The Xiaomi 11T series was released as a 2021 cover flagship phone by Xiaomi, and the specifications and features present in this series make it a perfect fit for a late 2021 giveaway.
The 11T and 11T Pro are the successors of the other 11 series flagship phones that have been released by Xiaomi. This series is also the first cellphone to use the new name for Xiaomi cellphones, which no longer use the word 'Mi'.
Here are the reasons why the Xiaomi 11T series is perfect for your end of year gift.
Fast processor
Xiaomi 11T Pro uses Snapdragon 888, the flagship processor -- or system on a chip -- from Qualcomm. While the cheaper 11T uses the Dimensity 1200 Ultra from MediaTek.
Even so, the performance of the 11T from our tests -- although slower than the Snapdragon 888 -- is still capable.
Hardware-wise, both the 11T and 11T Pro have the same camera. That is a capable 108MP main camera. Also a 5MP telemacro camera, and an 8MP ultra-wide-camera.
Optimized with the latest technology of 9-in-1 pixel binning which takes sharp images without excessive noise, as well as the smart Dual Native ISO feature which will select the most ideal camera ISO setting for the conditions when the image was taken.
There is also an easy "One-click AI Cinema" feature with unique effects such as Time Freeze, Freeze Frame, Magic Zoom, Parallel World, Night-time Lapse, and Slow Shutter. Record detailed sound without getting too close to the subject using the Audio Zoom feature which reduces ambient noise.
Especially for the 11T Pro, there is an additional HDR10+ video recording feature and resolutions up to 8K.
Charming screen
The seamless animation of the Xiaomi 11T series comes through the 6.67" FHD+ 120Hz AdaptiveSync AMOLED Flat Display, one of the best AMOLED screens for displaying content.
The maximum brightness level is 1000 nits, with a contrast ratio of up to 5000000:1. Also HDR10+ support to display richer details of the content being watched.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro screen is also equipped with Dolby Vision which supports HDR10+ to enhance the movie viewing experience with brighter colors, brighter highlights, darker shadows, a diverse color palette, sharper contrast, and richer details.
Fast charger
The included charger and the charging technology that the 11T supports are different from the 11T Pro, but they have something in common. That is equally tight.
The 11T uses a 67W charger, which is claimed to be able to charge the battery from empty to full in 37 minutes. In the tests we did, the speed was not that fast, but it was still fast.
Then the 11T Pro, which stole the show with its 120W charger. This charger is claimed to be able to charge the battery from empty to full in just 17 minutes. Oh yes, both of these phones are equipped with a 5,000mAh battery.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro battery takes advantage of the dual charge pump and dual cell features for optimizing large wattage currents and reducing heat by dividing them. Multiple Tab Winding battery technology is an improvement over Middle Middle Tab technology with faster charging and better temperature control.
