Xiaomi 11T Pro review: specs, battery & used prices
Hands-on-style overview of the Xiaomi 11T Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888: screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.
Summary
The Xiaomi 11T Pro is a 2021 flagship-value phone on the Snapdragon 888, with a 6.67-inch 120 Hz OLED, a 5000 mAh battery with 120 W charging, and an IP53 body at 204 grams. Our catalog scores it 100 on charging and 48 on camera, with the 8/128 GB trim listed new near $650 and a single used example around $330. A 108-megapixel main camera is joined by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 5-megapixel auxiliary, recording up to 8K30 video. The Xiaomi 11T is the lower sibling, and the Xiaomi 12T is the successor.
Display and design
The 6.67-inch flat OLED refreshes at 120 Hz with peak brightness listed at 500 nits in our records, and Dolby Vision support flattered media playback for the year. The 204-gram IP53 body resists splashes rather than submersion, with a flat frame and a large rectangular camera island. Our compactness score of 78 marks a conventional large flagship of its era.
Performance
The Snapdragon 888 earns an everyday axis of 65 and a gaming axis of 22 in our model: short-term speed was flagship-class, while the platform's heat behaviour capped sustained sessions, a known trait of this chip. Tracked trims carry 8 to 12 GB of RAM, and our records show the software window already closed by two years. As a used daily driver it still feels quick in ordinary use.
Camera
A 108-megapixel main sensor leads the rear, joined by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 5-megapixel close-range auxiliary, recording up to 8K30 without optical stabilization. The camera axis of 48 was a strong result for the T series: daylight detail from the high-resolution sensor was genuinely flagship-adjacent, while the missing stabilization tells in video, and night consistency was the gap to true camera flagships.
Battery and charging
The 5000 mAh battery scores 40 on our battery axis, a dependable full day, and the 120 W charger tops our charging axis at 100 in our records, restoring the cell in well under half an hour. The brick-included refill was the phone's signature argument at launch and remains its clearest advantage today. Wireless charging is absent on this model.
Verdict
The 11T Pro is the fastest-charging phone of its generation still easy to recommend used, with a 120 Hz OLED and a 108-megapixel camera at about $330 used per our single tracked listing. The heat-limited platform, the closed software window and splash-only sealing are the reservations. For buyers prioritizing refill speed and screen over update runway, it remains distinctive, with the Xiaomi 12T as the newer T-series step.
