Comparison review
Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 has an overall score of 81.2, which is a bit better than the HTC U11 life's 74.5 overall score. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 construction is just a bit thinner but notably heavier than the HTC U11 life, and both were only released with a couple months difference. The HTC U11 life counts with just a bit better looking display than Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, because although it has a quite lower resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a just a little greater amount of pixels per inch in the screen.
Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 counts with a slightly bigger storage capacity for applications and games than HTC U11 life, because although it has no slot for SD memory cards, it also counts with 256 GB internal storage capacity. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 counts with a little faster CPU than HTC U11 life, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 also has a greater amount of RAM memory.
HTC U11 life takes a little bit better photographs and videos than Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, a same size aperture and the same video frame rate, the HTC U11 life also has a camera in the back with much more mega pixels. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 has longer battery life than HTC U11 life, because it has a 31 percent bigger battery capacity.
Although Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 is a better device, it costs a lot more than HTC U11 life, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as HTC U11 life. If you prefer to save some money, you can get the HTC U11 life, giving up a few features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
