Xiaomi Mi 11i Unboxing, First Look & Sample Pictures! By Redskull

What's happening everyone, my name is Alex and welcome. Back in today's video, we are checking out one of the latest phones from Xiaomi called the 11i, so this is kind of like a cheaper flagship. If that makes any sense, because inside this phone we have the same CPU that we have in the Xiaomi mi 11 in the Samsung Galaxy s21, the OnePlus 9 pro and a bunch of other flagships out there, but this one is cheaper. So we have that snapdragon 888, that's paired with eight gigs of ram and, in my case 256 gigs of internal storage, but this phone actually gets a higher an tutu benchmark score than my Xiaomi mi 11, which is pretty impressive for a cheaper device. Alright, so the phone comes in a box that we've seen many times in the past from Xiaomi, so very familiar looking box inside the box, you're, obviously going to find the phone itself. Mine is the black color or the gray color.

It looks something in between. It really depends on how the light hits the back. Furthermore, it looks lighter or darker, depending on the situation of course, but I can definitely tell you that if you are using this without a case, you will have a lot of fingerprints on the back. I'm not sure if you can actually see that um on the camera. Talking about the case um, there is a clear case that comes in the box.

Definitely a nice addition! This you don't have to spend money on an additional case. There are some booklets in there. There is an USB to a 3.5, mil audio jack adapter, so you can use some regular headphones on with your phone. There is an USB cable and a 33 watt fast charger, so this phone is not going to charge as fast as the regular Xiaomi mi 11, but still charging it from 0 to 100. It will be done in under an hour, oh and don't forget to press that like button and subscribe, if you haven't done so on already all right going back to our phone well, this looks a bit different from the regular me level.

I'm actually going to do a full comparison between this one and the mi 11 in a day or two but um. For now. This is basically a smaller phone. We have a screen, that's a point: six seven inches AMOLED panel. We have a 1080p resolution of the mi 11.

Furthermore, we do get a higher resolution than this one, but still this is one of the most beautiful screens that I've seen on any mobile device, not to mention the screen does get extremely bright, so the maximum brightness is 1300 nits. Just to give you an example, the maximum brightness on the mi 11, so the regular me 11, it's 1500 nits. So still a beautiful screen that gets super bright, so you're going to be able to see this screen. No matter where you go as you'd expect. The phone has a metallic frame all around it, so we have glass on the front glass on the back.

Basically, on the right hand, side of the frame we have the volume buttons and the power button, and the power button is also a fingerprint scanner. Personally, I prefer physical fingerprint scanners over the ones that are in screen. I find that these work on better and, of course, that's the case with this one. So all you have to do is touch that fingerprint scanner and the phone will unlock right away. So it is extremely quick at the top.

We have the IR blaster and some holes for the second speaker, so this device has one speaker at the top and one speaker at the bottom. So whenever you are watching videos on YouTube listening to music, you do have um two speakers and the speakers sound, perfect as well and at the bottom. Here we have the slot for the sim card. This device can take two sim cards, so it cannot take a SD card. I know that is a bit unfortunate, but it doesn't.

Next to that we have the USB port. We have the hole for the microphone and the second speaker, as I mentioned earlier, the back of the phone is made out of glass and yes, it does look like a mirror. You can definitely see yourself in it and on the back there we have three cameras, but the cameras are a bit different from the cameras that we have on the regular Xiaomi 11. So the main camera is a 108 megapixel sensor, but, unlike the regular me 11, this one doesn't have optical image stabilization. Now I did try a lot of phones without optical image stabilization.

I don't think it's going to be. A problem actually took about 100 pictures to this phone already, so it's not going to be a problem, but technically the camera on the regular me 11 would be better. But again that is the more expensive device. Next to that, we have an 8, megapixel ultra-wide camera, and then we have a 5 megapixel macro camera and I did take a bunch of pictures with them all three cameras and the pictures do look perfect, but I will have a full camera comparison between this and the regular me 11 in maybe two days or maybe three days, I'm also working on a comparison between this one and the iPhone 12. Okay.

So this one can also record in 4k, 34k, 60 and even 8k with the rear camera, but for the front camera you can only record in 1080p at 30 and 1080p at 60 frames per second, so you're not going to be able to do 4k um recordings with the front camera that front facing camera is a 20 megapixel sensor and now the positioning of it is also changed. So before the regular me level, it is sitting on a side now it's kind of sitting in the center and at the top of the screen, and we also have a little silver ring. I'm not even sure if I can actually show you that on the camera you can see depending on how the light hits that silver ring around it. The phone comes pre-installed with mini, 12.0.3 and, of course, that's based on android 11, but I was actually surprised that this doesn't have mini 12.5 on it. My regular me 11 actually got me UI 12.5 on the other day, so I was actually expecting this one would come pre-installed that, but no, but hopefully it will get that soon enough, as you'd expect that um snapdragon, 888 and 8 gigs of ram the phone does perform extremely well for pretty much everything that you're going to be doing on it and, of course I do have to use the phone a bit longer. I haven't had enough time with it.

I can't really tell you how it does if you play games for like three hours and so on, so I do need a bit more time on, so I can tell you more about it, but I will cover all that in the full review that will follow up in like a week or so. Of course, there is a NFC chip inside, so you can make payments to the phone and one thing I've noticed. Well, I kind of knew about it before the phone doesn't support them wireless charging, so you have to plug it in every time. You want to charge it unlike the regular me11 that does support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. One thing I forgot to mention um when I was talking about the screen.

The phone also supports that always on display, because obviously we have an AMOLED screen. So if you like um having the screen on at all times, yes, this phone can work with that. So I was very happy to see that so there you have it. This is a super quick look at the brand new Xiaomi mi 11. I will have more videos coming up in a few days after I get a chance to use the phone for a bit and get a better feel for it, not to mention that I will have that camera comparison that first camera comparison um up tomorrow.

Alright guys, don't forget to press that, like button, don't forget to subscribe, and I will see you in the next one.
