Xiaomi 11T Pro offers many of the features and specifications of the brand’s Ultra-Premium Mi 11 line, albeit at a slightly lower price point that places it in the Premium segment. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s high-end Snapdragon 888 chipset and comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, a primary camera with ultra-wide and macro lenses, as well as up to 12GB and 256GB of onboard memory RAM. .
The front camera is integrated into the display and captures 16MP images through an f / 2.45 aperture lens. In video mode, you can record selfie clips in FullHD 1080p resolution with a frame rate of up to 60 fps.
Let’s see what these specs mean in real life and how the Xiaomi 11T Pro compares to the competition in the SBMARK Selfie test.
Main specifications of the front camera:
- 16MP sensor, f / 2.45 aperture lens
- 1080p / 60fps video (1080p / 30fps tested)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset
About SBMARK selfie tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone front camera reviews, SBMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 1500 test images and more than 2 hours of video in both controlled laboratory environments and indoor and outdoor natural scenes, using the default camera settings. This article aims to highlight the most important results of our tests. For more information on the SBMARK Selfie Test Protocol, click here.
Test summary
Pros
- Good exposure (even with flash) and wide dynamic range
- Precise and stable white balance
- Good video exposure in bright light and indoors
- Video noise is well controlled
Cons
- From time to time the rendering of the unnatural complexion
- Luminance noise
- Image artifacts, including tonal changes and instability of local textures
- Limited depth of field for group photos
- The blur gradient is not visible in bokeh mode
- Often unnatural color or skin tone in bright light videos
- Loss of detail on faces in high contrast videos
- Ineffective video stabilization, especially in high contrast scenes
With a score of 91, the Xiaomi 11T Pro reaches a mid-table position in our SBMARK Selfie ranking for devices in the Premium segment. It’s also an improvement over Xiaomi’s Mi 11, with noticeably better performance in photo mode. The 11T Pro’s score is also higher for videos, but the difference is less pronounced than for stills.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro’s outdoor selfies show accurate target exposure and white balance, as well as a fairly wide dynamic range, allowing for good detail in bright portions of the sky.
When capturing photos, the 11T Pro’s front-facing camera offers intermediate results in virtually all categories. Exposure tends to be accurate, but can be a bit unstable at times. Compared to devices like the predecessor 10T Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, the dynamic range is quite wide, capturing better details in the brightest and darkest areas of the frame. The automatic white balance system is also usually accurate and consistent, but our testers observed some color casts, which can result in slightly unnatural skin tones.

On focal plane subjects, details are slightly lower than some competitors, and 11T Pro users should keep in mind that the camera’s depth of field is quite shallow, meaning there is a noticeable loss of background detail. or on the back people of group photos. Image noise is slightly visible, even in bright light, and gets worse as light levels decrease. Image artifacts we found include local texture instability and hue shift near saturation, such as a blue sky turning cyan.

When recording video clips, the 11T Pro performs relatively well in terms of exposure and noise, but loses a few points in the stabilization category. Target exposure tends to be accurate when shooting in bright light or indoors, but our testers often observed color casts in daytime videos, sometimes on the subject’s skin, resulting in slightly unnatural skin tones. Video noise is well under control in all lighting conditions, but there is a noticeable loss of detail on faces when recording in bright, high-contrast conditions. Stabilization is an area for improvement. The residual movement of the camera is quite noticeable both when holding the camera still and during recording when in motion. This is especially true for high-contrast scenes.
This 11T Pro video clip shows good target exposure but there is also a slight pink cast on the skin and a lack of detail. Camera shake is quite noticeable.
