XIAOMI11T 5G - Smartphone 8+256GB, 6,67” 120Hz AMOLED flat DotDisplay, MediaTek Dimensity 1200-Ultra, 108MP pro-grade camera, 5000mAh, Meteorite Gray (UK Version + 2 Years Warranty)

Decided to change from a low-mid range Xperia phone to this. At the offer price for the 256 GB model, it really is unbeatable value. Compared to phones I've had previously, this is a big phone, but it seems to be in line with other phones of it's class. Setting up was easy, as was transfer of most stuff from my old Android phone through Google cloud backup (I had to manually copy across music/pics from my old SD card, as of course, this phone doesn't have an SD slot, and that wasn't backed up to the cloud). It's dual SIM capable. Charging through the provided (67 watt!) fast charger is extremely quick and the on screen graphics to show it charging are quite cool too. The OLED screen is really nice and bright, and the touchscreen is very responsive.Compared to my old phone this is clearly a step up in performance - everything runs very smoothly and I've had no frustrating slow downs when I've had quite a few apps open. It does come a customised version of Android with their "Mi-UI" running over the top of it. Apart from having a bit too much bloatware bundled with it, it's OK. There's lots of ways to theme it and organise your apps to your liking. The camera gives good results easily in various light conditions. You can read more about this in pro reviews but it does take a nice picture...The box contains a simple gel case which was a nice inclusion, and protects it from small drops etc.As another reviewer commented the decision to include a pair of wired 3.5mm headphones in the box seems a bit odd when there is no USB-C > 3.5mm adapter included. It's not a major reason for complaint as I wasn't expecting headphones but it is a curious choice. If you want to use wired headphones you'll need to buy a USB adapter separately as there is no jack plug.

Amazing phone for the money. Great features, bright screen and fully charges in less than an hour. Genuinely impressed.

Positives:Good value for money at £350 in the sale - would not pay more. Would choose a Google Pixel 6 if this was more expensive.Big High Res Screen.Well balanced speakers.Good finger print recognition.Good screen refresh.Easy to find everything you need on the phone.Super quick to charge up.Main back camera is excellent.Negatives:Can't uninstall useless Xiaomi Apps.Speaker/phone volume not loud enough.Face triggers screen to light up when I'm on a call with phone against my face.The screen has frozen once during the 1 month or so that I've been using it.Calls are not private when I'm on call, as the speaker shoots out conversation from top of phone.Front selfie camera is SHOCKING. Strange surreal selfies that totally bleach out your face or adds a strange tint to it (unfiltered). By far the worse thing about this phone. If you are majorly into selfies, go for another phone. I'm hoping a software update will improve the performance🤞. But probably not possible due to inferior mediatech processor.I previously had a 3 year old Huawei Honor phone and the front camera on the Xiaomi is worse than the Huawei which was 3 years old!Overall, probably good value for the money.If Google Pixel improve the specifications and screen size of the Google Pixel 6 and there's a good deal on offer, I would go for that next time - simply due to the camera and Pure android so less preinstalled useless apps.

Loving my new phone, I found it very easy to change over from my old one, good graphics very happy with it .

Back in 2022 (6 months use), I left a review that this phone had too many bugs.I was so wrong!This phone is excellent, and the bug issue I had was from my previous phone as this phone copied items from that phone which were not compatible.Now in 2024, I can't even do without this phone as it's competing with the bigger boys.An excellent phone

I had to send it back as the screen was faulty. I bought it with a special discount (black Friday) and when I sent it back I could not buy it again at the same price. This is not fair as it was not my fault if the screen was not working properly, I should have got a voucher to buy a new one for the same price. I asked customer service but they said it was not possible. Disappointed.

Love this phone. Got it as a replacement for my old Huawei P20 pro. Price was good given the specifications and it works like a dream. Camera is giving excellent results so far.

I am a Xiaomi fan. This is my second one after my Mi9. The fingerprint reader is not the best, as was said in the review but I’ll take that. I thought I would go to an apple but couldn’t bring myself to pay so much more for a logo. I love my phone, no regrets.
