Moto G32 vs Redmi Note 11: Design and Display
Being affordable budget phones, both the Moto G32 and the Redmi Note 11 have a plastic build. The G32 measures 8.5mm and weighs 184 grams while the Note 11 is thinner at 8.1mm and lighter at 179 grams. The Moto G32 is IP52 rated which makes it water-repellent while Note 11 is IP53 certified making it resistant to dust and water splashes.
The Moto G32 is being offered in two colours: Mineral Grey and Satin Silver. The Redmi Note 11 is available in three colours: Horizon Blue, Space Black and Starburst White.
The Moto G32 features a 6.5-inch display that offers Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate support. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 11 has a slightly smaller display at 6.43-inch but it uses an AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and is topped with Gorilla Glass 3 for added protection.
Moto G32 vs Redmi Note 11: Under the hood

The Snapdragon 680 is a capable processor for daily use but doesn’t perform as great when it comes to gaming. Another drawback of the chip is that it doesn’t support 5G connectivity which is all set to launch later this year in India.
Like all Moto phones, the G32 runs on stock Android 12 with My UX customizations while the Redmi Note 11 runs on MIUI 13 which is based on Android 12. Both phones also support memory expansion via micro SD card wherein the Moto G32 uses the second SIM slot but Note 11 has a dedicated slot.

On the front, the G32 has a 16MP selfie camera while Note 11 has a 13MP sensor. Both phones can record in 1080p at 30FPS.

Moto G32 vs Redmi Note 11: Early thoughts
Since both the Moto G32 and the Redmi Note 11 are powered by the same Snapdragon 680 chip, there’s little difference in their performance metrics.
