better value for money, cheaper models, with more autonomy…

It is frequent that you need to buy a mobile phone, you like a specific brand and you do not know which model to go for. Especially when that brand is Xiaomi and it has such a wide catalog of mobile phones. Have A mobile for practically every use and budget it is good to get what you are looking for, but bad at the time of the search. So we will try to guide you.

If what you are looking for is a Xiaomi or LITTLE mobile phone, here we are going to tell you which are the best for each category. Because you may want the one that offers a better camera, the one with more autonomy or the cheapest. As we have said, each user has their own priorities when buying a new mobile and Xiaomi covers practically all of them.

Is Xiaomi or Redmi better?

Xiaomi made the decision a few years ago to separate its Redmi product line from the main brand, and to start out on its own. They are still linked to the parent company, of course, but now they have become an independent line. On the one hand we have Xiaomi phones and tablets and on the other hand we have Redmi phones and tablets. Before they formed a single block and now they are blood brothers.

We are talking, therefore, about different brands from the same manufacturer, although Xiaomi has established differences between them beyond the nomenclature. Xiaomi is the brand that receives the highest-end mobile launches, and the one that usually releases the news. Redmi mobiles are more suitable for tighter budgets and tend to have more aggressive prices, although at the cost of being located one step below their brothers.

The best high-end Xiaomi

Right now, the title of best high-end Xiaomi rests on the shoulders of one that has just arrived in the Spanish market. We are talking about the Xiaomi 13 Pro, the most advanced model in many aspects from the manufacturer’s catalog and, yes, it is not cheap at all. We are talking about a super high-end or a premium high-end whose starting price for Spain has been set at 1,399 euros. It will go down over time thanks to the market cycle itself and the offers, but that is its starting price.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro offers us a 6.73-inch AMOLED LTPO super screen capable of refreshing at 120Hz or 1Hz depending on the content we are viewing. It has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at full power, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal space, and its 4,820 mAh battery charges at 120W with cable, at 50W without it and has 10W reverse charging. And best of all, it comes with its photographic equipment with a 1-inch, 50-megapixel sensor as well as an ultra-wide angle with macro focus and a telephoto lens for portraits. All with Leica lenses. The best of the best aboard a Xiaomi.

If we leave the Xiaomi brand and go to its sister, POCO, the chosen one must be the POCO F4 GT. A beast with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that has been in circulation for a year now and that is, to date, the most powerful that we can find in the POCO catalog. Its fast charge is also 120W, we find excellent photographic equipment and a screen whose touch refresh rate reaches 480Hz. He’s asking for games.

The Xiaomi with the best value for money

We are entering a difficult choice because this is where Xiaomi has historically moved best, and it is also doing it with its sister POCO. In this case, we will select three mobile phones to also include the Redmi brand, which is another one that disputes the position for the best value for money phone on the market every year. Let’s see what three options we put on the table.

Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. Our chosen one within the Xiaomi catalog. 6.55-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 778G to stay within half step from the high end and good photographic equipment. We add 33W fast charging and 6GB of base RAM and we have an excellent mobile that also has 5G. It is easy to find it in the range of 350/360 euros, even cheaper if we hunt for an offer.

Redmi Note 11 Pro. In the field of Redmi, the Redmi Note 11 Pro should be our chosen one. Here we have an AMOLED at 120Hz with 360Hz touch, a powerful Helio G96 although it leaves us out of the 5G field and a photographic team with, eye, 108 megapixels for the main camera. The battery charges at 67W, something to take into account, and it is easy to find it for around 300 euros.

LITTLE X5 5G. We were going to recommend here the POCO X5 Pro 5G, Xiaomi’s great bet in this category, but the truth is that the POCO X5 5G becomes more competitive when you put price into the equation. And it is that for 300 euros we have a very balanced mobile in all its lines that offers us 120Hz AMOLED, a Snapdragon 695, 5,000 mAh battery and 48 megapixels for the main camera. It must be our chosen one.

The cheapest Xiaomi mobile

In the case of Xiaomi, once again it is time to talk about the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G. Of the mobile phones officially on sale by Xiaomi, it is currently the cheapest with a price that is below 360 euros on most occasions. We already discussed its specifications before. As soon as we enter the Redmi and POCO catalogs, two other options come out.

The title of the cheapest Redmi mobile of the moment falls to the Redmi A1, a fairly basic mobile but that meets the functions that we all need, such as staying connected through calls, messages, messaging apps and other applications to our liking. Its price is 99 euros, cheaper impossible. And if we want to match the budget and stay at 99 euros, we have the Redmi 9C NFC which also allows us to pay with our mobile.

speaking of LITTLE, the cheapest POCO mobile at the moment is the POCO C40, from its most modest line. Its price is about 120 euros, although if we feel that it falls too short in specifications, we can always raise the budget a bit and go for the POCO M3 and its 149 euros.

The Xiaomi mobile with the best autonomy of the moment

Here it is difficult to pronounce because autonomy is something very particular and depends a lot on how you use the mobile phone, where you live and even what the temperature is in your area. It sounds very crazy but everything affects the consumption of a mobile phone, even if your operator has good or bad coverage. But what we can do is give you a list of which phones have the largest battery that Xiaomi currently has for sale. That is easy. The list, of each of the three ranges, is as follows:

• LITTLE C40: the winner of the POCO catalog is also the most economical. We are talking about a 6,000 mAh battery with an 18W charge.
• Redmi Note 11/11 Pro: In the case of the Redmi, any of the ones we mentioned can serve you. Both with 5,000 mAh battery, both with 67W fast charge. By processor, the Note 11 Pro should spend a little less but, as we have said, this is something very particular.
• Xiaomi 11T/11T Pro: Xiaomi’s first brand has not offered us high-capacity batteries for a long time, opting in its case to improve fast charging generation after generation. So to find its largest battery in circulation at the moment we have to go to the Xiaomi 11T and 11T Pro, both with an internal 5,000 mAh battery.

The ideal Xiaomi for photographers

A debate without too much intricacy, since the Xiaomi with the best camera is currently its latest beast. The Xiaomi 13 Pro has arrived with a one-inch sensor for the main camera, with a super wide-angle camera with macro focus and with a telephoto lens designed specifically for portraits. All this with 50 megapixel cameras and the good work of Leica both for the lenses and for the treatment of the image and the different filters.

In the field of the Redmi, the winner is the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G. At the moment, its 108-megapixel main camera is enough and more than enough to lead its own catalog. The battle in the LITTLE world, however, is somewhat more divided. On the one hand we find the POCO F4 with excellent photographic equipment with 64 megapixels in front. On the other hand, the POCO X5 Pro 5G that has just arrived also stands up quite seriously.

Which Xiaomi mobile to choose?

As you have seen, there options for virtually every taste. Models for those who want raw power, for those who want to optimize their budget to the maximum, for those who want to spend as little as possible and for those who are more fond of photography. Oh, and for those who don’t want to worry about looking for a plug all the time to return a bit of battery to their terminals.

Now the choice is up to everyone. But at the moment, the mobiles that we have considered ideal for each situation are the ones that are reflected there. We will continue to update the article as the new launches displace the models collected here. Choose wisely, but choose Xiaomi.
