  • Screen HDR10 Amoled has an insane 2600 nits!
  • The screen is FLAT (Thank you Xiaome) ๐Ÿ‘
  • Cameras are amazing (Video slowmotion at 720p 960fps) ๐Ÿ˜‹
  • IP68 dust/water resistant
  • 120 Watt Charger
  • Mediatek Dimensity 9200+ (Claimed to beat Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)
  • 4 generations up to Android 17 Android upgrades and 5 year security support

Obviously It has all the expected sensors and features.

The corners that were cut to get the price down are pretty few IMO:

  • Gorilla Glass 5 instead of Victus.
  • Plastic instead of Alu edge.
  • No Wireless charging

Here (Denmark) the Xiaome 13T Pro is cheaper than One Plus 11, and it beats it in every aspect. It's almost (but not quite) as good as the Samsung S23 Ultra. To me this seems by far the best option in the price range.

The non pro is $100 cheaper, and you get a slightly less powerful SOC, 67 Watt charger instead of 120, less RAM/Storage, although there are ranges for both.

Edit PS 09. Oct. 2023

Just ordered the pro version with 12 GB Ram and 512 MB storage for โ‚ฌ 669,- including tax or USD 565,- excluding tax.

I was waiting for our Solar panels to go online, and that was finally finished today.

I originally planned to buy the One Plus 11, but the curved screen and opposing power/volume buttons turned me away from that.

I'm extremely excited as my current phone is a very cheap older budget phone (Moto G9 power). It has served me surprisingly well, considering it was sub $200 including tax.

IDK about the software, I know there is bloatware, but it should be possible to uninstall. The new MIUI 14 should be pretty good reviewers say.

The camera is absolutely amazing, no doubt about that. Just look it up on YouTube. Absolutely amazing night shots, and very good tele and macro too, although not as good as Samsung S23 Ultra.

I found this comparison very good, although I don't agree with the conclusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY01sKTnJPA&t=32s

I was able to remove some of the bloat using the Universal Android Debloater. If you do the same, remove a few things at a time and test in between. Removing the Xiaomi phone app stopped my dialler from putting the overlay on top of everything else.

The Mi 10t Lite camera looked great in reviews too. Like most reviews, the photos were taken under ideal conditions. It's very rare to see real world photos, like trying to get a photo of a kid or a pet running around in poor lighting.
