Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE smartphone review: The top seller gets fine-tuned

Really new?

Xiaomi has provided the popular Lite model of its 11 series with a slight upgrade. Read on to find out whether the newer SoC and the new color variants really justify the higher purchase price, and whether the upgrade is even worth it.

Not only does Xiaomi adapt the Lite model of the current 11 series to the latest naming convention with the New Edition (NE) model and remove the "Mi" from its name, but it also provides it with a newer SoC and new color variants. The slim phone has also become a bit lighter, and otherwise, it retains the virtues of its predecessor, the Mi 11 Lite 5G.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE starts at an MSRP of 370 Euros (~$417). In return, the smartphone comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The upgrade to 8 GB of RAM costs an additional 30 Euros (~$34). The 256 GB variant isn't officially sold in Germany at the moment, but it's available from a few retailers nevertheless, which usually charge between 407 Euros (~$459) and 420 Euros (~$473) for it.

Case - Slim and light Xiaomi smartphone

At best, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE can be visually distinguished from its predecessor by its colors. With Bubblegum Blue, Mint Green, Peach Pink, Snowflake White, and Truffle Black, these options aren't only abundant, but also quite colorful. Moreover, the NE weighs one gram less.

Xiaomi specifies a build height of 6.81 millimeters, while we measure 7.1 millimeters. The camera protrudes up to 1.8 millimeters from the case, but all in all, the 11 Lite leaves a very slim impression. Workmanship appears to be of high quality as well. While the predecessor still used Corning Gorilla Glass 6, the NE model now uses the older 5 version. The matte glass back is visually very attractive, and it conceals fingerprints very well. The gap dimensions are close-fitting and even. Only the black plastic frame around the display diminishes the high-quality exterior a bit.

The IP53 certification, which at least indicates that the smartphone is splash-proof, is probably still there, but it doesn't appear in the official spec sheets anymore. The SIM slot isn't completely flush with the frame, since it's slightly recessed. It can either hold two nano SIM cards or a microSD card instead of the second SIM.

Connectivity - Xiaomi 11 Lite NE with microSD and USB 2.0

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has a USB 2.0 port that supports OTG and therefore allows the connection of storage devices and other peripherals.

A notification LED is not available, but this is compensated for with an always-on display. Furthermore, an IR blaster for controlling home multimedia products, air conditioners, and the like, as well as Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC are on board.

The only things missing are a radio receiver and an audio jack. However, headphones can be connected via USB, and Xiaomi includes the corresponding adapter.

Software - Android 11 and MIUI 12.5 for the New Edition

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE runs Android 11 and MIUI 12.5. At the time of testing, the security updates are at the level of November 1, 2021 and are therefore quite up to date. The update to Android 12 and MIUI 13 is considered certain. Xiaomi has even promised major updates for three years and security updates for four years via its Indian Twitter channel. However, it's unclear whether this will also apply to the European models.

There are quite a few third-party apps that Xiaomi has preinstalled on the smartphone. Although this is a bit annoying, they can be uninstalled. Furthermore, advertisements are occasionally displayed in the system, especially in the file manager, and sometimes after installing apps.

Communication and GNSS - Strong positioning capabilities

The communication features remain nearly unchanged, although Xiaomi has added a few additional frequency bands for mobile networks compared with the predecessor. The reception quality is normal in the test.

With Wi-Fi 6, the 11 Lite 5G NE supports a modern Wi-Fi standard that delivers quite good data transfer rates in combination with our Netgear Nighthawk AX12 reference router; it's a bit slower than the Mi 11 Lite, though, but this difference won't be noticeable in everyday use.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE's positioning features are exemplary, and it even supports most satellite networks in dual- and tri-band mode. The satellite fix is correspondingly fast and precise.

Although the Xiaomi phone tracks the route comparatively accurately on our test drive, it has to admit defeat to the Garmin Venu 2 Watch. Nevertheless, there are no navigational limitations to be expected.

Telephone and call quality

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE offers good call quality when held to the ear. It reliably eliminates quieter background noises, but its noise suppression reaches its limits on busy streets. Although the noise is still barely audible, the user's voice is muffled and sounds a bit hollow, and there are also interruptions during transmission.

The speaker reverberates audibly, but it can still be used in quiet environments when the smartphone is in the immediate vicinity. At a distance of just over one meter from the phone, it's already difficult to understand the user.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has a hybrid SIM solution; it supports VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling, and it can also manage SIP accounts.

Cameras - Good triple solution in the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE

There are no noticeable changes compared to the predecessor in terms of cameras. The front-facing lens takes 20 MP selfies and can record videos at 1080p (at up to 60 FPS). The photos are quite appealing, and the smartphone manages a good bokeh effect in portrait mode. Only the transitions towards the subject aren't always entirely smooth.

The main camera on the back uses a 64 MP Samsung GW3 sensor. Photos in daylight show good details and vivid colors, but the AI likes to overdo it a bit with the correction, so that the light haze in the lake scene is simply no longer present. Xiaomi has improved when it comes to low-light performance, where the autofocus is better now. The ultra wide-angle lens shows a lot of post sharpening, but there are only a few aberrations at the edges of the picture. We would like to see better image stabilization when zooming. The digital zoom's quality (max. 6x) remains satisfactory up to a 2x or 3x magnification, but beyond that, the pictures become blurry quickly, and the results are not very attractive. An additional macro lens is also on board, and videos are recorded in Ultra HD at 30 FPS at best.

Under controlled lighting conditions, the main camera of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE shows good image sharpness all the way into the peripheral areas without overdoing it. The situation is different in terms of color reproduction. Especially green tones and dark skin are displayed much too brightly. This also applies to light blue and lilac. The white balance is a bit warmer, but the grayscales are also too bright for the most part.

Accessories and warranty - Slim phone, thick box

33-watt charger included in the box of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE still has a comparatively generous package. Besides the smartphone, the box contains a compatible silicon case, a modular 33-watt charger (USB-A), a USB cable (Type-A to Type-C), a SIM tool, and even an audio jack adapter.

Xiaomi doesn't offer optional accessories, but they are available via third-party suppliers. The smartphone only comes with a twelve-month warranty, but the retailer's warranty remains unaffected by this.

Input devices and handling - Smooth navigation on the Xiaomi smartphone

Unlike the predecessor, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and it also comes with a factory applied protective film. The screen is fast and precise, not least because of the high sampling rate of 240 Hz, but the protective film provides a slightly higher degree of gliding resistance to the fingers. The system is quick and smooth to navigate, especially when the 90 Hz mode is enabled.

A fingerprint scanner has been integrated into the power button for biometric security, and it offers good recognition rates and a satisfying unlocking speed. Alternatively, facial recognition via the front-facing camera is also available; this method is faster but less secure. Furthermore, features like double-tapping to wake up the display or a one-hand mode have also been implemented.

Display - Dim, but more accurate in return

Subpixel structure
Subpixel structure

Compared with the predecessor, there are no fundamental changes on the spec sheet, but the AMOLED panel has a slightly lower maximum brightness, and an even distribution of bright and dark areas (APL50) results in a peak brightness of 825 cd/m². This is still enough for a decent HDR reproduction; the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE supports HLG, HDR10, HDR10+, and DolbyVision in this respect. Users who only wish to adjust the brightness manually will only reach a maximum of 490 cd/m².

The refresh rate can be set to 60 or 90 Hz, and there's no adaptive adjustment. There's no DC-dimming mode either. On the other hand, we can observe OLED flickering in the test starting at minimum display brightness levels; the flickering is quite uniform and only fluctuates marginally between 337.8 and 373.1 Hz. The panel only operates at a constant 90 Hz above 53% of the adjustable brightness.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 373.1 Hz ≤ 53 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 373.1 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 53 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 373.1 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Color reproduction is almost perfect when the right setting is chosen. We achieve the values measured here by selecting the Original Colors color scheme with the standard white balance. However, the smartphone only uses the smaller sRGB color space in this case. The display is cooler and more saturated when using the factory settings.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
3.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1.6 ms rise
↘ 1.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 11 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
3.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1.6 ms rise
↘ 2 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 10 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

The display of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE always remains legible outdoors, but it shows pretty strong reflections even on cloudy days.

As expected, the panel's viewing-angle stability is very good. The display content only gets a bit warmer at very flat viewing angles. We are hardly able to detect the shimmering effect that is typically found in many OLED panels.

Performance - SoC downgrade in the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is powered by a Snapdragon 778G 5G, which can make use of the integrated Adreno 642L graphics unit. The Mi 11 Lite is equipped with a Snapdragon 780G, which is actually two months older on paper, but still runs faster. This is both due to the higher clock rates and its more modern structural width.

Therefore, the older smartphone is slightly faster in the benchmarks in all areas, and it can show a significant advantage in the 3DMark graphics tests in particular. Only in individual physics tests does the SD780G fall slightly behind, but it still remains ahead of the SD778G in the overall rating. This isn't very noticeable in everyday use, but we would have expected a more powerful SoC from a New Edition device.

Xiaomi uses fast UFS 2.2 storage in its smartphone, which is a good foundation for a fast system speed. However, other competitors have access to faster storage, and the Nord 2 in particular literally pulls ahead of the comparison field.

Games - Good mid-range gaming phone

The Adreno 642L in the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE delivers good gaming performance, and it's powerful enough to handle most games even in higher graphics settings, but it also has its limits. For example, the Ultra HD setting can't be chosen in PUBG. However, the frame rates that we determined with GameBench are at a good and, above all, stable level. Nevertheless, we were unable to squeeze frame rates above 60 FPS out from the Xiaomi phone.

Emissions - Dual speakers for the New Edition

Temperature

The surface temperatures of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE remain harmless at all times, and even under continuous load, they only partially reach over 30 °C (~86 °F).

Unlike the Mi 11 Lite 5G, the New Edition succeeds in keeping the chipset's performance stable even in the stress test. However, we couldn't execute the GFXBench test again.

Speakers

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has two speakers that deliver a decent sound output, but they lack precision at medium volumes and sound a bit muffled.

Alternatively, audio can be transmitted via the USB-C port, for which Xiaomi has also included an audio jack adapter. Bluetooth 5.2 is available for wireless connectivity, and it offers a very broad codec support with SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX TWS+, LDAC, and LHDC V1-V4.

Battery life - Xiaomi smartphone with 4,250 mAh

Energy consumption

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE's power consumption is slightly elevated in idle usage at maximum display brightness, but at standard brightness (150 cd/m²), it's more efficient than the Galaxy A52s, for example, which is based on the same SoC.

The 4,250 mAh battery can be fully recharged in just over an hour (64 minutes) with the included 33-watt power adapter. The 90% mark is reached after just 45 minutes. However, wireless charging is not supported.
