Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, 'New Edition' (presumably), which boosts the performance and slims down the design vs the original 5G. This hands-on review covers the camera tech, tests the gaming chops and explores the specs of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE model. Stay tuned for an in-depth analysis, the UK release date is October, no word on price yet.

At under 7mm thick, this is one of the most slender smartphones of 2021. You get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778G chipset running the show, as seen in Samsung's Galaxy A52s 5G and the Moto Edge 20. Gamers will appreciate the extra power, although I did see some juddery performance in Genshin Impact. PubG etc should run fine, though.

Xiaomi's MiUI 12 is on board the 11 Lite 5G NE as usual, adding a handful of bonus features to Android - but you also get plenty of crapware and no guarantee of OS and security updates well into the future. Meanwhile the 64MP primary camera sensor seems respectable, although struggles with kittens and kids in ambient environments.

Nice to see the side mounted fingerprint sensors sticking around. Way more reliable and faster than the under the screen ones in my experience.

Once again, another well designed phone from Xiaomi, this phone is perfect for those concerned with weight and sleek design.

Really need you to do a video explaining and comparing all the different Xiaomi 11/Mi 11 models. many

The only thing that holds me back from getting a Xiaomi again is MIUI. I use an AOSP rom in my current Xiaomi device. Really wish this phone came with a stock android rom.

Great unboxing video...very detailed! I remember back in the day however unboxing stuff used to be fun...it was like opening a Christmas gift. Is it just me or are companies getting either lazy or uncreative in their presentation? Great video though :)

[niksvp]

Man, everything aside, your sense of humour is absolutely fantastic. Love your reviews though! <3

Really shouldn't have had a mouthful of tea when Chris first proposed what NE may have stood for... 😂 - shame I only got as far as the point where he produced the USB-3.5mm adapter.

[Wellibob]

Hmmm. Price is key here me thinks Christopher. Be safe man.

[mahmoud]

does it have physical proximity sensor or virtual ? please discuss this because xiaomi removed that sensor from their phones

[marc]

Please tell us where you find those wallpapers

[bladevr]

Compare realme GT master edition VS xiaomi 11 lite 5G, same cpu specs. I have the gt master edition and have to say its a beast, free of lag and bugs

4:40 - 4:50 that's an interesting way to describe natural colors on a phone's screen.

I couldn't find this one from our local store and my brother got me this full in retail box from My World Phone.

Sir Baldy of Twatershire, I've been an avid viewer of your reviews, (followed your advice twice on Nokia 7 Plus, and my Moto G9 Plus).. Could I ask you, when you play the Film/TV Program demos on the screen of whichever device you're reviewing, could you just add the Title for said Film/TV, as you've shown some vids that I've thought to check out, but most of the time, can't find them 🤔😏. Cheers dude! 😎

[Nofu-ey]

I would love to know where you get your wallpapers. Love the video btw.

[gamerdudegamerdude]

Can you a do a segment of Mid-Flagship phones with both 3.5mm jack & sd-slot.

[usmanabdulkadir]

Great unboxing and hands on review as always bro

[selestinusokoth]

[galactose_fructosemonosacc]

Um my mi 11 lite 5g ne has a indented fingerprint/powerbutton mount on the side, are there any models that have that?
