Are you looking to change your smartphone? Both companies offer models for all types of pockets, but without a doubt, these are the 5 Best Xiaomi and Realme Smartphones to buy in the U.S in 2021.

What has made these manufacturers sell so much? Basically two things: very good mobiles and with an excellent price for their benefits. Xiaomi and Realme are two Chinese companies that have interrupted the western market by making a lot of noise. The first already has some history on its shoulders, but the Realme case has been a relentless growth in a matter of a few years.

Although both Realme and Xiaomi have more affordable mobiles, the truth is that none of them has a balance as good as the Realme 7. Costing just € 182, the Realme 7 incorporates a MediaTek processor with a gamer seal and 6 GB of RAM, which together with the 90 Hz screen make it a really appetizing mobile. Yes, it is a great purchase if you like to play a lot with your mobile and are not willing to spend too much.

Besides, its quad rear camera with a 48 MP main sensor, macro camera, wide-angle, and even depth sensor makes it even more attractive. Anything else? Thanks to its Warp Charge 30T fast charge, your Realme 7 will be at 100% battery in just over an hour. This is its technical sheet:
