[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
I agree with you. I also had Redmi Note 8 Pro before I bought the Mi 11 Lite 5G. Firstly I was unlucky with the screen, but overall even the Pentile AMOLED screen on it feels slightly worse than the LCD. Because after all LCD screens are better in terms of sharpness. In the end, it's about preference, the reason why I might stick with the Mi 11 Lite 5G is that the RN8Pro is having software bugs that annoys me
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Honestly I can't find anything what Mi Lite 5G display is doing better except pure black colour of course. Additionally I think I have this worse RGB delta screen. However, this is only visible at night. During the day there is no difference in terms of black colour. Additionally you are a bit forced to use black theme to save quite a lot of battery which in my case in Mi Lite 5G is terrible. I thought it's software. However, please compare battery usage in both phones. In Mi Lite 5G display battery use is ALWAYS on the first place because it needs from 2x to up to 3.8x energy using black theme all the time and 60 or 90 Hz than IPS in RN8 Pro...! How bad must be that display? Could you confirm your display is also on the first place in Settings jn battery saver section (MIUI settings)?

Enjoy your new device if you can. I just can't stand that display, I tried a few times and surrendered. Just wondering what mostly annoys in Note 8 Pro in terms of software? That might be sorted with incoming MIUI 12.5 update.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Just look. Redmi Note 8 Pro uses around 850 mAh in over 7 hours versus 1370 mAh in over 4 hours in Mi 11 Lite 5G! :O That's just unreal. Same lightning conditions.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
That's indeed a big number, I haven't used the phone that much today but so far I've got:

RN8Pro with 6 hours 21 minutes - 861.51mAh

Mi11Lite5G with 1 hour - 149.89mAh

I will use the phone more today and will tell you how it looks like, screen is on second place right after the Android system, because I was moving my stuff on the phone
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] yeye.phone:
Hello, 10bits color is it really better than classic 8bits (For watch YouTube or mobiles 720p or 1080p)?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
150 mAh for one hour is nowhere near my result. Please let me know then, that's weird. This was usage mostly outside so minimum 3/4 on auto brightness. I really have feeling that this screen is a glitch which was put into this phone by accident.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Many of us think as for now that at least one type of displays mounted in Mi Lite 11 is very poor quality. Real resolution is much lower than it should be as advertised and if you used especially LCD display before, you would be very disappointed. Colours are also worse than in old Redmi Note 8 Pro so don't treat this 10-bit as an real thing. Xiaomi delivers cheap displays to customers and probably delivered phones with good ones to reviewers hence the good reviews. IMO don't buy this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
This is what I'm getting for nearly 3 hours. It's strange, there must be something wrong with your display which should be covered in warranty either way. I don't think the RGB would be draining it so fast
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
:O Is this at home or outside? Auto brightness? 90 or 60 Hz?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
Auto brightness can go beyond the max than manual max brightness.

When under sun, auto brightness likely will max out.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
I have Manual brightness (between Half and 3/4) and it's mostly inside but combined with outside. I have the display on 90hz currently. Today I was outside mostly with manual brightness and 90hz, screenshot attached
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Thanks. I read about AMOLEDs killing batteries on auto brightness in full sun. However, I can still see display is on first place in battery section in your case. AMOLEDs are ****, IPS in Redmi Note 8 Pro still needs half of that, offers much better sharpness and is even more colorful. And I doubt it's high class IPS considering Redmi Note 8 Pro price...!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
The theme difference also contribute to battery drain.

Dark theme has lower battery consumption than white theme in OLED.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] 4K2K:
LCD is mature old technology. It's been around so long and all the manufactures make equally top notch panels. While AMOLED is the future, only a few companies can make high quality ones. Tianma certainly is not one of them.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
GGo

Good point. It's probably easy now to make cheap good looking LCD. I remember old LCDs. Disaster. However, AMOLED is on markets for a while and I really didn't expect such bad display in - all in all - lite version of flagship Xiaomi phone...!

I'm in touch with Xiaomi support. I asked for possible workaround like swap my phone for one with Huaxing display. They kind of agreed with my email and promised to let me know if they can do something for me after I pointed issues and showed that Redmi Note 8 Pro display just looks much better. Also they were "surprised" (ekhm...) about such higher energy consumption. They know now users are aware of problem so maybe they will act. I really want this phone because of weight but - damn - with display just a bit on par with the rest...! Huaxing meets retina standard so that should be fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
Be sure not to tell them how you find this out.

Or else in the future, they will hide it, or patch it.

Even eventually they will find out, but the longer it keeps hidden, the less burden to find out the manufacture for everyone else in the future.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] 4K2K:
They will not act. This issue is nothing compared to Redmi Note 7 Pros' touch problems (again, same panel lottery with Tianma screens) and they did not do anything then.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Vodafone UK agreed to swap my phone because of "faulty screen". I tried to explain it's not faulty but that's just worse type of screen but they were pushing for phone exchange. In the end I have no idea if it makes any chance because I doubt they are aware of problem and will send me random item not the one with Huaxing display. Hard to sort out this problem somehow.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] overdrives:
Got mine from Xiaomi France, "to be sure".

Got Tianma screen.

I'm kinda mad, considering sending it back.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I can't see anybody here with Huaxing unfortunately. Would be nice to see photo or video comparison Huaxing vs Tianma.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
Mine as well, ordered the Limited edition but it came with Tianma too goddamnit.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Mine replacement phone was supposed to be delivered today but I'm delaying courier as I'm not sure if makes any sense to swap current phone to find out that they send me another Tianma phone. I doubt same vendor (Vodafone) might have phones with displays from 2 different manufacturing. Unlikely.

If you ordered directly from Xiaomi, you might be lucky to push them to send Huaxing. I'm sure they are already aware their little trick was already uncovered. It's almost everywhere in comments now that display is **** and it stops people from buying this phone. It's sad because it's a perfect design but Xiaomi decided to silently cut corners and it backfires now. Or quality control totally failed.

BTW: I haven't seen any users with Huaxing Mi 11 Lite 5G so looks like it's pretty non existent phone version which probably reached reviewers. It might be more expensive to manufacture displays with Pentile instead of RGB Delta.

Also we haven't seen comparison of those so maybe in general display of this phone can't be considered good.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] doclucas:
That's not accurate. @JoudaCZE reported on this thread that he received Huaxing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vinamilk:
Mine was Huaxing, M2101K9G (global).

Display is fine. Texts are sharp and clear even with tiny and thin font.

Battery is also very good. SOT ~ 6h30 with dual sim, 4G all day. I'm not a gamer.

qcom,mdss_dsi_k9_42_02_0b_mp_dsc_cmd
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Xelycs:
Huaxing screens must be much more efficient than Tianma, because I have trouble exceeding 5H SOT on a day with Wifi, with a light use (without gaming...)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] dannejanne:
I also have a M2101K9G with Huaxing screen. It's sharp and clear in fact it's a very good display.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Could you please post good quality photo of your screen if you have Huaxing screen? Especially smaller text.

Seems like everybody with Tianma screen are disappointed and 180 degrees different when they have Huaxing. WTF Xiaomi, that's ridiculous, sales of this phone will be bad because of this mess.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] dantay999:
Got my Mi 11 lite 5G yesterday and requested return today, small text is basically zigzag. Gonna get a POCO F3 instead. I understand having 2or even 3 different screen vendors but not different sub-pixel designs. By far the worst OLED I have ever seen, it’s a shame as the design of the phone is really nice.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] raphaelmo:
Anyone here got refund from Amazon? Can you share what you did to?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I made a photo comparison Redmi Note 8 Pro and Mi 11 Lite 5G (TIANMA). Unfortunately camera in my old LG V20 is not good enough. In reality RN8P display is sharper and this red tint doesn't exist in Lite 5G (just a bit yellowish).

However, it's still well visible that this display is clearly worse.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vinamilk:
Here are 2 shots of my phone, Huaxing screen.

One was taken by IP X and other by 6s+. IP's cam s*ck but you can see the detail and sharpness are very good.

p/s : look at center of pics only, due to IP cam's blurry Increased from center to edge.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
When comparing photos, use same MIUI color settings and viewing same photo and same page to compare how the screen perform.

For example, most people have settings like these ones, the pecinl picture is good enough to distinguish:
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vinamilk:
Detail and sharpness of display is not effected by color scheme. It is hardware and technological related.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
I got 7h sot easy with tianma, so i don't think one type is more efficient than other.

Different use makes the difference, dark/light mode, 90hz, wifi, 4g/5g, signal strenght, aod, background apps and social media apps, notifications, google/xiaomi services....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
I know, but when comparing stuff, you better control the variable values.

Control group and compare group.

Let's say one phone set brightness to minimum, and the other one set to maximium.

So is the minimum set phone not brighter than the maximum set one? No, can't compare in this stage.

Another example: one phone is put in all white. The other is put in showing a colorful picture.

Is the white phone screen not good as the one showing picture? Can't tell.

It's not showing the same picture, so how can you compare?

Technology related, sure, but you need good camera to take the photo of the screen to see the small pixels.

Your photos cannot show the very tiny pixels clearly when I look at it.

Which type of screen are these one each?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
I found this:

Is this the "good" panel?

Thanks for helping. ☺️

Aci
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
Good.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
Thank you. ☺️
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Could you post photo of your display? Text visible would be appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
@sirgoldi

If you mean me... No, i can't, I don't have a good camera that could show the display good, sorry. But I can say that I never had the feel that the display is bad or unsharp.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] doclucas:
@Sitara_Aci_La_Rose @vinamilk

Where did you buy your phone with the Huaxing display?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Anybody in UK have Huaxing? If so, where did you buy?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
@doclucas

In Germany in a shop called "Saturn"
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
Agree with you on that one. AMOLED feels worse in terms battery compared to RN8Pro's LCD. Today I had automatic brightness on, most of time it triggered on maximum due to bright sun and this is the result. I also think map like apps are eating battery a lot too. Phone still manages to last most of the day 🤔
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
I have and bought it from belsimpel.nl (gomibo.co.uk) from Netherlands, they guarantee next day delivery if ordered before 18:00 and the phone is also cheaper for some reason. Although had to send it for "repairs" where instead they sent me new phone (this is not ad btw)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
Indeed, I have with huaxing now. Because noticeably it's better in resolution compared to RGB delta - which feels blurry
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Thanks. I've got one from Vodafone and I don't think they have any phones with Huaxing display but will see. They sent replecement... So you first got TIANMA and then HUAXING and can confirm it is noticable difference? I see both display are **** in terms of battery consumption. This AMOLED hype is crazy, those displays don't deserve the fame they have!

BTW: I see you also do Just Eat. :-) (m)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Xelycs:
I don't understand why everyone thinks the oled is so great, when it has so many problems:

- Limited life span (risk of burning if an image remains too static...)

- The problems of Black Crush, Black Smearing

- Health concerns related to the use of PWM (which causes migraines for many people)

- The lower definition than an LCD (because of the use of PenTile, and in RGB Delta it is even worse)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Let me add a few more things.

- it's force you to use black mode as much as you can otherwise you get much higher battery consumption in light conditions

- when you make a photo, LCD shows you roughly the same what your eyes tell you while still maintaining great colours but not oversaturated or bleak

- worse for eyes (in my case)

- terrible, "dirty and yellowish" whites

- more expensive to manufacture

Big advantage in dark conditions is amazing black colour.

Theoretically AMOLEDs make phones thinner but I remember fantastic LG panels which were really thin and light. Disadvantage was temporary image retention which could be easily sorted you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
For me it was noticeable difference, as normal AMOLED's are worse in resolution the RGB feels blurry instead. Not sure how to explain it, you can try confirming if you have huaxing through the dial when you input the *#*#284#*#* which creates that bug file .zip

Unzip the file, there might be another zip file with the same name .zip, unzip that one too and open "dumpstate_board.txt" then try search "TIANMA" if that is unsuccessful then try "K9 42 02" if it found these numbers, then it is Huaxing.

If it isn't clear what I said I can try explain it better 😅

Btw: yes I started doing just eat recently
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Thanks but I've already checked and it's Tianma. Had to be considering everything is blurry. In Vodafone they have no idea what I'm talking about so they just send probably another Tianma...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
Another Tianma, then repeat return process until Huaxing popup. Or complaint for refund. :p
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I'm not sure if that's even possible that Vodafone will send phone with Huaxing. They probably got one batch of same phones with Tianma. They sent me replacement phone but they have no idea about any display issues so...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
They have no idea about the issue, but have to deal with complaint, especially repeated. :p

If this phone is a burden to you, get refund and try other phones or wait for another goods.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Will see. I like this phone because of weight but also considering Poco F3 GT as Dimensity 1100 is even more powerful and I like LCD display. But it's heavier so I don't know. Also I can't return it permanently because I won't get free promotional Mi Band 6 so if they won't deliver item with proper advertised screen I will sell it after receiving Mi Band 6.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shokmah:
Bought Green version from online mi com store ( france and only 8GB sold here) .

I got the K9 42 02 so HUAXING.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
Thanks for the feedback, mine was also bought from Mi France and it came with Tianma. I ordered it in black.

What is your feedback on the screen quality? does it look sharp?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
You don't know what screen you will get before unboxing.

Schrödinger's cat

:sneaky:
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Would be amazing to finally see comparison Tianma Vs Huaxing. However, it's impossible to show by average user as we, all affected, try to swap Tianma phones and can't have both at the same time. One reviewer just mentioned this, show example Vs K40 display and that's it, no follow through. I'm wondering what was their source of knowing that (video in 1st post).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] kestrelv2:
I got the tianma screen and i have to say im wondering if some of you are blowing this way out of proportion because it doesn't seem bad at all.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
For someone who spends a lot of time in front of screens I can easily admit that my eyes get tired after 5 minutes looking at this phone screen due to blurry text and disturbed white textures.

My former device has a far better panel, it even has DC Dimming, referring to Mi 9 lite.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Exactly this. Tired eyes and in general disturbing screen. I would even ignore **** display compared to Redmi Note 8 Pro as I enjoy phone weight. But this display just makes me eyes sooo tired.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
So got replacement phone. Another ****ing blurry Tianma. I can't stand this phone, I'm done with it and selling after I get free Mi Band 6. This is absolutely joke Xiaomi to release midranger with such low (effective ) res display which affects your eyesight. I'm done with this lottery of having normal or affected phone. I just can't like this phone and let my eyes suffer because manufacturer acts like there is no problem at all.

I'm thinking about OnePlus 8. It's nicely priced now.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] overdrives:
Sent the black one back to Xiaomi France.

Ordered a green one from Orange .... and it's the garbage screen again.

I would give up and buy another brand if there were other affordable lightweight 90Hz.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Xiaomi created phone to love and hate at the same time. I can't imagine now changing for another typical 200g phone, damn.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Monaco72:
Hi Guys. I discovered the forum here and the people who are also not entirely satisfied with the mi 11 lite 5g and the oled display.

My display feels relatively sharp and easy to read. But knowing that is a drama. Check out my review below. I took a few pictures and maybe someone will see which display was installed on me.

I have had the mi 11lite 5g in black with 8gb and 128gb for a good 5 weeks.

Before that, I used a low budget xiaomi Redmi note 7 for a good 2 years, which accompanied me very well and was very satisfied.

Since xiaomi has only been releasing larger and heavier devices lately, I have not yet been able to decide on a new device!

Then the xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g was introduced and I was blown away by the weight of the device. The size is only slightly larger than my redmi note 7.

My experiences in the 2 weeks are as follows.

Optics. Holding a very beautiful and light device in your hand is a dream.

Display! At first I was a little disappointed! After years of using an LCD display, I had promised myself a slightly bigger wow effect from the oled. Yes black is black.

But somehow my display has a slight hint of green with the color white! (Very minimal)

Then I dealt a little more with the settings for color. Lo and behold, there is an extended mode where you can control the RGB colors individually. I only turned the full bar back minimally for green and lo and behold, the touch of the green tinge is gone.

It doesn't seem to be optimally calibrated at the factory or it is due to my device !?

Let's get to the speakers.

They are really good and can be loud without consuming. Bass shouldn't be expected from such a thin device.

I think the quality of the conversation is very good. The person you are speaking to can be heard loud and clear, and the other person confirms that they are easy to understand.

The camera takes good pictures and is only a little exaggerated with one of the colors! That would be green, what you could see in the test.

I was impressed with the video recordings, the microphone quality! You can hear what is spoken clearly.

Up until now, xiaomi would have always had problems, which was also a bit better with a pocco f3 with an additional microphone, but not great either.

In terms of power consumption, I can only compare it with my old redmi note 7, which consumes a little more. Well, the device also has completely different performance data.

However, I am impressed with my old redmi note 7 how economical the device is, with a very old snapdragon 660 process and 4000 mAh battery.

Conclusion. Since the mi 11lite 5g is still relatively new, some updates and optimizations will certainly come here and there.

For me personally, it's the perfect device.

Only wireless charging would have been the icing on the cake, what they could have given the device.

This may come with the next model, the mi 12 lite .........
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shokmah:
It's sharp enough for me. the only screen I can compare to is the 442ppi 5" amoled that comes with yotaphone 2 and pretty much the same for me.

I can notice the pixels if I get as close as 20cm or so from screen but I almost never do that as you cannot see the whole screen.

as mater of fact I use dark mode like 99.999% of time (and amoled theme for apps that allow it)

dunno if it affects my perception.

beside this, videos and photos look neat so far.

this phone is light and almost perfect (miui have too many bugs)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] cabezazo:
Considering Mi 11 Lite 5G's differential features (uncommonly thin & light profile with high refresh rate OLED screen + 5G) and the fact that Xiaomi is not promoting / flash deal discounting it (as opposed to other Mi 11 series phones, at least here in Spain) makes me think there's something wrong they're (hopefully) trying to address before giving it more exposure. From a business perspective, that'd make sense if they wanted to minimize negative impact on the company.

For whatever's worth, here you are a link to a thread in Spanish concerning issues with Mi 11 Lite 5G (Mi Community)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Looks like ultra low profile (especially considering not that small battery even for today standards) come with a few problems. As you said that might be the reason when they are careful about promoting this device. Looking at Xiaomi's portfolio, this is kind of experiment.

Anybody got MIUI 12.5 in Europe? I'm in UK (phone from Vodafone) and still on 12.0.2.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] rayman95:
You can force update.. flash on the phone or with fastboot
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
Vodafone MIUI might be special made. Only when Vodafone release the update, then you can get it.

If you check update and there's no update after 12.0.2.0, then that's it for now for Vodafone official version.

If you want to try the newer 12.5.1.0 version, you have to unlock bootloader and flash other region ROMs.

And about locking bootloader after flashing EEA or global, personally will not risk it. But there's success case in other phone models as written here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/mi-9-locked-to-vodafone.3972347/

NEVER lock bootloader when you have a non-China region phone with China ROMs.
