Now i have reviewed the 11t pro from Xiaomi and this is the slightly cheaper version the 11t
this does away with the qualcomm chipset and has the mediatek dimensi 1200 5g in it my model here
has 8 gigabytes of ram 128 gigabytes of ufs 3.1 storage and the only other real difference to the
11t pro is the charging speed so instead of that blazing fast hyper charge at 120 watts this model
here has 67 watt charging which takes about 40 minutes or just under and this model i have found
does have an issue that xiaomi really does have to address asap now the build of this one it is
a heavy phone it's 204 grams the thickness of this one is about 8.9 millimeters almost 9 millimeters
so it's not super slim and it's not super light either now the material here on the back i did
say in my 11t pro review that it is plastic it has a bit of a plastic feel to me now i haven't done
a scratch test but it could actually be glass but the frame around the outside this is okay that is
definitely plastic but inside is an alloy inner frame so we do have this which is our capacitive
power on button with the fingerprint reader capacitive fingerprint reader so touching that
you see the unlock speed always on display that's there at the moment unlock speed is good but the
animations a little tiny bit slow there so volume up and down on this side we have nothing and i'll
show you the bottom we have microphone circuit tool so it takes two nano sims loudspeaker there's
also a loudspeaker in the earpiece up the top we get an ir transmitter and then the second
loudspeaker which is porting out the top but also comes out the earpiece right here so for the
cameras on this one same setup as the 11t pro the only difference with this one is as i mentioned at
the start really is the charging speed and then of course the chipset which is the dimension 1200 so
we've got a 108 megapixel camera with no optical image stabilization rear microphone dual tone
led flash 5 megapixel macro and an 8 megapixel ultra wide which is rather disappointing i want
to see a 13 megapixel one in here at least it's limited to just 1080p video this camera and then
the cutout camera this one is 16 megapixels not the typical 20 we normally see with xiaomi an
underwater screen so this one is exactly the same as the 11t pro 120 hertz full hd plus resolution
up to a thousand nits i measure about 880 it's a good screen very fast fluid and smooth and i'll
just show you the settings that we do get with this one so i have turned on i don't want that
documents i want settings i have turned on the dc dimming which it does have at 60hz so it doesn't
flicker on camera now i will show you this off okay see some banding is going to come through now
so turning that on you don't see that so if you're sensitive to that unless that option's there but
it is a shame that it's not 120 hertz so color scheme you can adjust this which is great the
white balance dark mode there reading mode all of that scaling all in there it's all up a very nice
flat amoled 120 hertz screen now the wrong performance i do find is good but what i've
noticed is it's not quite as smooth as what we do have with the snapdragon triple eight
version of this phone which is slightly different as you know the 11t pro has the faster charging
and in that chipset so it is good the smoothness what i have noticed there is one minor bug that if
you sometimes go in to select your wallpaper for me at least going to select it it has completely
frozen up on me so i wouldn't say it's a hundred percent bug free now running now at
60 hertz with that dc dimming it does not seem as smooth but trust me if i had it on 120 hertz
with that banding that you would see just on camera by the way it would seem a lot smoother
so it's a fast phone the ufs 3.1 storage now get into some of my typical things to point out here
so initially when you get it out of the box you are going to be greeted with this it's quite a bit
of bloatware and you need to go through and clean this up it takes only a few minutes if you go into
system apps uninstaller there you can actually get rid of that very quickly full screen gestures do
work really well too by the way with the rom no issues with triggering them this was at the start
when i had your typical normal menu keys so we have a widevine level one cert which is very good
and of course we do need this so we have the proper netflix support full hd vp9 decoding
and hdr 10 capabilities there so that is really good to see internal storage speeds here they are
fast very very fast okay ufs 3.1 as mentioned this model i have has 128 gigabytes of storage
not a start sheet all this will not bottleneck or hold up this rom it is really quick now the
antutu score this is about 80 to 90 000 points less than what i'm able to get out of the 11t
pro version there's not really that much in it because the snapdragon triple eight on the
11t pro seems to throttle a little bit and as i'll show you later on this one actually does
throttle get very hot that it will cause an error screen to come up which i'll get onto
so here is geekbench five the score is okay uh yes the snapdragon triple eight can do better
but it's still it's a very good score but not compared to say yeah okay the a14 bionic or a15
from apple but excellent in the android ecosystem here is wildlife an average of 25 frames per
second pretty standard gain similar to performance of that of say a snapdragon 865 plus or 865 there
for that one so this is what does happen if i put it on the stress test for 3d mark or i'm gaming
with say gen chen impact at the highest possible settings you get this it will eventually overheat
that bad that it boots you out of applications and you cannot use wi-fi hotspots gps or the
camera until it does end up cooling down battery life not really that good at 120 hertz so this is
the fixed test i do it at 200 nets and 10 hours may seem good for 5 000 milliamp hour battery but
real world you see looking around seven to six and a half hours with this model so far with my time
using it so it's not amazing it's good but not amazing and it does of course charge in 40 minutes
here it took 20 minutes to go from 17 to 77 but a full charge is about 39 40 minutes which is not
bad wireless is excellent in this very good range very good speeds too when you're down a few bars
of signal and it's not the strongest but right up close to my wi-fi 6 router getting over a gigabit
speeds here that is true flagship performance very very impressive and then what else is impressive
is the gps on this better than qualcomm's snapdragon gps module on this you can see you can
get down to one meter of accuracy indoors this is live it's able to do this going through the roof
and all that concrete the tiles not a problem here i'm still getting not a bad average signal now
if i'm outside it'll be in the 30s and i do find that this gps for me is more accurate and better
than the snapdragon triple eight version the 11t pro and then now on to our audio performance so
we do have the downward firing loudspeaker the one and the earpiece ported out the top here we
don't have that harman kardon branding like we do with the 11t pro however the speakers aren't that
bad they are very very similar they're not the loudest i've heard but still i think acceptable
now no 3.5 millimeter jack support with this we expect this now with flagships they've just done
away with it completely just like no micro sd card support however bluetooth audio does still
work and you can use an adapter with this let's have a listen now to those speakers at 100 volume
on to our gaming now so this is pubg and we do have the 90 frames per second option here so no
support yet from the developers for 120 frames per second which would then match the screen
refresh rate we've got this too which is our game space i've mentioned in many of my xiaomi reviews
so here we are able to set some do not disturbs you can see
the load there on the cpu and the gpu and the frame rate too so i'll
be keeping an eye on that and we'll take a look now at a little bit of gameplay
so the performance as expected very good 90 hertz here and the eight gigabytes of
ram certainly does make things very very smooth now i've got a few players here
shooting at me so when i'm chasing down uh-oh they've definitely got me i think
oh got lucky there but really good performance you can get your kills and it does not overheat
with this particular title but demanding games or running 3dmark benchmark over and over it will
eventually overheat display that error message and even turn off the wireless boot you out
and you cannot use the camera so xiaomi does need to address the overheating issues with the 11t
here moving over to our cameras now so this is the front facing camera 1080p maximum with
this 16 megapixel sensor the electronic image stabilization is on it's enabled but you can see
it does shake around a little bit and it does not look as good as the 11t pros front-facing camera
1080p footage i did find is a lot smoother more steady than what we have right here so let's move
over to the rear cameras this is the main camera so 4k 30 frames per second with electronic image
stabilization as i pan around here trying to keep this very steady you will notice there are these
jutters like right now just a few coming through unfortunately i see that on pretty much every
single android phone i review they don't seem to be able to fix that so i do have digital zoom now
this is now two times okay which still seems to be reasonably good but once i go to about two and a
half and over this three times now and then up to four times digital zoom you can see that is just
not usable it's just like an oil painting looks all washed out and horrible so i'll
pull that back now and just a jogger here now to test out that electronic image stabilization
it's not bad but i have noticed that the 11t pro with the snapdragon triple eight
does have better stability so the real weakness of these cameras is this the ultra wide electronic
image stabilization you can see it does look reasonably stable so that's one good thing
there but i hope that in future models they give us at least a 13 megapixel camera with 4k support
so
so to quickly summarize here we've got gorilla glass vectors on the front 120 hertz screen
very bright it is an amoled panel too i really do like it it's a top class
top tier screen from them we've got dual speakers on this they don't sound that bad
the frame around the outside yes it is plastic but it has alloy in the middle it's a very solid
foam charges in about 40 minutes with 67 watt charging if you need the faster you go for the
pro model of the 11t which of course is just 20 minutes i do have a full review of that one up
now the main camera does take good photos especially in daylight 108 megapixels with
its pixel binning you get really good results however it does not have any optical image
stabilization the ultrawides only 8 megapixels ultra wide performance i find to be disappointing
the electronic image stabilization with the rear cameras seems to be reasonably good
but not quite as good as the snapdragon triple h 11t pro model the front-facing camera looks very
washed out in its current state like the gamma looks off the exposure the saturation and then
the stability with the front-facing camera doesn't seem to be working properly there it was well
it was shaking all over the place so hopefully xiaomi can address that so my main concern with
this model here is for the gamers out there if you game for extended periods you live in a very warm
climate in summer and you're playing say pubg non-stop for two hours with the case on this
it will probably overheat if you don't tone down on the visuals or the frame rate if you run it at
90 frames per second and on the hd setting there it will take a long time to trigger that but a
really demanding game like gen chain impact or simply running 3d mark benchmark the stress test
it will not be able to complete it it overheats kicks you out of the application and throws
that error message that i showed you in this video so that needs to be addressed
from xiaomi and if they can do that this is a solid offering slightly cheaper than the 11t
pro but still the xiaomi 11 is a very good phone and it has been selling for well not really that
much more when it's on sale here locally in spain for a very decent price and i would also consider
that model so thank you so much for watching my review and thoughts here on the xiaomi 11t
