Xiaomi continues to offer innovative smartphones, offering ever more interesting advances. The Xiaomi 11T Pro is no exception to the rule. Offered by BDT 64300, this smartphone offers, on paper, an advantage and, not least, the ability to fully recharge in less than 20 minutes thanks to a fast 120W charger. We have thoroughly tested this new version of the brand in order to give you a precise idea of each of its advantages and disadvantages.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro is already available on the manufacturer’s website. Two versions are available, offering either 128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage for an entry price of BDT 64300. You will have to pay an additional BDT 2880 to get the 256 GB version. The small useful precision: the storage capacity is not expandable. It will therefore be advisable not to be mistaken at the time of purchase as to your needs. Three colors are available: Celestial Blue, Lunar White, and Comet Grey.
In the all-white box, we find all the usual accessories that we can see from the brand: a small cardboard box containing a quick start guide and a warranty booklet housed in a transparent silicone shell that will ensure the security of your phone from the moment it is purchased. This is followed by the Xiaomi 11T Pro, under which you will find its USB type A to USB type C cable allowing recharging and synchronization, and a hands-free kit since French legislation allows us this small advantage. Finally, we discover the ultimate accessory allowing you to take advantage of the major function of this smartphone: an imposing sector charging block, even heavier than the smartphone, and which is capable of delivering up to 120W.
On the design side, the Xiaomi 11T Pro is not surprising, largely taking up the design codes already present on the Mi 11 range. We, therefore, benefit from a large flat screen on the front with edges thin enough not to disturb, a punch in its center, and a top to house the selfie camera. There is also a back with a brushed aluminum effect (on our Comet Gray test version), which is in fact only a shiny plastic back that brilliantly reproduces your fingerprints, where the imposing module is also placed. photo The right edge is used to house all the volume management and ignition buttons of the device, the latter also acting as a fingerprint reader. A small disappointment: at this price, we rather expected a biometric sensor located under the screen.
By observing the lower edge, we come across one of the speakers, a USB type C socket to power the battery, and the Nano-SIM card drawer. This allows the integration of two cards but also reveals the impossibility of extending the storage. Finally, there is a small hole where the microphone is housed. The last area of the phone that offers something noticeable, is the upper edge. The top of the device lets us discover a second speaker, a microphone for the reduction of There is also an infrared transmitter, and a large mention of the partnership between Xiaomi and Harman Kardon, who both sign the audio system stereo present in this Xiaomi 11T Pro.
In terms of handling, the Xiaomi 11T Pro offers something nice without being among the best experiences. Its weight of 204 grams, as is the trend for this size of the phone, is well distributed and the rounded edges are soft enough not to tire your hands. However, the materials used are disappointing, as the plastic does not seem to be of the highest quality.
Despite its imposing size of 16.4 cm high by 7.69 cm wide and 0.88 cm thick, the Xiaomi 11T Pro makes its one-handed use far from unpleasant. For example, with substantially equal dimensions, the iPhone 13 Pro Max offers a much less intuitive grip.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro, therefore, does not revolutionize anything, but is part of the current trend and offers, despite the lack of premium materials, a pleasant and versatile grip.
Xiaomi’s 11T Pro has a 6.67-inch diagonal DotDisplay screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus glass. This AMOLED panel offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels in a 20:9 format, and an infinite contrast ratio (thanks to AMOLED!).
As you will have understood, this panel is therefore in Full HD. A well-controlled FHD that will offer a viewing experience rich in detail, contrast, and precision. No burr is felt as its sharpness is well managed. If a small concession on the resolution is made, there is none when we talk about refresh, since the panel here offers a frequency of 120 Hz for the display, and up to 480 Hz touch sampling. The technical sheet proves its effectiveness in use as the screen offers instant responsiveness.
The brightness offered by the screen is a maximum of 1000 nits. In absolute terms, this value is equivalent to that found on many telephones on the market and allows you to consult your screen in any condition without too many problems. But it is clear that the glass lacks a quality anti-fingerprint treatment. So much so that during very regular use, it should be noted that the amount of traces present on the screen reduces readability in direct sunlight. If a blow of microfiber cloth is enough to solve the problem, the recurring need to provide this solution is more problematic.
Xiaomi has teamed up with Harman Kardon to deliver a powerful speaker combo. The device delivers a stereo sound of good quality, leaving room for all frequencies, but it is not free from defects. At maximum volume, certain frequencies tend to generate very slight crackling, and It’s a bit like garish high, certainly not very disturbing, but noticeable. However, it is enough to reduce the volume with a click on the button to make the problem disappear and find a pleasant sound. We will congratulate the overall power, which is, however, very good and will allow you to listen to videos or a little music without problems.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro also offers Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos certification. If you are equipped with a pair of headphones, or headphones and a compatible speaker, we can only recommend that you favor these solutions in order to get the most out of the experience.
As usual with smartphones, the speakers are quite capable of allowing you to listen to a few titles in troubleshooting, or to listen to voice messages, stories on social networks, etc. But of course, don’t expect to enjoy the best quality possible.
Xiaomi has equipped its Xiaomi 11T Pro with an excellent combo, integrating a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SOC coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Obviously, the set turns without any concern in any task from the lightest to the heaviest. It is therefore not surprising to see on GeekBench 5 that if the Xiaomi 11T Pro does not shine in single-core, its multi-core capacities easily exceed an S21 Ultra, with a result of 3314 points against 3176.
Performance is essential and all the benchmarks show it, placing the device at the top of the basket of the most efficient Android smartphones. A stress test on 3D Mark’s Wild Life Extreme shows a system stability score of 88.9%, which is really very good considering the price of the device.
So consider that with more moderate use, you can easily make it last two days, or even three days if you are economical, which is an excellent score.
But where Xiaomi is strong is that running out of battery is no longer a concern since, according to the brand, it only takes 17 minutes for the Xiaomi 11T Pro to jump from 2% to 100% battery with the imposing 120W charger provided! In fact, it is a 0% to 100% in 20 minutes and 40 seconds that we have seen, but the feat is there, and the recharging speed is stunning. The first battery percentage goes up at an impressive speed. To achieve such high speeds, Xiaomi has installed a double battery inside its smartphone. On the power side, the set is 5000 mAh.
However, it must be suspected, that this speed does not come without a little problem: the Xiaomi 11T Pro tends to heat up a lot when recharging. One may therefore question the viability of this technology and its long-term impact on the life of the battery and internal components.
For the moment, Xiaomi announces that it is the loads of 200W that degrade the battery, but not those in 120W. But today, the hindsight on this technology is not enough to assure the user that His battery will not suffer from a daily 120W recharge. In order to preserve the latter, it, therefore, seems judicious to use less efficient solutions on a daily basis and to use the 120W adapter only in case of urgent need.
Therefore, with excellent autonomy, therefore, coupled with the possibility of recharging the entire battery in just a few minutes, this phone has lessons to teach more than one of its competitors. However, in the radius of regret, we can nevertheless blame the Xiaomi 11T Pro for not supporting wireless charging.
Xiaomi has equipped its Xiaomi 11T Pro with MIUI 12.5, the latest version of its overlay, which is based on Android 11. Rest assured: Xiaomi will provide software updates for Android 12 and future versions, and promises four years of updates. security day.
Absolutely nothing new to report. The interface remains broadly in line with what we know from Xiaomi. A judiciously designed and very intuitive control center, fluid and functional animations, but still some text optimization problems in the parameters where some are truncated for lack of space.
It should be noted, however, that the Chinese brand has still not made any effort regarding the bloatware installed on the following brands: Amazon, Facebook, TikTok, WPS Office, Amazon Music, LinkedIn, eBay, AliExpress, and others. If some will be happy not to have to install these manually, this huge batch of pre-installed applications leaves the feeling of a global and unpleasant “clutter” on a new phone.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro is equipped with a triple camera module. So there we find:
Let’s start with the main 108 Mpx sensor, which, as a standard, uses pixel binding technology. This combines nine pixels into one, ultimately offering 12MP photos. In absolute terms, this module offers good value. In standard mode, the colors are vivid and the details are present. However, it should be noted that software processing tends to boost the sharpness of certain areas. Also, we can very distinctly detect distortion in the corners of the images. To continue on the list of negative points, against the light, a slight white veil covers the images.
In fact, the contrast ratio is much less striking. We will inevitably see some flares appear here and there. If for some shots, this can be interesting, it is not uncommon to have to deal with it in, In spite of ourselves Finally, the management of HDR could have been a little better managed, because it is not uncommon for information to be lost in the light and dark areas of the image, making the details in these places almost unreadable.
In 108 Mpx mode, the shots are much more pleasant. The overall dive is precise and offers a convincing result. In terms of the focal range, a quick zoom test shows that beyond an X2 zoom, the results will cruelly lose sharpness and precision, making the whole thing unusable.
The ultra-wide-angle is interesting on several points. Despite its low resolution of 8 Mpx, it will offer pretty shots which will have the merit of keeping all the straight lines without any tendency to curvature. However, it should be noted that the latter unfortunately captures much less light than the main 108 Mpx, so a passage from one to the other is obvious. If we can also notice some chromatic aberrations at the edge of the image, the whole still restores a good vision of reality and therefore reinforces the potential of the latter for more than one situation.
Let’s also mention the night mode, which is far from being the most interesting on the market. The difference is not obvious between a shot taken with or without this mode and the stabilization when shooting does not help. A slight micro-movement during capture will give you a blurry shot. The contribution of this mode is almost negligible as the gain in brightness is low compared to the risk of tremors. The finding is even more questionable if you try to take an ultra-wide-angle photo in night mode. The images are simply unusable as the software processing is unable to determine the areas to highlight.
For its part, the macro sensor offers pretty shots. If it remains, in the majority of cases, anecdotal, it will easily be able to grasp the details of an object taken very closely. Its development makes it possible to obtain a beautiful blur of the background, making it possible to obtain a really convincing result. On the other hand, the fact that the blur applied by the software seems “radial” gives the image an unintended movement when shooting.
To conclude on the triple photo module of this Xiaomi 11T Pro, if it takes beautiful shots, the experience is marred here and there by small software problems which could be greatly improved. If you’re looking for a real photophone, this one probably won’t suit you.
A point on the video portion. Thanks to the Xiaomi 11T Pro, you can shoot in 1080P and 4K at 30fps and 60fps. You even have the option of pushing the phone to its limits with 8K at 30fps. It’s up to you to judge the need for this last format if it’s to view the videos on the FHD screen of the device. However, the functionality has the merit of being there. Finally, the stabilization is not the most efficient on the market but does the job very well by eliminating any microtremors.
