In my opinion the oppo would have the better camera, both phones are really similar and the only differences are in smaller categories that don’t matter as much. Battery life is better on the Oppo and performance is only slightly better on the Xiaomi. The Oppo having the a metal body and also has better waterproof, makes me more personally towards it over the Xiaomi.

screen recording on Oppo very efficient saves so much space compared to iPhone Samsung etc… would like to know how much per hour the Xiaomi uses As my find x5 pro gets under 1GB per hour of screen recording with h.265 setting 1080p adaptive framerate So it’s made me go with the Oppo because no one is testing this really couldn’t find much info so it’s unknown what the Xiaomi scores in this regard that and usually no global version on Xiaomi
