Introduction
Mi is dead, live Xiaomi. The company is dropping the Mi brand from its high-end phones, and the 11T series is leading the way in this redesign. Today we will explore the flagship of the updated range - the Xiaomi 11T Pro.
As part of a comprehensive reconstruction plan, Redmi phones no longer use Xiaomi, Poco phones never did, and now only the most expensive offers, formerly known as Mi, will only carry Xiaomi's name.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro builds over the Mi 11i, not the most popular among the 11th series. It has an enhanced 120Hz OLED screen with Dolby Vision support, a top-notch Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, premium harman / kardon-tuned speakers, and 120W faster battery charging of 5,000mAh battery.
The triple camera remains the same - there is a 108MP main camera with 8K video Capture, an 8MP ultrawide shooter and a 5MP telemacro snapper with AF. The same is true of the original Mi 11, with the exception of the ultrawide camera sensor resolution.
And when it comes to Mi 11 - there's something its 11T sibling has not inherited - the 6.81 "QHD AMOLED screen only works on Mi 11 and Mi 11 Ultra. It would be nice to have it in 11T Pro, but it looks like QHD screens go increasingly popular, contrary to what we expected to happen.
Other tweaks include resistance to the IP53 splash, Gorilla Glass Victus' most recent protection, but the highlight of the new package should be the 120W Xiaomi HyperCharge that is possible thanks to a two-cell battery thanks.

We would love to see a full water barrier like the Mi 11 Ultra, OIS on the big camera, and, or at least the advanced selfie snapper, but none of this has happened. Well, we think we'll adjust our Xiaomi 12 expectations and keep our fingers crossed, too.
