Xiaomi Mi 11 Honest Review - 5 Things You MUST Know Before Buying!

[@LimReviews]

Hi all, to answer everyone who's asking about Google Play Services, I installed the Google Play Store in less than one minute. Step 1: Go into the Xiaomi GetApps (pre-installed App Store) Step 2: Search "Google Play Store" Step 3: Click "Update" Voila! Google Play Store is now installed on your Mi 11. Super simple. Hope that helps!

[@hassanelzacharyamaludin1053]

That really helps. Was a bit worried if the China rom mi11 really get GMS banned.

[@LimReviews]

@@hassanelzacharyamaludin1053 I'm not sure about the long run but at the moment this is what I'm looking at. Don't quote me on this 😅

[@affahiyah6750]

@@LimReviews will china rom get GMS ban ?

[@ZenithFeng]

flash the rom to global, since xiaomi allow to do this on their official website.

[@IceExplorer548]

@@LimReviews any idea when Mi11 pro /Ultra are gonna be launched? I guess heating issue will be surely fixed in them with help Of additional heat sinks

[@MrWozOSRS]

The Mi 11 charger is a 55W and charges from 0 to 100 in 45mins. All phones overheat if you play games for a while. But if you are using youtube. Facebook etc it's perfectly fine. The display is awesome super smooth. Camera is amazing with great features. Overall a great phone. I got this instead of the S21

[@anandafitriananshary3312]

Even rog phone is overheat if you play genshin on highest level

[@isaac.izyang]

THis is what we want , honest reviews from KZbinrs, not simply said all very good things . Good Job bro

[@LimReviews]

Thanks Isaac. That's the whole goal of this channel - to tell what's true without blindly looking at benchmark scores.

[@kamilproaktif]

Yeah u right. Most reviewers simply said all good.

[@Zulu08]

Hi lim, it's a great video bro really appreciate your honest review. I am an average user with mainly daily usage of emails, Utube, few other social media consumption. I also do lots of video calling on WhatsApp, zoom etc. I don't play games. Will the mi 11 heat up for these applications? Sincerely appreciate your advise since I am planning to buy the mi 11 soon.

[@hiyukelavie2396]

Yes, agreed. Reviews that keep saying the phone is good aren't very helpful

[@RoberttSmithh]

i hope you're gonna be one of the top reviewers soon. High quality content and straight to the point. Wanted to get this phone but the mi 11 isn't available in usa haiyaaaaaa

[@apoorvadr]

Somehow I love the display every time I see it on various KZbin reviews

[@teerachprasertsilp9780]

It's amazing irl

[@javrich]

I bought this phone specifically to play Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd. It is waaaaaaay better than my Exynos 2100 Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. It does get hot, but so did the Samsung phone. I did find a way to "throttle" the performance so that the phone doesn't heat up as much. With game booster there's an option that says "Performance Optimization" that will throttle down the performance slightly and the phone won't overheat. At least for me that worked like a charm and I can now play for more than 2 hours without issues :D I love this phone and I'm glad I ditched the Exynos Galaxy S21 Ultra for this SD888 phone :D Great review I did like it a lot! I hope you get more views and subs! :D

[@Dullification]

Thank you! I couldn't decide if I'm gonna buy mi 11, but I will now. I'll avoid the mi 12 (for now) because reviewers say SD8G1 throttles a lot. But if you do have other phones that I should buy instead, let me know kind sir and have a nice day.

[@dicksonthan]

thanks for the honest review...can't wait to experience this phone myself

[@zenith017]

for global version, they do include charger. the camera sensor is surprisingly good. the phone also pack with amazing extra features. My fav so far is the camera "vlog" features

[@joshuapereira2746]

Can't decide between this or the S21/+ (Exynos 2100). I've used a number of different android phones but fell in love with Samsung since using the s9+ and note 10+. I've gotten so used to the ui and the ecosystem, but I'm actually finding it hard to choose between being safe with Samsung or trying out Xiaomi for the next few years, it's interesting and appealing but I've heard how bad their updates are and security might be an issue, also xiaomi being on the Blacklist may turn bad with regards to Google soon.

[@Raven-uu7lb]

I've pre-ordered the Mi 11 and yes I was told by Xiaomi staff that it is equipped with 55W GaN charger. Can't wait to it my hands on it this month!!

[@philclark7346]

The battery is really bad, but the screen and camera unbelievable.

[@DariuszTech]

Thanks for your thoughts about mi 11. So far it's my favourite smartphone to use because it's amazing display. You are right about the camera. I'm going to test is and compare with mi note 10t pro and see which one is better.

[@LimReviews]

Looking forward to your feedback on the comparison. I let go my Mi 10T Pro just before I bought the Mi11 so I can't really compare, but looking at my previous shots from the Mi 10T Pro they both look quite similar.

[@ervins6611]

Is your Mi 11 on MIUI 12 or 12.5?? If yours on 12.5, how is your experience with it so far??

I have been using Samsung for the past 15 years, never see myself using another device. Seeing the Mi 11 I like it right away. Getting mine on Tuesday. Can't wait.

[@onyekadavid]

So would you say it was a good choice?

[@chinsengfatt]

In my opinion as a daily user of social media, as long as the apps doesn't face app reloading, able to quick start where we left it, that's consider high performance for a normal user like me.

[@kennyc2281]

Im confused about getting between s21 and mi11. I really like samsung one ui and the 6.2 smaller screen, but some reviewer said that the exynos 2100 is still far from the 888. While the mi11 give you a qhd display, amazing speaker, and faster charger. What do you think Lim? Need a little bit help

Hi Lim..confused between Mi 11 and 1+9pro .Wat u suggest??

I like that when you review a phone you include games especially Genshin Impact. When I buy a new phone. This is my number 1 concern so I really appreciate you including the effect of the phone when using the GI app.

[@klubstompers]

As far as charging. Were you using a cable that could handle the full 30 watts? It is not just the brick that matters, but also the cable.

The camera sensors are same on Samsung s21...

[@syafiqdragneel5474]

Hello...mi11 n mi11 pro which one i should buy?

[@davorbuklijas1777]

Mi11 uses 1440p resolution, while S21 is only 1080p, so that should be the main reason for less smoothness even though both are 120Hz..more pixels to deal with = slower graphics.

[@thisisme6867]

Bro, can you tell us how is the video watching experience on Mi 11 phone as it has curved display. Do you find any issue on curved display over flat display? Plz reply. Thanks for the video

[@alvinsilvester4558]

How's the battery life and screen time on this device? Because that can be a painful issue considering loads of features turned on.

[@supersweet69]

Is there an app to cap the heat by lowering performance to accommodate

[@ngangsy3265]

May I know what is the specs you used for this phone? 8gb or 12gb ram?

[@karloivanne]

Does the setting on refresh rate on the Mi 11 gives you the option to stay at 120? Since for what I remember it has like "adoptive" refresh rate saying that it'll be depending on the app or things like watching videos, scrolling, playing games. And for Samsung I can't remember them having like the "adoptive" thing from Xiaomi, so maybe that's explains why the Samsung is a bit smoother since when you put it on 120 then it stays at 120 all the time. 🤔 Not really sure if that's make sense haha. I hope it did.

[@Janice12223]

which should i get mi10t or this?

[@miraleelin407]

There are a few reviews about the sensitivity of the finger print scanner, would you be able to comment on that?

[@GSP-76]

I just ordered the global version of this phone...thank you for an honest review. The Snap Dragon 888 is generally a hot SOC and unless the phone has active cooling, it will get hot when stressed. I don't play games or do mobile benchmarking so I'm not worried about that. XIaomi stopped giving chargers because the new phones support PD GAN charging...you can pick up a 65 watt charger for very cheap.

[@pher-7664]

Is it still worth it to get this phone over the 11T pro?

Hi, Great review! I have 1 question regarding the heat. It could be our concern for taking long video? I'm afraid it's too hot and automatically turn off the camera itself. Thanks!

Hey, so far I have not experienced that issue. I even did a vlog on the Mi11 - you can find it on my channel. But if your "long video" refers to few hours of video, then I do not know. Cheers!

For me the camera is the one thing that holds me back a little. From watching many reviews it seems a bit weaker than other phones of the same price e.g. Oppo reno 5pro+, Honor 30pro and Vivo x60pro for example. Still, the screen and chip is stronger than the aforementioned phones so depends on priorities
