The Mi11x has arrived over right here in India and let's talk about it in detail.
The box includes a few paperwork, a clean case, a USB type-c to headphone jack dongle, the handset itself, a 33-watt fast charger and a USB type-c.
Design
and build
Mi11x
is a v well designed slim, lightweight and easy to use phone. It feels great in
the hand and looks good too.
Mi11x
is built well, glass on the front and back it weighs in at 196grams but it does
not feel like it because of the even weight distribution and feels very lightweight
in the hand. There is no complaint about the built quality.
This
phone comes in 3 colour options
One
design choice that I do not appreciate is the removal of the headphone jack. Inside
the box, you do get a USB type-c to 3.5 mm audio jack dongle so if you have
your wired earphones you can use them with this phone but you will have to use
that dongle.
Performance
One of the main things
about a smartphone is its performance. Mi11x comes with a snapdragon 870
processor which is based on the Qualcomm’s 7-nanometer manufacturing process. Along with that, it has Adreno
650GPU 6gb or 8gb of LPDDR5 ram and and 128 gigs of built-in,
non-expandable UFS 3.1 storage.
The
performance of this phone is top-notch. The phone feels very snappy. Apps open
up faster, it works faster as compared to budget phones and the overall system
feels v responsive. I have noticed a couple of frame drops here and there not a
lot though I'm pretty sure that they will get ironed out with some software
updates. Such a powerful phone is definitely a good thing for gamers so if you
have to play games like PubG mobile or COD mobile or any other heavy game then
you're gonna love the performance of this phone. The Mi 11x is a beast for
gaming, no doubt about that.
Software
This phone comes with MIUI v12 out of the box
based on android 11. It comes with lots of features and customizations. It has
tones and tones of features like dual apps, multi-window themes etc. Now with
that being said it also comes with bloatware, which is kind of annoying but the
good thing over here is that you can uninstall that bloatware. I would
recommend you uninstall all unnecessary applications. Though there are a couple
of bugs here and there which I am pretty sure will get ironed out with upcoming
software updates.
Display
The Mi
11X has a 6.67-inch, 2400x1800 resolution AMOLED display. The display supports
a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and HDR, although it's only an 8-bit panel.
The
display supports HDR10 and has a peak brightness of 1300 nits. The display
quality is top-notch. It has accurate colours and good contrast ratio because
of which you get deep black good viewing angles. The display on the Mi 11X can
get reasonably bright both indoors and outdoors. Watching content on this
smartphone is excellent because of that display. The display also has a refresh
rate of 120 hertz with a touch sampling rate of 360 hertz. Snapdragon 870
easily handles the 120-hertz refresh rate and so swiping, scrolling and other
gestures are extremely smooth because of the 120-hertz refresh rate.
Camera
There
is a triple camera setup. A 48megapixel primary camera, an 8mp ultra-wide-angle
camera and finally a 5mp micro camera.
From
the primary 48mp camera you can shoot some amazing photos. The dynamic range is
impressive even in difficult conditions. The HDR mode does help over herein
exposing the highlights and shadows in a good way. For low lighting scenarios,
there is a dedicated night mode that works well.
Now
the ultra-wide-angle camera has a very good perspective with a field of view of
119 degrees. But the dynamic range could have been better especially with the
highlights as it sometimes overexposes the highlights which is kind of
annoying so HDR mode for the ultra-wide-angle camera def needs some tweaking. Apart
from that, the photos are soft and they don’t have a lot of detail in them
because of the 8-megapixel sensor. The colours are accurate, not too
oversaturated, not too undersaturated.
You
can shoot some creative macro shots with the 5-megapixel camera. It is high
quality, has a good amount of details and does not feels unnecessary.
Video
shooting
From
the rear camera, you can shoot upto 4k at 30fps with support for electronic
stabilization. the quality is excellent and the colours are on point but it
does not support 4k60fps else it would just be awesome.
Now on
the front, there is a 20mp camera and it works well. High-quality detailed
selfies with natural skin tone and very good dynamic range as well.
Battery
and charging
Mi11x
comes with a 4520 milliamp-hour battery. this battery will last about a day or
so with around 20 hours of usage on a single charge. In terms of charging
you're getting 33watt fast charging over herewith the charger inside the box
itself. So no complaints in terms of charging and battery life. Unfortunately,
there's no wireless charging option on the Mi 11X.
Fingerprint
sensor
The
fingerprint sensor is placed on the power button. Side-mounted fingerprint
print sensors are better than in-display fingerprint sensor. They are faster
and more accurate and the same is the case with this one.
Speakers
This
phone has a pair of dual stereo speakers which are really good. the sound is
clear crisp and the volume is good too.
IR
blaster
Me11x
also comes with an IR blaster which means you can use this phone as a remote to
control your tv, ac etc.
