 Hey guys, Thunder E here and welcome to Game Review on the Mi 11. This is the latest Mi device from Xiaomi and this is also the first Snapdragon 888 device. Of course, as you expect, we have to do a gaming video so let's jump in. Thank you again guys for joining the channel. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button and the notification icon. Now the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a lovely looking device. It also houses a 108 megapixel camera. I'll show you a few camera samples so you guys get an idea but we are focused on gaming in this video. So what do we have to do gaming on the Xiaomi Mi 11? As I mentioned earlier, it's the Snapdragon 888 or 888, whichever one you want to call it. This comes with 8GB of RAM, can go up to 12GB, 256GB of storage and the battery is a 46mAh, 4600mAh battery. Now this is also a 5G device but the display is quite massive. It's a 6.8 inch display or 6.81 inch display to be exact. And this is a QHD plus display that does 120Hz, yes you've got 120Hz in the display and it does this at its maximum resolution of QHD plus which is absolutely nice. So we do benchmarks, whatever we do our gaming reviews. Now I use a tool called Gamebench and they are great because they give you a lot of detail, RAM use and all that kind of fun stuff but I was not able to use it on the Mi 11. But a fun factor is that if you open up developer options you do have the ability to see what the current refresh rate is for the display. So I have it on on the top left hand corner which you can see, it says 120Hz, just giving the idea that that is the refresh rate of the display. Now cool thing that Xiaomi does have is they do have Game Turbo. Now Game Turbo is the active game sensor, allows you to showcase all your games in there and it also gives you FPS numbers or notification, tells you also your CPU use rate, use rate as well as also your GPU use rate. So that's absolutely nice. So I won't waste any more time and let's start off with the very first game. I'll show you of course that we're playing Call of Duty Mobile and of course I will show you the settings that we use, which is the maximum settings and let's jump into some gameplay quickly. So Call of Duty Mobile played really well, really solid, refresh rate on the screen was still 120Hz but the games of course FPS was at 60 frames per second which is what we have mostly for Call of Duty. I believe it's just one device that does 120 or 90Hz but it ran well and it ran smooth and I liked that about Call of Duty Mobile. Now when we move over to something that of course supports 120 frames per second, I'm talking about Vainglory. Now Vainglory also ran at its maximum settings and what I liked about Vainglory here as you're watching the gameplay is that it ran really smooth, very butter smooth that 120Hz really comes to play but when we check the FPS on the game, this is a little bit different. Vainglory is running at 60 frames per second, not 120 frames per second which I suppose this has to do with an update of the game at least for this system here because as you know with Android devices it depends on what phone you're using and what time so I don't think this is long but I think Vainglory will be updated to at least a part 120 frames per second. Now of course you guys are big PUBG fans and you know we had to run PUBG on two different settings so the first one which I'm going to show you gameplay clip is at Ultra HD Ultra with anti-aliasing on and you can see on screen it says 90Hz because that's what the screen is showing in refresh rate at that point in time and let's check out some gameplay on PUBG Mobile. So playing at Ultra HD HD, this follows the standard affair we've seen all with a ton of flagship devices including the iPhone 12 Pro Max is that we've got 40 to 41 frames per second playing at Ultra HD HD which is fine and I think that's pretty much standard affair right now but let's go ahead and check out Smooth Extreme again on this device the Xiaomi Mi 11 and see how it actually performs. So Smooth Extreme comes in at 60 frames per second so that is good to see and it's also falls in line with what we've seen with other devices in the past. Now finally the game that a lot of people of course want to see is Genshin Mobile. Can it run effectively well at 60 frames per second on an Android device? Well we fired it up of course our screen refresh rate is a lot of 120Hz it's just going to be that and we have the highest settings for Genshin Mobile so let's go in jump into some action see how it plays and then we'll look at the FPS for the game. As you saw Genshin ran at 60 frames per second there were a few times where there were a couple of hiccups again which is this is why I like using gamebench because it lets me know with a variation the stability of the FPS rates if you want to use gamebench definitely use the link down below to check them out but Genshin Mobile definitely ran well and it ran well enough to run at 60 FPS and I think overall though you find some really good performance of this device now when it comes to temperatures though it's something quite interesting when I was playing PUBG Mobile the temperatures the back of the device or at what scanning the back was about 99 degrees and the front of the device came up to about a hundred and two hundred and three so it was much harder on the screen the device still did feel much harder than I would expect I don't know if they have any special cooling on the Mi 11 while when I played Genshin Mobile which of course is a game that overclocks as much as possible it ran at a hundred and seven degrees so it ran really warm all the way through and it felt really warm as well so that's also something to be implied now some of you asked me about battery life and battery performance I would say so far it's been good while gaming with this device I haven't actually had it connected to to a 5G connection or even to LTE so again this is just based off Wi-Fi performance and it's been pretty solid the speakers are nice and the speakers come out really well now when it comes to the camera definitely go check out other videos for the camera I know Marquez dropped a video a few other people have videos out there the camera does some decent work I've only released focused on daytime photos take some took some photos with Bored Femme where she was posing for the camera 108 megapixel sensor and the photos looked really good the portrait mode looked really solid with that as well I liked it definitely check out her channel she's got some stuff that she just dropped on the Galaxy S21 go check it out and see what she has and also some front-facing photos of myself which you guys can see and just pass by but in terms of gaming though the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a solid gaming device one more thing because I know you guys like to see this some of you probably be wondering about benchmarks now when it comes to benchmarks speaking of Geek benchmark 5 we've got a single core performance of 1126 and a multi-core performance of 3,539 so that is pretty impressive a big jump from last year from any of the 865 or 865 plus devices so that's pretty cool to see anyway I like the Mi 11 this device though does not is not available currently at least on in the West aka US or Europe so it doesn't have Google Play and I did have to sideload in there so that I could actually install the games I played but when it does become officially star worldwide if you're looking to pick this up I think it's a solid device in terms of gaming and its price point at 739 dollars is how much I bought it for I bought it from 28 mobile and they were pretty fast shipping so big shout out to them this is pretty solid to use and also again it's 739 bucks so we can't go wrong so if you have any questions only comments on the Mi 11 let me know I'll try and answer them for you but given performance for me has been great don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment
