Xiaomi Mi 11 Review

Xiaomi Mi 11 smartphone was launched on 28th December 2020. The phone comes with a 6.81-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1440x3200 pixels at a pixel density of 515 pixels per inch (ppi) and an aspect ratio of 20:9. Xiaomi Mi 11 is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. It comes with 8GB of RAM. The Xiaomi Mi 11 runs Android 11 and is powered by a 4,600mAh non-removable battery. The Xiaomi Mi 11 supports wireless charging, as well as proprietary fast charging. Connectivity options on the Xiaomi Mi 11 include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/Yes, GPS, Bluetooth v5.20, NFC, USB Type-C, 3G, and 4G (with support for Band 40 used by some LTE networks in India). 

 


Xiaomi Mi 11 is a gamer's paradise with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, which offers HDR level graphics teamed with desktop level capabilities. Considering the camera options loaded within the device, vloggers will get to shoot multiple contents using a single smartphone. Moreover, Xiaomi ensures prolonged usage by offering a 4600mAh battery with 55W v4.0 Quick Charging and Wireless Charging technology. If the Mi 11 is a large phone, you’ve got the 6.81in display to blame – or thank.

Mi 11 has three storage versions: 8GB+128GB 3999 yuan, 8GB+256GB 4299 yuan, 12GB+256GB 4699 yuan, the price is exactly the same as the previous generation Mi 10. The following is our detailed test and experience of Mi 11.


Running Android 11 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 12, the software experience has the potential for greatness. Loads of apps are supported out of the box, and the UI looks sleek and clean, with Xiaomi having removed the overbearing third-party ads. That said, it’s buggy. We found our interface disappeared twice in our week with the phone, and we were left with a wallpaper alone until everything had a chance to un-bug-out. WhatsApp notifications also displayed with the wrong name linked to a message. The new Mi 11 utilizes frosted Gorilla Glass in its build, ensuring for a silky smooth feel that offers enough grip while retaining virtually no fingerprints. The display has a slight curve at the edges, which isn’t as abrupt as the one on the Mi 10-series but still makes for gesture-based navigation a bit more pleasing, especially when a case is involved. 

XIAOMI MI 11 TOP SPECS

  • Release Date: 2020, December 28
  • Dimensions: 164.3 x 74.6 x 8.1 mm
  • Weight: 196 g
  • Screen: 6.81", AMOLED

  • CPU:
  • Battery: 4600 mAH
  • Sensors: Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass



I have taken the liberty to take the USB cable and power adapter out from under the tray that holds the Xiaomi Mi 11 for this shot. Overall, the packaging is pretty simple, which has been a theme for all Xiaomi devices, even before some fruity brand decided to go green.

Xiaomi could soon launch the Redmi K40 in India but not with the same name. Many reports have suggested that it could be launched as a rebranded Poco phone but a recent listing hinted that Xiaomi could unveil the K40 in India as the Mi 11x. The Redmi K40 was launched in China in February along with the Redmi K40 Pro and Redmi K40 Pro+.


For the unaware, the Redmi K40 is codenamed “alioth' and Xiaomi has a history of adding the suffix “in” to the codenames of devices that are launched in the Indian market. This leads us to believe that the Redmi K40 may be launched in India as the Xiaomi Mi 11X.As you can see in the attached tweet, the Mi 11X Pro will go by the codename “haydnin pro”.If last years Redmi K30 series anything to go by, we can expect few more devices in the Redmi K40 lineup as we move ahead in 2021. For now, the Redmi K40 series phones are the cheapest smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 processors. Redmi K40 is priced at CNY 1,999 (Rs. 22,400 Approx.) for the 6/128GB version. CNY 2,199 (Rs. 24,700) for the 8/128GB model. CNY 2499 (Rs. 28,000) for the 8/256GB model.  CNY 2699 (Rs. 30,000) for the 12/256GB model.



Coming to the differences, the biggest ones come by way of core hardware and (primary) camera. While the K40 Pro+ and K40 Pro are powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest 5nm Snapdragon 888, the K40 sticks to a less powerful Snapdragon 870. The K40 also comes with a 48MP (Sony IMX582) main camera, while the K40 Pro and K40 Pro+ swap this with more potent 64MP (Sony IMX686) and 108MP (Samsung HM2) cameras, respectively. The K40 Pro+, in addition, has a 7P lens and can do 8K video recording making it the most capable camera phone in Xiaomi’s Redmi K40 lineup.

But a recent report indicated that the Redmi K40 series can be launched in India like the Mi 11X series.Other features include an accelerometer, proximity and gyro sensor and a fingerprint sensor.
