After 2 months of intensive use (Mi 11 lite 5G, 8 GB RAM) here are some thoughts:
- With some special calibration, screen becomes al pari with Samsung's (S20 or S21) and maybe even better because of more colors (1B)! It can be very rich and sharp. And brightness is enough under the Sun (over 850 nits!). Plus: it does not overheat like s20.
- Screen has DC dimming but it is hidden. 90HZ vs 120HZ - not so much different. DC dimming is also unique feature od Xiaomi's devices. Good for eyes.
- 780G Snapdragon is equaly fast as 855 and close to s20 Exynos. And it is better optimised.
- Camera is very good in this class, less or more like Samsung's midrangers.
- Battery is also strong side of this phone, it lasts 6-8 OST on 100% brightness and charges quickly.
- Phone is water resistant, although says only IP53 but I am washing it regulary.
- Sound through good earphones is rich and similar to S20 or S21.
- MIUI is highly customizable, you can change and delete almost anything.
- Design is pretty sleek, the Lite is very thin, light (under 160 grams!) and has matte glass backside, also there is Gorilla 6 in front.
- IR control of everything is really useful and unique
- Side unlock button is extremely accurate and fast.
-Phone comes with a quick charger. Another plus for Xiaomi.
This is almost perfect phone, but there are some cons:
- Display is very nice and vibrant over 400 nits but under that becomes awful, washed and weak.
- Although Lite is very light and thin, it is flat and very wide so it is hardly usable with one hand.
- Photo mode must be improved (software) and Flash is not strong.
- MIUI launcher have to give us option for removing status bar when reading or surfing.
- Speakers are loud but bass-less. You can improve it with Equlizer app, but not much.
All in all, this is probably the best mid-ranger under 400€ for 2021.

Specification wise, this is a great phone and loving it so far. The only problem is the quality of LCD. Mi 11 lite gorilla glass is borderline non-existent. The quality is bad and you can pretty much accidentally sratch it on day 1.

the 780 is on par with 855 chipset, it seems the inside architecture is mid class but pushed with high clock speed

This phone has a kind of always on display, but it doesn't work like the Samsung's one. You can enable it from settings but will only work for 10s after double tapping the screen. There is a workaround enabling some option in "Developer options" menu. Google it.

After any major Android update it is a good idea to hard reset your phone. Did you do it?

After the upgrade to MIUI 12.5.5 I plugged the charger on 18% on 3.5h on screen time. Was that in purpose, and anyone has a fix for that ?

Does this phone support standard always on function like samsung's phones? I read that you have to tap on display to show time and notifications. Is it true?
