Create movie magic with this content creator's dream smartphone
Xiaomi’s Mi 11 series, based on their track record of one release after another, is all about upgrades en route to a higher flagship level. And Xiaomi's most recent offering from that notable series is proof that all good things can only get better -- with the right tweaks and turns, of course.
We've just recently got hold of the newly launched Mi 11 and our very first impression was, well, impressive.
And we're impressed this early by only just considering the special Mi 11 features that comes with the unboxed Xiaomi loaner.
Xiaomi's Mi 11 rightfully earns the flagship tag, it being the first to brandish a Snapdragon 888 processor for smoother performance and gaming. We're talking here of a chipset to boost that WQHD + 120Hz 6.81” AMOLED screen, another Xiaomi bragging point.
Xiaomi says it loud and proud, the Mi 11 packs a truly juiced up 4,600mAh battery with 55W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. We predict your phone will be topped up in 53 minutes, while wired charging would clock just 45 minutes. Juice up to full power, and discover the many wonders of this smartphone.
