Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite NE - forced measures

Why is the manufacturer suddenly changing the specifications of its smartphones? Often the reason for such changes lies in the response to criticism of the weaknesses of gadgets from buyers and critics, or in the need to make the product more relevant. In the case of the hero of today's review, everything is much more complicated.

The processor of the novelty was released by Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G , which is a stripped-down version of the 780G chip. The lack of the original CPU forced Xiaomi to use a chipset change, however, in everyday life, the metamorphosis is almost imperceptible. 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 642L video accelerator help the "dragon" to demonstrate a smooth picture in any modern games with high, and sometimes maximum graphics presets. The mentioned bundle is also distinguished by its low power consumption. Although the battery capacity is still far from the record 4250 mAh , the battery guarantees about one and a half days of active use of the mobile assistant or a day with frequent gaming sessions. The cherry on top is 128 / 256GB of ROM with support for expansion with MicroSD cards .

The design of the device still evokes positive emotions. Borrowed from the flagship, the photomodules unit, the ergonomic shape of the candy bar and attractive multi-colored glass back panels combine to create an exterior that will appeal to millions of people. Only a plastic edging separates the gadget's appearance from the highest mark. The 6.55-inch AMOLED display is devoid of bezels and a fingerprint scanner, which is located on the side. The increased hertzovka ( 90Hz ) adds smoothness to the displayed image, which is also capable of boasting a tangible margin of brightness. Not without an oleophobic coating that adds to the comfort of using an Android smartphone.

Photographic abilities lag behind those of full-fledged camera phones due to the lack of optical stabilization, however, the 64- (main sensor Samsung GW3), 8- (wide-angle lens) and 5-megapixel (macro camera) photomodules themselves are extremely good. They will cover the needs of most of the users and provide decent detail even when shooting in the evening. Also, among the advantages, we note stereo sound , contactless payment NFC and an infrared port . It is necessary to scold the obtrusive advertising in the proprietary MIUI shell. As a result, we have a familiar device that has only slightly lost in price and performance.
