As one of Xiaomi's smartphones released in 2021, the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G has garnered attention from many. One of the main concerns for users is whether the camera quality of Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G is good or not.
Let's delve in and find our answer.
1. Exploring the camera setup of Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G
Before diving deep into the camera quality of Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G, let's take a look at what Xiaomi has equipped its smartphone with.
The primary camera cluster on the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G comprises 3 lenses:
– Main Camera: Equipped with a Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor 108 MP 1/1.52″ (12MP output), f/1.75 aperture lens, AF,
– Ultra Wide Angle Camera: Featuring an 8 MP 1/2.8″ sensor, f/2.2 aperture lens
– Macro Camera: With a 5 MP 1/5″ sensor, f/2.4 aperture lens LED flash
The main camera is capable of recording 8k video at 30 frames per second, 4k at 60/30 frames per second, and 1080p at 60/30 frames per second, with HDR10+ support. Additionally, the Cinemagic feature is integrated into the Xiaomi 11T Pro, providing users with more impressive video recording and editing experiences.
Meanwhile, the front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor placed under the screen, serving as a useful tool for users to take selfies. So, how does the photo quality of this 2021 Xiaomi phone fare in reality? Let's explore the DXOMark review – a specialized website for smartphone camera reviews – for this Xiaomi 11T Pro.
2. DXOMark's Evaluation of Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G's Camera
For those who may not know, DXOMark is the world's number one renowned website for camera evaluations. Its ratings are always referenced by experts and manufacturers to assess camera quality.
The overall score DXOMark gave to the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G is 125 points, currently ranking 47th among smartphones available in the market. This is a fairly high score, though it's only good, not outstanding. In fact, compared to its predecessor, the Xiaomi 10T Pro, this smartphone falls behind.
The colors in photos taken by the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G tend to be closer to reality, but its ability to handle light and dark contrast areas is not particularly impressive, resulting in somewhat dull photos despite maintaining high detail.
The strength of the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G lies in its excellent handling of image structure, resulting in overall good quality, especially noticeable in ultra-wide shots which have seen significant improvements in structural detail compared to its predecessor. However, weaknesses in color processing and handling of light and dark areas lead to an overall mediocre assessment of photo quality.
Due to subpar processing of color gradients, images suffer from a certain level of noise. And despite being quite sharp, zoomed-in or cropped images don't maintain consistently good quality.
The selfie photos taken by the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G are stunning, with natural beautification capabilities that enhance the skin without looking artificial, making it an excellent tool for social media enthusiasts.
Regarding video recording capabilities, aside from the 8k video recording feature, the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G also offers decent stabilization. However, the stability isn't outstanding as you can still notice footsteps when filming handheld (without a gimbal).
However, recording videos in 8K resolution will consume a considerable amount of storage, so you should consider this aspect.
CONCLUSION
In the price range of 15 million VND, the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G's camera offers decent photo quality, but not exceptional. So, if you don't have extremely high demands for photo/video quality, the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G is still a pretty good choice.
Currently, the Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G is officially distributed in Vietnam with a price of 14,990,000 VND. Besides the camera, its design, display, and powerful performance will undoubtedly attract users.
