zero to 100 in only 30 minutes. I would have been happy with that and talking about fingerprint scanners very fast performance on both the mi 11 here and the iq7.
You see it there. They come in almost instantaneously and are two of the fastest fingerprint scanners that I've ever used on any phone, but in vibration mode, or I give the edge to the me11. It just has one of the best haptic feedbacks of any phone I've ever tested, while the iq7s is good, but it's more kind of previous gen. In terms of its experience and in terms of audio dual speakers on these phones and if you've seen my speaker test from the iq7 review, you will know that this phone punched well above its weight in terms of sound clarity and just went toe-to-toe with the me11. I still give the edge, though, to this phone and with dedicated speakers both top and bottom you're going to have an incredible listening experience on this Xiaomi mi 11.
And lastly, the cameras. We have a 108 megapixel primary camera on the Xiaomi mi 11 versus 48 megapixels on the iq7. But what does the iq7 have that the mi 11 doesn't have is the telephoto and that makes for zoom shots that are just more crisp and just better because of the two times optical zoom capabilities of this phone. It's probably the one area where the iq7 has an advantage in terms of cameras and on the front we have 16 megapixels versus 20 megapixels on the mi 11, both phones capable of shooting 4k, but the mi 11 does it at 60, fps versus 30, and the mi 11 is also capable of 8k 30 fps video recording. But you know what it all comes down to the camera samples.
So how do these phones stack up in terms of camera quality? Have a look at these samples and let's talk about them when we get back um do so, so foreign. This is rear facing video on the Xiaomi mi 11 and the VIVO iq7 shooting in 4k on both of these phones, beautiful blue sky day. Here in Hong Kong, I'm going to walk around for a little. See stabilization, looks perfect on both phones, but hit me up in the comments. What do you think- and this is front facing video on the 11 and the iq7- pretty pink cast on the iq7? Don't know what's going on there? Maybe I'll turn around see if that'll help the white balance a little well, that did a little but much more natural colors here on the me11, pretty strange to see that happen, but hit me up in the comments.
What do you think so guys when I went out to do this camera comparison? I thought that the iq7 was gonna, go toe-to-toe and maybe even surpass the m11 in a lot of shots. I think for the telephoto shots. It definitely has the more crisp and more detailed shots, but the me11, in my opinion, in both stills and especially in video, just has the edge man. The video on the iq7 had this pink hue to it. It just did not look good while the mi, 11s, mics and video quality were just on another level, and so I guess this proves that, despite having that telephoto camera, I would still prefer to have the main camera from the Xiaomi mi 11 than the one on the VIVO iq7.
And so that's it guys for this comparison and my final verdict between these two phones- let's cut to the chase here, if I could only pick one of these phones to use moving forward, which would I pick well, it's going to be none other than the Xiaomi mi 11. And the reason being guys, there's so many factors about the m11 that I feel just separated from the iq7. Despite the better performance, the terrific charging capabilities and really solid dual speakers, the mi 11 just wins in terms of design. The incredible display performance is still solid, although we are having overheating issues, I love mini, 12 and the way it performs and while VIVO with origin OS has definitely made that gap between these two much smaller. I still think the Xiaomi 11 with this software performs beautifully buttery smooth, and it's a terrific experience, dual speakers being so close, but the me11 edges it out with clarity and then in cameras.
I would still prefer to have the main camera from this me 11 over the iq7, and so all in all the iq7 makes a valiant effort here to dethrone the Xiaomi 11 as the best affordable, flagship phone so far of 2021, but I'm going to have to give it here to the me11. It still takes all the boxes for me and, in my opinion, is still the best flagship, snapdragon triple eight phones on the market, but hit me up in the comments which of these two phones. Would you pick and to be honest guys, I did not think the iq7 would get this close to the me11 in a head-to-head comparison? They've come a long way and I can't wait to see what VIVO comes up with next, but which would you pick hit me up in the comments? I'd love to hear about it and that's it for this video. If you liked it give me that thumbs up and if you love the content of Frankie tech subscribe to the channel, hit the bell icon for future updates. So what does this mean for the iq7? Is it going back to the store, so soon we shall see guys, but I must applaud VIVO they've created a really great product here on this phone, and it's been great being able to review this VIVO iq7 and bringing VIVO back to the channel once again.
So that's it- and this is where I leave you by saying this- is Frankie tech signing off have a good one, Xiaomi me11 you're, just too good you're, just too good. You.
