In the past week OnePlus he presented us his new flagship killer, the most expensive so far, and of course the first comparative that we have to dedicate is against that of Xiaomi, the other great alternative to the stars of the high range for those who are looking for a phablet with the best quality / price ratio, so that you can decide which one is more worthwhile: OnePlus 6 vs. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.
Designer
Although of course the two boast full-screen front, some of the most notable differences between the two (the most obvious, at least), we already have it in the design section, with the Mi Mix 2S that maintains the lines that have characterized its predecessors, with a somewhat broader frame at the bottom, and the OnePlus 6 adding to the list of phablets inspired by the iPhone X with its corresponding notch. Other differences to take into account are the materials, since the phablet of OnePlus comes with a glass casing while the one of OnePlus you get more than usual betting on ceramics. It should also be noted that the first maintains the headphone jack port, but the second does not. Both have a USB port, yes, although neither leaves us certified water resistance.
Dimensions
The formula used by XiaomiIn any case, it seems that it gives the best result when it comes to reducing the dimensions as much as possible (15,57 x 7,54 cm against 15,09 x 7,49 cm) but it must be taken into account that it starts with some advantage because, as we will see below, its screen is a little smaller. In fact, despite being more compact, it is somewhat heavier (177 grams against 191 grams) and its thickness is somewhat greater, although the difference is minimal (7,8 mm against 8,1 mm).
Screen
As we just mentioned, the screen of the OnePlus 6 is smaller than the Mi Mix 2S and that this already fully enters the territory of the largest phablets (6.28 inches against 5.99 inches). There are other differences to take into account, be that as it may, since they use panels of different materials (AMOLED vs LCD) and they do not have exactly the same aspect ratio, the first being even more elongated (19: 9 compared to 18: 9 ). What they do agree on is that they arrive with Full HD resolution (2280 x 1080 against 2160 x 1080), a point at which they lag behind the other high-end range.
Unlimited
Where they are more evenly matched, which is also the section where they least have to envy the flagships they intend to unseat, is in performance: in both cases we find a Snapdragon 845 (eight cores with a maximum frequency of 2,8 GHz) and we have two versions, one with 6 GB of RAM and another 8 GB. The main difference in this area is in the software, because both arrive, of course, with Android Oreo, but with different customizations.
Storage capacity
They are also quite even when it comes to storage capacity, both for the good, which is that the two offer us a minimum of 64 GB internal memory, as for the bad, which is neither has a card slot micro-SD. In both cases we also have versions of 128 GB and 256 GB if we need more space, although with differences in relation to RAM.
Cameras
We will have to wait to see what the experts say OnePlus 6, but for now the Mi Mix 2S you already know that it is a difficult rival to beat in the cameras section, with a dual of 12 SM, with f / 1.8 aperture, 1,4 um pixels, 4-axis optical image stabilizer and x2 optical zoom. In its rival we also have a dual camera of 20 SM, with f / 1.7 aperture and optical image stabilizer. The battle when it comes to the front camera is similar in that the phablet of OnePlus expires in number of megapixels (16 SM against 5 SM), but in that of Xiaomi we have larger pixels (1,4 um).
Autonomy
We can draw even fewer conclusions regarding which of the two will win in autonomy, taking into account that consumption can only be measured effectively with comparable real use tests, but at the moment it seems that the one that starts with advantage is the Mi Mix 2S, with a larger capacity battery (3300 mAh against 3400 mAh) for a smaller screen.
OnePlus 6 vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, the two deliver well on the promise of giving us a quality alternative to the higher-priced high-end phablets, and have similar strengths (the performance section) and weaknesses (the Quad HD screen), with a exception, cameras, where the phablet of Xiaomi shines especially.
We should put in favor of the phablet of Xiaomi also having a lower price, but the difference is actually so small (520 Euros against 500 Euros) that the most reasonable is to consider them in a technical tie. Yes, the Mi Mix 2S You can buy it directly from Spain.
