We tested this device based on MIUI 12.5.10 . Out of the box, we got 231.3 GB out of remaining space for it's 256 GB storage variant that we got.
Connectivity - We got no problems on this department thanks to it's Snapdragon 888 processor. Smooth as silk on our calls, texts, Bluetooth, WiFi, mobile data and GPS.
Battery - As expected on a flagship smartphone, we are only getting a bit above average on it's battery life at least it can survive for more than 24 hours with it's 5,000 mAh batttery on normal mode as we only need performance mode for video rendering mode. The impressive 120 watt charger can easily top up this device from 0 to 100% usually for us at around 21 minutes.
Audio - superb indeed on this device as Dolby Atmos mode works on either speaker or even on Bluetooth headphones that we used on this.
On camera, Xiaomi 11T Pro has got a lot of video and photo features that you can ask for it's Php 29,990 asking price. It was our first time to shoot in 8K video (good thing that we have capable PC hardware for playback on PC). 8K videos are at 30 fps and only stuck on 16:9 ratio. Definitely, it cannot match it's quality compared to those DSLRs that can do. On photo, 11T Pro did wonderful on various and complicated lighting conditions (like that one building on a sunset in Filinvest City). Even that we are did at 108 MP shooting mode, the image processing speed was on a snap.
