Xiaomi Mi 11i CAMERA tour + unboxing: Different yet exactly the same? By Isa does tech

Another phone from the me11 family we're checking out the 11 I am good day you beautiful people welcome to ISA. Does tech where we do tech in your life in style, and I know there are questions about today's phone. How is the 11i different from the 11. ? How many me 11 phones? Are there a lot? And, finally, what even is the big deal about the 11i, those questions and all about this phone coming up, but first we unbox the me11, I up top 108 megapixel camera, some me branding at the bottom 5g, because, yes, this is a 5g enabled device on the side me11 with easy access to the Google apps. You use most same on the other side. Let's open it up.

Show me. This leave has sim tool USB type c to 3.5 headphone jack nice. We have the warranty card, quick, start guide and safety information guide, also a jelly case. All right. We have the phone, but let's see what else is in this box.

That's a power, brick USB charging cable. What else do we have here? Okay, there is nothing else. Now, let's move on to the phone, so the mi 11i has a 108 megapixel ultra-high resolution, cam with clear audio and a triple MacRae 120 hertz 6.67 inch AMOLED display powered by a Qualcomm snapdragon 888 with 5g, of course, and it's a slim and stylish phone with 4520 William hour battery, oh shiny. That sort of reminds me of how the Redmi Note 10 pro and the photo f3 looks sleek black pack. I mean it's really reflective to.

It looks good, but it probably yeah, as you can see, it does much at the bottom, Xiaomi and 5g branding and then on the side, volume rocker power button. I'm thinking this is a fingerprint scanner at the bottom speakers, USB c port sim tray. So that takes two sim cards. Right side is clean and so is the top, except for I'm thinking those are speakers right. Let's power this up and, in the meantime a montage okay.

I know you guys have questions, because I did do when the me11i was announced. First off. Yes, it does look familiar. That's because it looks like the Poco f3 like exactly like it. It was amusing and even a little mind-blowing that's also because in China versions of these phones were launched, the Redmi k40 or the Poco f3 globally, and the Redmi k40 pro plus, or the 11i.

But even if they do look alike, the me11i is actually closer to the 11 line than the Poco f3 line. It has the same flagship processor and that's a 108 megapixel main camera on here, like on the 11. , though the mi 11i and the mi 11 doesn't have the same exact camera lineup. The main differences between these two phones, the mi 11i and the mi 11- would be the screens. The 11i features a flat Samsung, e4 AMOLED display and a side mounted fingerprint scanner versus the mi 11's curved display and in display fingerprint scanner and also the mi 11i packs, a 4520 my battery and 33 watt fast charging, while the mi 11 has slightly better battery specs at 4, 600 William hours and 55 watt fast charging, so that is more or less where the mi 11i stands in the mi 11 line and why it looks like the Poco f3 right onto the camera right here we go camera tour time.

That's fast fingerprint scanner and I just have to tell you real quickly. This is a very responsive phone. Haptics are perfect. Now, let's move on to the cameras, yes on photo. We have wide 1x, 2x and then 5x.

Why is my mirror? Always this dirty there's also 10x, and can we go now and then up here flash settings? You have HDR settings AI. There are different filters, beauty, filter and then up here you can change size timer. You have a movie frame mode. You have show grid super macro mode in here tilt shift and time. First, on the right, you have a portrait mode, and can you zoom in or out? No, you cannot.

You can change blur settings from an aperture of 1 to 16. On the sides. You have the different cinematic effects. We saw this on the me11 and at the bottom right you have a beauty mode and, of course, more filters up here. You have size, timer and even a movie frame mode on portrait under more, and this is going to be fun because this is, after all, the Xiaomi phone, and there are so many camera features on Xiaomi phones.

There is a night mode. You have wide 1x 2x up until ooh 10x night mode and then what's this oh night mode on selfie mode, interesting, that's pretty cool, and you even have the beauty filters. Wait. Is this a video? Yes, there is video for night mode. That is pretty cool.

You have a 108, megapixel mode. Of course the main camera is 108 megapixels, but it uses pixel binning to make better but smaller photos, though, if you want to shoot a 108 megapixel photo, meaning a bigger photo. You can do that via this mode. Yes, you can zoom up until 2x and then flash settings you have different filters. Then you have the short video mode now.

This is a fun mode that allows you to shoot short clips and then from here directly share to your social media. So if you sign in your social media, it'll show up here now. This is Xiaomi solution. To fact that social media isn't really optimized on android phones and the solution is to shoot with your native camera app and so what they did was they made this mode here. You can use wide one x, 2x up until 6x and have fun with it with slo-mo superfast mode.

You have different filters, beauty filters, a fun kaleidoscope mode, and then you can even add background music to it. This shoots in 720p or 1080p. You have panorama mode, a document, scanner always useful. You have the vlog mode, which is a Xiaomi favorite. This basically allows you to shoot, really easy, template vlogs cinematic ones as well.

You have a slow motion mode and this shoots 720p or 1080p 120 fps up until 960 fps. You have a dual video mode. This is a fun thing for social media, so you can switch that around and even switch it around like this, or you can zoom in and out like that. Then you have the movie effects. You have magic zoom.

Now this is pretty cool. I did try this on my me 11 social media tests, so you can check that out. There are other different cinematic things on here as well. You have long exposure, pretty cool photo effects and it sort of teaches you how to shoot these photos too, and you have clone mode which is a favorite feature of mine on Xiaomi phones. Now, on the other side of the fence, you have video, so you have wide 1x, oops 2x, 5x 6x, and that is as far as that will go.

There is also a flash HDR settings. You have different movie filters like this color focus and other fun stuff. You have a beauty mode and that's live for video and a both mode as well on this phone. Furthermore, you can do whoa up until 8k video, that's pretty cool and there's also 4k 60, fps, 1080p and 720p. Furthermore, you also get a movie frame mode on video, a super macro mode track, moving objects, mode, AI cameras and an audio zoom.

This is pretty cool for people who shoot vlogs or video or their phone, and then you also have a pro mode, all the different settings, and you can use the different lenses on the camera on this mode plus. You can also do pro mode on video, and it's the same thing. You can use the different lenses. This is a definite plus for people who want to make content on their phones, but sort of use. It is like more of a pro camera now it's time for some selfie stuff.

So there is no selfie on pro mode, but on video hey, so you have HDR up here. You have your different filters. You have your beauty mode. Furthermore, you have a live, both mode that you can also adjust. Furthermore, you see how fast that thing focuses on my face when I turn around yeah and then up here you have 1080p 60fps, a movie frame mode on selfie and a toggle for frontal sound recording, which is pretty cool because, for example, if I'm shooting this video right now, you can set it to just record the sound from the front of the phone on photo mode.

Can you zoom in or out? No, you cannot. There is a very detailed beauty mode, flash HDR, AI and palm shutter, of course, and then on portrait mode you can adjust the both. You have your different cinematic effects. You have your beauty mode. Furthermore, you have your different filters and up top flash AI settings same settings, and then you have more, which we already went through time for some sample shots and that's it for today's video.
