OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S: performance

These top two smartphones are equipped with power.Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB of RAM. In this respect, OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S offer similar performance. On Geekbench, Xiaomi’s flagship slightly outperforms its rival with 9071 multi-core and 2447 single-core scores. OnePlus 6, on the other hand, does not exceed 2419 and 9011. In use, this small difference should not be felt too much.

In terms of autonomy, the OnePlus 6 is slightly better than the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. During our testing, the smartphone managed to last two days in conventional use. To reach two days, he will have to use his opponent sparingly. The other advantage of OnePlus 6 is Dash Charge V2. This is simply the best fast charging on the market. According to our estimates, the smartphone is fully charged in just 20 minutes. Unlike the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, the OnePlus 6 is not compatible with QI wireless charging.

OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S: design

In terms of design, it’s easier to decide between the two smartphones in this comparison. If you’re one of the many who are allergic to notches, the bezel-less LCD of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S should appeal more to you. On the other hand, if the notch does not bother you, the OnePlus 6 can make you look good, especially since its all-glass shell has the most beautiful effect. As a reminder, the OnePlus 6’s notch may have been camouflaged since an update. Small detail that makes a difference for some: OnePlus 6 is still equipped with a jack, unlike Xiaomi’s smartphone.

Against this backdrop, the two flagships find themselves in pocket handkerchiefs once again. Although the OnePlus 6 dual photo sensor manages to take excellent photos that are very detailed and very true to life, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is still trying to get out of the game thanks to the addition of artificial intelligence. However, this integration remains more timid than Huawei smartphones like the P20 or Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Xiaomi is expected to improve its copy in future updates.

In the portrait space, the OnePlus 6 manages to beat the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. During our testing, we really appreciated the OnePlus 6’s portrait mode, thanks to its controlled blur effects and very precise contours. It’s the same story on the self-portrait side. Unfortunately, his opponent is disappointing on the field with poor blur management. From this perspective, we prefer the OnePlus 6, which offers a more complete and balanced experience.
