1X NEO vs Unitree R1
One row per spec, aligned across 2 robots. A hatched cell means neither the maker nor the directories we read publish that value.
1X NEO or Unitree R1? What the published figures say
assembled from the figures below — no score, no ranking, no winner
Of the 48 measurements both robots publish, the printed values differ on 35 and are identical on 13.
12 of them are one number against another — 1X NEO prints the higher figure on 10, Unitree R1 on 2 — and the other 23 differ in kind rather than in magnitude: a list, a yes/no, a range, or the same quantity printed in a different unit.
On height, 1X NEO is 37%36% higher at against Unitree R1's .
On weight, 1X NEO is 3.2% higher at against Unitree R1's .
On degrees of freedom, 1X NEO publishes and Unitree R1 .
Unitree R1 has figures its sources state as a bound rather than an exact value, so those gaps are not like-for-like.
1X NEO publishes charging method — — and Unitree R1 does not.
Unitree R1 publishes open to developers — — and 1X NEO does not.
The most important differences
ranked by how much of the catalogue publishes the measurement
The 5 most widely published of the 35 measurements where these two differ — ranked that way because a figure most of the catalogue publishes is one that means the same thing on both sides. Every value carries the source that states it.

What each one is
from each robot's own published columns
1X NEO
1X NEO is a preorder bipedal humanoid from 1X Technologies, designed in United States. Its page publishes 88 of 195 sourced specifications, 67 of them from the maker.
Unitree R1
Unitree R1 is a mass production bipedal humanoid from Unitree Robotics, designed in China. Its page publishes 78 of 195 sourced specifications, 39 of them from the maker.
No value in this table has been independently measured or filed with a regulator — every number is a claim by a maker or by a third-party directory, and the chip on each one says which.
