there for you one of which is this fresh Xiamoi 11 lite 5g

new xiaomi 1195 gne which is hitting blighty in october for around 250 quid the ne bit stands for new edition although very little has actually changed compared with the original xiaomi 11 like 5g that emerged earlier in 2021 the only proper difference is that chipset as this shiny fresh model is powered by the snapdragon 778g rather than the snapdragon 780g probabl because of supply issues now i've had my sim stuffed inside of the xiaomi 11 like 5g ne for the last week or so i've been using it as my full-time smartphone so here is my in-depth review and for more on the design of
this thing that glass and plastic frame is impressively skinny and much lighter than most rivals are just a shade under 160 grams one-handed use is of course still a bit of a as that mighty
screen is 6.55 inches but the fact you've got reasonably skinny frame quite slender bezels as well and those lovely rounded corners means that the phone is quite comfortable to clutch you've got a selection of colours to choose from including vibrant blue and pink efforts and while i personally got my hands on
the fresh snowflake white model i'mstill not really sure how i feel about it i do find it's kind of like an emotional rollercoaster kind of similar to watching sunderland football club you know sometimes you're watching it and you're like hey this is actually pretty good you know we might actually stand a chance of going up this season and other times you're like maybe i should just stop being interested in football and just throw myself off the roof instead sorry that was a really crap analogy what i'm basically trying to say is sometimes i really appreciate the fact that xiaomi tried to do something so fundamentally different with the look of this phone and other times i can't help but thinking that that rear end looks
quite similar to a really cheap kitchen work surface that my nan used to have still on a positive note the xiaomi 11 like 5g ennes r10 seems just as hardy as said work surface because after a week of rough handling still not nicks or scuffs although that might just be the case of i can't actually see the nixon scuffs because of the outlandish design and meanwhile around front it's a gorilla glass 5 quarter not as good as the gorilla glass 6 quarter you had on the original xiaomi 11 light 5g unfortunately but again after a week of handling absolutely no damage to speak of despite the lack of a pre-installed screen protector sadly though there's no water resistance here so if that's a deal breaker for you maybe try samsung's galaxy a52 s5g instead as always with xiaomi's blowers you've got that miui 12 launcher to contend with thankfully this behaved itself in my week with the 1195g ne no funny business like crashing or other quirks to speak of just a heap of crap wear that definitely needs delete and pronto like bloody linkedin and facebook get off my phone boy i do like quite a lot of the extras that miui adds to

the android experience the likes of the gaming mode for instance you've got those video tools some of which are a bit crap and pointless and some of which are actually decent and you've got the gesture support as well few minor grumbles like the always on display isn't really and always on display as it
can only be shown for 10 seconds when the screen is tapped so that is a bit crap but it's great to hear that xiaomi is taking os and security updates more seriously so you should get a couple of
years of love on this thing so the software isn't bang out a date on the security side of things we've got face recognition support here to unlock the smartphone but it's not exactly the most secure because it does seem to work even when i'm face masked to the max but you can just leave that if you like and use the edge mounted fingerprint sensor instead which is seriously good despite
being crazy skinny it's responsive and you'll rarely have to double tap your digit in order for it to recognize you
now as well as the software that 6.55 inch amoled screen hasn't really changed up at all from the original 11 light 5g phone it's a full hd plus panel that fires sharp vibrant images straight into your brain complete with dolby vision and hdr 10 plus support stream a bit of netflix original content and you'll be treated as some fine ass visuals that is the professional term obviously only a slight blemish for that selfie orifice too so going full screen is all good and
admittedly no it's not the brightest screen around but i could still work out what i was trying to do when i was outdoors and those occasional moments when the sun managed to break through that thick layer of gloom that we're experiencing here in the uk the 90 hertz refresh rate matches most rivals and you've also got the usual eye comfort modes and monochrome modes and all that shenanigans to prevent your peepers from exploding when you're doomed scrolling at 3 am to punish your stupid wide awake brain
unfortunately i am substantially less impressed with the audio chops of the xiaomi 11 light 5g ne yeah it's got a stereo speaker arrangement for media but on top of volume that output is weaker
than a ferret's fart and even worse there's bugger all headphone jack here on the 11 light 5g ne so it is a good thing that at least the bluetooth 5.2 streaming was absolutely perfect strong
and stable whether i was streaming to a headphones speakers whatever good news if you want to download loads of movies
and tunes though because you get a minimum 128 gigs of storage expandable via microsd in that second sim slot as i mentioned before one of the only proper changes here on the 11 light 5g ne the new addition over the original smartphone is the fact that you've got that snapdragon 778g chipset power and precedence my review model was the lesser six gigs of ram version and i did
notice that the performance definitely wasn't quite as strong as some other smartphones like the samsung a52 s5g games like gench and impact are playable but they also do jutter and
stumble occasionally when things get intense all the same though the 11 lite 5g ne is capable enough for this price point remaining cool even if you dedicate a couple of hours to arguing with irritating fairies and bashing trolls on the bonds and if you're not
really into gaming well everyday shenanigans absolutely fine here on the 1195g ne your apps will load up quickly and you can do a bit multitasking all that good stuff and of course you've got
that 5g support built into the 778g as well spread across both sims so connectivity not an issue and i've got no complaints for the battery life on this new edition model either i've found that i very rarely run it into the power saver mode even at the end of a very
long intensive day with plenty of music streaming a bit of video action occasionally a little bit of light gaming and uh using it as a sat nav as well so even at the end of a very heavy day i still tended to have around 15 to 20 of charge left as for recharging
where you got 33 watt support here on the 11 light 5g ne which ain't too bad at all now last up the optics and the camera hardware again hasn't been tinkered with for this 5g ne model the 64 megapixel primary sensor can grab 16 meg snaps and while the picture quality can't quite touch rivals such as the pixel 4a and again that e52 s5g it's not half bad shoot something in decent light
and you'll enjoy realistic colors and fine detail and in your photo as long as you leave

that ai mode while alone even in more ambient light the results are decent if you're not trying to shoot anything in motion so kittens and sugared up kids are right out now the night mode doesn't do a huge amount to boost the brightness when the lighting is crap but it does make a small difference and as usual with xiaomi smartphones you've got plenty of other bonus mods to play around with here including good old pro mode of course if
you want to tinker with the white balance all that shenanigans and a portrait mode that does a great job with living subjects and disembodied mannequin heads smearing out all of that background clutter so they really stand out the xiaomi 11 light 5g ne also serves up an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle shooter that like most ultra wide angle lenses sacrifices tonal accuracy for a broader score and yes you've got a 5 megapixel telemacro lens if you want to shoot weird close-ups for all your video needs this mobile can record up to 4k resolution footage at 30 frames per second and again i was happy enough with the results as long as that lighting
holds up the visuals are sharp enough so you can enjoy your footage on a big screen while the audio capture is also nice and clear and the 20 megapixel selfie shooter will do a decent enough job as long as you do two things turn off that stupid beautify bollocks and avoid strong light as you'll just end up with oversaturated results otherwise it's perfectly fine with excellentportrait smarts and that right there is my full final frank review of the xiaomi 11 light 5g ne after using it as my personal smartphone for a week or so and i gotta say i did enjoy using it though coming from the samsung galaxy a52 s5g i gotta say the gaming performance on that was better the camera was slightly better as well you've got that water resistance so if you can't afford just that little bit of extra outlay i definitely recommend upgrading to that one but if you're not really bothered about gaming you're not going to be ever you know de-stressing a nice sudsybubbly bath with a good bit of anime on your smartphone well the xiaomi 11 light 5g ne should definitely satisfy you know a decent software experience strong bit of hardware overall love these stuff so it should be hitting the uk uh in the next sort of few weeks for around 350 quid we don't have the final uk price just yet but when we do i'll bung it in the description below be great to hear your thoughts on the xiaomi 1195g ne and also the original 5g as well if you ever happen to have your sims slotted into pleas subscrib thanks ,
