I started buying T range phones from Xiaomi by starting with the Xiaomi Mi 9T which can still stand up to the competition two years after its release because this phone was so well designed. The T range went up a notch with the Mi 10T Pro, this phone was all about photo quality but it lacked an amoled screen. With the new generation 11T and 11T Pro Xiaomi sets the bar even higher and this time this new range is equipped with an amoled screen and a 108 million pixel camera. [b][b] The price of the T range has also increased because I bought the Mi 9T Pro for 300 € while now the 11T Pro costs more than 500 €. So I will see if this price increase is justified and if the T range can still stand up to Samsung.

Structure of my tests
I test the phones according to a pre-established structure (see below) to provide you with as much information as possible. Unfortunately, this takes a long time. Some tests like network performance tests take several days and for photo tests I sometimes have to wait until the weather is suitable to take pictures in good conditions. I am therefore obliged to publish the tests step by step, so I invite you to come back if the test is not complete at the time of your visit.[b] How are my tests different from others on the web?
- I usually buy the devices with my own money, so price is just as important as you are! - I keep the devices for at least a few weeks (sometimes more) to see what they are worth in real conditions. - I answer (when possible) your questions to help you decide before you buy - no one pays me to do these reviews, so I'm completely neutral and independent... - My pages are not filled with ads

Timeline
November 19, 2021: I bought the Xiaomi 11T On RueDuCommerce.fr during Black Friday week [b] November 24, 2021: I received the phone, the test can begin[b]
Why this phone?
I had no intention of testing the 11T when it came out because it was overpriced and seeing the upward trend in prices, I figured I was never going to test it. For the first time, therefore, I would have skipped the Xiaomi T range. Two things made me change my mind, the first is a price drop on the occasion of Black Friday week on RueDuCommerce.fr and the second is that I had a voucher at RueDuCommerce which was soon to expire. [b][b] I've always enjoyed the T range and if the price hadn't gone up so much I would have bought this new model without hesitation. The T range stands for performance, good photo quality, good workmanship and a whole host of other good things. This new version corrects the error of the previous generation by offering, using an amoled screen and the photo side, the 11T uses the Samsung sensor at 108 million pixels which is also used on the 11T Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro. The new generation runs on a Mediatek architecture, this will probably result in a little less performance but other advantages like better GPS accuracy.[b]
Unpacking
Over time and the phones of the T range that I have tested, the boxes have evolved and now apart for the Poco brand, Xiaomi standardizes its boxes to the maximum. We therefore find the usual codes for the format and colors but on the other hand the content is slightly different. We find the phone and as usual the manual, the transparent protection, the charger and the USB cable but this time Xiaomi has placed headphones in the box as well as a USB adapter for the headphones. The charger delivered in the box is a 67W charger, so you won't need to purchase an additional charger to take full advantage of the 11T's charging speed. [b][b]

First configuration
Setting up the Xiaomi 11T follows the same process as all other Xiaomi phones launched under MIUI 12.5, I didn't notice any difference with other recently tested phones. The screens are the same with still this attempt to sign up for the Xiaomi cloud and there is now also a screen for Google Pay.[b]
Finish
The Xiaomi 11T broadly follows the visual identity of the previous generation with its back with mirrored metallic reflections. The back surface is perfectly smooth, it is just interrupted by an imposing photo block which protrudes a few millimeters, so the phone cannot be placed flat on its back. The 108 million pixel sensor takes up space, so you have to put it somewhere. The back is cool and smooth, quite pleasant to the touch but you will be spending your time cleaning the fingerprints.
Xiaomi has chosen its largest panel at the moment for this 11T, I'm almost sure that I already had to test this screen on another phone from the brand, the screen test will allow us to see if I am right. The screen is a 6.67 inch amoled screen with a resolution of 1080x2400 pixels which occupies 85% of the available space. It is not yet a full screen experience but we are approaching it, the borders would undoubtedly be thinner for a phone of this price there. The selfie sensor is placed in the center, it doesn't take up much space but again, for this price point, I expected a more discreet sensor.
Above there is an infrared emitter and one of the two external speakers.
Below we find the other external speaker, the USB port and the SIM drawer which can accommodate two sim cards in duplex mode.
On the sides, nothing new, we find the ignition button on the right, it is also equipped with a fingerprint sensor which works quite well. The volume buttons are also on the right in the usual place. The left edge is perfectly smooth since the sim drawer is located below the phone. [b][b] The Xiaomi 11T has a good level of finish, we can hardly fault it for anything. I do not see any major change with the previous generation, the price has on the other hand increased a lot, so it is not on the side of the finishes that we will have to look for an explanation for the increase in price.[b]
Specifications
[b]The information below comes from the Device Info HW application. The application provides detailed technical information about the tested phone. I tested the 8GB / 128 Gb version of the Xiaomi 11T, which is also the version that sets the bar very high in terms of RAM. This phone runs under a Mediatek architecture for the CPU, GPU, wifi and GPS. I find the usual accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope, I also see a barometer in the technical characteristics. [b][b] The screen uses a default frequency of 60hz but can be configured to 120Hz, it also supports wide gamut, DolbyVision, HDR10 and HLG. The main camera is a Samsung S5khm2 which can also be found in the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the wide-angle sensor is the usual Sony IMX 355, it is present in almost all Xiaomi phones sold in 2021. [b][b]
[b][b]The Xiaomi 11T is equipped with a Mediatek Dimensity 1200 processor, I have not yet tested this processor but it should deliver good performance as it is more in the top of the Mediatek range. For the graphics part this phone is based on an ARM Mali G77 which is also a high-end GPU that I have already tested on the Samsung Galaxy S20. This smartphone is therefore well equipped to deliver above average performance and even if it is not the most powerful on the market, it should offer a high level of performance.[b]
Benchmark Antutu/3DMark
I got a score of 527,127 points on Antutu, this ranks this phone at the top of the table but for a similar or lower price point other phones like the Poco F3 or Realme GT do better. This does not detract from the performance of the 11T obviously but if you are looking for the best price / performance compromise, this phone is a bit too expensive. For the graphics part, I get a score which is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S20 and it is normal since it is the same material but I expected a better optimization. [b][b] The Xiaomi 11T therefore offers very good performance which should allow you to use any game or application without making any concessions.[b]
Antutu score : 530135 Antutu CPU : 147135 Antutu GPU : 206225 Antutu UX : 84553 Antutu Mem : 91815

Number of smartphones in the ranking:155 Position of this smartphone in the ranking:16/155
Note: this ranking only contains the phones I tested as well as a few others that I added for reference. [b]Gaming[b]To test the performance in game, I download the mobile PUBG game and evaluate the in-game experience, graphics level and depth of vision. This game is quite demanding and should help you evaluating the performance of a phone. The Xiaomi 11T sits at the top end of gaming performance, so you can play any game without compromising on graphics. The amoled screen with its 120hz display frequency as well as its 240hz sample rate will also improve your gaming experience.[b][b][b]
Network performance
This phone is compatible with 13 5G frequencies and 23 4G frequencies, so it is compatible with all frequencies used in Europe and you could use it in many countries outside Europe.[b]
Choose your country to check if your phone is compatible:
The frequencies displayed below will allow you to see if this phone is compatible with your operator or if you will be able to use it in the country where you are going on vacation.
Signal 4G (from December 2020)[b]I decided to change the methodology for measuring the network because I noticed that the configuration of the mobile network changes over time. This makes it more difficult to compare phones because the conditions are no longer exactly the same.[b][b]To overcome this problem, I set up a device that captures 24 hours a day about ten parameters from the mobile network (ex: cell id, rssi, rsrq, snr, frequency,...). I then place the phone next to the device for 24 to 48 hours taking the same measurements so that I can compare them. [b][b] Overview of the phones tested with this methodology[b][b]

[b][b]I made 1576 measurements to assess the signal quality of the Xiaomi 11T and I got an average signal of -92.003 dBm while at the moment I got an average signal of -92.305 dBm with the probe. This phone therefore obtains a better signal than the probe, this only happens very rarely, so this score is one of the best scores I have obtained. In addition to having good network sensitivity, this phone managed to keep a very stable signal on all the measurements, I only measured a deviation of 1 dBm. On the next graph the orange tips show the rare times when the probe has done better than the phone and the stability of the phone forms an almost perfect blue circle.
[b][b][b]Download/Upload speed[b]To test the download speed, I have identified some 4G cells offering good performance where I test all my devices several times to see what download and upload speed they can achieve.[b]Top 10 - speed ranking in download 1.

Number of smartphones in the ranking:30 Position of this smartphone in the ranking:0/30
Note: the theoretical maximum speed of a telephone is often limited by the configuration of the mobile network and the congestion of the network at the time of the measurement. So maybe you could get a higher speed on another network [b][b]
Wifi performance
To test a phone's ability to receive the network properly, I take measurements near my router and then remotely (and always at the same place). This gives me an average in dBm where a value of -90 dBm indicates poorer performance than a value at -30 dBm.[b]
Wifi signal[b]I performed 343 wifi signal measurements to measure signal stability and strength. I obtained a very stable signal with a variable of maximum 3 dBm over the entire duration of the measurement, the average signal was established at 24 dBm near my router. This score is a fairly average score, the Consys_MT6893 wifi chipset does not rank among the most sensitive. Remote measurements result in a signal of -68 dBm, which is also an average score. When I indicate that a score is average it does not mean that this score is bad.[b][b]Top 10 - wifi sensitivity ranking 1. Poco F2 Pro -11dBm 2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro -12dBm 3. Realme Gt -12dBm 4.

Number of smartphones in the ranking:72 Position of this smartphone in the ranking:23/72
Note: I have a 400Mbps line and a modem capable of delivering higher speed, but I can never be sure how much bandwidth is available when doing a test. [b]
GPS performance
[b]To test the accuracy of the GPS signal, I use two positioning applications to evaluate the difference between the actual position and the position indicated by the phone. This test is done outdoors with nothing to obstruct the signal. An accuracy level of up to 3 meters can easily be corrected by an application (e.g. Google Maps).[b][b] This phone is equipped with a Mediatek GPS chip which gives it a good level of GPS precision, I have here obtained a level of precision of the order of 2 meters, it is slightly better than the accuracy of Qualcomm GPS chips. This phone is also capable of receiving several frequencies: L1 / L5, E1 / E5a and B1.[b][b]Top 10 - GPS accuracy ranking 1. Poco M5 1m 2. Poco X4 Gt 1m 3. Unihertz Tank 1m 4. Oukitel C21 1m 5.

Number of smartphones in the ranking:44 Position of this smartphone in the ranking:19/44
Note: An accuracy of 3 meters or less can easily be corrected by a good GPS application. Phone performance also plays a role in how fast your display updates, so good accuracy could be compromised by too slow a display. [b]
Battery range
To test battery life I developed an application that measures the battery level minute by minute until the battery is empty. This application consumes about ten percent of the phone's resources and I do a test with 100 brightness. This test aims to reproduce a contemplative use of a phone (e.g. surfing the internet, reading articles, spending time on social networks). These results are not valid for intensive gaming/streaming use.
Capacity : 5000 Fast charge : Yes W max : 67 Range (100% brightness) : 476.00 Range (50% brightness) : 1204.00 Charging time : 97.00 Discharge speed (100%) : 0.21 Discharge score (100%) : 10.50 Discharge speed (50%) : 0.08 Discharge score (50%) : 4.15 Charging speed : 1.03 Charging score : 51.55
From March 2020, I replaced my subjective battery test with a technical test to better measure the real behaviour of the battery. Now I test the autonomy and charging time under absolutely identical conditions. I perform several measurements, so this test alone takes several days during which I cannot use the phone for anything else.
Battery life - methodology To test the battery life, I measure the battery consumption every minute in strictly identical conditions to be able to compare phones and also to allow you to evaluate your phone in the same conditions. I rule out any influence of applications that could interfere with the measurement. The autonomy is not linear, the battery sometimes discharges much faster at the end. This is a frustrating phenomenon but with my measurements, you will know if you need to find a charger quickly.
Battery life The battery of the Xiaomi 11T has a capacity of 5000 mAh and has discharged from 100% to 1% in 476.00 minutes with 100% brightness, it has discharged from 100% to 1% in 1204.00 minutes with 50% brightness. I obtain in this way an average discharge speed of 0.21% per minute with 100% luminosity and 0.08% per minute with 50% luminosity, the consumption is therefore 10.50 mA per minute with 100% luminosity and 4.15 with 50% luminosity. To be able to compare the efficiency of the phone and its influence on the battery, you have to compare the 10.50 (or 50%) score with that of other smartphones, the figure should be as low as possible.
Charging time - methodology To test the charging time, I always use the same charger with the same cable. I measure the charging time minute by minute to see the evolution of the charge as well as the charging speed. The charging speed of a battery is not linear, it is often faster at the beginning and slower at the end. The charger is compatible with fast charging.
Charging time The battery of the Xiaomi 11T has a capacity of 5000 mAh and has been charged from 1% to 100% in 97.00 minutes. This gives me an average charging speed of 1.03% per minute and therefore an increase of 51.55 mA per minute. To compare the performance of the Xiaomi 11T compared to other phones, you should use the 51.55 per minute score, this score should be as high as possible.
Important note: the charging speed is not always linear, the graph below gives you an indication of the battery behaviour.
The following table lists the phones tested with the technical battery test, they are ranked in order of efficiency. A higher battery capacity should logically result in a higher battery life but it is not always the case and it does not give any indication of the efficiency of a phone.

helpHow to read these figures? The battery capacity is an important element in determining the autonomy of a phone but it is not the only factor. A phone with a large battery may have a shorter battery life if it consumes more power. If I had to take an example from everyday life, I would use the universe of the car. If a car has a large fuel tank, it should be able to drive a longer distance unless its average fuel consumption is higher. The battery efficiency score works the same way, it should be as low as possible and represents the energy consumption of the phone. These differences in efficiency are often related to the brightness of the screen, large bright screens will tend to consume more energy and even if they have a large battery, their range will be shorter.
In summary One of the strengths of this phone is its battery charging speed. With 67W fast charging, it's probably one of the fastest phones I've tested. It took me 96 minutes to charge the battery from 1% to 100% and the charging rate is really fast as it takes 16 minutes to get to 20%. The rate decreases to 90% but not significantly because the last 10 percent is reached in 10-15 minutes.
[b][b] I got an autonomy of 476 minutes with the brightness at 100%, it is not enough for a battery of this type but it will probably be explained later screen test. The screen seems very bright to me and therefore very energy intensive, the size of the screen will not promote good battery life with 100% brightness. For normal use (eg: reading posts, pages, ...), this screen will be the element consuming the most resources, so you have to lower the brightness a little to significantly increase the autonomy. With the brightness at 50%, I got a battery life of 1204 minutes, that's almost 3 times more than with the brightness at 100%. The performance of the battery is quite linear, I did not see any change in the rhythm in the consumption of the battery.
In summary, the charging speed is excellent, the autonomy at 100% of brightness is not very good but at 50% it is classified in the good average. [b][b]
Photo camera test
To test the quality of photos produced by a phone, I do a technical test (resolution, sharpness, chromatic aberration,...) in studio (identical conditions) to evaluate the technical part objectively. From the second half of 2020, I built my own laboratory to take completely objective technical measurements. I then take pictures in real conditions to see how the camera performs. I then evaluate these photos according to my criteria but I publish the photos so that you can evaluate the result according to your criteria.[b]
The Xiaomi 11T is equipped with a Samsung S5KHM2 of 108 million pixels as the main sensor, I have already tested this sensor on the Redmi Note 10 Pro and I was a little disappointed with the colorimetry. Hope Xiaomi fixed the problem on this model. This sensor is also present in the Poco X4, the Redmi Note 11 Pro or even the Motorola Edge 20. [b][b] It is also equipped with an 8 million Sony IMX 355 ultra wide angle sensor. pixels that I tested more than ten times in 2021. There is also a Samsung macro sensor but this kind of sensor is not very interesting on a phone. For selfies, Xiaomi opted for an Omnivision OV16A10 sensor. [b][b] The main sensor of this phone is therefore also available on phones at a much lower price point, so this is not where we have to look for a reason that would explain the difference in price. [b][b][b]
Photo quality
Photo quality (indoor/studio)[b]The studio test is carried out under the same conditions so that the results can be compared on an equal basis. I calibrate my lighting for each test to obtain the same brightness and colour temperature. This test is a preliminary analysis of the technical qualities of a camera. Most phones fail this test, so you should also read the results of the other tests in the following paragraphs.[b][b] Main sensor: Samsung S5KHM2
For this first test I took as usual a series of photos with the main sensor using all the available modes (108 MP, HDR, AI, ...). The photo above is the one taken in 108 MP mode. Photos taken in the studio are often too dark, this time it isn't. Although the photo could have been exposed a little better, the result is correct. The colorimetry is too warm and it may not be visible at first glance but if you compare this photo to the other photos in the gallery, you will find that the other photos are cooler. The colorimetry test will allow you to see which type of setting offers the best result, but I had already noticed this difference on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, so no change. The sharpness in the center is good and we feel that the phone puts all the weight of the sharpness on the objects in the center, it is quite common. [b][b]
This photo gives a better idea of the sharpness produced by this sensor. The sharpness in the center is good, the Canadian note is well detailed, the small characters are perfectly legible. This sharpness does not seem to deteriorate enormously on the periphery, the small characters of the banknotes on the periphery are still easily readable, I note a small loss on the Hungarian banknote. [b][b] Secondary sensor: Sony IMX 355
At the risk of repeating myself for those who have read other tests on my site, this Ultra-wide-angle sensor does quite well for a sensor of this type, but it is not able to compete with the main sensor. The deformations are present, the sharpness is not excellent but on the other hand the colors are correct. [b][b]
The effect on sharpness is clearly more visible here, the Canadian banknote is less sharp than with the Samsung sensor and this deteriorates at the periphery. I've seen the same with every other phone using this sensor, so the 11T doesn't make any improvement here. [b][b]

[b][b]Photo: technical test[b]I was inspired by industrial technical tests to create my own technical test to evaluate the technical quality of a camera. This test is an objective assessment of a camera's ability to render a scene correctly. [b][b]I test the following elements:[b]- centre sharpness, peripheral sharpness[b]- colour fidelity based on 24 reference colours[b]- level of chromatic aberration[b]- dynamic range (ability to capture dark and light areas without loss)[b]- distortion[b][b]The technical evaluation may differ from the subjective evaluation as the feeling of a photo will be influenced by the processing provided by each manufacturer.[b][b] Main sensor: Samsung S5KHM2

[b][b]Outdoor photo quality[b] Samsung S5KHM2 main sensor
When I test phones in winter, I always have the same problem testing the photo part. The days are much shorter, the light is not very good and we still have to find a day without rain. I didn't have much of a choice to go out in ideal conditions, it was cloudy and the sun wasn't very present. [b][b] Here are my observations for these outdoor photos: [b] - the exposure time could have been a bit longer, the photos are a bit too dark [b] - the colorimetry is too hot [b] - the sharpness in the center is good, it degrades at the periphery [b] - the dynamic page looks good, I have no areas of over / under exposure [b][b] Beyond the exposure time which could have been better, what bothered me the most was the too hot colorimetry which gives the trees a brown tint. The conditions were not ideal but for a high end phone I think Xiaomi could have made a better choice. [b][b] If I use pro mode to output RAW file, I can get better result under identical conditions:
27add_a_photo
Sensor secondary
I took a photo at the same location to compare the two sensors. This Sony sensor does a good job for such a sensor and it even surpasses the Samsung in colorimetry and dynamic range. It does not however manage to match the sharpness of the Samsung sensor, the photo is not as detailed as the main sensor. If you look at your photos only on your phone, this Sony sensor can arguably compete with the main sensor under certain conditions. Be careful, however, not to take subjects too close to you because the deformation is very important.

Video quality
Stabilisation[b] The Xiaomi 11T is powerful enough to stabilize videos at 4K 30 fps. The stabilization is effective and absorbs the shocks of my steps quite well, the focusing is not always fast enough and the exposure jumps are visible. Stabilization will therefore be especially effective when the light conditions are good.[b]Video normale conditions The Xiaomi 11T is capable of filming in 4k and 30 frames per second. The quality of the video produced by this sensor is good, the focus is quite fast and I do not see any exposure jumps. I just have the impression that the video has lost a few frames (due to variable framerate?) Which sometimes causes a little jerk. The colorimetry is too hot, it's the same as for the photos. I also find it a shame here that Xiaomi has equipped a mid-range sensor in a high-end phone.[b]Video low light[b]Not yet available / tested[b][b]
External audio quality
[b]This test is intended to give you an overview of the volume and sound quality during calls and when listening to music through the external speakers. [b][b] The Xiaomi 11T produces good quality sound with its external speakers, the highs are well mastered and the lows are well rendered even if they lack a little power. The volume produced by the external speakers is average. [b][b] For calls, the volume with the main speaker is average. The sound quality in call is good, there is clearly a work on the sound because calls of this type often result in too much treble. I feel here that the sound has been softened. Using the external loudspeaker for calls makes it possible to rise above 60 db, which is also an average value here.[b]
Audio quality (headphones)
To test the quality of the phone's audio output, I connect the device's audio output to a measuring tool, then play sounds on all frequencies and measure the differences between the original sound and the sound produced by the phone. In this way I measure the phone's ability to correctly reproduce all sounds.[b] The 11T does not have a jack output and when I have to use a usb to jack converter I am not getting good results for my measurements, so I have to fall back on good old subjective judgment. The sound quality is good overall but the sound is not as thin as in the top of the range Samsung, the difference is not huge but going from one to the other the difference is noticeable. The power of the sound with the jack adapter is not extraordinary because even with the volume at full blast, there is still room. On the other hand with bluetooth headphones, the volume is much more powerful. The sound is quite well controlled because I did not hear any distortion with the jack adapter, it was a little less the case at 100% of the volume with the bluetooth headphones. [b][b] I don't know what audio chipset is used in this 11T, most likely it is the same as in other Xiaomi phones. So far, Xiaomi has not yet managed to dethrone the top of the range Samsung in terms of sound, but they are not very far.[b]
Screen quality
To test the screen, I use a colorimetric probe that measures the color accuracy of a screen, as well as other parameters to see if a screen is able to correctly reproduce an image. I also test the brightness level to determine if the screen will be able to display an image in full sunlight.[b]
Screen size : 6.67 Resolution : 1080 x 2400 Ratio : 20:9 Type : Amoled % occupancy : 85 dE white : 6.4 dE red : 0.6 dE green : 0.3 dE blue : 1.3 dE jaune : 0.9 dE cyan : 1.8 dE magenta : 0.6 White temperature : 6574 Contrast : 1000000:1 Brightness : 596
Colorimetry[b]
This phone is equipped with a 6.67 inch Amoled screen with a frequency of 120hz. I got an excellent dE of 1.97 with good color balance and with white measured at 6574K. The contrast is also very good (almost infinite contrast), the blacks will therefore be very black. The screen isn't the best screen I've tested but it's definitely in the top 10. [b][b][b][b]Top 10 - ranking of the best screens by colorimetry 1. Poco X4 Gt dE = 0.6 2. Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5g dE = 0.73 3. Xiaomi Mi 10t Pro dE = 0.83 4. Redmi Note 11 dE = 0.91 5. Redmi Note 12 Pro dE = 0.97 6. Google Pixel 6a dE = 1.01 7. Google Pixel 5 dE = 1.11 8. Realme Gt dE = 1.17 9. Redmi Note 12 dE = 1.17 10. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite dE = 1.19
Number of smartphones in the ranking:75 Position of this smartphone in the ranking:26/75
Note: the colorimetric difference is measured in dE. After three, the human eye will perceive a colorimetric difference, so the dE should be the lowest. The tests were all carried out with a colorimetric probe. [b]Brightness / Contrast[b]I measured a brightness of 596 cd / m² by flooding the sensor with light, it is possible that the screen is able to deliver even more brightness. With such a level of brightness, you will be able to use this phone in direct sunlight without any problem (as long as you activate the "sun" mode).[b]
Biometry
The fingerprint sensor is on the power button of the phone, this sensor works great and is very fast.[b]
Operating system
[b]The 11T runs MIUI 12.5 as soon as it is released, so it offers the same functionality as all other phones running the same version of MIUI, I haven't encountered any particular problems with this phone.[b]

I assigned a score of 1 to 10 for each test that determines the strengths and weaknesses of a product. I am using 0 for criteria that have not (yet) been tested. A score of 1 to 3 indicates poor performance (and yes, it does), a score of 4 to 6 indicates average performance, a score of 7 to 8 indicates good performance, and a score of 9 and 10 indicates exceptional performance. . The score is calculated based on my measurements and when there are no measurements, it is a subjective opinion based on my experience.
The scores are not static, they change over time because the performance of new products changes and this must be taken into account.

Test / Review conclusion
[b]As I wrote above, I have bought all the phones in the T Pro range since the Mi 9T Pro, so I have a historical basis to compare the evolution of this range. The most visible evolution is the price because this 11T started its marketing beyond 500 € where the Mi 9T Pro had been launched between 300 and 400 €. This year is undoubtedly a little special because the shortage of stock at the global level has pushed up the prices of the phones, the price will therefore perhaps return to a more normal level in a few months. [b][b] Ok, the price has increased but is this justified? I don't think there is anything very new about this phone that would justify the price hike. That doesn't mean it's a bad phone, no it's a good phone but for a price over € 500 it's not my first choice. I'm going to stop talking about the price, that's not the point of the test anyway, let's move on to the evaluation of the phone. [b][b] The Xiaomi 11T takes ingredients from other Xiaomi / Poco phones to tickle the top of the range of other brands. The level of finish is impeccable even if the phone is heavy and imposing. The screen offers a very good experience in terms of its resolution as well as its colors or its contrast. Xiaomi also did not neglect the radio part with good network sensitivity for calls and very good download speed. [b][b] For the photo part on the other hand, I am a little disappointed because the 11T is a phone with a premium positioning but it uses the same sensor as the Redmi Note 10 Pro. This 108 million pixel sensor is not a bad sensor, but it does have some weaknesses that have no place in the high end. This sensor has incorrect colorimetry and will require you to use pro mode to bring the colorimetry to an acceptable level. [b][b] Even though the T range does not claim a performance oriented positioning, the performance of this phone is excellent. So you'll be able to run just about any game or app without the phone slowing down. If you use it very intensively, you will feel a slight increase in temperature, but without feeling any discomfort. [b][b] I only found one real weakness in this phone, the wifi signal was pretty average and even though the signal is not bad this score is too low for a phone of this range. [b][b] The 11T is therefore a good phone overall, but its biggest weakness is its price.[b]Strengths[b]Good performance [b] Network sensitivity [b] WiFi speed [b] Battery charging speed [b] Sound quality [b] Screen quality [b][b][b]Weaknesses[b]Wifi signal just average [b] Photo / video [b] Very greedy screen at 100% [b][b][b]Alternatives to this product[b][b]Not yet available / tested[b][b]
