Xiaomi 11T Review

Highlights

  1. The Xiaomi 11T features a 6.67 inches AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
  2. Android 11 operating system helps improve operational tasks.
  3. Instead of having Qualcomm Snapdragon, you will have a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G chipset.
  4. One of the most important selling points is the triple camera with a 108 MP main camera.
  5. A Li-Po 5000mAh battery gives full days of battery life.

Design and Display

Xiaomi 11T smartphone seems to be made for the brand personality. It features a flat edge with a beautiful layout. Looking so amazing, it comes in three colors, Meteorite Grey, Moonlight White, and Sky Blue. With an aluminum frame and a glass back, the 11T is sure to make you so obsessed with its overall look that you won’t be able to stop yourself from picking up the phone. The back panel has a triple camera. While most high-budget phones come with a fingerprint sensor under the display, this model has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

On the front, you’ll go crazy seeing the features on the screen. It features a 6.67 inches AMOLED screen that delivers 1B colors with accurate clarity. Without facing motion blur in any video, you will enjoy a better viewing experience as it is built with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Even you will not be disappointed with different lighting conditions as it features 1000 nits of brightness in peak. Furthermore, 1080p resolution enhances the charm of video quality. So get used to a new adventure with this HDR10+ certified phone.

In terms of measurement, you will be carrying a 203g phone. A standard 8.8mm thick sidebar does not cause any discomfort. Thanks to the Corning Gorilla glass Victus cover, there’s no worry of the device falling out of your hands. Plus, the addition of IP53 protects your phone from water or dust. Above all, these features seem trivial, but equally important to other key features. Let’s look at the internal section.

Memory and Internal

In terms of performance, the Xiaomi 11T will be ahead. As it comes with Android 11, there is an advantage of delivering the best operation with exact smoothness. Forget about bloatware that can frustrate you at times. The important feature that goes unnoticed is the custom interface. The Xiaomi 11T comes with a built-in MIUI 12.5 custom interface that gives you more freedom to use the phone.

On the other hand, there will be some disappointment with your chipset. As the price is high, the phone was expected to come with a Snapdragon. Unfortunately, you have to tolerate the 6 nm MediaTek MT6893 Dimensity 1200 5G chipset, although this is not a bad choice.

You are not exempt from better performance. Because of the chipset’s above-average strength, you are sure to experience incredible performance. The brand classified its Octa-core processor into 3 segments. The maximum clock speed you get is 1×3.0 GHz. With the addition of the Mali-G77 MC9 graphics unit, the visual quality creates an impressive situation.

When you get to the storage section, you’ll see that there are only two variants. The basic is 8GB RAM with 128GB storage while the superior offers a combination of 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Without a doubt, both are perfectly adequate, regardless of the users. Unfortunately, you cannot expand the storage capacity after purchasing any variant because there is no microSD card. So take a cautious decision when buying.

Camera

Another most important feature is your camera, where you can experience the best of your life. The Xiaomi 11T smartphone comes with a triple camera, where you will see a 108 MP main camera. If you have a camera like that, no one can be discouraged in a room. You will definitely go out and take some pictures.

If you’ve always wanted to capture an image worthy of detail, now you can. Each image is so sharp you won’t lose its color. With the advanced autofocus feature, image processing has been improved. But unfortunately, there are no OIS facilities, this is an unnoticed complaint.

If you take a look at the secondary cameras, you’ll have an 8MP ultrawide sensor and a 5MP macro telephoto sensor. The ultra-wide camera is more or less better, but the macro camera proves to be the champion in this device. If you’re fascinated with capturing some close-ups, you can check this out once.

On the other hand, there is a 16 MP selfie camera on the front that claims to be a big competitor with other notable brands. This feature is very demanding nowadays because of its greater clarity. Every smile will be counted with this selfie camera. In terms of color retention, you won’t see any degradation.

Now, let’s cover video recording features. This is another important feature of the 11T phone. The main camera is best suited for recording a maximum of 4K videos, while you can record 1080p videos with the selfie camera. The main camera has a gyro-EIS feature that you’ll miss with the selfie camera. However, recording already stabilized videos gives you plenty of time to experiment in the post-production process.

Battery and Others

There is no disappointment with battery capacity. The Xiaomi 11T phone offers a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery that matches the Pro version as well. With enough long life, one can enjoy a better functioning of this phone. Up to one-day performance is all you get with the 11T phone. Along with the battery, there’s a 67W fast charger that advertises that you can charge the phone to its maximum level in 36 minutes, which is pretty flawless. The brand was priced at $589 (43,000) approx.
