Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge 5G: Incredibly Fast Recharging
In India, Xiaomi followed up the Xiaomi 10i with the Xiaomi 11i line of mid-range 5G smartphones in January last year. During the previous year, they were introduced in China under the names Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro+. Compared to the Xiaomi 10i, this offers a number of improvements, including a 120Hz AMOLED display, a speedier CPU, and the introduction of 120W fast charging in India through the 11i Hypercharge. Do you think this phone’s Rs. 26,999 price tag is fair? To discover, let’s read the review.
Design
The phone’s 76.19-millimeter width makes it comfortable to handle despite its massive display. While both the 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G measure 8.34 mm in thickness, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge’s 4500 mAh battery allows it to weigh just 204 grams. The 11i, however, has a 5,160 mAh battery and adds an extra 3 grams to its weight. The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge’s 120W fast charging components are the primary cause of its heft.
Located on the top bezel of the screen, the earpiece also functions as a second speaker. The phone also contains a gyroscope and a magnetometer in addition to the standard proximity and ambient light sensors. To keep things nice and tiny, Xiaomi claims it boasts super slim side bezels of only 1.76 millimeters.
Except for Jazz Blue, which has a glossy surface, the phone comes in anti-glare matte finishes in Purple Mist, Camo Green, Pacific Pearl, and Stealth Black. Although Xiaomi claims to employ strengthened glass, the device’s rear is not protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone also features IP53 ratings that you seldom find in other phones in the category.
Display
The display of the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with a 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 2.5D curved glass screen, and a pixel density of around 395 PPI. The screen’s brightness comes at 700 nits on average and 1200 nits in high brightness mode. The latter is activated when you view HDR material. In addition, it has extensive color gamut compatibility, including DCI-P3, so the colors are rich.
When turned on, the display’s 120Hz refresh rate and the touch system’s 360Hz sampling rate provide a fluid and responsive interface, particularly for gaming and interface scrolling. Without an adaptive refresh rate, this can only toggle between 90Hz and 120Hz. HDR 10+ is supported so that you can watch Netflix and YouTube in glorious high dynamic range. This phone has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for safety.
You may customize the colors and brightness of the screen to your liking under the display settings. Reading mode dims the screen to prevent eye strain while reading late; however, this feature is deactivated when you play HDR movies. Just like on previous MIUI phones, there’s a dark mode. Additionally, you may switch your installed applications to use a dark theme.
Camera
There are three cameras located on the rear of the Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge: a main 108MP camera with an f/1.9, a secondary 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a third 2MP macro camera. In addition, both 4K UHD and 1080p at up to 60FPS recording are possible with the back cameras.
The primary 108MP camera may provide the best images in terms of color accuracy and detail out of the three. In addition, the main sensor can produce sharp photos with realistic depth of field, varied textures, and high dynamic range when shooting during the day with enough light.
It can record films in 4k resolution at 30 fps, 1080p resolution at up to 60 fps, slow motion 1080p at up to 120 fps, and 720p resolution at up to 960fps (however, this should be 240 fps transformed into 960fps). The macro camera records in 720p while the ultra-wide camera records in 1080p.
Fingerprint Sensor
Even though the display is AMOLED, the fingerprint sensor is located on the phone’s right side, in the power button. To avoid clicking the power button, just holding your finger on it will unlock the phone. This one is far quicker and more convenient than the in-display fingerprint scanner. There’s room for up to five fingerprints.
Battery Life
The phone’s optimized MIUI 12 helps the phone’s 4500mAh (usual) built-in dual-cell battery endure for a day, even with intensive usage.
The included 120W charger makes this the first phone in India to handle rapid charging at that power level. To get to 100% in under 15 minutes, it employs graphene, a dual charge pump, Mi-FC technology, and MTW technology.
Software
The gadget comes preloaded with Android 11 with MIUI 12.5 Enhanced. Most recently, the Android security patch for December 2021 was installed. It is possible to remove several preinstalled applications in MIUI 12.5 Enhanced. The business has promised Android 12 and MIUI 13 upgrades in the near future, but no specific timetable has been provided. In addition to the standard options like the Gesture shortcut, one-handed mode, and Quick Ball, this also includes a slew of other useful extras.
Performance
In reality, the MediaTek Dimensity 920 6nm SoC is little more than an overclocked Dimensity 900, but this is one of the first handsets to use it. Two A78 processors are running at up to 2.5 GHz and six A55 processors running at up to 2 GHz. In addition, it features up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a Mali-G68 MC4 processor. Intense gaming and 4G data consumption cause it to warm up, but it never becomes uncomfortable to hold.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G, which begins at Rs. 26,999, is a worthy improvement over the Mi 10i, thanks to its 120Hz AMOLED display and 120W fast charging with included fast charger. The Dimensity 920 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) provides excellent overall performance and gaming prowess. However, while its ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras are both above-average for their price range, the phone’s hefty form factor makes it less desirable to use than alternative options.
If you’re looking for a phone with lightning-quick charging capabilities, you won’t go wrong with the 11i Hypercharge, whose single standout feature is its 120W fast charging.
