Xiaomi 11 Lite

Xiaomi is among the leading smartphone brands today, with a very wide range of options that one can choose from. There are also a lot of mid-range devices that can are quite powerful. One such device is the Xiaomi 11 Lite which has a sleek design, befitting of the era. A slim body with rounded edges, a very stylish camera bump on the rear and a small punch hole for the selfie camera. The body has Boba Black, Peach Pink and Bubblegum Blue colour options.

This device has a powerful processor for its class, made using the 8nm process and built with an octa-core architecture it is the Qualcomm SM7150 Snapdragon 732G. This performs well for almost any task and has the Adreno 618 for graphics processing integrated into it. These combined with the 6GB of RAM can breeze over most tasks. Games like Fortnite run smoothly on this system.

The storage is at 128GB and one cannot expand it so you will have to manage your information accordingly. The OS is based on Android 11, a system that features Machine Learning so your OS keeps optimising itself and keeps becoming leaner. Layered onto this is MIUI 12, a user interface from Xiaomi that gives users a lot more customisation options so their experience is personalised.

Display and cameras

Another feature that works well is the 6.55-inch display that is based on AMOLED technology and has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. This resolution with the size brings the pixel count to 405 pixels per inch, which is quite dense so one gets crisp visual quality. You can enjoy great quality with your gaming and streaming as well. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

For the main camera module, there is a triple-lens setup, with the main one at 64MP. The second one is 8MP and is used for ultrawide shots. The third is a 2MP sensor for macro shots. These three along with the camera app make for a versatile range of shooting modes such as Pano, HDR and more. On this side the video options include 4K and 1080p, so one gets more than ample quality.

The selfie camera is a 16MP one, this lets users get high-quality shots on that side too. With video options at either 1080p or 720p, again this is good quality.

The remaining features

The Xiaomi 11 Lite has all the wireless connectivity options with Data up to 4G and is a DualSIM able smartphone. A specific variant also has 5G abilities if one wants to make use of that feature. It even has infrared which is not so common anymore. The sensors for feedback include an accelerometer, a compass, a gyro and a proximity sensor. Unlocking via a fingerprint reader is also possible, it is mounted on the side for quick access.

Physical porting options only include the USB Type-C 2.0 and no 3.5mm audio jack which means only wireless headphones can be used.

The cell has a capacity of 4250mAh, making for a good battery that can last you a day's worth with quite a lot of usage even. It has the Fast Charging feature too, so topping up quicker is possible.
