5 reasons to choose the Xiaomi 11T Pro smartphone

Xiaomi’s latest major smartphone launch has succeeded Mi, including the Xiaomi 11T, 11T Pro and 11 Lite 5G NE. These three models figure prominently in their high end 11T Pro models, albeit at a more attractive price point.

Over the past few days, we have had the opportunity to try out this smartphone, and today we present you with 5 reasons to add it to your wishlist.

# 1 - Excellent Performance

Consumers want a smartphone that completes tasks quickly, does not crash, and displays all content smoothly.

Or the Xiaomi 11T Pro fa-lo is in great shape.

The smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 888 5G processor, the same as modern high-end ones. This is an 8-core processor with a configuration of 1x2.84 GHz Kryo 680, 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 680 and 4x1.80 GHz Kryo 680. The GPU is Adreno 660. The tested model came with 8 GB of RAM, but there is also a 12 GB version.

Xiaomi 11T Pro also comes with Android 11 operating system optimized with MIUI 12.5 UI.

In practice, the smartphone works great in more demanding games and does not overheat. If we use the camera mainly for video, we notice that this area gets hotter.

MIUI 12.5 has a number of animations that we've already seen on other lower-end models, but on this 11T Pro they're smooth and nice to keep awake, but the interface is easy to customize so it can be customized to your liking. and the needs of each user.

# 2 - Screen with refresh rates up to 120Hz

Xiaomi 11T Pro screen with a diagonal of 6.67 inches and AMOLED. Its resolution is 1080p and it offers a 10-bit color standard for over a billion colors. It is indeed a screen that offers a very good viewing experience, especially when combined with the adaptive refresh rate it can go up to 120Hz. For those who play, this 480Hz touch sensitivity detail is a big advantage.

This screen also has Gorilla Glass Victus protection and a small opening for the front camera. This is really a small thing compared to the best competitors.

In terms of multimedia content, it should also be noted that it comes with HDR10 + and Dolby Vision technologies. The screen also has a number of eye care features to protect users from eye strain, such as True Display, which automatically adjusts color temperature according to environmental conditions, and Reading Mode 3.0

It's important to note that with the 120Hz adaptive refresh option active, in addition to providing a more engaging viewing experience, static 60Hz does not have a noticeable impact on battery drain.

# 3 - Battery: 120W charging and autonomy

Following the previous example, another factor that should be highlighted in a positive way is autonomy. According to our tests here at Pplware, the smartphone works fine for a day and a half, which is considered normal. In fact, it suits most of the competition. Even on a day of intensive use, it is guaranteed to work for about 15 hours, that is, a whole day away from the charger.

Most impressive, however, is its charging speed with the 120W charger that comes in the box.

The 5000mAh battery is divided into two cells, which are charged separately to ensure there is no overheating. In fact, in our tests, the smartphone doesn't get too hot while charging. As for the charger, you can't say that ...

Xiaomi guarantees a 5000mAh charge in 17 minutes at 120W, however in our tests it took another 3 minutes! An absolutely ridiculous difference considering the impressive result. Moreover, after 5 minutes, HyperCharge technology provides 40% of the battery charge, and after 15 minutes - 80%.

That's why someone who forgot to charge their phone at night and wakes up in the morning without a battery, brushes their teeth and puts on their clothes to go outside, stays charged all day.

# 4 - Cameras and capture modes

Before we talk about the interesting capture modes that come with the new 11T Pro, it is necessary to reveal the full specs of the cameras that come with this smartphone.

• Main camera (rear)
• Large Angle: 108 MP, f / 1.8, 26mm, 1 / 1.52in, 0.7μm, PDAF
• Ultra Granular Angled: 8 MP, f / 2.2, 120˚, 1/4 inch, 1.12 μm
• Telephoto / macro: 5 MP, f / 2.4, 50 mm, 1 / 5.0 inch, 1.12 μm, autofocus
• video: 8K @ 30fps, 4K @ 30/60fps, 1080p @ 30/60/120/240/960, HDR10 +, Gyroscope-EIS
• Secondary camera (front)
• Wide: 16 MP, f / 2.5, 1 / 3.06 inches, 1.0 μm
• Video: 1080p @ 30fps

The camera app has no secrets, it's easy to use, it has the most popular modes available with a simple swipe of your finger, and other modes on the screen to the right of all options. There's a Pro mode that lets you tweak all of the shooting options, quick pick options like flash, HDR, AI or filters in the upper zone and shutter in the lower zone.

The photo

When it comes to capture modes, some of them deserve special attention. First of all, it should be noted that the main camera shoots at 12 MP by default. However, shooting at 108 MP is possible, which ensures the highest quality photographs. However, this additional quality brings more space. In this mode, digital zoom photos are preferred.

Photos in portrait mode are pretty good quality, although the outlines have a slight blur effect that other high-end smartphones have already been able to overcome. It's the same with the selfie camera when portrait mode is activated, but here the blurring of the edges is even more noticeable.

Super Macro mode delivers incredible detail in your photos that outperforms the competition. In night mode, the results are good, the details are well reproduced, and there is no grain in the photos.

video

The smartphone records in 8K format at 30 frames per second, however the results are not impressive, the recording time limit is 6 minutes (which is normal), and the space occupied is too large. In 4K, details are rendered in excellent quality, which is the ideal resolution for recording on this smartphone with good stability.

In addition to information, although not a positive aspect, the Movie Effect and Vlog modes offer the user the ability to create videos with effects typical of these universes. However, artificial intelligence used in this context still needs improvement.

# 5 - Audio

To complete these 5 important features to consider when choosing the Xiaomi 11T Pro, it remains to talk about the sound that it is capable of reproducing. The smartphone reproduces sound in stereo and is equipped with harman / kardon technology and Dolby Atmos support, which guarantees really the best sound quality.

In practice, the sound reproduced is immersive, with very noticeable bass and balanced mids and highs.

Summing up

The Xiaomi 11T Pro is a very sophisticated smartphone with the highest performance, incredible charging speed, it is capable of taking good quality photos and still has many other features that make it a great option on the market.

However, its price is relatively lower than other offerings on the market with similar characteristics. It is a smartphone priced at around 650 euros for the 8GB + 128GB version and 690 euros for the 8GB + 256GB version.
