mood Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Xiaomi Launches Mi 11 Globally: Starting at 749€ Today Xiaomi is launching their new Mi 11 flagship for the global market, following their domestic launch of the phone in China almost 6 weeks ago. The Mi 11 is an interesting device as it really balances out its features as a affordable flagship device. The European prices for the new phone start at 749€, featuring the new Snapdragon 888 SoC, and what seems to be a top-of-the line 1440p 120Hz OLED display, all while featuring a high-end 108MP camera module, though the phone compromises on its other cameras.

The new chip’s CPU setup is definitely more powerful, as well as its GPU, however it can also be quite power hungry. I’m expecting Xiaomi’s implementation to be more aggressive than Samsung’s, allowing for higher power dissipation levels under sustained workloads – we’ll confirm this soon enough as we prepare for a review of the phone. The design of the Mi 11 looks to be quite attractive, and it’s definitely a sleeker phone than the Mi 10, as Xiaomi was able to thin the phone by 0.9mm and also make it 12g lighter – doesn’t sound like much, but such differences can make for a substantial change in feel. The phone features a 6.8” 3200 x 1440 OLED display that’s able to reach 120Hz refresh rates, as well as a staggering 480Hz touch input sample rate. Xiaomi advertises extremely high brightness levels; however, the company hadn’t commented on the OLED generation of the panel so as of right now we’re not sure if this is using one of Samsung Display’s newer emitter panels or if it even has VRR/LFD capabilities – but as of right now I’m assuming that it doesn’t. On the camera side, the Mi 11 features their signature 108MP sensor, binning down to 27MP in regular photos. This generation Xiaomi has opted for different optics, going from f/1.69 to a new f/1.85 system – which in my view is absolutely the right choice as the previous generation did suffer from optical underperformance on the part of the main camera. The module here also has OIS. Alongside the main sensor, we see a 13MP ultra-wide with 123°V FoV and f/2.4 optics, as well as a 5MP “telemacro” module with 2x magnification. I’m curious to see what this last module does, but I think most people should treat the phone as a dual-camera phone, which is absolutely just fine as well. 749€ - A great price The big news today was the reveal of the global/European price of the new Mi 11: 749€ for the 8+128GB variant. This is actually a pretty great price, considering it’s competing against the likes of 999€ Galaxy S21+. The Xiaomi has some drawbacks in the camera department, though we’ll have to see how they compete against each other, but also has notable advantages such as a higher quality display, and the superior Snapdragon 888 in most global markets, which outperforms the new Exynos 2100. In that regard, Xiaomi’s pricing seems to be spot-on, and of great value. We’ll be review the Mi 11 in the coming future.

zanderthunder Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Xiaomi Mi 11: 55W GaN Charger and Google Mobile Services are included for global market Xiaomi has officially has announced the Mi 11 for the international market after it was launched in China last December. This is the world’s first flagship smartphone with a Snapdragon 888 processor and it still comes with a charger in the box. Pricing and availability The Xiaomi Mi 11 is officially priced as follows: Quote 8GB RAM + 128GB storage – EUR 749 (about RM3,662) 8GB RAM + 256GB storage – EUR 799 (about about RM3,907) According to Xiaomi, the device will be released globally starting this month, however, there are no details yet for Malaysia at the time of writing. Both Lazada and Shopee are listed as Mi 11 sales channels during the live stream event. For greater peace of mind, Xiaomi is also providing a longer 2-year warranty plus 1-year free screen repair protection for the Mi 11. Xiaomi Malaysia will share more details closer to the local launch. Take note that European pricing is typically more expensive than Malaysia so expect it to be priced lower when it comes to our shores. Hardware The Xiaomi Mi 11 features a 6.81″ “quad-curve” AMOLED display that boasts a high WQHD+ (3200×1440 pixels) resolution, 1500 nits brightness and 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio. In addition, it also boasts a Super resolution feature that can bump up a low resolution 480p image to 1440p and HDR10+ plus 10-bit colour support. For a smoother visual and gaming experience, the screen also pushes a high 120Hz refresh rate and an industry leading 480Hz touch sampling rate. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is awarded the best smartphone display title by DisplayMate and it sets 13 new DisplayMate Records. This include highest peak display brightness, highest contrast ratio, highest native colour gamut and highest full screen brightness for OLED smartphones. Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line 5nm Snapdragon 888 processor with 5G. It’s paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage which isn’t expandable. For imaging, the Mi 11 sports a triple-camera setup that consists of a 108MP f/1.85 main camera that has a large 1/1.33″ sensor, 7P lens and optical image stabilisation. There’s also a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 5MP telemacro shooter which lets you get up to close at 3cm. For selfies, it features a 20MP front camera that sits in a punch-hole on the top-left corner. Another interesting feature is its in-display fingerprint sensor. Apart from allowing you to unlock your device instantly, the sensor also doubles as a heart-rate sensor. Similar to the Mi 10 series, Xiaomi has also retained a pair of stereo speakers on the Mi 11 that are enhanced by Harman Kardon. Xiaomi has added a nice touch by featuring a sound wave grill design for the bottom speaker. There’s no 3.5mm headphone jack, but the device allows you to pair two headphones or speakers at the same time. The Mi 11 is equipped with a large 4,600mAh battery that supports 55W wired charging, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. A full charge takes 45 minutes when fast charged via USB-C and up to 53 minutes with a compatible fast wireless charger. Unlike the China market, Xiaomi will include a 55W GaN fast charger in the box. Also included is an antibacterial screen protector and case which are designed to eliminate up to 99% of bacteria. Out of the box, the device runs on MIUI 12 that’s based on Android 10. Google Mobile Services still included Interestingly, Xiaomi had not mentioned anything about its status of Google Mobile Services (GMS). Prior to the launch, Xiaomi had tweeted on 28th January that the Mi 11 will come with Google apps and Google Play Protect. Xiaomi Malaysia’s PR team has assured that the GMS issue is only limited to China and it doesn’t affect global markets. This means Malaysian users will be able to get Google apps and services along with Google Play Store pre-installed on the Mi 11.
