The Xiaomi Mi 11 launched as the primary telephone in the world to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. Xiaomi has already offered over 1 million models of the telephone because it went on sale in the beginning of the month.
Not like its predecessor, the Mi 10 5G, Xiaomi didn’t announce a Mi 11 Professional alongside the usual model. However, a professional mannequin is coming in the not too distant future, and like all professional fashions, it ought to have higher specs, and naturally, a better price ticket.
On this submit, we are going to discuss what we count on from Xiaomi with the Mi 11 Professional in phrases of specs and efficiency, points from the Mi 11 we count on to have been mounted, and likewise the explanation why we consider the telephone was delayed.
Mi 11 Professional Specs (what we all know up to now)
The Mi 11 Professional is anticipated to return with a 2K AMOLED show with a 120Hz refresh price simply as the usual mannequin. We don’t know what the display screen dimension will probably be seeing because the Mi 11 has a reasonably large 6.81-inch display screen. Our guess is that the display screen dimension will stay the identical based mostly on the truth that the Mi 10 5G advert Mi 10 Professional 5G each have the identical display screen dimension.
We count on the identical Snapdragon 888 that’s discovered on the Mi 11 on the Professional mannequin and it ought to be paired with as much as 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There may be additionally a risk that Xiaomi will announce a 16GB RAM model that comes with 512GB of storage. Similar to final 12 months’s Mi 10 Professional, there shouldn’t be help for storage growth.
A leak says the Mi 10 Professional could have a 5000mAh battery capability which is a major bump in comparison with the Mi 11’s 4600mAh battery. It ought to include help for quicker wired and wi-fi charging, and if stories are true, that ought to be 120W and 67W respectively. We additionally count on the telephone to have help for Fast Cost 5.
Different anticipated options are stereo audio system, an in-display fingerprint scanner which ought to double as a coronary heart price scanner as in the usual model, NFC, an IR sensor, Wi-Fi 6, and perhaps even Wi-Fi 6E.
Mi 11 Professional Cameras
We determined to provide the cameras a separate part as it’s a essential side of the telephone.
Xiaomi has set a excessive commonplace with respect to camera efficiency with the Mi 10 Extremely. The China-exclusive flagship sits on the third spot on DxOMark‘s record of smartphones with the perfect camera. The 2 gadgets that sit on the first and second positions are the Huawei Mate 40 Professional+ and Mate 40 Professional respectively.
So what will we count on from Xiaomi for the Mi 11 Professional’s cameras? Cameras which are higher than what we have now on the Mi 11.
The Mi 11’s cameras are okay at greatest however they will’t match the Mi 10 Extremely which is Xiaomi’s greatest camera smartphone. A leaked poster alleged to be that of the Mi 11 Professional exhibits the telephone could have 4 rear cameras and 120x zoom however we are going to take it with a pinch of salt.
If we had been to take a wild guess, we’d say the Mi 11 Professional will launch with a camera configuration much like that of the Mi 10 Extremely however with higher optimizations. This implies a 48MP principal camera, one other 48MP camera with OIS for the periscope lens which brings 120x hybrid zoom, a 12MP telephoto camera, and a 20MP ultrawide camera.
You is likely to be questioning if merely copying the camera configuration from the Mi 10 Extremely is sensible, nevertheless it does while you understand that the Mi 10 Extremely is a China-exclusive product, which implies most of Xiaomi’s worldwide clients didn’t get to expertise the telephone’s camera prowess. What higher approach to carry that camera expertise to the worldwide market than by way of the Mi 11 Professional?
As we mentioned above, Xiaomi isn’t simply lifting the sensors but additionally fine-tuning them. The sensors will be optimized to reap the benefits of the Snapdragon 888’s Spectra 580 triple picture sign processor to churn out higher images than the Mi 10 Extremely.
Points from the Mi 11 we count on Xiaomi to have mounted in the Mi 11 Professional
Critiques have proven that the Mi 11 shouldn’t be an ideal flagship. We coated the problems we skilled with our unit, and we hope most, if not all, of those points, have been mounted forward of the discharge of the worldwide model subsequent week. Nonetheless, we count on even higher efficiency from the Mi 11 Professional.
- Higher software program – one of many points we observed with the Mi 11 is app crashes. This occurs with the camera app and a few video games. That is in all probability a software program challenge (MIUI) and we count on Xiaomi to have mounted them. Whereas it isn’t unusual for a tool to have software program points out of the field, it isn’t a very good expertise nonetheless. We additionally count on Xiaomi to have fine-tuned its software program to work higher with the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
- Higher cooling – the Snapdragon 888 is understood to warmth up shortly when gaming and when it does that, the processing energy is throttled all the way down to handle the warmth which impacts the sport. Whereas that is undoubtedly a problem with the chipset (that is Qualcomm’s first 5nm chipset in spite of everything), Xiaomi might be able to higher handle it with a greater cooling system.
- Higher construct – the Mi 11 comes in a vegan leather-based model that’s virtually a plastic panel with a polyurethane coating. Our unit rattles while you play an audio file by way of the loudspeaker which factors to an issue with the construct high quality. We have no idea if this is identical expertise with the model with a glass again, but when Xiaomi plans to launch vegan leather-based choices for the Mi 11 Professional, then it wants to notice this challenge and repair it in the brand new mannequin
Why the Mi 11 Professional didn’t launch alongside the Mi 11
It got here as a shock when Xiaomi solely introduced the Mi 11 on the telephone’s launch occasion in December 2020. Nonetheless, we need to consider it was a calculated determination. Beneath are the explanations we got here up with as to why the Mi 11 Professional’s launch was delayed:
- Giving the Mi 11 its personal stage to shine – If the Mi 11 Professional had launched alongside the Mi 11, it will have overshadowed it. See telephones just like the Galaxy S21 sequence – the S21 Extremely is getting extra consideration than the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus. By splitting the launches, the Mi 11 had the stage to itself and all the eye.
- A headstart in phrases of gross sales – The Mi 11 not solely launched early but additionally went on sale shortly after. In keeping with Xiaomi, it has offered greater than 1 million models and that’s for China alone. When the telephone launches in different markets subsequent week, that quantity is anticipated to double. If the Mi 11 Professional had launched alongside the Mi 11, gross sales would have been cut up between each.
In fact, the whole gross sales determine would in all probability have been larger however consumers would have needed to resolve which of the 2 telephones to buy, and the Mi 11 could not have offered so many models. Nonetheless, by launching the Mi 11 and holding a decent lip on the existence of a professional mannequin, consumers could have no selection however to choose up the obtainable mannequin. - Extra time for growth – One more reason why the Mi 11 Professional bought delayed could also be attributable to Xiaomi requiring extra time for growth. There’s a risk that sure parts or applied sciences they want will not be but obtainable or perfected, therefore the rationale for delaying its launch.
Conclusion
There undoubtedly is rather a lot to look ahead to in the Mi 11 Professional and if the extra growth time means a greater system, then a number of months of delay is value it.
There are stories that the Mi Professional will probably be introduced after the Spring Competition vacation which implies it could launch earlier than the top of this month. Similar to the usual model, the telephone ought to be unveiled in China first earlier than a worldwide debut later. Going by the Mi 10, the time-frame between the Chinese language launch and world launch ought to be nothing lower than a month.
