Everything you need to know about the Xiaomi Mi 11 smartphone.

Xiaomi corporation is a Chinese high tech brand headquartered in Beijing. Recently become 2nd worldwide smartphone manufacturer, its products largely compete with Samsung and Apple with its range of MiPhones. The name “Mi” means “Mobile Internet”, but also “Mission impossible”. Indeed, who would have thought that to date, Chinese phones with a more than correct quality / price ratio could have such a good share in the telephony market, even surpassing the giant Apple? Among the little prodigies of this increasingly coveted brand, we have the very recent high-end device Xiaomi Mi 11. What are its characteristics and particularities? Here is everything you need to know before buying it!

The curved screen of the Xiaomi Mi 11

The first thing that catches our eye when we pick up a smartphone in our hands is the screen size and shape as well as the image quality. And regarding that, you can count on it, this smartphone will dazzle you! THE‘Xiaomi Mi 11 screen offers you all the advantages of AMOLED technology with which it is equipped, with perfect contrasts and unprecedented display speed. The large size of its interface allows a very good user experience and its curved shape offers superior performance to conventional screens. Thus the quality of the image offered by this smartphone is quite simply excellent with a resolution of 515 ppi and a high definition of 1440 x 3200 Mpx.

Its modern and pleasant design

Its screen is not the only part making this smartphone ergonomic and particularly pleasant to look at… Its back cover gives a soft and matte finish pleasant to the touch as to see. Its cameras are in the middle of a square with rounded edges and its speaker sports a sound waveform. Different colors are available for this model:

• Horizon Blue;
• Midnight gray.

It is also very light thanks to its aluminum finishes, which gives it a weight of no more than 196 grams! Unfortunately, this is to the detriment of a jack, thus not leaving the possibility of connecting a pair of headphones … Finally, its solidity However, this is not an asset left aside by the manufacturers since they have chosen a Gorilla Glass 5 glass in order to limit damage in the event of a fall or impact. On the other hand, no protection against water or humidity is attributed to it.

Its high-performance processor

Beyond its screen of exceptional quality, the Xiaomi mi 11 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC processor, its new little wonder designed especially for the high-end smartphones of 2021. It is made up of eight cores, which makes its power extremely high, with around 25% more performance than its predecessor, the snapdragon 865.

In addition, it provides you with a RAM of no less than 8 GB. However, its battery is lacking, because it does not have an exceptional autonomy (“only” 14 hours) according to most consumers. This small inconvenience can be compensated by the fact that it is rechargeable in its entirety in 45 minutes.

High quality cameras

On the photos or videos side, again, the Xiaomi Mi 11 hits hard and offers users something to feast on with:

• a camera offering 108 megapixels,
• and an ultra wide angle at 13 MP.

The photos are crisp and the details extremely well represented, even if the night captures remain of lower quality. Its front camera has 20 megapixels which is very correct and allows pleasant and precise videoconferences.

Its operating system

Xiaomi installed on this model Android OS 11 and its interface, the remarkable MUIU, specific to the brand.

A very competitive price for a smartphone of such power

Now let’s talk about the budget. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is quite inexpensive for similar specs compared to competitors like Samsung. In 2021, we find it new at prices ranging from about 620 euros to 700 euros.

To conclude on the Xiaomi Mi 11

It is one of the most popular smartphones most powerful on the market with its high-performance octo-core processor and its many very advanced technical characteristics. In view of its price, it is a very interesting investment. However, it is criticized for not being sufficiently developed in terms of its autonomy which remains quite low for a mobile of such a range. In addition, it does not benefit from waterproofing and its night photos are not of sufficient quality. In comparison with smartphones that are quite similar in terms of technology, we have the Samsung S20 FE or the Oneplus 8 Pro. The prices are less accessible, but these high-end devices remain more efficient than the one whose main advantages and disadvantages we have just analyzed.
