Vivo Y32 Vs Redmi Note 11 4G vs Realme 9i : Specs Comparison

Xiaomi has released a new low-cost handset for the Asian market, the Redmi Note 11 4G. Despite the widespread adoption of 5G, 4G-only phones remain popular, and many people prefer them since they typically allow for significant cost savings. As a result, we were able to compare the Redmi Note 11 4G against two more current 4G phones: the Realme 9i, which was just released in the European market, and the Vivo Y32. They’re all reasonably priced, but which one provides the best value for money? This specs comparison should help you figure it out.

Design

The Realme 9i’s design is my preference in this comparison. It boasts a more elegant camera module than the Redmi Note 11 4G, is less obtrusive, and matches the colour of the back cover. Furthermore, unlike the Vivo Y32, which has a waterdrop notch, it has a punch-hole design for the display, with the punch hole located in the top left corner. The Redmi Note 11 4G, on the other hand, remains appealing because it is the smallest of the three phones. The backside and frame of all of these devices are composed of polycarbonate.

Display

The Redmi Note 11 4G and Realme 9i have the most sophisticated displays. They have two LCD panels with a 1080p Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The Realme 9i boasts a larger 6.6-inch display, while the Redmi Note 11 4G is limited to 6.5 inches. Unfortunately, the Vivo Y32 has a lower HD+ resolution of 720p and a conventional refresh rate of 60 Hz, so expect poor image quality. All of the phones have a fingerprint reader on the side.

Specs & Software

The Snapdragon 680 mobile platform featured in the Realme 9i and the Vivo Y32 outperforms the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset found in the Redmi Note 11 4G. The Vivo Y32 wins the hardware comparison since it has up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage, whilst the Realme 9i only has 6 GB. The trio is pre-loaded with Android 11, with heavily customised user interfaces on top. Which of the following operating systems do you prefer: MIUI, Realme UI, or OriginOS?

Camera

The Redmi Note 11 4G has the greatest rear camera, with a 40 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro sensor. The Realme 9i has the same 50 MP main camera as the Realme 2, but it lacks an ultrawide sensor, instead opting for a worthless depth sensor. The Vivo Y32 has a weak 13 MP dual camera, but its front camera is more fascinating because it has an f/1.8 focal aperture, which should allow for brighter selfies.

Battery

All of these phones have 5000 mAh batteries, however the Vivo Y32 could last longer on a single charge due to its lower resolution display and normal refresh rate. The Realme 9i boasts the fastest charging technology, with a power of 33W, however it does not offer reverse charging, unlike its two competitors.

Price

In China, the Redmi Note 11 4G costs $157/€138, the Vivo Y32 costs €140/$159, and the Realme 9i is currently unavailable in China but can be purchased in India for $203/€179. The Realme 9i wins the comparison due to its superior chipset, faster charging, and overall superior specs.
