Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G with 120W fast charging launched in India; will take on OnePlus 9RT at a price of Rs 39,999
This is Xiaomi’s answer to the OnePlus 9RT.
Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G officially arrives in India today, 19th January 2022. This is Xiaomi’s answer to the OnePlus 9RT. In typical Xiaomi fashion, the 11T Pro undercuts the 9RT in price, yet, offers more bang for the buck in hardware. You get a fast 10-bit 120Hz display with Dolby Vision support, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chip paired with gobs of RAM and storage, 108MP triple camera setup with 8K video recording, and whopping 120W fast charging. Breaking with convention, the 11T Pro is also eligible to receive three years of major Android OS updates and four years of security updates (the phone runs Android 11 out-of-the-box, though).
The 11T Pro, as you can tell, is packed to the gills. There’s so much to talk about. Its biggest feature is the launch price, though. Despite it being superior in almost every way, the 11T Pro starts at just under Rs 40,000. You can get it cheaper, too, with launch offers. The OnePlus 9RT, for some context, starts at Rs 42,999. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which is also a competitor to this phone and starts at Rs 54,999, meanwhile falls under a whole different segment when seen from Xiaomi’s vantage point. We’ve been using the 11T Pro for a few days and while a full review will take some more time, there’s no denying that Xiaomi has pulled another rabbit out of its hat.
