Design
In my honest opinion, the most amazing design is the Xiaomi Mi 11. Those curved edges and the original camera module make the difference. But if you take the leather variant of the Realme GT, you will see a device as beautiful as the standard Mi 11. However, the Xiaomi Mi 11 also comes in a leather variant. The design is not the strongest point of the Redmi K40 Pro, but it is IP53 certified, so it is splash and dust resistant.
Display
No problem: Xiaomi Mi 11 is the display champion. Firstly, it is the only one with Quad HD + resolution, so it offers higher levels of detail and clarity. Plus, it can display up to one billion colors and has a higher peak brightness of 1500 nits. The phone also has a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10 + certification and a 6,81-inch wide diagonal. Right after that, we got the Redmi K40 Pro with a 6,67-inch display with Full HD + resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10 +, as well as a high peak brightness of 1300 nits.
Hardware / software
All of these phones are powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, which delivers flagship-class performance levels. What changes to the memory configuration: With the Redmi K40 Pro, you don't get more than 8 GB of RAM, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 and Realme GT 5G provide up to 12 GB of RAM. The software is exactly the same on Mi 11 and Redmi K40 Pro (MIUI), while you get a different UI with Realme GT 5G (Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11).
Camera
Despite not being a flagship camera phone, the Xiaomi Mi 11 also offers the best main camera: it's a 108MP sensor with OIS. The Redmi K40 Pro and Realme GT have a lower 64MP main camera and lack OIS, so they cannot be considered high-end camera phones unlike the Mi 11.
Battery
There shouldn't be much difference between the battery life of these three devices, given the similar battery capacities and components. The Xiaomi Mi 11 should have a higher consumption due to the larger display with a higher resolution. On the other hand, it is the only one with wireless charging and we are talking about very fast 50W wireless charging. But the Realme GT is the fastest phone with 65W SuperDart charging technology.
Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Realme GT vs Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro: Price
The Realme GT 5G costs less than € 360 / $ 424, and the Redmi K40 Pro in China costs around € 259 / $ 305, while for the Xiaomi Mi 11 you need around € 517 / $ 600. the best phone in this comparison, the Realme GT 5G offers the highest value for money: I prefer it to the Redmi K40 Pro because of its faster charging technology, but if that doesn't matter to you, the Redmi K40 Pro can save you even more money.
