So what can you expect from the Mi 11T and 11T Pro?
For starters, the 11T isn’t entirely anupgrade, but rather a more affordable version of the Mi 11, as Xiaomi makes way for the Xiaomi Mi 12 later this year.
Part of the price drop can be attributed to the step down from the Snapdragon 888 chip to a MediaTek Dimensity 1200, as well as a 8GB cap on the RAM (instead of 12GB). Compared to the 11, the 11T offers a smaller 6.67in display and a slightly thicker chassis (which now houses a larger 5000mAh battery), but you still get the 120Hz AMOLED screen.
Xiaomi retains the 108Mp main camera on the 11T too, though this time adds a larger f/1.75 aperture. The ultrawide sensor drops to 8Mp from 13Mp, however, but Xiaomi compensates with a 5Mp telemacro camera.
Things haven’t changed much on the 11T Pro front. Xiaomi keeps the Snapdragon 888 and 12GB RAM top configuration while boosting wired charging speeds to 120W, which should allow a full charge in 17 minutes according to Xiaomi. You’ll have to wait to read our review to see if that’s true of course.
