Xiaomi 11T Pro

This sub-flagship brings together some strong specification in a well-performing package with a lovely screen and super-fast charging to boast about too. There are some software irks, the build is chunky and, on reflection, we think the 'non-Pro' variant is an even better buy. That said, however, this 11T Pro is more than capable of giving prospective OnePlus 9 buyers something else to seriously consider.

The Xiaomi 11T Pro is pretty much the complete package. Despite a few stumbles along the way, most notably with regards to battery life and some inconsistent performance figures, Xiaomi’s newest flagship killer is still a force to be reckoned with. There’s more than enough here to keep Xiaomi firmly in the spotlight for at least a little while longer.

The Xiaomi 11T Pro comes at a very competitive price, with a camera array, chipset and charging speed that are impressive for a mid-range phone, and it would be easy to recommend if it wasn’t for a few minor issues. The device gets hot easily, is quite big, picks up fingerprints readily on the rear, has a few too many software bugs. It’s still a worthy addition to the Mi 11 lineup, though the standard 11T is more.

Xiaomi aimed high with the 11T Pro, but didn't quite reach its target. The phone has plenty going for it, such as a gorgeous display, top performance, and blazing fast charging, but the cameras are middling and there are several missing features that hurt its overall appeal. An admirable attempt at balancing price and quality, the 11T Pro tips slightly in the wrong direction when stacked against tough competition.
