Xiaomi Mi CC11 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Mi CC11 - not beauty alone

The CC-series of smartphones from the Chinese company Xiaomi was distinguished not only by the increased content of vitamin C, but also by its excellent design, which markedly distinguished it from the competitors. However, in the current realities of the market, only an attractive appearance will not help a product become really popular. That is why, in the hero of today's review, the developer also relied on practically flagship functionality.

As noted above, the appearance of the novelty deserves many compliments. A frameless display slightly overlapping the metal edging, a side fingerprint sensor, a stylish block of three photo modules in the style of the K40 line and the original texture of the back glass panel will make people around you pay attention to such a mobile assistant. The 6.43-inch AMOLED display is not far from the flagship counterparts. Accurate color reproduction, a huge margin of brightness at FullHD + resolution and a refresh rate of 120 hertz make interaction with the screen extremely comfortable and enjoyable. The ergonomic shape of the device and the oleophobic coating of the AMOLED panel promote positive emotions.

Technical characteristics also do not fail. The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor is striking in its energy efficiency, allowing you to get up to 10-12 hours of active screen time from a 4360mAh battery (fast charging at 33W is supported). At the same time, the performance of the chipset, as well as 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 642L video adapter, almost reached the level of last year's tops. The buyer will be able to plunge headlong into the world of Android games with maximum graphics presets, extremely resource-intensive projects (Genshin Impact) will require lower settings to medium-high. CPU heating is reasonable, there is almost no throttling. The size of the internal storage reached the 128 / 256GB mark while retaining the microSD card slot.

The main 108-, 8- and 5-megapixel cameras are devoid of optical stabilization, however, due to decent software optimization and high-quality optics, they are still capable of even shooting in the evening with excellent detail and realistic color rendition. The photographer only needs to hold the gadget tighter in his hands to avoid blurring. Loud stereo sound is also not upsetting, as is the presence of contactless NFC payments, support for 5G networks and a proprietary IrDA port . But advertising in the MIUI shell (Android 11) and the absence of FDD-LTE B7, which will affect the functioning of 4G in the CIS countries, can cause disappointment. However, even with such shortcomings, the device will definitely find hundreds of thousands, if not millions of satisfied users.
