After teasing for days, Xiaomi has finally unveiled the Xiaomi 11T series today. The lineup includes two models, namely Xiaomi 11T and Xiaomi 11T Pro. The two phones are almost identical with a few differences between them. These handsets succeed the Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro from last year.

Xiaomi 11T / 11T Pro Design

The design of the Xiaomi 11T series is inspired by vintage film camcorders. This can be seen from the placement of the triple rear camera array on the back. 

The phones feature a plastic frame and a glass back with an anti-glare finish. They also have tapered edges and quad curves on the rear for a better in-hand experience. On the front, they sport a punch-hole display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Talking about placements, the volume rockers and power key with embedded fingerprint sensor reside on the right side, while the left side has nothing. Further, the bottom houses a USB Type-C port, a primary microphone, a speaker grille, and a SIM card slot. Lastly, the top side includes an IR blaster, another speaker grille, and a secondary microphone.

These IP53-rated smartphones measure 164.1mm x 76.9mm x 8.8mm in dimensions and their weight differs by a single gram. The vanilla model and Pro models weigh 203g and 204g respectively.

The Xiaomi 11T series comes in three colors, such as Meteorite Gray, Moonlight White, and Celestial Blue
