xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g or the real me gt master edition which one of these two very similar phones
is the best for your needs we have four thousand three hundred hour battery in the gt master
edition versus 4 250 33 watt charging with the xiaomi 65 watt charging the screens are similar
so we've got oled amoled 120 hertz versus 90 hertz and then 64 megapixel main cameras eight megapixel
ultrawides both of them do run android 11. so first up charging speeds with the power
adapter we get with the me11 it's 33 watts and it will take about one hour just over one hour
to fully charge this and then with the master edition 65 watts so superior wattage there it
does charge quite a bit quicker so this one's just over 40 minutes so about 40 minutes versus an hour
battery capacities super similar so 4250 on the me 11 versus 4 300 milliamp hours so we have a lot of
similarities with these phones that they both have very similar chipsets so my versions here
eight gigabytes of ram in both of them but we have 256 gigabytes of ufs 3.1 versus 125 of
ufs 2.2 snapdragon 780 g versus 778 g but really they are super similar chips as you'll see later
on when we take a look at the performance so build quality i think the xiaomi's slightly better here
with the build so when you hold them noticeable difference in the thickness and the weight we're
talking about 160 grams approximately versus then about 185 you notice that okay it does feel
a little bit more heavy but i like the thinness of the meat 11. the me 11 lite has gorilla glass
6 on the front we don't know the version we have with the real me which i believe is gorilla glass
5 or maybe even gorilla glass 3 that they have in the front of that one so both of them do have
here full hd plus screens different tech of course we've got 120 hertz versus 90 hertz
oled versus super amoled which is again very similar but getting back onto the build here
the build and the design of them the thickness of the xiaomi is just under well fraction under it's
about seven millimeters this is about eight point nine millimeters so again a little bit thicker now
fingerprint readers very very quick here so i just demonstrate the me11 light so tapping that
it loads in the animation makes it look a little bit slower than what it really is
very easy to get to really good position position with that one and i do like it and with the real
me gt master edition pressing the power button does nothing because the fingerprint reader is
actually an in-screen one if that's something you prefer then you've got it with this now it is
also very quick i think it's actually a little bit faster the location however does take me a little
while to get used to should really be about here as i mentioned in my full review it's a little
bit lower but still both of them very fast both do have face unlocking which is very very quick
there too so the front-facing cameras we have uh 32 megapixels here so the cutout with the gt
okay and then with the mi 11 lite it is a 20 megapixel camera there so slightly less
it's the cutout again with that one so all up plastic frames on both of them
plastic on the rear here of the real me but glass again on the xiaomi so overall i just think it's
more refined i like the build quality a little bit better and what we're getting here with the
me 11 light but both of them are decent so for ports down the bottom this is where there is
a little bit of a difference so both type c microphones there sim tray here okay it takes
a micro sd card with the xiaomi 3.5 millimeter headphone jack with the real me so you have to
decide on what you prefer either microsd or 3.5 millimeter both have downwards firing speakers
at the top we have an ir blaster with the xiaomi microphone and just the secondary mic there
with the realme gt and then i'll display so as i mentioned that they're both full hd plus displays
they have a resolution of 2400 by 1080. both of them are very very good however 90 hertz here
versus 120 hertz and i have noticed that it does of course feel a little bit smoother overall with
the ui performance i'll get onto soon and the roms now when you take a look at the screen here
on the 11 light 5g you'll notice that it has a much smaller chin there so it's a little bit
better the side bezels are about the same now what about the blacks both being well amoled and oled
very deep looks good i've got screen protectors on at the moment so there's a little bit of
reflection coming off that and it's taking a look at the whites there so slight differences between
them overall they're both very good panels so measuring the brightness we have according to
my light meter 820 nits versus uh close to 900 it's about 890 something that i'm getting out
of this panel which is slightly brighter here on the real me gt master edition so if you want the
best display there's not much in it but the winner is the gt master edition for displays
now the wrong performance between both of these is similar they're both very quick feeling phones
when you're using them okay both run android 11 but we've got me why 12.5 versus real me i 2.0 now
they both have their little tweaks and differences what is really noticeable is of course the refresh
rate so we've got 120 frames per second ui versus 90 frames per second ui and even though that's
only 30 frames per second difference i'm noticing it i'm seeing it i've used both devices here
extensively and launch times of applications and general rom performance i think is better
well optimized on the gt master edition and it's still good on the 11 5g but it
definitely does feel a little bit slower now we're jumping into a few other things
with the rom with the mi 11 here xiaomi devices do have more bloatware crammed upon them so both of
them are guilty for putting on a lot of junk a lot of bloatware when you first power up the phones
so we do have several apps here you can see linkedin you've got tik-tok
facebook all sorts of junk maybe they don't actually need or use same thing with the
xiaomi but the xiaomi however has at least 10 applications more and almost two gigabytes worth
of bloatware on that one so internal storage speeds very good on both of them and we are
looking at really identical kind of speeds more or less there's not much in it apart from the right
speeds are a little bit faster here on the gt must addition that is really it when it comes to the
storage performance so one wouldn't worry too much about that however expandable storage of course
on the 11 lite 5g that it can if you give up one of those micro nano sim sorry you can install
micro sd card so here with antutu really the same not much in it at all a slight edge to the real
me phone here and that is really it because of the ui optimization score is a little bit higher there
but really they're about the same so wireless performance up close to my router they are both
really quick gigabit speeds are possible with a wi-fi 6 router so both connected up to wi-fi six
here of course however where it counts the most is at distance lower wireless signal strength you get
more throughput better speeds a lot faster on the realme gt i have found in my experience okay gps
more or less the same both have pretty good average signal strengths there both will max
out at a top accuracy of three meters which is normal so even though both of these devices have a
widevine level one security cert here for drm uh amazon prime video if you're a big user of that
only the real me will actually display the video in hd in full hd with the xiaomi with
amazon prime video you are stuck in standard definition so there is a difference there
however netflix both of them is full hd there so really depends if you're an amazon user camera 2
api support both level three so yes you can use the gcam port for a different kind of look at
uh camera photo quality and everything and then a stress test here all right this is
interesting this loops for 20 times with 3d marks benchmark and we got a lot of throttling
on the xiaomi it throttled down 24 there okay and the performance you can see the clear drop
solid very solid there on the gt master edition with its vapor cooling chamber and everything
like that it actually does perform better in the long run for gaming and general performance
so that was the battery charge time that was actually around 40 minutes but on to the battery
scores here the real me pulled ahead even at 120 hertz it managed to achieve a better score here
and you can see with the scores and performance this is a difference now we are seeing
that they didn't throttle here but there was some throttling that took place with the real me but
when it comes to gaming and 3d performance it's the xiaomi it doesn't do quite as well so in real
life use you are looking about six to seven hours six hour screen on time on this and about six and
a half or so so not too much of a difference even though here it's about almost an hour for audio
the master edition does get the win because it supports a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack but not
just that the loudspeaker actually sounds a little richer a little clearer to my ears versus what we
have on the mi 11 lite 5g the 5g the light 5g here downwards firing speaker gt master edition also
just the single downwards firing speaker on both of these now voice call quality i'm both of them
i've got sim cards in them i've placed calls they sound really the same okay i can't tell
really any difference between them very very similar there but here's a sample now of the
speakers so i'll first play this one followed up by the 11 lite 5g at 100 volume both of them
gaming performance now so this is currently the me11 lite 5g and both of them can run pump g on
the extreme frame rate option with the smooth graphics settings as soon as you change that
it then drops down that frame rate 45 so it's only just 60 on both of these sadly not 90 or 120 hertz
now i have noticed that the me11 lite5g feels at the beginning a lot quicker and after playing
for an hour or so just like the 3dmark results that we saw the performance drops down a little
bit it's not that noticeable however when i play for longer periods i am seeing that now with the
real me gt this is the master edition it's a lot smoother and it seems to maintain and hold uh the
frame rate a lot better in the long run and that's because it's a thicker device a little bit heavier
i've got someone shooting at me right here i can't believe they did not kill me there so that's a bot
obviously so in the end if you are going to game a lot and you want the best long-term
gaming performance with the best average frame rate then i would go for the gt master edition
and then our rear cameras so again very very similar so 64 megapixels f 1.8 main cameras on
both of them they both have eight megapixel ultra wides two megapixel macro camera on the gt master
edition and then on the 11 light that is a five megapixel macro it has the best macro shots
so here are some samples now is exactly what you can expect side-by-side comparison of the
same exact shot so we can see which one of these actually has the best for stills selfies portraits
and video quality so with both of the front-facing cameras here with video we get 1080p maximum and
we don't have any electronic image stabilization for some reason on the real me gt master here
but with the me 11 light we do it's got a closer crop but the footage is a lot smoother more usable
and i do actually prefer it over the real me here for that quality now swap over to the rear cameras
and we'll take a look at what we can also get out of these two phones here with video performance
so main cameras here we've got 4k 30 frames per second support on the m11 light but 4k
30 and 4k 60 with the gt master edition both of them have electronic image stabilization
and unfortunately the weather the last week or so has been often like this just overcast kind
of a little bit stormy here i would like to test it in daylight but that's just the way it is so
running ahead i do think that the electronic image stabilization on the me11 here is performing a
little bit better than what i'm seeing on the real me phone let me know in the comments which one
you think has the best stability and this is now ultra wide video so 1080p that's all we can get on
both of the 8 megapixel sensors on both of these phones here for the ultrawide the field of view
is really basically the same any differences you're seeing right now is just the position
on the mount that i'm using that's all and both of them are using electronic image stabilization
but i think it looks a little steadier here on the me 11 lite 5g versus the real me gt master
all right so i'll keep it real nice and simple here you would go for the me 11 lite 5g for the
nice thin better design slightly better build quality micro sd card support and i feel overall
the best camera certainly when it came to video now if you want the best
screen slightly brighter 120 hertz refresh rate the best overall rom performance and general ui
performance best gaming performance and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack then you would go for
the real me gt master edition now which one of these would i pick hmm it's pretty hard going i
think i would get this the gt master edition for the ui performance the ui optimization the speed
of it and then use a gcam port just to improve a little bit on the photo performance that you can
get out of the 64 megapixel main the ultra wide and the video performance so thank you so much
for watching this in-depth comparison between the me 11 lite 5g the roomy gt master edition
i do hope to see you back in the channel with my next up and coming video so do subscribe for more
