Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE Review | New-ish Edition

- Reviewing the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, a fresh 'New Edition' mid-range smartphone whose main change over the original is the chipset running the show. That camera tech, MiUI 12 software and other specs are mostly the same. But is the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE worth a punt vs the Poco F3, Samsung A52s 5G etc?
This phone will satisfy most users with its skinny design, Dolby Vision display, expandable storage and dependable camera tech. Performance is good enough for running any apps out there, although gamers are far better served by the Poco F3, Galaxy A52s 5G and other rivals.
Battery life is great, as the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE never once ran dry before bedtime even with intensive use. However, the audio chops are weak, as the stereo speaker setup disappoints and there's no headphone jack. Likewise, the camera isn't as strong as Samsung and Google's rivals.
Check out my round-ups of the best mid-range and 5G smartphones of 2021 for more ideas!

This phone is incredible for on-the-go. It easily slips in the font pant pocket and is barely noticeable. Being so light and thin makes it a great traveling device without sacrificing screen size. It's perfect for hiking, skiing etc. Brilliant design.
Facts. How they managed to stuff in so much battery yet keep the phone feather light and thin is unbelievable. Seems to be in a class by itself.
Thats exactly why i got it and still rocking it. 200+g brick is not fun to carry around. And plus it's a really capable phone, so they really nailed this one.
@@tommyboy71000yup, the Poco F4 is really a brick in the pocket.
The review is on top, I'm impressed.
Your wallpapers always make me smile.
Me too😄
Can't beat a bit of anime to brighten up your day 😁

Where do I go to pimp my phone with these awesome wallpapers, I'm using the mi 11
@@TechSpurt where we can find your wallpapers?
Been thinking about switching from my Huawei to this thanks for the review!!
I love your comments and cool Jordy accent, "sound is weaker than a ferrets fart" 😂😂😂 I was born in gloucestershire but I've lived in the United States for 32 years but I like to hear your comments they're hilarious and some sayings that I haven't heard for years, keep up the good work 🙂
Finally there's the review !
Thank you for reviewing mid range phones
Born of Osiris - Truth of Denial popping up... nice man!
Nice Hu Tao Wallpaper there! a man of culture indeed :D
Lol i love this kind of review and his humour is just too good and humane
Thanks for the review. You should mention the special unique features of Xiaomi. Not only the standard stuff…
I think not even people from Xiaomi know how many different phone models they make trough out the year
Xiaomi employee: takes a shit
Xiaomi: lets create a new model

Waiting for this video 🖤❤️🖤❤️
Love this review, just got one today with a free tab, 26 quid a month.
Headphone jack attachment.
I just need a good photo editor for it.
Love your stuff mate.
How do you find MIUI in comparison to other Android skins please?
Just ordered this bad-boy for the measley price of £289 including £80 worth of Redmi Buds 3 Pro, so chuffed to say I believe I've already snagged the bargain of 2022! 😉
And what do you think of it 1 month on
@@berhoom2024 Really pleased!

@@kanagawayarichin Looks like that's the slightly older version, still good; but not the NE (New Edition) version.
@@bentowers5540 im thinking to buy one next week , does it heat up so fast ? im not into games so my usage will be mostly for camera an browsing
I got to tell you you hit the nail on the head when I was looking at that phone was thinking about getting it then I took a second look and said it kind of looks like some outdated kitchen counter tops so my second thought ruled and I passed... Was funny I was thinking that same thing when you were doing the review and you said it.
cheeky little Born of Osiris cameo there, nice
Love the jotaro wallpaper
That Army of Darkness T shirt is dope!🤘

Nice video always ♥️
Idk man, that camera looks very impressive to me. I actually think it's much better than the A52s but i guess tastes differ. Detailed, sharp images and recording seems better than what you'd normally expect on a lower tier mid ranger. The colors pop too but never look exaggerated. Very good phone and apart from that missing headphone jack, it's hard to come up with any weaknesses.
Im confuse too
Dxomark show that mi 11 scor etter than a52s
Dxomark are fake...even two biggest tech youtuber also said that(mkbhd and mrwhosettheboss)...
Man we need more phones like this light and compact just like apple with the iphone 12/13 mini im really thinking on buying this phone i was gonna buy xiaomi 11t but really like this one better
Just bought this phone because if your reviews and I am loving it so far ❤️ the 256gb seems smoother for genshin than the one you've shown though.
How is it for you actually? i just bought it on amazon but im anxious ahah
I have the xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g and I have to say it's miles better than my old redmi note 8t great camera, so much quicker and better processer, great value and great specs and Ive had it since January and hasn't missed a beat. What a great all rounder.
I got one recently. All good except 5g connectivity. I keep it on 3g for best call signal
A52 5g makes your crappy 11 lite 5g ne and redmi note 8t belong to trash..ops sorry if that too rough
@@danialputra9298 i got a refurbished S21 5g yesterday, to see what all the fuss is. The mi 11 lite has more features and better speakers for half the price - I sent the S21 back today, and now I don't expect to be impressed by the A52.
For me the pros of the Mi 11 lite over A52 are: lightweight and free & ad-free Mi Music (like free subscription to YT music).
Where do u get your wallpapers?
how is the volume when you use the usb-c to jack adapter and a normal headphone? cant it go loud?
for example my samsung has a jack port, and the jack port has the proper volume, the usb-c+adapter does not. im concerned because Xiaomi has only a usb-c port.
You've joined the ranks of tech CZcamsrs with cats? What next: only reviewing flagships and driving a Tesla?!
Great video... Is this the same size etc as the mi 11 lite 5g? Just on amazon the case you can buy as a bundle for this phone is a case for the mi 11 lite
Hey Chris, does the phone still have the same RGB Delta instead of the Diamond PenTile OLED? Do the screens still suffer from the notorious black crush issues of the 11 Lite 5G?
PS: Great wallpapers!!
I am using Mi 11 Lite 5G. I happen to have the diamond pentile screen. Very gorgeous screen. No black crush issue.
@@junhao6683 Nice. I had returned mine back then as it had the Delta RGB and I found the fonts and corners blurry. I hope they aren't using the same old panel in the new one too. I was totally in love with the phone otherwise.
@@fallenjedi17 They do. It's confirmed. Ridiculous but it it what it is. Delta RGB is trash. Hopefully they also use Huaxing in some NE phones.
@@junhao6683 hi. how do you know if it's the diamond pentile screen?
As soon as conveniently possible (as there's been leaks on the internet about this), how about demo of the Xiaomi 12 Lite?
I wish you also tested PWM on OLED screens...
Very Nice Review bro I am Very Happy to see your video
Very good review bro
Loved the analogy!
Glad it wasn't a complete waste 😅
HOOOHOOOO You're approaching this phone?!
Where can we find your wallpapers sir?
Do you know what happened to the moto Z5? When is it coming out, release date?
Does anyone know if the xiaomi mi online store UK is trustworthy enough? My mum tried buying the MI 11 Lite earlier and the trasnaction couldn't go through and it said some strange text on the screen after we entered the details. We really need to buy the phone but I am worried it may be a scam, as many other online views were also quite poor :(
3 major o.s upgrade+4 years of security updates ;that's a brilliant initiative by Xiaomi.
The screen wont last two weeks without burning in... No one will keep the phone long enough to bother with the updates
@@AlexiaVon bruh burn in is not the manufacturer's fault. it'd the consumer themselves that use very high brightness or static image for a very long period of time. i have used amoled for many years now without any burn in issue.
great review
I got this as an upgrade for my samsung A5 2017.. and wow it's fast. But preferred the size of the smaller samung initially. After a couple of weeks usage i start to appreciate it more and more. The big screen and speed are nice 🙂. So far nog issues except maybe for it making small vibrations randomly it seems. Like when i pick it up it buzzez shortly. Perhaps i should see if it remains with fingerprint unlocking disabled.
The fingerprint makes it buzz. If it doesn't read the fingerprint correctly or it's not a registered fingerprint it will buzz
My samsung A52 5G is much better on every aspect than this trash
@@slavicgoth9014 that was it indeed 😅
@@danialputra9298 oh yeah, you seem very convinced..! I would not call it trash.. it works excellently so far.
@@jorgex1604 mi 11 lite 5g ne are excellent device..but my A52 5G is much more excellent than that...
One question:where do u get those anime girls wallpapers?they are so cool looking
Where can I get your wallpapers?
Do you know why my photo uploads on Facebook look stretched and shit I'm using the mi 11, thanks for this review bud
Does this phone have dual bluetooth connection? So you can connect 2 outputs at the same time
Thinking about getting this phone
So the phone case of those 3 model mi 11 lite, mi lite 5g and mi 11 lite 5g NE are 100 percent fits and the same?
If you had choose 11 lite ne or realme gt master ? Manly for playing cardgames and surfing net
can you please check is always on display limited to 10 seconds like the previous model., is there option to change it
I have the original 11 Lite 5G and there have been no security patch updates since June 2021.. Quite unnerving to think the security is out of date..
Just placed the order - Hopefully the lower battery capacity won't be an issue
The best thing about the phone was the wallpaper
I currently have a Redmi Note 7 and looking to upgrade, I have some GPS problems on Strava and Google maps. Is there a common problem with xiaomi phones and GPS?
hi sorry this is not a question about the 11 but the xiaomi civi... its only avalably eng-chi version.. if i buy from china is it easy to put google servises on it? play store etc??
Does this phone work with Android Auto? Any issues? There are some reports online that only 'Global Edition' works with Android Auto.
Where do I find the wallpapers you using?
Interesting and entertaining review as ever.
It seems as though the NE version is a pretty competent mid range all rounder. When your review spends more time complaining about the colour options it suggests that there's not much difference between this and the previous version.
My Poco F3 is more than adequate for my needs and until something pretty special comes along I'm unlikely to upgrade. Sadly (actually rather good for my bank balance) this isn't it.
Thank you for your review, take care
Aye, the Poco F3 is the superior device - that performance can't be touched. Definitely stick!
@@TechSpurt Yeah defo Poco F3 over the 5G NE, unless you really want a smaller and lighter phone... and if you're not a gamer just get the brilliant Redmi Note 10 Pro instead :D
Have you found a phone worth upgrading to yet?
@@eoinsmith1996 hi, thank you for reading my original comment and then taking the time to reply. Within the price range of the F3 that I have I'm still struggling to find an improvement. The bigger issue though is going to come down to security & OS upgrades. Xiaomi are improving but they put out so many different phones each year that upgrades can become a little hit & miss. By early to mid 2023 I feel that I will need to change my F3 for something newer.
Would you ever consider reviewing the oppo Reno 4 pro at all? I bought the oppo Reno 2 after watching your Vids a couple years ago and I'm not sure what to upgrade to. OnePlus Nord 2, Samsung a52s 5g, oppo Reno 4 pro or the oppo find X2 pro
Look at the upcoming xiaomi mi 11t (not pro).
Go for the Poco F3
Poco F3
Poco f3 or 11t pro
@@99Venom Second this. Mi 11 Lite 5G NE and the F3 are both under €300, i think those 2 are the best options unless you're willing to spend a bit more.
I couldn't find this one from our local store and my brother got me this full in retail box from My World Phone.
bought this yesterday. an upgrade after my oppo a72 was stolen. tbh? cannot complain until now. first 24h are smooth and nice and i havent even charged it yet, it still has 22%. is it perfect? No. is it a solid GOOD all-rounder for the price? yes.
I had my phone Poco F3 Pro stolen last week. Now, shopping for a replacement.
Great review as always Chris besides the 5g support I'll think my redmi note 10 pro is better
Cheers bud, and aye, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is a class act - glad you're liking it!
Which camera sensor in this phone?
I bought this phone largely based on this review and other Tech Spurt videos comparing it to other products. Here are my initial impressions . . .
The phone came without the tool to remove the sim card tray. I used a paperclip which worked fine - but I was surprised and disappointed by the omission. Additionally, no screen protector was included, although this may have been pre-installed, indicated by a slight bevel at the screen edge. My main reasons for getting it are because it's very slim, light and has a decent camera. These 'pluses' are really good - very impressive. In his review, Tech Spurt criticises the lack of a headphone jack, but it comes with an adaptor - and a pair of headphones which I wasn't expecting. So, no big deal, IMO. Prices vary - so shop around - and be wary of many iffy sites offering cheap deals. I paid £250 for the steely blue version from Amazon and am very happy with my purchase - thank you Tech Spurt!
do you have any screen problems?
@@mrsleesanders
So far, so good Lucia, touch wood! ;-)
Had the phone about a week and its ticked all the boxes... except one, the camera. Has anyone had issues with the focus/ softening of photos - in particular indoors? I've made sure AI is off and beautify is off but photos still dont look that sharp.
got mine 8/256gb for the price of 6/128 brand new , and im loving it
Love the British humour! Subscribed!
That said, would you recommend the Samsung S20 FE over the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE or vice versa?
Thanks for the review!
Would take the S20FE
@@Pascal-rs6vt Thanks for that!
Ha ha,Sutherland FC, painful. Closeups? Good stuff especially when like you stated, your brain just won't give into sleep at 03:00, oh sweet closeups.
Another great review but I think I will keep my yellow Mi 11 lite 5g.... Personally I think the snowflake white is cool looking NO PUN INTENDED!!!
I think I would still pick Poco F3 over this phone. Right now you can get the 256GB version for the same price as 128GB on 11 Lite 5G NE. Crazy!
And today, the 128 11LNE is about 20% cheaper than the 256 Poco F3
in my country its only 220$ right now! is it worth to switch from my x3 pro to it?
@@xenomorf4836 yeah amoled is a huge upgrade, for samsung brands amoled is 200k antutu score trade for amoled.
does it have stock mi dialer? or google dailer?
Notification light is available or not?
Xiaomi made the mistake of not including a 6000mAh battery, meanwhile the cheaper Poco M3 has it. Apparently a 200g phone is horrendously heavy to use, so gym visits would be required to hold such an incredibly heavy device.
Why you need that big of a battery? We got fast charging for a reason and people don't like to have a chunky brick in their pants.
You control when to show always on display , please correct your info
Apparently there's a 3.5mm USB-C adapter in the box according to some sources. No mention here though?
Yes there is.
I dont know trust to dxo mark for mi 11 lite 5g have better camera results or other reviewer say a52s have better camera quality? 🥺
Will this phone release in the Philippines?
Hi Chris,
Just think, of the football season progresses as it is forecast to do then next season you can have the joy (?) of old rivalries being renewed as Sunderland & Newcastle vie for (relative) supremacy in the championship. Oh joy!
Ha, I'm counting on it! Really miss those games, especially as Sunderland usually (randomly) came out on top
Bruh where you get your wallpapers from
3:06 you can turn it always on at setting's
Brother.... what about camera sensor???
'Xiaomi 11 lite 5g NE' or 'Redmi note 11 pro + 5g which one is gives better performance
Which one you choose?
Thanks for the review Tech spurt. I think I would go for the Galaxy 52s 5G.
Welcome, and good shout
@@TechSpurt If I would only like one UI I would go for the a52s too
Is there any hitting issue?
👍Good phone at good price
What is the price ?
Can you test that with Bluetooth earphone that has aptx hd ? Like Kz Bluetooth
Can anyone please confirm if this one has "hearing aid" support in its settings?
It does I think
Can you please give me this smartphone in India to try before it is launch here please?
When this launch in india ?
Knew you were a Mackem! (I worked in Sunderland for a year, its given me an irrational hatred of Newcastle United Football Club)
Dude I have a Doubt back side glass or a plastic metal dude
10s AOD is only on Global Rom devices, my mi 11 lite has the same problem
hmm that always on display is quite funky ....but I guess u save a percentage or 2 of battery
This phone or iphone xs?
Which phone is better Samsung A54 or 11 lite 5g. I'm confused as I want to buy one of them
Love your videos man ...I wanna buy me the poco x3pro wondering if you'd advise me to buy it ..since I love gaming
Weird question. Depends on what you prefer.. Maximum performance for little money? Then the poco is for you. If display, battery, updates, camera ect is very important for you than something else (like xiaomi 11t) would be better
@@Kevin-rf9sx thanks
Mi 10T is actually a good choice too, with higher performance and better display. Seen some good condition used ones selling for about the same price as a new X3 Pro.
pupils from exploding 😂😂😂 ultimate
My unit's display failed within 15 days of usage.
Customer service response is so cold.
For today it's been 20 days, my device is still in the service centre
We get more Xiaomi phones in one week compared to what Apple offers in a year.
It's pretty easy to beat 1 Phone with Slightly changed features.
