Oh, and classy. Very elegant. It is still part of the Series 11 family, so it is practically identical to the rest of the phones in that range, but with some more personal and stylized touches, as we will see below.
Slim, easy to use with one hand
In recent times, the general line of mobile manufacturers has been to increase each device and each year more, the inches of screen of each mobile, making it sometimes uncomfortable to use it with one hand. Far are those devices that could be held with the palm of the hand. But this Xiaomi weighs only 158 grams and its thickness is 6.81 millimeters, which makes it very comfortable and ergonomic in hand.
The design is practically identical, as we said. In the rear camera there is the halo surrounding the main lens, and its rear casing is made of anti-reflective glass, also in a matte option. A very good option that is already common in all mobiles to avoid fingerprints and add a premium touch to the devices.
Processor and battery
As for the processor, it includes the very well optimized Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G, a processor that is in the upper-middle range but with premium features. It is mounted by other OPPO devices, Realme or even other Xiaomi, and that takes many functions or reminds of the Snapdragon 888, but without reaching the level of the 780G. In fact, it has six nanometers, while the 780G has five. In practice, it’s versatile, useful, and it feels powerful. There is no room for fear, it is a wise decision.
As for the battery, the usual in almost all smartphones: 4250 mAh capacity, and importantly this, with the option of fast charging at 33W. From Xiaomi they guarantee up to 104 hours of video playback, and a good optimization and duration in games. At that amperage it’s self-contained enough to get you through the day with normal use, if not more.
Resists 120 Hz
This device, specifically, has 90 Hz and not 120, like others in the same range. The difference is not as impressive as it may seem, but to an eye accustomed to the 120, differences can be noticed. Nothing comparable with 60 Hz, in which the change does become very large.
In fact, the 6.55-inch screen size, FullHD + resolution and HDR10 + support make the experience with this mobile more than pleasant, all taking into account the overall price of the device, which we will talk about later.
Triple camera for Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
Now, we are going to what many are really interested in: the camera. Well, not the camera, but the three cameras, as it is a triple camera integrated into the same module. The main sensor of this device is 65 megapixels, the focal aperture is f / 1.79, which, to be honest, offers good detail and definition in photos. In addition, it has an 8 megapixel ultra-wide sensor that has a great capacity to cover the surface that is going to be photographed. The last 5 megapixel sensor is the macro, for extremely close-ups, capable of capturing details almost imperceptible to the eye.
And in camera we cannot only talk about hardware, as they have also introduced software to be able to play and unleash creativity with various options such as night timelapse, different shutter options or the ‘Magic Zoom’.
