I've had the Redmi for about a week and these are the things that made me choose it over the a53: 1. The capacitive fingerprint sensor is WAY better - more reliable and faster - than the a53 cheap optical sensor and trust me, this is a real deal breaker 2. The 120W charging with the brick IN the box is super convenient and while it's not great for the battery I usually use a 33W charger from my old Poco F3(which is still faster than what the a53 can do + you have to buy the charger) to preserve the battery and it still does 0-100% in less than an hour 3. The Redmi is cheaper, comes with the charging brick, has a better processor, and the JBL tuned stereo speakers are pretty loud and clear for such a cheap device
Please review Redmi K50 which will not be launching globally, seems like a interesting device as Cheapest phone with 2K 120Hz OLED display, huge 5500mAh battery and OIS enabled main camera and ofcourse Dimensity 8100 which I think will be the next 'SD870'
One important thing to note is that the A53 is supposed to get OS upgrades until Android 16 (4 upgrades and 5 years of security updates) while the Note 11 Pro+ might only get Android 12 (Redmi historically only provides 1 OS upgrade and 2-3 years of security updates).
@@TTks124 The Exynos 1280 on the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is NOT faster than the Exynos 1200 BUT the Exynos 990 is more powerful than the Exynos 1280 on the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G no yo add Xiaomi are giving you a 120W HyperCharge in the BOX!!!
Thank you Chris another great video, just reading through all the comments on these phone's and you can see the Samsung and Xiaomi fans putting their points across with passion, well all I can say is I buy the phone that's within my budget at the time I require and what I see is if you took the camera's from the Samsung and the rest from the Xiaomi you would have a great phone.
Although the software support offered by Samsung is tempting. I don't see myself using a midrange phone for more than 3 yrs. More for less, seems like a, winning recipe, that most would prefer here Chris. I personally would go for the Xiami as, well. 👍 Great Content from you Sir as always 👌👌
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke, one update doesn't last 3 years..
@@roboticvenom1935 i think that Xiaomi released many devices with MIUi 13 based on Android 11 instead of 12 intentionally so they'll have to devote less time to these devices, in short, it will shorten their software support period, which is already short compared to Samsung.
my Galaxy A51 got Android 12 update faster than most of the Xiaomi devices, and i'm sure that it will get Android 13 faster than future Xiaomi smartphones
Is it true the Exynos Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older Snapdragon A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras now? Which ones would you guys choose in terms of general camera quality & performance and video recording? Would you still go for the Note 11 Pro+ in terms of cameras?
there is no phone in that price segment or above with "dedicated SDcard,3.5 audio jack & OIS" except a52s...if only the chips would've been upgraded to MTK9000 series and the camera to imx766,charging speed to 33W and 5000mah, even with a little higher price, the new model,let's call it a53s, would've been perfect choice for many customers,if not all.
My bro got the A53 also for 200€. Bought from someone online , brand new though. And Damm, i felt some stutters using that phone. And mind u, i usually use a Redmi note 9T
Thanks for the review, been looking to upgrade and this year phones midrange phones definitely seems to come with way caveats than before. I'm just glad Note 11 still has the classic trio of large screen, IR blaster, headphone jack and microsd card features despite the rather average camera. On a side note, I also need to see if that 120W charger and that custom cable can also work as a 65W USB-PD charger despite it being a Type A port.
@@SomeOldGamers not everyone's a photo freak, ya know? That ain't the note 11's battleground as you could see on the gaming test. The 2 phones are very similar on the other points (charging excluded), so it comes down to what you wanna do with your phone. As someone who doesn't take pictures or videos a lot, the cameras on the note 11 are fine by my standards and are counter-balanced by the perfs anyway, therefore i'll go with that one. But i also know friends for who the camera is the most important and they'd go for the A53 for that. As i like to say: life's never white or black, it's never a one fight case
The IR blaster is a life saver when traveling. Headphone jack is still useful because I have both wired and BT earphones. Micro SD card lets me backup my photos and videos without filling up my cloud account. Yes Redmi is still good, but I wish MIUI was as polished as, say, Realme UI.
A 52s still a great deal. Samsung messed up with the A53 by slapping a chip that most likely won't get the support you'd hope for from developers. I tried the A 53 and it suffered so bad when heavy tasking lags, crashes and you name it. As long as samsung stick to snap dragon chips that's an easy win for samsung for me.
Your comment has aged poorly. Samsung has already improved performance with updates. I also honestly don't trust a second-tier Chinese company not to give the CCP spies access to my phone. I need my phone to be a secure device and you really wouldn't have that with the Note. As for the A52, you can basically turn Genshin Impact settings up a notch and burn through your battery 50% faster than the A53. So have fun with reduced battery life and knowing you aren't giving a damn about the environment. I am glad that, after using inefficient competitor chips for years, Samsung is getting back to making their own chips.
Had a really bad experience with Xiaomi/Redmi before about the quality and software so yeah, even though Redmi offered better specs, provide a charger, screen protector and so on at a cheaper price, I'll still go for Samsung.
Pretty sure you never owned a Xiaomi and you're just talking shit. Samsung midrange phones are garbage and lack the details of what Xiaomi offers at the same price point. You might as well buy a Motorola.
Cameras are really rubbish on the Redmi for the price. The photos were very blurry. The hm2 sensor has not been good on any phone and uses such a slow shutter speed on every phone it's used on. If you check the file info on photos you'll notice how slow it is resulting in lots of blurry shots with any moving subjects. To be honest both of these not great for the price. I think last year's models are better. You can get snapdragon 888 phones and dimensity 1200 phones for this price now that are better all round phones if you are willing to pick up a model from last year. There has been virtually no progress in smartphones in the last 2 years apart maybe from screens and there are great prices on last year's models so they make more sense. Just pick up a Xiaomi 11t with dimensity 1200 and much better cameras for example or something like that instead of the Redmi and you will have a much better phone for around the same price. Rant over. Nice comparison by the way as always. You are always very fair in your analysis
@@Techtablets True. Even the normal indoor shots on the Redmi are terribly blurry e.g. the pic of your daughter but all of the indoor pics really. Apart from cameras it seems like a good phone. Thanks for the review
Absolutely true...I have a 2-year-old Mi Note 10 and as for the performance is quite enough...as for the cameras, even the twice as expensive models from Xiaomi since then do not reach the qualities of this mobile
@@mark46ification Yeah, it's a pity they never really followed up on that phone. A flagship camera setup with a midrange chip. There are so many phones these days with flagship processors and midrange cameras but i think the mi note 10 might be the last one with a midrange chip and flagship cameras (can't think of any since that anyway)
1)Well optimised midrange SOC 2)flagship camera ( atleast main camera ) 3)good screen ( best 1080 display available out there) 4) IP 68, Expandable storage & 3.5 mm jack That's an ideal phone for most of the people ( except gamers though)
I hate my a52s so much, for daily user it stutter alot, and SOOOOOoOo uncomfortable to hold with boxy design. I always come back to my 4 years old xiaomi cc9 for medias consumption , and lighter and apparantly has better colour on the screen too. Im eyeing for nova 9 with 175gr only but no gms.
@@mantapdjiwa9768 huh stutters a lot compared to redmi c9? What's that 😂 MIUI is crap and xiaomi phones have been known for ghost touch and sudden death without apparent reason
You forgot to mention the four years of OS updates and five years of security updates with Samsung. Plus Samsung is fastest by far with updates. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung released Android 13 before Redmi even released Android 12. But I would love to pick Redmi if only they offered faster and longer software updates. One or two years just doesn't cut it with me.
The important thing on the redmi is to get new updates of MIUI, not the underlying android version. I have never felt any difference between android versions on MIUI given the same version of MIUI.
Can we talk about the fact that samsung artificially limits your ability to install / move apps to your memory card so that the phone memory gets full faster and you change your phone because you can't install more apps ? (On certain models like the A21s) or the fact that you ca't prevent the phone from killing app you precisely told it not to kill ?
same, used both Samsung and Xiaomi devices from same time period and price segment, yeah Xiaomi is better in terms of specs and a bit faster overall but MIUI just kills it, i switched back to a bit less powerful Samsung and i'm happy with it.
For me MIUI is much more preferrable because it is high performance compared to One UI. One UI is bloated and always gets slower when a new device is released on the older devices.
@@cmfrtblynmb02 One UI is not more bloated than MIUI. MIUI is the heaviest skin on any Android and it's default aggressive ram and battery saving settings frequently stop apps running in the background and mess them up
i don't know if it's just me but I prefer the screen of the a53. it has wider colour space on 6:21. it is wider in all areas compared to note 11 pro+ which already turns white on areas where Samsung's gamut continues
The a53 really has a better screen. Even on 6:49 the numbers and boxes are legible on the a53. 50 nits of brightness isn't much of a difference to wash out whatever is displayed especially since he is using a good camera to record the video
The cameras are close. Unfortunately Redmi chose not to support image stabilization video on 4k 30. I don't get that especially when they could add a few bucks more on final price and folks would be happy to pay the difference. Also c'mon with the 2 mp macro. Make that a 5mp.
I used to be an Apple guy until one day I tried editing a word document and couldn't, downloaded the app, wouldn't work, had to connect to iTunes which took two hours to update, then realised I couldn't store anything on my iPhone so I switched to android. Since then I've been buying these high spec Chinese brands and have been thoroughly satisfied with them. Until now. These days I look forward to better software and new android features which the Chinese brands seem to offer extremely late and if you're lucky, you get two updates and 3 years of security patches. So with the powerful hardware still working brilliantly, I find myself feeling the need to replace my phone prematurely just to get the newer android versions. That's why I'm now switching over to Samsung, 4 years of major android updates and 5 years of security patches. I hate that they make you buy a charger separately but I'd rather spend $25 more on a charger and then have something that continually feels fresh with updates for 4 or 5 years than to get a great rush from something like my current realme and then know it's only downhill from there.
Nice comparison, I don't care about the 120W charge of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ for me the Samsung is more efficient and very solid also it has the best screen on the market so I prefer it
Now I have 3 phone, Iphone 13 pro max, new samsung s22 ultra and new chipest phone is Redmi note 11 pro+. Now I am use 11 pro+ about 1 week. This phone is very worth buying. This camera is also good but not very great likè my s22U and IP 13 pro max. But speaker on Redmi 11 pro+ is great and sound use 3 direction is tôp n bottom firing and earpiece hole also too. When I am download costum EQ poweramp, the decibel sound is very awesome and better than my 13 pro max and s22U. Thanks for JBL tunes and use with linear magnet speaker on this phone chip phone only 300+US dollar and 1599myr(Ringgit Malaysia). Great job Xiaomi.👍👍👍
Great review. Xiaomi appears to be the winner based on hardware, while A53 is the winner on camera and UI. What is your view on overall longer term durability/reliability on either brands?
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke
@@roboticvenom1935 you sound ignorant just so you know xioami supports custom roms My 3 yr old redmi note 7 is running on the latest android 12 rn. 4 yrs is a joke compare to custom roms
@@roboticvenom1935 You do not seem to get how it works. The underlying android version does not make any noticeable difference on MIUI. It is the version of MIUI that is important when it comes to phones from Xiaomi. It is not like Pixel-devices where a new android version means a updated UI.
@@flipp081 what's this MIUI cope? "does not make any noticeable difference" like when android 12 noted important and specific under the hood efficiency improvements and reworkings? Furthermore, these devices don't get many MIUI updates in general, mostly security patches But you're right, Xiaomi has the worst android 12 build of any company on the planet. It has essentially none of the new and cool features from A12(besides widget animations), outdated trash
@@roboticvenom1935 You say that all the time but is not true. Is basically two Android updates from the one currently on market. My Mi Max 3 had Android 7 when I got it but it went to Android 10. I have a Redmi Note 9 Pro(2020 phone) and is on the list of getting Android 12 update and MIUI 13 although still on Android 11. It had Android 10 when I got it. It is already pass two years so I assume that will be the last major update. My Redmi Note 10 Pro(2021 phone) came with Android 10 as well but now is on Android 12 and is listed for Android 13 update and am certain that update will come much later than 2 years on the phone life. So is not really one year at all. Meanwhile system apps etc get updates still even on MiMax 2 and 3 that are 5 and 4 years old.
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS OS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's a fucking joke.
A53 is good but why not wait until summer when it's likely updated to A53s with a faster processor? Or just buy a cheaper A52s instead with better Snapdragon 778g and charger, and that same Snapdragon chip comes with excellent Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE version which is glass and much lighter 158 grams and also gets 3 OS updates 4 years security updates. ADDED in June: There's no chance of a A53s model this Summer, maybe in the Autumn at earliest?
i would go for A53 because of One UI, longer software support (at least 3 Android updates) i used both MIUI and One UI and One UI is much better. Also imo Samsung photo processing is better in terms of dynamic range and night mode, also 4k video recording from front camera which is still not an option even for Xiaomi flagships.
Samsung has good software and other stuff the only big differences is chipset, dimensity 920 is two times powerful than the exynos used in Samsung a53. but if you are a casual user not a big deal.
@@azwads5126 not everyone has the possibility of having a separate camera with the appropriate lenses at all time, that's where good sensors on the A53 comes in. If you prefer perfs, like me, we'd both go for the note 11 pro+, but for people who prefer good cameras on their phones, the A53 is better suited. I'll repeat what i said in another answer: life's never white or black, it's never a one fight case
@@ratata42 are you kidding? Samsung offers 3 Android updates for higher A series smartphones such as A51, A52, A53 while Xiaomi gives 3 Android updates only to their flagships.
I hate the Samsung A5 line of phones with a passion, I had A5, A50 and A52 from my company and all were absolute crap after few months. After 1y the batteries started to be a farce, and the system fluidity diminished with every update. Never ever Samsung again!!!
I have the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in my Aliexpress shopping cart right now just waiting to pull the trigger. It's that, or the Umidigi a13 Pro Max 5G, or the Poco X4. I feel like the Note 11 Pro+ is the best choice. My Mi Max 3 is over four years old now,it's my daily driver, and is an amazing phone but it's slowing down a tad and still on Android 9(rooted and running Derpfest rom) and I want another phone that is as large to replace it. Awesome video. Very thorough. Thanks Double T!
no even with boost no reviewers are getting 15 minutes, xiaomi lies about their charging time anyways, when it hits 100%, It isn't actually 100%, it will continue to slowly charge for 10-25 minutes more! Look it up, investigated by Anandtech, google pixel meanwhile who's honest, doesn't do this.
will samsung be releasing an A53s? The A52s is still quite a good deal to this date, at least the A52s still has a charger (though just 15W) and case in the box
@@markoroncevic maybe they could put the new Dimensity 1300 for the A53s? I'm just guessing, no real leaks about that but I hope they would release an A53s with processor upgrade like the A52s
I was not surprised when samsung priced this A53 500usd here, its samsung, but xiaomi launched the 11pro+ for almost 400usd, not the redmi I used to know. Mi 11T is so close to its price, hope the rumored mi 12 lite will not break the 400usd mark.
For some price Xiaomi offers more performance while you've got really better camera system on the Samsung. If you don't care about the camera than the Redmi is the winner but to me it's even not an option.
After I look this video, I was buy a Xiaomi. Passed 6 month, and I didn't regret single cent for what I pay for Xiaomi. Fantastic phone. And yes, about 20 minutes for charging time 10%-100% battery.

I got into Redmi phones 2 years back and I started with Redmi note 9 but till this Day I'm having it . I wanna upgrade to Redmi note 12 pro like I'm just soo much into Redmi phones with the whole durability . I love love the phones honestly.
Why? It is 2022. What are you doing with your phone that requires an analog audio jack? You do know it isn't just something free that gets tossed in? You have to pay for it and this was Samsungs very reasonable solution to help keep the price below $500. Never ceases to amaze me how so many people can fail to understand the basics of the economic process.
@@SomeOldGamers I Do My Pre Recording On My Phone With The 3.5mm Jack So It Means Allot To Me Especially In The Moment Freestyling I Can Jump On My Phone And Record ASAP
Even if Xiomi gives best deal but SAMSUNG status is much high , its literally feel cheap while using Mi every time ads and vulgar notifications. No charger in the box is ok for me cause i already have 2 Samsung chagers
You had to press the Samsung screen 3 times there to unlock it.. so how was that quicker than the redmi ?????? Redmi smashed it on 1st touch 🤷 Just saying..
I think your impression of JBL is affecting your objectivity of analyzing the speakers. Maybe the conditions are throwing me off but, as a university trained vocal performer and composer, I say the Samsung is noticeably better. The Redmi just sounds washed out and overprocessed. The Samsung sounds like the fuller, more expansive sound. The Redmi might have slightly more punch to it but the balance sounds terrible. JBL has sacrificed audio fidelity for volume. It is frankly surprising but it is what it is. Nobody expects a phone to bump the bass but I do expect at this point to have accurate reproduction of mid and high range sounds. The Redmi is for someone who might spontaneously start playing a song they like at a gathering. The Galaxy will be more useful to a musician who occasionally listens to something without headphones as a quick reference. The lack of headphone jack is immaterial in 2022. And that is from someone who will have to buy a new cassette adapter for their 21 year old car. I had a phone with IR for 4 years and never used it once. I seem to be able to not lose my TV remote. Thermostat? If I upgrade from my basic one, it will have bluetooth and wifi. Any "smart" devices in my home have both those features. The Redmi video makes you look like you really need to moisturize. As for the clouds, there is no comparison, the A53 is far superior. The water looks "dull" with the Note 11. Samsung makes it look appropriately partly cloudy when the Redmi makes it look like solid pea soup. There seems to be no dimensionality to the background in the Redmi, just washed out, like a disposable 35mm film camera. The A53 processor has Tensor cores to provide AI image stabilization and correction. And does it so effortlessly. I remember the effort I had to make with an old SLR when I was studying photography in secondary school that it was difficult to do as well as the A53. Half the time, they ended up looking more like the Note. Some of it may be the Tensor cores and some of it may be the sensors. But I have studied enough optics, scientifically, to know a lot of what is going on here is about lenses, apertures and exposures.
I totally luv redmi fones they are totally epic awesome brilliant I've taken amazing photos and video recording going to live concerts and watching you videos is out of this world I've never been a galaxy or Samsung fones i use to be a a Sony freak until I was interjusted to redmi so oh yes yes yes yes yes 🎉🎉🎉they are brilliant awesome amazing mobile company 100 percent happy 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉
Don't forget the Poco F3. It may be nearly a year old but it's still the best budget phone out there. With that 870 chip, 120hz Amoled display and 33W fast charging, it's a quality phone for the money and no phone at the £210-£250 price range beats it.
Yeah, Xiaomi always has superior hardware for the price but take this from someone who has been using various Xiaomi / Poco phones in the last 4 years - MIUI is sooo inconsistent. I am currently on the POCO F3 with MIUI 13 over Android 12 and this UI killed the phone. Multiple features don't work, the experience is laggy and overall awful. They did the same thing with MIUI 12 - a lot of bugs on release, they managed to iron them out a few months ago finally and now it's the same story all over again with the 13. So while you can't get the same specs with a Samsung device for the same price at least you get somewhat reliable software support and quicker updates which, to me at least is more important at the end of the day.
Yea I have been trying to find another phone manifacturer to switch to because of the Xiaomi software issues but no one offers phones with these specs for this kind of money.
@@Radu93Z Yup, just got the A53 myself. Coming from the POCO F3 with the snapdragon 870 it's going to take some getting used to. It's noticeably slower, but at least for now everything seems to work as expected
@@soheiladam7510 Well, if it works fine for you then great. I was on the EU version and the DND mode did not work at all so I was getting sound notifications in the middle of the night. The overall performance became slower as well. The notification issues MIUI had with Messanger were not fixed, too. So I will be steering clear of MIUI phones for the next couple of years and hopefully they manage to sort their software our by then. After a day with the A53 this is what I can say - yes, the performance is slower and will take some getting used to if you are coming from a flagship processor. However, everything works as intended for now and the speakers and camera are better than on the Poco F3 + the phone is more compact and light. I don't mind the plastic finish, I actually prefer not getting a heart attack when I drop it
@kalels Hey, that's the thing, I don't wanna have to do a factory reset every time I get an update or to waste time flashing ROMs. I actually think MIUI looks good and has nice features but they just have too many models right now so software optimization must be a nightmare. They have to stop coming up with so many similar phones, focus on a few basic model groups and price tiers so they can focus on making bug free software. Hopefully they can figure that out soon, so I can go back to another budget phone with great features
i was already pointed for Xiaomi now that i saw the video i am more than confident of my choice, and btw the fingerprint on screen of Samsung is working with clean fingers but when comes with dust you will get angry.
a fair comparison mate y have done here. as always y should point out L1 support on both don't mean the same opportunities. what I mean is that: yes Netflix should run at HD resolution on both devices. BUT, what about Amazon prime or Disney plus? HD only on the Samsung ;) this might be a important info for many customers. hopefully you can opt in y videos in the future? IP rating in tropic inviroments: the Samsung do have, Redmi doesn't. Redmi is shipped with Android 11!!!! in consideration of the less numbers of full Android updates here, Samsung is truly the better choice. I wish you a great day mate. keep up doing content :)
Hi Chris, I love your channel! thank you for the time and effort you've put into it. I need to choose between note the 11 pro plus 5g and the 11 lite 5g NE - Performance on the 11 lite seems better. Considering that I don't really need super speed charging and a 3.5mm jack, would you still recommend this over the lite NE?
Im using lg g8s. S855. And to be honest phone is from 2019 but OIS with 4k 60fps. And better chipset than both of them. I buyed mine in the store he was brand new. But it is shameful that phones from 400 euros still don't have 4k 60 fps. Buy lg g8x or lg g8s before this two
Personally, I wouldn't go for either of these and choose the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G instead. It's not the best in terms of charging speed or battery life but it does have the 778G and the camera quality isn't far off from what these can do. Not to mention it's promised 3 years OS/4 year security updates is better than what the Redmi might get.
Good one 👌 Which app do you use for GPS testing? The way that PUBG frame rates work, I believe, is the phone manufacturer has to pay the game manufacturer for them to enable any modes above 30FPS for a particular phone model.
Lovely photos and videos.. Great video.. tough choice...Good review.. Samsung needs to up their game.. I really hope they can live up to their promise updates of 3 to 4 years! Good updates that is.. as the A52s had a bad one..
Not what you were asking, but I'd go for the Samsung, just not the A53, but the A52s. For the following reasons: 1. You didn't talk about this, but I'm of the opinion that Android support is more important than ever. Samsung offers three Android updates and four years of security updates for the A52s (one more year for the A53, which also comes with Android 12 vs. A11). Xiaomi's reputation for Android updates isn't very good, but the Redmi Note will probably get A12 / Miui 13 whenever they feel like it. A13 is anybody's guess... 2. You already commented that both phones feel unfinished. Samsung is struggling with A12 on its own Exynos processors (...). Xiaomi has released this Redmi Note with A11 / Miui 12 (...) Really? The A52s has a Snapdragon, which is much better supported, and A12 / OneUI 4.1 seems to run smoothly on it... 3. The improvements of the A53 over the A52s are not worth the money, I think. The processor on the A53 is a step back (at least for now). The cameras are the same. A12 / OneUI works better on the A52s. The A53 loses the headphone jack (...). 4. The price. The previous generation Redmi Note (Poco X3 Pro 8/256GB) can be had for €250 in Europe. The A52s (6/128GB) costs around €310. For me, the €60 are worth the better Android support, fluidity and guarantee for future Android and Security updates. Love your work! Keep it up; we crave the quality content! 🙏🙏🙏
Talking about support, A53 will go till Android 16 unlike A52s which will touch Android 14. How could you skip that lol? The camera's too are better on A53 thanks to the better ISP of Exynos 1280 and better image processing. Infact, A53 doesn't even take more than 1-2 secs for processing even in night-mode. The display too on A53 has been upgraded in terms of brightness and colour calibration, check it side by side. Battery-life too has beeen increased by half-hour. The performance part is indeed better with Sd 778 but not significantly. Neither of them can compete with similarly priced phones with Sd 888 in performance or gaming anyways.
I can prefer Samsung because of a good and sharper photos and videos. With I.S. the photos are good at night also. But I can go for Redmi if am not a fun of camera for video and photos. And also with density 920 . Redmi is powerful for gaming that Samsung.
