Google Pixel

As we know, Google is an American multinational technology company which has mainly specializes in internet services like search engines, cloud computing, software.

It is not powered by the premium flagship processor but the good 1.8 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor.

The display is on the smaller side, so the battery of 4080mAh is more than enough to run it the whole day. It supports fast charging as well as wireless charging and reverses wireless charging. It gets 8 GB of RAM on it with 128 GB of storage. Pixel has beaten the other mobile phones in the camera comparison since its first launch.

Comparison of Google pixel and Xiaomi

Both the phones are good in their own way. One might have got advantages in some area and disadvantages in some area if we compare the two phones. They vary according to the persons and their choices.

Display

Speaking about the Display, there’s no comparison when it comes to displaying quality. The Xiaomi Mi 11’s screen is top of the line, whereas the Google Pixel 5’s lies somewhere in the second or third tier. The Xiaomi Mi 11 display is also extremely fast, whereas pixel 5 is considerably slower.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 11 uses the brute force approach, with a huge, top-end 108MP f/1.9 Samsung ISOCELL HM3 image sensor. At the same time, Google relies way more on its algorithmic smarts in the Pixel 5 camera. Google no longer has the lead on image quality as Xiaomi Mi 11 camera.

Performance

Without any doubt, Xiaomi wins the performance stakes. The Xiaomi Mi 11 benchmarks way higher than the Pixel 5. The Pixel 5 uses slower LPDDR4x memory rather than the Mi 11’s LPDDR5 RAM.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 runs on a 4600 mAh battery, significantly larger than the Pixel 5’s 4080 mAh cell. Xiaomi Mi 11 would burn through a full charge pretty quickly, given a chance. The Pixel 5 only has support for 18W wired and 12W wireless, so you must wait more than an hour for a full charge if you’re really low.

Budget

Both of these phones undercut the $1,200 / £1,200 smartphone heavyweights. While the Google Pixel 5 only approximates the flagship experience, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is very hard to distinguish from those pricier rivals. If you’re not willing to pay more than $699 / £599 for your next phone, the Pixel 5 remains an excellent option.

Others

Mi 11 is a huge phone, and pixel 5 is a compact phone in size. Pixel 5 has got clean UI and has not got any unwanted apps. Pixel is more secure because it is backup by google. Pixel 5 will get the android update faster while Xiaomi updates take some time. Mi 11 is very good for multimedia purposes.
