Xiaomi 11T Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi 11T - from uniqueness to mediocrity?

The flagship smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi with 10T indexes have become a real delight for fans of IPS displays. Even though this type of matrix is becoming obsolete, it has a number of features and, in fact, competitive advantages. However, time does not stand still, and the successor of the previously mentioned models has already acquired an AMOLED screen. But how will the novelty now stand out among the many opponents?

The appearance of the device has been significantly changed. The design of the photomodules is closer to that of the current flagships Mi and Poco, the colors of the glass cases have changed slightly. The fingerprint sensor is still located on the side rather than built into the display. The edging is made of metal, which improves the tactile experience of using an Android smartphone. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display boasts even thinner bezels and an almost invisible peephole of the 16MP selfie camera. But the main differences of the panel are the correct color rendition and an impressive margin of brightness. The FullHD + resolution does not set records for clarity, but is sufficient to provide a clear picture. The 120 hertz refresh rate is responsible for the smoothness of the image.

The technical characteristics selected a solid Mediatek Dimensity 1200 CPU, working in tandem with 8GB of RAM and a Mali G77MC9 graphics video chip. The chipset is similar in performance to the previously used Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, while providing slightly less heat and more reasonable power consumption. In everyday life, any applications open instantly, the MIUI shell interface (Android 12) responsively follows the user's actions. The gaming power of the bundle is revealed in resource-intensive projects like Genshin Impact or Fortnite, where a smooth video sequence is achieved with graphics presets close to the maximum. The volume of internal storage was 128 / 256GB of UFS 3.1 format. It will not be possible to expand it with microSD cards.

The photographic capabilities of the device are not bad, but they look a little faded against the background of its other advantages. 108-, 8- and 5-megapixel photosensors can easily cope with daytime shooting of even moving objects, but the evening photo session is complicated by the lack of optical stabilization. Thus, the pictures, although they will be characterized by correct color rendering and good detail, will upset them with noise and sometimes blur. The battery capacity has grown to 5000mAh , there is fast charging at 67W . You will have to look for the nearest outlet every one and a half to two days, and stay near it for about 40-50 minutes. The manufacturer has not forgotten about such aspects of a modern mobile assistant as high-quality stereo sound , contactless payment ( NFC ). The proprietary infrared port complements the list of the gadget's advantages, the disadvantages of which can only include advertising in software, non-outstanding cameras and a not particularly humane price tag.
