It's generally very difficult to pick one as a winner because it also depends on your requirements. But in this comparison, without any doubt I’ll say realme X7 Max is the winner.

If you have a big screen then you can look at Mi 11X But 6.43’’ is an ideal screen size on X7 Max. Realme X7 Max Vs Mi 11X Full Comparison | Design, Build Quality Etc.
