it's almost been a year since the launch of the me 10t pro which featured a 144hz ips lcd display
since then xiaomi have released arguably their best devices to date which include the mi 11 and
me 11 ultra now xiaomi have decided to drop the me in their smartphone device naming scheme and one
of the first phones to showcase this has finally been announced and its name the xiaomi 11t pro
the 11t pro opts for a 120 hertz amoled display instead of its predecessor's 144hz lcd screen
which is a huge step in the right direction for xiaomi's t-series devices not only has it up the
anti in terms of display but is xiaomi's first globally released smartphone to pack in 120 watts
hypercharged technology which is a huge bump up from last year's 33 watts seen in the mi 10t
pro xiaomi have also decided to pack in a better 108 megapixel main camera sensor and flagship
leading snapdragon triple a chipset or while keeping the device at an identical price to the
mi 10t pro starting at just 649 euros the xiaomi 11 t pro is 100 bucks cheaper than even olympi
11 we saw earlier on this year this is tech nick and this is my full review of the xiaomi 11t pro
the 11t pro comes in three different color variants that be in meteorite
grey moonlight white and celestial blue i have the meteorite gray version and it looks pretty classy
it is nice and shimmery when a light is hitting it but nice and dark and daunting when it is not in
light slapping on that case that comes included in the box takes some of the flair away over here
but still is more than decent to use on day one peeling that off getting welcomed back to that
fantastic gray looking color i must say it really is quite a stunning in its own way we are paired
with a 5 000 milliamp hour battery 120 watt xiaomi hyper charge and no there's no wireless charging
but that 120 watt hyper charge is the key feature of this device so why not do a full charging speed
test right here at the start of the video as you can see at the bottom left hand corner
we have a wattage meter over there was sitting at about 120 watts earlier now dipped to about
80 watts probably to keep things a little bit cooler but 6 minutes and 42 seconds to get to 50
is mental with 364 milliamp hours per minute and reaching that 100 mark in just 18 minutes and 7
seconds not as quick as the 17 minutes advertise time but still damn fast the phone is of course
kitted with a snapdragon 888 cpu a vapor chamber cooling system lpddr5 ram ufs 3.1 storage 5g wi-fi
6 bluetooth 5.2 and nfc we do have that wonderful gorilla glass victus display protection which
we saw on the me 11 a gorilla glass 5 back and apparently an aluminum frame it is 8.8 millimeters
thick and just 204 grams in weight at the back of the device it sits a very familiar camera
module and inside that camera module it sits in 8 megapixel ultra wide sensor 108 megapixel isoscell
hm2 main sensor and 5 megapixel atelier macro lens the ultra wide sensor takes a more than decent
shot as well as the 108 megapixel main sensor and as you guys can see all the streaks going
through the screen over here through the actual camera lenses is because there's been a typhoon
going non-stop for the last two weeks here in shanghai so unfortunately these are the
shots you're gonna have to deal with it takes more than decent shots overall but getting to
that 10 times zoom mode doesn't look the best we also have a clone mode which looks pretty decent
and the macro mode using the telemacro sensor looks pretty fantastic of course we can also
shoot things closer to us then i just showed you using that tailor macro sensor since it can
change between three to seven centimeters in distance and of course using the main 91 bin
108 megapixel shot to take portrait shots still does a more than decent job even in gloomy weather
we also have 8k 30 frames per second over here and because it's sitting at 30fps it means that it's
upscaling from 6k still does a more than decent job of course once again on a rainy day over here
4k 60fps once again using the main sensor gyro electronic image stabilization keeping things
nice and stable over here 1080p at 60fps 60fps across the board over here looking good nice clear
and crispy on all things being ak 4k and 1080p and of course we also have ai video though it can only
be used at 30fps it does indeed pop the colors quite a bit ultrawide is capped out at 30 frames
per second and 1080p which is a bit of a bummer but we can once again use ai video over here
which clearly steps up things in terms of color as well as accuracy in detail we can do 720p 30fps
bokeh video mode using the main camera sensor over here we also have something called magic zoom mode
which does a great job halfway through the shots and we do have something called parallel world i'm
not quite sure when i'd use this but if you are a fan of the me film festival i'm pretty sure you
can do some crazy cool things with this feature we also have a 1080p at 8 frames per second
because of slow shutter mode which is awesome to see on a smartphone and we have 8k 30fps recording
at night which doesn't look the best but it is at 30fps and it is 8k which should only really be
used during the daytime 4k 60fps at night looks worse but that is because of the frames per second
counts the lower the fps the better that is why i showed you the slow shutter speed earlier so
dropping things down to 4k 30fps certainly brighten things up but it does dumb down
some of the detail same thing with 1080p at 60fps over here pretty dark at the moment but dropping
things down to 30 frames per second once again brightens everything up but takes away slightly
from the detail but ever so slightly ai video is once again here used at night best used at night
since it brightens the shot up quite a bit and can be used in ultrawide mode too this is regular
mode on ultrawide and shooting over to the ai mode now you can sometimes see that it darkens
things down but brings some clarity in terms of color taking an ultra wide pick at night with
night mode off is not the best night mode on you can definitely see a hell of a lot more going into
the 12 megapixel bin shot with night mode off not half bad night mode on way way better two times
digital zoom with night mode off not too shabby night mode on definitely brightens things up but
takes away a lot of the detail five times zoom once again takes away a hell of a lot of detail
and 10 times using night mode off or night mode on is pretty much not an option when taking
nighttime photography shots moving on to the main sensor and shooting over to the telemacro sensor
even with low light settings does a pretty decent job and yes taking a long exposure mode a shot
is still pretty darn satisfying the cameras perform more than decently even in rainy weather
nevertheless a fantastic setup at this price point and on the right hand side we have the
power button as well as the volume rocker which is unfortunately not split at the top we have an
infrared blaster and we do have sound by harmar kardon over here powering through the first dual
speaker at the top and the second one at the bottom and yes dolby atmos is packed in two
we have usb 2.0 type c ports as well as dual sim 5g no option for an sd card here though there is
a water resistant seal and the selfie camera is 16 megapixels with an aperture of f 2.45
and take some more than decent shots once again in rainy weather over here portrait mode also
does a fairly decent job with pretty much no edge detection what's up guys technic here and
i'm recording this video on xiaomi's brand new 11t pro and it can record selfie video all the
way up to 1080p and 60 frames per second it has been raining non-stop for the last week here in
shanghai so i've decided just to take some awesome footage in the rain and of course we also have an
option for frontal sound once again which only picks up audio when using the selfie cam coming
from the front and reduces all the noise from the back of the device we do have 1080p at 60fps
and recording at night once again pretty dark but shooting it down to 30 frames per second
brightens it up a lot like a lot a lot does a great job when recording using the selfie cam
in a nighttime situation we also have night mode this time around using the selfie camera which
does a more than decent job flash mode also works pretty great too and taking a bokeh portrait looks
even better than that the selfie camera is on par with other smartphones around at this price point
and turning on the device itself we are of course welcomed to miui 12.5 but before we get into that
it is worth mentioning that we do have an oxide fingerprint sensor it is not an optical reader
underneath the display and when inside the phone there are a ton of different always on display
options that you can choose from my favorite ones being paired with the super wallpapers that you
get such as the snowy peaks over here which has a three-phase animation when locking and unlocking
your phone looks absolutely fantastic as we've seen earlier on we do have 2d facial recognition
over here and just to let you guys know yes that theme does change over time we are welcome to
a 6.67 inch amoled 20 by 9 aspect ratio flat dot display it is full hd plus with 395 pixels
per inch we have more than one billion colors on screen a thousand nits of max brightness 120 hertz
refresh rates and 480 hertz a touch sampling rate the colors are poppy and extremely vibrant on this
very bright screen that being ranging from 800 typical brightness to a thousand max minutes in
brightness and yes the bezels around the device are pretty symmetrical of course we have that
120 hertz refresh rate this time around it is adaptive sync changing between 60 and 120 hertz
and yes that 480 hertz touch sampling rate does indeed help when touching your phone making things
feel even more responsive when moving around your screen of course we do have brightness
level change over there reading mode as well anti-flicker color scheme over here where you can
go crazy in advanced settings as well as change your colors to adapt to the ambient light around
the phone which is great we have super resolution ai image enhancements hdr enhancements and memc
to up the ansi in terms of hertz pushing things up from 60 hertz to say 120 hertz and yes we do
have nice deep dark blacks when in dark mode and of course we do get into that software department
with miui 12.5.3 skinned over android 11 over here it is nice and clean i do like it it is still nice
and fluid it lacks some optimizations but it is packed with features such as google yes the play
store does indeed work we do have things such as split screen as well as mini window and i really
do like the grid layout when you go into your recent app so you can change this and turn it off
if you don't prefer that style the haptics are on point with the likes of the me 11 and
11 ultra with solid tap separation between each tap we do have dual speakers over here
one at the top one at the bottom like i mentioned earlier with homocotton and dolby atmos packed in
but how does it compare against two smartphones which cost quite a bit more
uh
no one escapes my sight
we do of course still have game turbo overlay over here putting in the little tab from the top left
of the screen where you can open up many tabs as well as set timers you can also change the visual
enhancements of the game that you're running and jump into settings for a couple more other options
you can also go into developer options so that you can toggle on a frame rate monitor over here
which is pretty useful when in game and we're going to be testing it out here in our first
game here being gentian impact with the highest possible graphics and maximum frames per second we
can get the game's cap is at 60 frames per second so even though the phone can go up to 120 fps
the game is capped at 60 fps meaning it can't go higher than that but that's not really a problem
here since the 11t pro is only hitting a max of 39 fps which is still not bad considering
that it's not really fluctuating much moving on to bullet for severe ultra graphics max fps
the games frames per second cap is unlimited and we're getting between 112 and 123 fps which
is impressive to say the least real racing 3 also doesn't have an fps cap but unfortunately
the 11t pro does not have support for the game yet to run at 120 fps but what about benchmarks well
of course using that snapdragon triple h chipsets lp ddr5 ram and ufs 3.1 storage we're going to
test out the battery percentage as well as the degrees in celsius at the start of the test we'll
compare this at the end to see how it's stacked up throughout the test as i've done in so many
of my reviews before we just ran through antutu running through geekbench and now moving on to
3dmark wildlife but unfortunately for some reason a 3dmark wildlife failed to run and i did try this
a couple times after this entire test but i did make sure not to re-test it straight after so
that we got an accurate battery drain reading that battery drain reading is eight percent drain and
25 milliamp hours per minute and the temperature only increased by just 8.2 degrees in celsius that
low addition to temperature certainly explains the low score in antutu version 9 over here
getting just over 700 000 points which is pretty much a hundred thousand points behind the average
snapdragon triple h powered smartphone so it seems like xiaomi took the approach to maybe slightly
dumbed down performance which is not necessarily a bad thing to keep the phone a lot cooler which
is certainly a good thing in terms of overheating however i did still feel like the score was pretty
low so i decided to rerun the test and the results weren't any better what was better though are the
results for geekbench the single core score maxed out compared to the average triple eight
powered smartphone hitting a score of one one one seven which is impressive to say the least though
the multi-core score wasn't quite as good and as i mentioned earlier 3dmark wildlife failed to run
i did try it again and again but unfortunately i couldn't get it to work the xiaomi 11t pro
may have a very simplistic design but thanks to that meteorite gray colored backplate
certainly stands out when compared to other mi 11 devices it may have a very familiar looking camera
module but inside that bumps it's a very beastly 108 megapixel sensor which has been upgraded to
an iso cell hm2 sensor which takes phenomenal photos and videos the device is kitted with a
side mounted fingerprint sensor much like we saw on its predecessor and while it does not sit under
the display still gets you into your home screen ridiculously fast once sitting in the home screen
you are welcomed to xiaomi's miui 12.5 skinned over android 11 which is clean and simple to use
but i would have liked to have seen a refreshed miui 13 this time around the 11t pro is stacked
with incredible hardware such as a snapdragon 8 cpu lpddr5 ram and ufs 3.1 storage and when
paired with the adaptive sync 120 hertz refresh rate as well as a 480 hertz touch sampling rate
games like an absolute champion and let's not forget about that color popping 6.67
inch amoled display which packs in more than one billion colors and brightens up to a crazy
1000 nits the 11t pro of course also packs in 120 watts hypercharge which can charge your phone full
up in less than 20 minutes and should last all day thanks to that massive 5000mah battery making it
a true battery king which leads me to say that i am more than happy to recommend the xiaomi 11t pro
not only to those on a budget but to anyone who wants one of the best phones in terms of battery
alongside some of the most impressive specifications ever seen in a smartphone
