11T Pro is a step above the 11T, in terms of specs and price. The Xiaomi 11T Pro equips a more powerful chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 as opposed to 11T MediaTek Dimensity 1200 Ultra. Plus a 120W super-fast charging rather than 67W on 11T. It has Harmon Kardon sound technology that is better for watching videos and playing music.

UNBOXING. The box is a simple and clean white. When you open the box, you will find the Xiaomi 11T Pro device itself, a USB Type C cable, an insane 120W power brick, warranty, and manual papers, the sim ejector pin, and a free jelly case cover.

On the front, there is a hole punch style camera in the middle at the top and a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with HDR10+ True Color support. It has a brighter display; you can view the screen outside and in direct sunlight. The microphone and a Harmon Kardon speaker are located on the top of the 11T Pro. A power button with a built-in fingerprint scanner is located on the right side, directly below the volume rocker which works well and is well-placed for where your thumb naturally sits on the frame. A Dual SIM slot, a microphone USB-C connector, and a second speaker are all found on the bottom. There is no microSD card slot. There are no buttons on the left side.

This phone not only performs quickly overall, but it also includes Wi-Fi 6 and 5G, allowing you to take full use of the fastest internet connections. The chip handled everything I threw at it with ease, including a ridiculous number of open browser tabs, gaming, and taking photos. I never had any lag or slowdown.
Playing demanding games won’t be an issue and all of the graphic settings are set to high. No stutters or delays. Amazing animation and movement. However, keep in mind that performance throttling will happen if you play for longer than an hour due to a heating issue.
The 11T pro is very responsive and capable of any apps and games you throw at it.
AUDIO. The two speakers with Harman Kardon produce a superb sound that can be turned up loud without sounding tinny; watching movies on this display is a pleasurable experience. The phone’s speakers are loud, clear, and accurate.
BATTERY. With a 5,000mAh battery, the Xiaomi 11T Pro appeared to last forever; I used it intermittently throughout an entire workday and still had some battery in the afternoon. I watched the KDrama video at maximum brightness for two hours to more thoroughly test it, noting how much the battery level dropped. The battery lost 12 percent of its charge throughout that time, indicating a massive overall runtime of almost 17 hours!
You’ll never run out of time to give your phone a quick charge. Thanks to the 120W charger that comes in the package, which took the phone only about 30 minutes to recharge from 0 to 100 percent.

New privacy options, a new system typeface, and a ton of interesting wallpapers are just a few of the many new features and performance enhancements that MIUI 13 offers. Although the icons are certainly a touch childish, it is colorful, vibrant, and straightforward. It comes with pre-installed apps like WPS Office and AliExpress that you might feel compelled to remove. However, you also get your Google apps available, which is quite helpful.

The camera setup is excellent all around. With a nice mix of light and dark areas, the camera output can produce vibrant, colorful images. There are some photos doesn’t capture quite as much detail when you zoom in but not a big deal.
A 12MP image (3000 x 4000 pixels) is produced by the 108MP main camera using a 9-in-1 pixel layout. This feature can be helpful if you need to crop in, but you should generally use the 12MP option instead because the image will look nicer and have less haloing.
With a 120-degree field of view, the 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens is perfect for taking pictures of huge landscapes and gatherings of people.
The 5MP tele macro camera has a 2x magnification and a 1.18-inch focusing distance (3cm). You can get creative with the results at this distance, but you’ll need a lot of light to keep the photographs from becoming noisy.
