Xiaomi Mi 11 for IG, Tiktok & camera features: Social media test! By Isa does tech

So, I usually do camera vlog tests, but you guys have been asking me for social media samples and how these cameras fare with everyday social media use. So today we're testing out the Xiaomi me 11 for TikTok Instagram stories, and you guys you made me download Snapchat for this. We have the Xiaomi mi 11 here and part of the whole point of this phone is movie magic with the triple cam setup on the back, which includes a 108 megapixel shooter. This thing is definitely targeted towards mobile filmmakers, like they even sent me this director's chair to further bolster that point. But this video is not to check the mobile filmmaking aspect of this phone. There are many great videos on that out already one of them Joshua so go check that out and also still, let me know down in the comment section below if you would want me to do a vlog test anyway.

Basically, I've been getting a lot of comments about how people love it that I test out the phone cameras with Instagram stories or social media. It's interesting that I don't see a lot of tech videos, testing out, phones for everyday social media use when all of us are on social media. That being said, the question that this video aims to answer would be: what does this phone? The Xiaomi me 11 have to offer the everyday person who just loves posting online? Will my stories or posts be any good? Will the 11's new fun camera features play well with social media? Let's find out we're, starting with how photos and videos shot with the.11 looks like on different social media, so I'm going to be shooting stuff with this phone, and then I'm going to be shooting stuff. With this phone on the app itself, we're going to be trying out TikTok Instagram stories and Snapchat, and then we're gonna look at those posts from this phone on two different devices: an iPhone and another android phone. This is the then, let's go first.

We need to do some selfies and some stories here we go iPhone, 12 mini and then Xiaomi 10. Let's look at the stories, so this was shot with the IG app selfie that I posted on two Instagram stories, and this is from the camera app with both now for ticktock. This is an example of what I shot with this video being shot by the front-facing camera of the 11 via the ticktock app and the rear cameras of the mi 11 and yeah. This is being shot with the Kickstarter being shot by the front-facing camera of the 11 via tick, took, app and the rear cameras of the 11 and yeah. This is being shot with the tick-tock app.

So in general I like how that looked except. I noticed that when I shot with the app directly on the mi 11, there are sorts of lags when zooming in or zooming out, I mean it's a general rule that to have better footage, just use your phone's native camera app and then edit on tick. Took also follow me on tech talk, and here are my examples of tick rocks that I shot with me 11. Finally, for Snapchat, it's actually my very first Snapchat in years, um yeah. I'm shooting this with the 11.

On the iPhone. Ah, this loading thing is forever. This is actually my very first Snapchat what so anticlimactic, yes, um yeah, I'm shooting this with the me11 the hulk filters. I've missed this, but also I can't figure out how to upload photoshop a 20, megapixel selfie punch hole is in the upper left corner of the phone screen and there are a number of different features for your selfies. First off.

There is a very detailed beauty mode. Now, like I always say, the beauty mode is fun, use it to enhance how you look use it just like makeup, but that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the real. You love the real you aside from the beauty mode. There are also different filters on here: there's also a dedicated portrait mode for selfies, which allows you to toggle and adjust the blur. There are cinematic effects on this mode, and it works for both front and back cameras.

I like these effects. It makes for some really cute selfies and some very interesting posts. My favorite selfie feature because I'm a strong, independent woman, the gesture selfie option is available on this phone and this means that you can shoot your own old shot or Instagram worthy location shots when we finally get to travel. All you need to do is prop your phone up, and you're good to go. HDR even on selfie is on point, and I learned this trying to test out the edit sky feature.

I've only really seen this on Xiaomi phones, but basically, when you take a photo of yourself and the sky, you can edit the sky, and there are many options you can make it into a brighter sunny day, beautiful, pink sky or even animated edits like snow. Anyone and yes, you can edit any photos after shooting them. On the 11. There are great editing options built in there's beauty mode. After taking the photo different filters, different creativity filters, you can adjust settings doodle and another cool feature erase.

So this allows you to erase unwanted stuff on your already shot: selfies unwanted stuff like, for example, people in the background or annoying power lines yeah. This is going to be useful as they're your cameras, and these are just my general thoughts that 108 megapixel camera does shine. It's able to take generally great photos. It can do wide up until 30x, and I've found that 5x and 10x are impressive in true Xiaomi fashion. There's always that depth when you take your shots and there's also a macro mode, which is generally okay in great lighting situations, so yeah.

These are very capable cameras and here are random everyday shots from that camera and say hi to so on, selfie video. You can shoot 720p, which is this 1080p 30fps. That's this footage or 1080p 60fps you're. Also listening to the original audio that the phone recorded there is a beauty mode. This is live beauty mode right now, as you can see, I am way smoother.

This is toggled up to a hundred percent, but I usually do like 20 or 30 so that it's just a subtle beauty mode. Now, there's also what you saw earlier on the stories live. Pok?mon, that's actually pretty good. This is toggled up to a hundred percent, but again you can adjust it from zero to a hundred which is pretty cool. There are also different effects, including color point like this one.

So now I'm definitely at the center of attention when it comes to the video you're watching um. One thing about this effect: uh the portrait mode and the beauty mode is that it downgrades your selfie video to 720p. Now, that's actually a very common thing when it comes to phones, and I'd, say if you're shooting for Instagram stories or stuff like that, it's going to be fine, mostly while there is a dedicated, steady mode under your video. There is none on selfie video, there's, no pro mode on photo or video for the selfie camera, and also- and this is something that I've always wanted, especially now that people have been shooting like tick rocks with their front facing camera, but I've always wanted a remote um trigger a remote shutter for video. The way you could do with the s pen, because then that would be cool for shooting tick, rocks and stories and old videos and stuff, like that, one cool thing for selfie.

Video, though, would be this tag feature, so you can press that while you're shooting your remote video and later on, go back to that very moment, and so this is the video that we just shot. Now you can see here that there's the tag you can tap that, and it will bring you immediately to the moment that you marked earlier pretty useful, for example, if you shot something, but it's pretty long, and you took a mental note with this tag of what part you want to use later on now, of course, the rear cameras on this phone can shoot better videos. It can even shoot in 4k, but in this video I'm not even going to get into that because then, like it's gonna, be a very, very long video, and so let me know if you want me to do a vlog test. There are, however, a number of modes on this phone. That's dedicated to social media.

First and foremost, we have the short video mode on this mode. You can shoot 15. Second clips apply effects like slow motion to superfast use, the different cameras, even selfie, and add other effects like beauty mode, different filters- and I like this is pretty cute kaleidoscope mode. You can even add background music and then, from here after shooting the video, you can press this button, which will allow you to immediately share that short video to your different social media platforms already installed in your phone. Why do we have this mode? Well, basically, it's androids, or it's these manufacturers answer to the complaints that Instagram stories or all other social media platforms.

Don't really look good in android. I'm not going to get into the whole reason for that, but the solution was to shoot in your phone's native camera app and to make it even easier for users. They've come up with a short video mode which allows you to shoot in the native camera app and then directly post. You get there's also a dual view mode which allows you to shoot with both the front and the back cameras. You can adjust it to.

However, you like and yeah it's just a pretty cool thing to play with for Instagram stories and stuff, like that, oh you can even take stills, while you're shooting aside from those modes and again part of the whole movie magic branding. This phone has a number of great movie modes. Now, can we use those modes for vertical video? Let's find out. First up, are these movie effect modes which really look great in the previews? Unfortunately, I've not been able to test them out exhaustively because you guys were all staying at home. I did fixate on getting a magic zoom one done and once I hit enter it shows you an interface.

That's horizontal, though that focus thing does flip around, and I did try shooting with this. Basically there's a learning curve. Eventually I got it all you really needed was a smooth, fast motion and yeah. It does sort of work on portrait, though you'd probably need a very patient Instagram boyfriend to shoot one of these because again learning curve, there's also clone mode, which is a really, really fun feature. It allows you to clone yourself whether it be on photos or videos, and I love this except one.

Furthermore, it only works on landscape mode. I really wish I'd do this on portrait mode as cool as this all, is you really need a second person to shoot? You like, I shot myself by a mirror, and it was hard. Finally, you have the vlog mode, which is something I love for. You know vlogs, because it allows you to shoot really quick cinematic stuff without you even editing or thinking about it. Unfortunately, again this only works on landscape mode, but let me show you yeah friends.

This is what the garden looks like and that whole montage thing didn't even take five minutes. I mean push come to shove. You can always just post your horizontal video on social media. It's just not going to be optimized because it's not vertical, and it doesn't fill in the whole screen, which is what you want to do for social media posts. The 11 does of course, have night modes, but they're also cool long exposure modes, which can actually be cool posts if you can figure out shooting them.

Well, I mean I just generally subcat light paintings, but that's me there is a moon mode. Now, personally, I do not understand why so many phones are so obsessed with shooting the moon, but this particular one can do decent shots and, interestingly, there are even options to do these light shadows and I mean I'd. Imagine you would be posting these to social media and that's really the fun part about social media. Isn't if you can post whatever you want. However, you want with help from tools like the 11, which help you create so many things, and that was our Xiaomi 11 social media test.

Let me know what you guys think this is the first time I'm doing a social media test. Also, let me know if I missed anything or if there's something you'd want me to include on the next one. If you want to see how I use my tech on a daily basis find me online, that's at ISA does underscore on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok until next time. You.
