Xiaomi constantly launches. The same family has several models and variants, which often rival other mobiles from the company itself. It is curious to see where, technically speaking, one of the best Xiaomi phones of 2019, such as a Mi 9T Pro, can be, compared to a whole Mi 11.
Some claim that it is every two generations when the generational change of smartphone is really worth it. However, let’s see if that adjusts to reality. If so, the Mi 11 should technically be almost light years away from a 2019 terminal like the Mi 9T Pro.
Screen, weight and thickness
The first thing that strikes us is the size of the screen. The Mi 11 has a much larger screen, with its 6.81 inches, with AMOLED technology and a resolution of 1400 x 3200 pixels. The surprising thing is that Xiaomi has achieved a 91.4% screen-to-frame ratio, one of the highest in the industry. The Mi 9T Pro has a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, and a screen / frame ratio of 86.1%. It is minor, but the truth is that only the Mi 9T Pro offers a full screen experience thanks to its pop-up front camera.
The Mi 11 offers a more panoramic aspect ratio with its 20: 9 compared to the 19.5: 9 of the Mi 9T Pro. The passage of time favors the Mi 11, which has an on-screen refresh rate of 120 Hz, compared to the 60Hz standard rate from its veteran brother. Both are protected by Gorilla Glass, but the Mi 11 sports the more advanced Victus glass, compared to the Gorilla Glass 5 of the Mi 9 T Pro.
If we take into account the thickness and weight, the Mi 11 comes out gracefully with its 8.1 mm compared to the 8.8mm of the Mi 9T Pro. However, the lower weight is on the side of the Mi 9T Pro with its 191 grams, compared to the 196 grams of the Mi 11. It is not really worthwhile, since the Mi 11 has more screen and a larger battery, as we will see later.
There is no color in the processor
It is interesting to see where the Mi 9T Pro is in terms of processor and memory, compared to the Mi 11. The newest from Xiaomi boasts the Snapdragon 888, a 5nm processor that comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal memory. For its part, the Mi 9T Pro sports the Snapdragon 855, the most powerful processor of 2019 manufactured in 7 nm and accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. Neither of them can expand this memory using microSD cards.
If we want to see these differences more clearly on paper, we will have to take a look at the results of both terminals in a performance program such as AnTuTu. The Mi 11 has reached 710,000 points, while the Mi 9T Pro, reaches 438.00 points. This means that the differences are abysmal , but the two can perform at the highest level with any task or game no matter how demanding it may be.
Now they take the 108 megapixels
In the cameras section, time has also passed, but the truth is that the Mi 9T Pro maintains what is an advantage for some users . The Mi 11 has a 108-megapixel main sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. The Mi 9T Pro, for its part, sports a 48-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor.
At this point, it is worth highlighting the advantage we mentioned, since the Mi 9T Pro has a 2x optical zoom , something that the Mi 11 lacks. However, having a 108 megapixel main sensor allows it to achieve a zoom of up to 30x by cropping.
On the front, the Mi 11 has a 20 megapixel sensor, just like the Mi 9T Pro. The big difference is that the first is housed in a hole in the screen, while the second appears thanks to a pop-up mechanism. emergent.
If we take video recording into account, the Xiaomi Mi 11 can already capture video in 8K resolution, at 24 or 30 fps. The Mi 9T Pro does this at a maximum of 4K at 30 or 60 fps. Another advantage of the Mi 9T Pro is in slow motion recording, which can be done in FullHD at 960 fps, achieving more spectacular results than the maximum of 240 fps
Connections and battery
The passage of time has also caused 5G connectivity to be practically a standard in the mid-range of 2021. Therefore, as a high-end that it is, the Mi 11 could not help but have this particularity, which is precisely lacking in the Mi 9T Pro. Both have attributes such as NFC or fingerprint sensor on the screen, but the Mi 11 has Bluetooth 5.2 compared to its brother’s Bluetooth 5.0.
As for the battery, the Mi 11 reaches 4,600 mAh with a fast charge of 55W and with other technologies such as wireless charging and 10W reverse charging. For its part, the Mi 9T Pro has a 4,000 mAh battery, with a fast charge of 27W.
And the prices?
Like any mobile that is launched on the market, if we want it we will have to pay for it at its official price. This means that the Mi 11 can be ours for about 750 euros in a portal like Amazon, in its 128 GB version. For its part, the Mi 9T Pro is no longer available on Amazon, at least at the time of writing this comparison. Xiaomi has not bothered much about lowering its price either, since we can buy it officially for 399 euros in the 64 GB version and for 349 euros in the 128 GB variant.
