Good deal – The Xiaomi 11T 256 GB “4-star” smartphone at €388.82 (-26%)

With the Xiaomi 11T Pro and 11T, the Chinese manufacturer is once again trying to establish itself by offering a high-end technical sheet for an affordable price. After its Pro variant for the less effective, it’s the turn of the 11T to go through our labs.

Even if it is strongly inspired by the Xiaomi 11T Pro, this 11T manages to make a strength of its main difference, while being more affordable. It still offers a good finish and a high quality screen, but logically offers less raw power than its brother under Snapdragon 888. This drop in speed still has an advantage: it allows it to be much more enduring, which may be more important for a majority of users. It certainly recharges a little slower than the Pro, but the difference remains negligible on a daily basis. The icing on the cake, the software photo processing seems less supported and delivers a more faithful daytime result. A very good model in its price range.

Alternatively

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G update in the form of the Galaxy A52s is fully justified, especially since the former is gradually disappearing from the shelves. The optimization that accompanies its chipsets hits the mark, and allows the user, subject to accommodating the small weaknesses of the A52, particularly in terms of photography, to benefit from a mid-range smartphone cut out for gaming.
