what's up guys technic here and today we're doing something a bit different we're focusing
on an unboxing from a company i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about by now since the
launch event pretty much just happened yes the company is xiaomi and they have sent me
another mystery box yeah mystery box and it's kind of confusing because
the company just recently dropped the me in xiaomi well not the me and xiaomi but it's xiaomi now
so xiaomi 11 not xiaomi mi 11 if you know what i'm saying so i guess they should probably get
on changing this to xiaomi story box anyway let's see what's inside this guy and take it from there
all right so we do have a note over here from xiaomi of course over there and over there and it
says do you accept the challenge mr hashtag xiaomi storybox challenge hi technic it's time to explore
the most fashionable phone of xiaomi equals xiaomi 11 you see no xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g ne
we challenge you to tell us the most appealing features of this phone that you like the most
seems shiny thanks for that xiaomi all right so we're going to get on that but first we need
to see what's happening with this phone so let's peel this out and grab the phone itself here it is
there's the the nice little box over there nice and neat over there i like that box it's um looks
very familiar very similar to all other xiaomi boxes nevertheless this is it over here guys and
i'm super excited for this one because as you may have already noticed xiaomi have already
released a me 11 light 4g and me 11 light 5g a couple months ago this is the xiaomi
11 light 5g any any standing for new edition and yes it is super tiny and super light
and super thin and i'm super excited to get this thing unboxed so let's turn it around and get
straight into it taking the lid off the box over here i'll try get this angle nicely for you guys
popping that down there see my little little figurines over here all right so opening
this up let's see what is in the box here okay so the first thing i see is of course
the sim ejector tool over there and uh underneath that we have the usb type-c to 3.5 millimeter
headphone jack adapter and we have this adapter obviously because there is no headphone jack
on the phone itself and inside this little box we have the warranty card the xiaomi 11 light 5g
ne quick start guide the xiaomi 11 light 5g n e safety information guide and we have um the case
and the cases from xiaomi are usually silicon and they're usually clear and that is the case over
here no pun intended moving on up to the actual phone itself the first thing that you can see over
here is it says featherweight design elegant and sleek 90 hertz amoled dolby vision supported 10
bit color depth true color display what a mouthful to say high resolution 64 megapixel triple camera
setup ultra wide and telephoto macro lenses too and of course the qualcomm snapdragon 778g chipset
this time round high performance with dual 5g yes this phone does indeed support a 5g tech popping
that to the side for a minute and getting this other cut out piece which we always seem to find
in xiaomi boxes and we get to this which is of course the type c the type a chord there it is
and it has that wonderful orange accent that we've come to know love in xiaomi boxes and another
thing in a xiaomi box is the cable comes not only just the cable not only the little earphone
adapter which so many phones forget about these days but also a charging brick which is something
we very rarely see in 2021 in any smartphone that is this phone itself is 369 euros the same price
as its predecessor i guess you could say the me 11 lights 4g and 5g so it's good to see that um
that they've kept the price the same even though they've kind of upped the ante a bit with this one
we get a 33 watt charging brick in the box and that is what the phone can charge at that's the
rate it can charge at and that is pretty much it in terms of contents in the box which is actually
quite a lot all right so we've got the phone here and we're about to go ahead and unwrap this guy
and see what all the fuss is about because yes they have added a couple new colors to the mix
the one that i have over here is known simply as the snowflake white edition look at that design
absolutely phenomenal a stunning looking device i really do dig this color really looks fantastic
i'm not even lying yet it feels really good too with the matte the matte white finish and xiaomi
have actually said to me that this device this color specifically the shimmery white variant over
here is actually a matte frosted glass surface flecked with shimmering snowflakes that glimmer
at an angle and you can see it right there that's that's really nifty i really dig that it does
also come in other colors as well and that being truffle black which we saw on the me 11 light 5g
as well as bubble gum blue and peach pink which we saw on the me 11 light 4g earlier on this year so
those colors are coming back as well as this new snowflake white which i certainly am quite the fan
of take a look at that absolutely phenomenal now the phone itself is super light at just 158 grams
slap bang in the middle of the me 11 light 4g and 5g models and it is just 6.81 millimeters thick
which is nothing it is so slim it actually i don't even think i'd feel this thing in my pocket it's
so great it is kitted with a 6.55 inch flat amoled with a hole punch at the top as you can see over
there full hd plus dolby vision support of course dci p3 wide color gamut rating with 10 bit colors
10 bit colors meaning that we can see up to 1.07 billion on screen colors instead of the typical
16.7 million which we see on the average display it is super symmetrical in terms of bezels yes
the bezels are still there and yes we still have that punch hole but the bezels are the same size
from end to end left to right top to bottom which is something that you don't always see
the display of course also has a 90 hertz option and 240 hertz touch sampling rate so when your
finger touches the device while gaming it responds slightly quicker and it's also super darn smooth
to scroll at the back we are kitted with three sensors we have a 64 megapixel samsung gw3
sensor which has an aperture of f 1.79 and it can of course pixel bin down 4 to 1 pixels
down to 16 super pixels we also have an 8 megapixel ultra wide sensor as well as a 5
megapixel macro camera and that macro camera is actually as xiaomi likes to call it a
tele macro sensor and the reason for this is because a regular macro camera usually
being at two megapixels instead of this five megapixel one requires you to get extremely
close to your subject at just two inches which is roughly five centimeters with the telemacro
telephoto meaning you can zoom in macro meaning slightly zoom out and get close up to your subject
mixing the two together results in you being able to take a telephoto shot of a macro shot
it allows you to take a regular macro shot from double the distance so 4 inches or ten centimeters
which is pretty nifty if you are interested in taking close-up and personal shots so we're gonna
take the regular photo now this is going to be a bend down shot so 16 megapixels over here and
we're going to take that snap boom and then we're going to obviously take a snap using the ultrawide
boom i really like that
so nifty and then jumping into macro mode we should have the option over here
um super macro and then where is this guy so i should be about 10 centimeters away now
see usually you would have to come to about here but you still can i guess if you want but now you
can get up to this distance and still get a crispy clear shot there it is okay that's pretty awesome
and uh taking a look at these shots real quick as well as a quick snap of me using the 20 megapixel
using the 20 megapixel selfie snapper let's get a quick shot over here wow there is a lot of
smooth effect here i'm just gonna take that all off get my natural look there it is
so the first one being the 16 megapixel vin shot of this little guy really does pick up
a lot of clarity i guess you could say cropping in things are very well detailed thanks to the isosol
gw3 sensor moving on to the ultra wide shot once again pretty good not the best around but it's
eight megapixels you're getting an ultra wide sensor in a phone that costs less than 400 euros
and has a 90 hertz amoled display i mean we'll forgive xiaomi for that one we also have the
macro the taylor macro camera over here doing a fantastic job with loads of detail
and of course we also have the selfie of me and honestly this looks just as good as a thousand
dollar selfie taken on an iphone 12 pro max or galaxy s 21 ultra what a fantastic device
this truly is and just to sum things up we have that shimmery snowflake design
super lightweight and thin thanks to it being just 6.81 millimeters thick as well as just 158
grams it's definitely a light phone you can throw in your pocket and completely forget about and
when you do take it out look at that snowflake white backing it looks absolutely fantastic really
shimmers in all different lighting conditions i really do dig it and i like the fact that
it's matte and it honestly doesn't pick up any fingerprint smudges whatsoever and the display
is also fantastic like i mentioned earlier it is 6.55 inches it is an amoled panel it has that hole
punch at the top left hand corner it is nice and poppy in terms of color accuracy and very
vibrant due to it being a 10 bit color accurate display with dolby vision and of course a wide
dci p3 color gamma rating and yes you can see up to 1 billion colors which is just darn fantastic
it does not seem like a very budget-friendly phone this phone feels pretty premium i'd recommend this
to anyone and let's not forget about the back camera setup which is incredible to say the least
we are treated to a samsung gw3 sensor which is of course 64 megapixels and can be bent down to
16 megapixels as well it is an iso cell bright sensor so it takes phenomenal photos like i just
showed you guys a second ago and of course we are paired alongside that with an 8 megapixel
ultrawide snapper as well as a 5 megapixel tiller macro lens and of course wrapping up the whole
package is 5g connectivity which is fantastic for a phone that cost just 369 euros starting
with 6 gigs of ram and 128 gigs of storage it's fashionable it feels solid it's made of glass
this thing is fantastic guys if you are in the market for a phone
at this price point or even a phone slightly more expensive
but this just does it for you i definitely recommend the xiaomi 11 lite 5g new edition
