Xiaomi 11T Pro

The Xiaomi 11T Pro is powered by the original Snapdragon 888 chipset (not the plus) like the Mi 11 Pro. But this one has a smaller 6.67” flat display with 1080p+ resolution (20:9), compared to 6.81” 1440p+ curved display. It still has 120Hz refresh rate 480Hz touch sampling rate and HDR10+ support, though peak brightness is now 1,000 nits (down from 1,500 nits).

Xiaomi 11T

The Xiaomi 11T is very similar to its Pro sibling, it has the same 6.67” 120Hz AMOLED display and seemingly identical 108MP+8MP+5MP rear camera. Where it differs is the chipset – it switches to the Dimensity 1200-Ultra, a custom 6nm chipset. As you may remember, the Mi 11 was the first phone with Snapdragon 888, so the 1200-Ultra has big shoes to fill.

With ANC turned on, the company claims you can get four-and-a-half hours of playtime from the Motif ANC earbuds on a single charge, and an additional 20 hours of battery life from the included charging case.
