Xiaomi Mi 11 Review: Better than Galaxy S21? By YugaTech

Hey guys Justin here of fintech and let's finally dive deeper on what this Xiaomi mi 11 5g has to offer coming in equipped with a snapdragon triple a chipset. It comes with more upgrades, such as a 120 hertz quad curve display Harman Kardon stereo speakers and a 108 megapixel primary camera. On paper. It looks like Xiaomi really raised the bar high living up to its bang for your buck standards, but let's see what it's really got when it comes to everyday use, starting with design the Xiaomi 11 screams premium, with its curved gorilla glass back and front with a thin metal frame, even if it's taller than its predecessor, it still fits the palm well, although people with small hands might prefer to use both to get a better grip. What we have here is in the horizon blue colorway, but you can also opt for the midnight gray or the cloud white variant. The rear has a matte finish on it, and it is sealed.

With gorilla glass 5. On the upper left is a protruding square, with rounded corners triple camera setup. That's far from current iPhone camera modules below that is some Xiaomi branding up front. We get an almost a bezel-less 6.81 inch wide quad, HD, plus AMOLED dot display with a 20 by 9 aspect ratio and an extra sharp pixel density of 515 pixels per inch. We get a tiny punch, hole notch on the upper left for the front camera, and we also do get an under display fingerprint sensor.

That's easy to reach. The screen is protected by the new corning gorilla glass rectus, which is actually two times more scratch resistant than the gorilla glass 6. , and it can survive drops of up to 2 meters. On top of that, it also has a pre-installed screen protector. So thanks for that, there's nothing to see on the left side, but on the right are its power button and volume, rocker, they're, click and tactile up top.

Is the noise-cancelling microphone together with an IR blaster and the secondary speakers by Harman Kardon looking closely there's a Harman Kardon branding embedded beside it underneath we'll find the type c port speaker grill primary microphone and the sim slot inside the slot is a dual sim tray, both of which are 5g capable, but unfortunately, there's no micro, SD card slot here overall for design the mi 11 is charming and high quality. There's no doubt that it's got most of the flagship touches, except for an IP rating which we are hoping to see soon in the future, Xiaomi smartphones. Moving on to display the mi 11 sports, a stunning 6.81 inch wide quad, HD, plus AMOLED screen with a resolution of 3200 by 1440 pixels and a pixel density of 515 pixels per inch. It has hdr10 plus support and, of course, that smooth 120 hertz refresh rate option. It is an adaptive sync display, so once you turn on 120 hertz, it will automatically adjust the refresh rate depending on current demand.

So you can save more battery, although it has a curved display. We didn't experience a lot of accidental touches from the sides and that's good if, for some reason, the notch still bothers you, while Xiaomi still gives you the option to hide it in the settings in the display settings, there's seriously a lot to tweak around first there's the light mode and the dark mode that can be scheduled. If said, you want to have a dark scheme every nighttime, even for the brightness level, it has a sunlight mode to adjust the brightness to strong ambient light when automatic brightness is off the brightness for every time you use night mode is also separated, and it's something I personally appreciate other than that there's also reading mode and besides reducing the amount of blue light, it has a paper mode that gives an additional paper texture for your reading sessions. Nice then there's the option to turn on anti-flicker mode and choose your preferred color scheme. As for the display resolution and refresh rate, you can reduce the resolution to a 1080p display, as well as reduce the refresh rate to the standard 60hz to save more battery life.

There are also additional settings you can play around if you want to enhance your photo and video viewing under AI image engine. The always on display feature is also available, and it is packed with numerous themes that are all customizable. As for audio quality, it's actually very good sounds come out well-rounded, with a decent amount of bass. It can get loud enough for a medium-sized room and with the Harman Kardon dual speakers, we get rich tones with some slight vibrations that makes playing games more exciting. The sound quality can also be customized in the settings under sound effects, and you even get additional options once you connect a headset if you notice, there's no headphone jack on the mi 11, but it does come with a type c to 3.5 millimeter headphone adapter in the package. If you still prefer wired headsets talk about software, the mi 11 runs on android 11 skin, with mini 12 out of the box.

It's no secret that we've always liked how mini maintains a minimal looking interface, even if it includes a few ads and guys mini 12 is no exception. We like it and yes, it has Google services, it looks clean and straightforward. We like that it didn't come with a lot of bloatware, and we only get a couple of Xiaomi proprietary apps as well as some from Google other than that there are only about five pre-installed third-party apps that you can always uninstall. If you like, the customization features in the settings can be overwhelming in a good way. By that I meant almost everything from the home screen to the lock screen can be personalized.

You can navigate with gestures or the on display buttons, and you can also disable the app drawer if you're, not a fan of it. Interestingly, we get the option to use the usual android drop down notification and control center format or the newer style. That's a lot similar to the iOS design. If you ask us, we like the newer iphone-like style, there's a new floating window feature that can be highly useful for multitasking, and you can easily access it every time. You view the recent apps you used.

However, it is limited to one floating window and there are only a few compatible apps that you can use for other features. It comes with super wallpapers, one-handed mode, dual apps, app block digital well-being, second, space video toolbox and light mode for less visual clutter. The 11 is available in two storage options: 128 gigabytes and 256 gigabytes of UFS 3.1 out of the 128 gigabytes that we got. We get a usable, 108 gigabytes which should be enough for most users. Unfortunately, it is not expandable via micros card moving on the mi 11 isn't just all about display performance wise.

It is impressive. Its snapdragon triple 8 processors is paired with an arena 660 GPU, along with 8 gigabytes of ram, which is the one we have or 12 gigabytes of ram, and definitely we weren't disappointed with its performance. Launching and loading apps are lightning fast and are further accentuated with a smooth, 120hz refresh rate. Gaming is a no-brainer as playing graphically intensive titles run smoothly, especially with the game. Turbo support for some numbers take a look at the benchmark scores.

We got although you take note that, while the mi 11 is equipped with a vapor chamber cooling system, we did encounter some occasional heating when running heavy apps for an extended period of use. Nonetheless, it doesn't get to an alarming hot level. When it comes to security, you can unlock the phone by a facial recognition or the under display fingerprint scanner. There's nothing new here both are reliable and work smoothly and accurately. As for connectivity, the mi 11 is complete and up to date with support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, 5.2, dual-band GPS NFC and dual standby 5g juicing up the device is a 4 600 William hour battery. That's a thin lower compared to the Xiaomi mi 10, but the upgrade you get is its 55 watts wide fast charging, 50 watts, wireless and 10 watts.

Reverse wireless charging takes around 45 to 50 minutes from zero to a full 100, and if you're wondering it does come with a power brick in the box, we ran it through the PC marks battery test and the device yielded 10 hours and 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in our standard video loop test, it got a total score of 14 hours and 24 minutes, not bad for a high consuming display. Now, taking a closer look at the camera system at the rear, its triple camera module is composed of a 108 megapixel main sensor with deaf and is. Then we get a 13 megapixel ultra-wide and a 5 megapixel macro lens. Meanwhile, on that tiny notch is a single 20, megapixel shooter.

As for other camera features, we get a couple similar to the mi 10. This includes pro HDR portrait, Google Lens and movie frame, to name a few. You can even customize the colors and layout of the camera interface and save images in HEIF or high efficiency image file format, which is nifty quality. Wise images produced by the rear cameras, often look sharp clear bright with natural, looking colors and shows good dynamic range. When you turn the AI on it gives a subtle boost that mostly focuses on the vibrancy and saturation part by default.

The standard mode gives a nice depth effect, giving those professional looking photos. However, if you really want to bring your camera a game on, then we suggest that you use the pro mode that even allows you to save shots in raw file formats. The ultra-wide lens does a very good job in closely matching the colors as in standard mode, but there can be some fish eye effects sometimes. Nonetheless, this is still highly useful for us. Taking macro shots, on the other hand, can be a hit or miss, but once you get the right focus, you can expect a nice subject: background separation and high quality details.

So if you may have noticed, there's no dedicated telephoto lens on the mi 11, but it does compensate with the 108 megapixel high resolution lens. If you want the digital zoom quality, it is quite a hassle, but if you don't mind, the lower quality Xiaomi still provided up to 30 times zoom on board more on its 108 megapixel shooter, using it produces very detailed photos with quality, that's almost identical to the standard mode. It's still a great feature to have and would probably be useful if you're going to print your photos in a huge tarpaulin or whatnot, but quite honestly, no matter how much you increase the camera resolution, it doesn't guarantee that it would look as crisp and clear once it's uploaded to your social media, so yeah for night photography. Here's what it looks like without the night mode turned on. As you can see, it's dark and grainy.

Now here's what it looks like with the night mode turned on: it's not the best since it still looks washed out, but we do get a brighter shot with more details, there's also an autonight mode that you can turn on in the settings, so it will automatically detect low light and produce a better shot. It takes less time to take a shot with it compared to using the night mode, but the quality is often just as close to each other. If you want to take your night shots to the next level, then you can use the supermoon, that's mainly dedicated for taking awesome shots of the moon. This feature allows you to zoom in up to 30 times selfies. On the other hand, look great under good lighting conditions.

It falls more on cooler tones with the natural skin tone being retained, plus we like that it doesn't go overboard with the beauty mode on the portrait mode also has an excellent subject, background separation, and you can even play with the aperture and blur style afterward now for videos. It is capable of shooting up to 8k at 30 frames per second and 4k 1080p and 720p at 30 or 60 frames per second, the steady video mode, as well as the steady video pro mode works across all settings which is great for vlogging. Moreover, it comes with tons of cinematic features that helps you create those cool intros with slick transitions under movie effects. You can play around with fun video quarks such as magic, zoom, slow, shutter time, freeze, nighttime lapse and parallel world so locally. The Xiaomi mi 11 will come with 8 gigabytes of ram and 256 gigabytes of storage, and it's priced at 36, 990 pesos sure the Xiaomi mi 11 has a few drawbacks, such as the occasional heating lack of telephoto lens, slightly lower battery capacity and lack of an iv rating, but there's still a lot of convincing reasons why you should get this beastly phone.

Besides the stellar performance and outstanding display, you get a good set of cameras, Harman Kardon stereo speakers and fast wired and wireless charging. That's all sealed in an attractive premium design, it's one of the best performing phones, you can get to date, and we do highly recommend it and that's it, for this review guys share to us what you think about this Xiaomi mi 11 in the comments below and if you enjoyed this video, be sure to drop a like subscribe to our channel for more content hit that bell icon.
