Xiaomi 11T, 11T Pro and 11 Lite NE review of new 5G smartphones

Smartphone Xiaomi 11T claims to be the new bestseller. This is due not only to the presence of 5G modem. It's just that the device for not the biggest money provides a bunch of opportunities. For example, he is able to squeeze all the juice out of even the latest routers that create a network WiFi 802.11ax. This means no delays in games and a very high data transfer rate, when gigabytes are downloaded literally before our eyes. There is also support here Bluetooth 5.2 and digital codec aptX HD. This should appeal to owners of a quality headset. Not forgotten by the Chinese and NFC chipneeded to pay for purchases. Got the device and IR portused to control the TV and other equipment.

But not wireless modules alone. It is unlikely that the buyer will present any claims and to display. It is based on organic light emitting diodes. This means the complete absence of a separate backlit layer that actively consumes battery power. There are no complaints about the resolution either - it can be called optimal. And how high is the refresh rate here! At certain points, it reaches 120 Hz, which adds maximum smoothness in games and when surfing the Internet. The owner of Xiaomi 11T should also be pleased with HDR10 + support. It is especially noticeable when watching movies in high quality. Following modern trends, the screen occupies 85% of the front panel area.

The work of the novelty is provided by an eight-core processor MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G and the Android 11 operating system, supplemented by the proprietary MIUI shell. Support for 5G is not the only feature of the chip. The buyer will definitely be pleased with the possibility of reaching a clock frequency of 3 GHz. This allows you to count on an excellent level of graphics in games and no slowdowns in any applications. Here you can download them 128 or 256 GB of permanent memory. You need to choose wisely, because there is no microSD card slot here. Concerning random access memory, then its volume in any case will be 8 GB. And more is often not needed.

The case of this model is made of metal and plastic. I had to save on it, so the level moisture protection meets only the IP53 standard - the smartphone is not afraid of splashes, but nothing more. Also, Xiaomi did not become sophisticated with fingerprint scannerby giving them the power button. The money saved went to stereo speakers and 5000 mAh battery, supplemented here with fast charging technology, thanks to which it can be fully charged with energy in just 36 minutes.

Finally, we note a worthy implementation rear cameras. In total, the buyer of Xiaomi 11T is waiting for three modules. The main one has a 108-megapixel resolution and f/1.8 aperture. It is difficult to find fault with the size of the sensor - in this regard, the device surpasses even some action cameras! As for the other modules, they are no less interesting. Especially the 50-megapixel camera, designed for macro photography. The third module is an ultra wide-angle lens with a resolution of 8 megapixels.

We can safely say that Xiaomi 11T is another milestone in the history of the Chinese company. For little money, the buyer will get the opportunity to shoot 4K video, albeit only at a frequency of 30 frames / s. And for how small? If you order a device on AliExpress, then the 128-gigabyte version will cost 34 thousand rubles, which is not so much against the backdrop of all kinds of crises.

Let's move on to the most expensive novelty.The device called Xiaomi 11T Pro is almost no different from its counterpart in terms of size or design. But here a completely different processor is installed. It is used as a much more expensive Snapdragon 888 5G, created on a 5-nanometer process technology. He finds a place for himself, for example, in gaming smartphones. No wonder, because it includes a powerful graphics accelerator Adreno 660. As a result, the device allows you to activate the maximum graphics settings in any game. In this case, it is hardly worth waiting for overheating and other such problems.

Another global difference between Xiaomi 11T Pro and its counterparts is the existence of a version, under the body of which they hide 12 GB RAM. We can safely say that for many this will be too much. Therefore, if your budget is limited, then it is better to look towards the 8-gigabyte version. As for volume permanent memory, then it is 128 or 256 GB. And this is much more important, because the owner of a smartphone is deprived of the opportunity to use a microSD card.

Another difference from the more affordable model is the support 120 watt AC adapter. This incredible power allows you to fully charge your smartphone in just 17 minutes! At the same time, the capacity battery increased to 5000 mAh, with this parameter you don’t have to remember about the charger during the whole working day. But the battery affected the weight of the device - it is 204 g.

Display here, at first glance, the same one is used as in the regular Xiaomi 11T. But actually it is not. Yes, AMOLED technology was used to create it. Yes, the refresh rate reaches a similar value. Even the resolution is the same.But there is one small detail that is noticeable when watching movies in high quality. It consists in supporting not only HDR10 +, but also Dolby Vision. At the same time, the picture is accompanied by a great sound, because for the creation stereo speakers Harman Kardon answered.

Otherwise, the device is almost no different from the more affordable model. The buyer is also waiting for the maximum set of wireless modules. This means that he will be able to experience firsthand the incredibly fast download of files in 5G networks. Xiaomi 11T Pro also encourages the router to be updated, because it supports the latest standard WiFi 802.11ax. Everything is in order here and with the Bluetooth module that understands the digital codec aptX HD, thanks to which the sound is transmitted to the headset almost in CD-quality. Finally finish the happy picture NFC and IR port.

It is impossible not to note the shortcomings inherent in all three smartphones. First, I would like to see fingerprint scanner on the display, not on the power button. Secondly, moisture protection according to the standard IP53 — this is not what you expect to get in this price segment. Thirdly, the Chinese abandoned the 3.5 mm audio jack. If you want to use wired headphones, you will have to connect them through an adapter.

However, all of the above does not make you worry too much, unless you regularly shoot underwater. So the price seems to be quite reasonable. Especially when buying a version with less memory.And especially if Xiaomi 11T Pro is purchased on AliExpress, where there is no additional markup typical of Russian retail chains.

The Chinese company Xiaomi could not do without the release of a lightweight version of the devices discussed above. I am glad that she did not lose the opportunity to work in fifth generation mobile networks. Because of this, it even has two variants of the name: in some online stores it is called Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. The use of the processor also hints at support for the corresponding standard. Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G. By the way, it is made using a 6-nanometer process technology, so you can count on not very fast charge consumption. Its power is slightly less than that of the chips that received the devices discussed above. Four cores here operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and four at 1.8 GHz.

Used as graphics accelerator Adreno 642L. The simplification of the device is evidenced by its weight, which is only 158 g. It seems that this parameter was influenced by rear camera. The resolution of its main module is 64 megapixels. The physical size of the matrix is ​​1/1.97 inches. A macro camera and an ultra-wide-angle module are also available to the buyer. Their resolution is 5 and 8 megapixels, respectively. Shooting in low light is easy with the dual LED flash. I am glad that Xiaomi 11 Lite NE can also shoot 4K video.

The device included stereo speakers. There is no 3.5 mm jack here, so you can output sound to headphones either through Bluetooth 5.2, or through an adapter connected to USB Type-C. Also, the device received support WiFi 802.11ax and NFC. Not forgotten by the Chinese and IR port.

Unlike older brothers, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE allows you to increase 128 GB of permanent storageby inserting a microSD card. As for memory operational, then its volume is 6 or 8 GB, depending on the version chosen by the buyer.

The smartphone turned out to be thinner than the rest. At the same time, it cannot be said that a less advanced one is used here. display. Yes, its refresh rate is increased only to 90 Hz. But the resolution and other characteristics are left the same. It even supports Dolby Vision! Therefore, we conclude that the Chinese reduced the thickness to 6.8 mm only by reducing the capacity battery (here it is 4250 mAh).

Like the previous two smartphones, this one is also in danger of becoming a hit. Compared to the two more expensive devices, it performs a little worse. You will learn about its simplifications only after a careful reading of the technical specifications. Therefore, buying Xiaomi 11 Lite NE on AliExpress seems quite reasonable.

The Chinese company Xiaomi continues to act in its spirit. She once again produces worthy devices, for which she asks not the biggest money. All of them received a powerful processor, thanks to which the device can be used for games. Also, everything is not so bad with the amount of memory. Especially in the younger model, which can send the result of the camera to a microSD card.

Above you can see the main differences between smartphones from each other. As you can see, even the younger model looks very interesting. What is important, it is slightly more compact and lighter than the others. At the same time, it is also capable of boasting stereo sound. Like older models, it exists in several colors. And this is another advantage that we have not talked about.
