In the last two days of last year, Xiaomi released a new generation of flagship models-Xiaomi 11. To tell you the truth, I was full of expectations for this mobile phone at that time. After all, I was a rice noodle. Xiaomi 1Pro just took a year, and I was very accustomed to the MIUI system. I also wanted to upgrade it, so I was in a good mood when I got Xiaomi 11.
Slim and stylish appearance
As Lei Jun said in the release, Xiaomi 11 really did it. First of all, it can be seen from the packaging that it is only about half the thickness of the ordinary mobile phone packaging box, because the standard version is no longer equipped with a charging head and a data cable. This is inevitably reminiscent of the iPhone 12 released by Apple. Although it is suspected of following the trend, it is also a start for domestic mobile phones in terms of environmental protection. As for good or bad, I won't comment. The market has its own judgment.
Xiaomi 11 has also launched a set version, equipped with a 55W Xiaomi GaN charger worth 99 yuan, and now the standard version and the set version are sold at the same price, which makes people a little puzzled. According to Lei Jun, it means "if the price of the charger version is higher, it will be scolded by users." Well, this gallium nitride charger has indeed improved in environmental protection, but the power of 55W is not large. You should know that Xiaomi 1 Pro is equipped with 65W fast charge, and Xiaomi 1 Extreme Commemorative Edition is equipped with 12W fast charge. If the power of this charger is higher, it will be better. Its model is MDY-12-EQ, with a maximum output of 2V 2.5A, which can charge the notebook.
There are three versions of Xiaomi 11 * * * this time, namely the plain leather version, the Lei Jun signature version and the AG glass version. This one I got was a smoky purple plain leather version. Compared with the other two versions, this plain leather version surprised me the most. First of all, the workmanship of Xiaomi mobile phone is getting better and better, and the details such as the edge of the frame and the seams between various parts are getting more and more refined; Secondly, the body made of smoky purple leather grain looks very advanced, and the leather grain is very fine and comfortable to touch. Compared with the glass or metal body of most mobile phones, Xiaomi 11 plain leather version is not only non-slip but also avoids fingerprints. This design makes me like it very much.
when I got Xiaomi 11, my first impression was that it was lighter and thinner, and my hand feeling was greatly improved. The plain leather version weighed 194g and its thickness was 8.56mm On Xiaomi 11, which was heavily stacked, this level was already excellent. The treatment of curved waistline not only further enhances the hand feel, but also makes Xiaomi 11 look thinner in visual effect, and the grip with one hand is quite outstanding. The smooth middle frame made of metal improves the texture of the whole mobile phone, and the button area is extended to the back cover, which looks more harmonious and slightly "malicious".
Xiaomi 11' s screen is one of its highlights. It adopts a 6.81-inch four-curved full-screen with a resolution of 32 144 and pixels per inch's 515PPi. The 2K resolution brings more detailed screen display effect. Moreover, the screen of Xiaomi 11 adopts the latest E4 luminescent material, with a peak brightness of 15nit and a brightness of 9nit under strong light, which has higher brightness and lower power consumption than the common E3 luminescent material at present.
the rear camera of Xiaomi 11 adopts AI three shots, including a 1-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel super wide-angle lens and a 5-megapixel telephoto macro lens. It can be seen that Xiaomi is trying to make its own products exquisite. As can be seen from many details of Xiaomi 11, the camera is one of them. This time, the rear camera of Xiaomi 11 adopts integrated glass CNC processing. Although the camera is protruding, the protruding lens is integrated with the whole camera module, which can improve the beauty of the fuselage and avoid the camera from entering dust. It is a very useful detail optimization. The protruding degree of Xiaomi 11' s main camera is still within the acceptable range, but the plastic protective case sent by the original factory still can't be higher than the main camera, and the camera will still grind to the desktop if it is worn. If you are used to using protective cases, it is recommended to buy a third-party case that can wrap the camera.
The front camera adopts ultra-miniature design, with extremely small aperture. With the design of hidden earpiece and micro-slit sound outlet, the integrity of the full screen is guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the visual sense is better.
Since Xiaomi 1, including Xiaomi 1 Pro and Xiaomi 1 Extreme Commemorative Edition, the design of dual speakers has been adopted, and Xiaomi 11 is no exception. Super linear speakers have been adopted at the bottom of the fuselage. This time, Harman Kardon made professional tuning, which further improved the sound quality of Xiaomi 11. Harman/kardon logo on the top of the fuselage is particularly eye-catching. Xiaomi 11 has built-in intelligent scene recognition function, which can match the corresponding acoustic curves according to different scenes and different sound sources, thus showing the best sound tuning. Whether listening to music, watching movies or playing games, the external playback effect is excellent.
The blessing of super performance
Xiaomi 11 adopts the world's first flagship platform of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G, which is a secret known to the whole network. The Kryo 68 CPU equipped on Snapdragon 888 adopts the 8-core design of 1+3+4. One super core is Arm Cortex X1, and its main frequency reaches 2.84GHz. Kryo68 is also the first commercial CPU subsystem based on Arm Cortex X1. The other three large cores are A78 core, clocked at 2.4GHz, and the four small cores are A55 core, clocked at 1.8GHz. Compared with the previous generation, the overall performance of Kryo 68 CPU is improved by 25%, and the power consumption is reduced by 25%.
in terms of GPU, Snapdragon 888 mobile platform is equipped with Adreno 65 GPU, which improves the graphics rendering speed by 35% and reduces the power consumption by 2% compared with the previous generation. Qualcomm said that the Adreno 65 GPU has achieved the most significant performance improvement to date. Snapdragon 888 mobile platform has also been greatly improved in AI, adopting the sixth generation Qualcomm AI engine and built-in Hexagon 789 fusion AI accelerator. Compared with Snapdragon 865, it can perform 15 trillion operations per second, and Snapdragon 888 has reached an astonishing 26 trillion operations per second.
Xiaomi 11 uses the full blood version of LPDDR5 memory, the main frequency is increased to 32MHz, and the data transmission rate is increased from 55Mbps to 64Mbps, which is the highest speed mobile phone memory specification at present. In terms of flash charging, Xiaomi 11 uses UFS 3.1 flash memory, which makes reading and writing data faster.
in order to show the performance of Xiaomi 11 more intuitively, I used Ann Bunny v8.5.2 to test the running score. It can be seen that the high score of over 7, is enough to prove that Xiaomi 11 is the most powerful mobile phone at present. I am very satisfied with this high score, and I believe most friends will praise this score. However, we must also see that the praise is only 74%. Compared with the 95% praise of Xiaomi 1 Pro, Xiaomi 11 did not meet the expectations of some friends.
in terms of AI computing power, Snapdragon 888 mobile platform has also greatly improved in AI, adopting the sixth generation Qualcomm AI engine and built-in Hexagon 789 fusion AI accelerator. Compared with Snapdragon 865, it can perform 15 trillion operations per second, and Snapdragon 888 has reached an astonishing 26 trillion operations per second. This is the score after evaluation with Ann Bunny AI, and the performance of more than 92, can only be described as excellent.
in terms of network, Xiaomi 11 supports the more advanced Wi-Fi6 enhanced version at present, which upgrades the bandwidth to 16MHz, which is faster. At the same time, the coding is also upgraded from 124QAM to 496QAM, and the unit information density is higher, which can also bring about a 2% speed increase. The ultimate throughput rate of Xiaomi 11 reaches 3.5Gbps.
under the same network environment, the download rate of Xiaomi 11 in the ordinary Wi-Fi network is 568.79Mbps, and the upload rate is 91.89Mbps, while the download rate of Xiaomi 1 Pro is 331.49Mbps, and the upload rate is 95.26Mbps, which obviously improves the download rate. It should be noted that in order to give full play to the advantages of Xiaomi 11 network, it is necessary to match the router supporting Wi-Fi6 enhanced version, such as Xiaomi router AX6.
at the same time, Xiaomi 11 supports Wi-Fi full-scene roaming. In a multi-router environment, it can automatically switch between different routers without router Mesh networking, which can avoid the situation of being stuck or dropped when switching routes. At the same time, Xiaomi 11 can also achieve seamless switching between indoor and outdoor, avoiding the disconnection problem caused by network switching.
The strongest 2K screen at present
The biggest highlight of Xiaomi 11 is not the processor, but its screen. Lei Jun said at the press conference that this is not only the top screen in the history of Xiaomi mobile phone, but also the most expensive screen in the mobile phone industry. Lei Jun said this sentence with confidence, because the screen of Xiaomi 11 was awarded the A+ rating by DisplayMate, a professional display evaluation agency, and 13 best records such as the highest screen resolution, the highest OLED peak brightness, the highest color accuracy, the highest contrast and the lowest screen reflectivity were refreshed. DisplayMate even gave "Xiaomi 11 has the world's top smartphone screen, and its textbook-like perfect calibration accuracy and display ability are extremely impressive. The highest evaluation.
Xiaomi 11 also has humanized design in display, which supports eye protection mode and flicker prevention mode. Eye protection mode can reduce the damage of blue light to eyes, and anti-flicker mode can reduce visual fatigue, which is necessary today because the dependence on mobile phones is increasing, because health is still the first, and eye damage is irreversible.
in addition, Xiaomi 11' s screen supports a refresh rate of 12Hz at the highest resolution, and the touch sampling rate reaches 48Hz, so it has excellent performance in vision and control, smoother screen display and more accurate touch, which can be said to be specially made for gamers. It is commendable that Xiaomi 11 can support 2K resolution, 12Hz high refresh rate and DC dimming at the same time, which makes me very happy.
in order to give full play to the advantages of Xiaomi 11 2K resolution, Xiaomi 11 has added a brand-new AI master image quality engine, which supports super-resolution display enhancement, AI intelligent scene optimization, video enhancement, dynamic picture compensation and other functions. Let me remind you that "Video Super-resolution Enhancement" and "Motion Picture Compensation" cannot be used at the same time. When either function is turned on, the other function will be automatically turned off because the two functions overlap.
Super-resolution display enhancement means AI enhancement processing for low-resolution pictures and videos, so as to improve the definition of pictures, and can realize the display of 72P pictures or videos with 144P definition. I watched this video screenshot at 72P. The super-resolution display enhancement function was not turned on on the left, but turned on on the right. It can be seen that the details of the face of the person will be clearer after the super-resolution display enhancement function is turned on.
in order to solve the problem of screen misoperation, Xiaomi 11 has two brand-new grip sensors built in to detect the grip state of the mobile phone. With sensors such as gyroscope, it can realize intelligent anti-misoperation judgment, perform anti-misoperation operation in the grip area of the palm, and maintain the normal interaction of the screen in the non-grip area.
In terms of fingerprints, Xiaomi 11 has also made some improvements. The same ultra-thin screen fingerprint, but the unlocking is smoother and faster, and the fingerprint supports the heart rate detection function. This function can be used in Xiaomi Health App, and the whole measurement process is about 15s.
Xiaomi 11' s screen is really powerful, but are you worried about the risk of broken screen again? Xiaomi has considered this for you. Xiaomi 11 adopts the brand-new and the toughest corning gorilla glass Victus at present, which has stronger anti-drop and scratch resistance, is not afraid of screen wear, and avoids the damage caused by accidental drop, so that Xiaomi 11 does not need to rely too much on the film and protective shell in daily use. Some netizens hit the screen of Xiaomi 11 with a hammer to test its hardness. The result is that the screen is intact. Of course, I won't test it like this. If this strength is not well mastered, there is still the risk of breaking the screen. After all, the screen is just a piece of glass, no matter how hard it is.
MIUI 12.5
The latest MIUI 12.5 version was also released at the launch conference of Xiaomi 11. Compared with MIUI 12, the MIUI 12.5 installed on Xiaomi 11 this time has been greatly improved. Based on the widely acclaimed privacy protection functions on MIUI 12, it adds four functions: clipboard privacy protection, privacy isolation sandbox, browser privacy protection and application ecological privacy protection, and defends user data rights with the strictest privacy standards in the world, even surpassing the world-leading iOS in some aspects. The newly unveiled MIUI+ has attracted most people's attention. The first cross-border product MIUI+ can realize seamless cooperation between mobile phones and computers (Windows system), making business office more efficient and convenient.
personally, I'm looking forward to MIUI 12.5, especially the seamless connection with PC. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 11 system I got now is still 12..12, and I haven't received the upgrade information. I can only wait patiently. After the upgrade, I will share a detailed evaluation of MIUI 12.5.
moderate battery life
the battery capacity of Xiaomi 11 is 46mAh, which is not outstanding compared with 478mAh of Xiaomi 1, 45mAh of Xiaomi 1 Pro and Xiaomi 1 Extreme Commemorative Edition. This may also be because the body of Xiaomi 11 is thinner, and only part of the battery capacity can be sacrificed. According to my daily habit of using my mobile phone, the power consumption is 1% when I get up in the morning. I brush my circle of friends on the way to work, watch the news, occasionally listen to music, play games at noon, use WeChat after work and watch short videos. I seldom use my mobile phone during working hours. In this state of use, by 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the power consumption of my mobile phone is about 15%-3%. If I turn it on,
