TL, DR;

I don't know if within Tianma screens there are better and worst screens but I can say that my phone has Tianma and it's a pretty good screen.

Hi there!

I found this post the same day that I had ordered a Mi 11 Lite 5G. At first I felt dissapointed, I have a very good sight, I feel uncomfortable with blurry screens or blurry lines... but then I thought "Well, I'm gonna use it some days. If I like it without checking what kind of screen it has, I will keep it. If not, I will return it".

I came from an Iphone X (that suffered a horrible accident...) which didn't have a bad screen at all:

iPhone X: Super Retina blahblbah 5.8", 1125x2436, 458 ppi

Mi 11 L: AMOLED 6.55", 1080x2400, 402 ppi

Having those numbers in mind I was ready for a similar display but not a better one. I found a nice, colorfull, sharp screen, mostly readable under sunlight.... Nothing to worry about, I wouldn't miss the iPhone X screen.

Three days after the first use, and knowing that I wasn't gonna return it, I checked what screen it has. I was convinced that my screen was a "Huaxing" one. Well... I was wrong, it was a Tianma xD

As I said I have a very good sight and I can't stand blurry texts (like the ones you got on a fresh PC before installing the GPU drivers) and I can't find any problem with the "bad" display. I show you some pictures I managed to shot with a Sony ILCE 5100. You can clearly check the pattern my screen has. Of course, text it's blurry at that distance but at plain sight you CAN'T see those pixels, so text is sharp and nice.

I also checked those problems about screen showing some green patterns in black backgrounds or not going full black in no-HDR videos. I couldn't find any of them. HDR videos in Youtube show a perfect image (I recommend you to check the LG OLED ones) and no-HDR videos show full black when needed.

About the battery usage: I charged the phone 100% after the first use. As I came from iOS I have to download every app again, synch back ups, test the new camera, new menus, blahblahblah... At 19% my Screen On Time was 6 hours 10 minutes. Today, for instance, I have been listening music during 1 hour, I recorded some videos, etc... At 60% the SOT is 2 hours 31 minutes and most of the time with the brightness at 100% as I was under sunlight. Those numbers are using "dark mode" on every app. I don't know if they are good or bad but for me it's enough.

My phone has MIUI 12.5.3. It's from august and I bought it on Fnac in Spain. If you have any question or do you want any more test just tell me ;)

PD: I'm spanish, sorry for the writing mistakes xD
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Stevex26:
I recently bought a Mi 11 Lite 5G (still waiting for it) but I've just discovered this thread. If I get a Tianma screen do you think I should return it? Is it really that bad? I come from an old Xiaomi Mi 6 so I'll definitely see a difference in terms of display.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
nobody can answer that for ya. use it, try it, if you like it keep it, if you dont return it.

im on a 4g with tianma cant complain. im comparing mine with a 1080p 6+" ips display i had on my old phone, text looks the same. screen feels better since it's amoled and 90hz.

the mi 6 is very small for a 1080p display so you may notice a difference. you cant check the screen type without unboxin it anyway so just use it and see for yourself.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Stevex26:
Apparently I was lucky this time because I got a Huaxing display! It looks pretty good and didn't notice any issue so far. White tends to be more yellowish, even if you set cool colors in settings, but I think I'll just have to get used to it, while black is actually black (unlike the typical grey I had in LCD screens).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] ADINI_PL:
I have two mi 11 lite 5g phones and both are Huaxing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
You hit the jackpot!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] whoadood:
I bought a Mi 11 Lite 11 5G from mi.com in Spain. First thing I did was take the bug report. Unfortunately, this one comes with a Tianma screen.

K9 detect panel MDPPLATFORM_PANEL_K9_TIANMA_NT37701_MP_FHD_PLUS_DSC_CMD

DisplayDxe: K9 36 02 0a C0 amoled dsc cmd

Already working on getting my money back.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Is it bad?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] whoadood:
The first smartphone I've ever had with a blurry screen. In old smartphones with low ppi you could see the pixels, but at least they were crisp.

This is completely unacceptable.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
i think there are 2 batches of tianma screens.

all users complaining have the k9 36 02 while all who say it's not bad - me included have a "k9a" screen...

which kinda makes sense if they fixed something?

the guys with bad screens, which month is yours - see phone box? if im right they are early batches.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] whoadood:
My tianma K9 36 02 is from May - perhaps you are right.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] AzureLeMoon:
hey there, could you please tell me what your phones production month is ?

im on 2021.04 and i have black crush problems on tianma but no blurry text
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
2021.04

same here, text is fine, black crush is there, but i dont notice it much in custom rom + auto brightness (not on max)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] cencull:
I have "fixed" k9a tianma 4g version and i,m satisfied with display. Not sure about battery tho... after two charges, battery health is 91% - 3857 mAh (original 4250).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Mine is already at 3730! Going down 10 mAh every charge. 3500 incoming. WTF. Waiting until 80% and it goes back under warranty.

So many hidden lies about this phone. Lightweight design comes with so many flaws.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I have no words.

1. Took me a lot of effort to finally get Huaxing after Tianma fails 2. Battery is bad and not surprised as it shows 3730 mAh after 2 months use instead of 4250 mAh. 3. Netflix movies mainly in HDR look like disaster, black crush is killing whole experience 4. Just tried Prime Video - all content is being played in like 360p or 480p max, blurry as hell

I'm so fu**** tired of this phone. I'm close to selling it, forget and get something not from Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
Hi guys, how do you check battery health?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
AccuBattery. No need to trust it blindly but in my case constant drop in battery health is at least concerning. It monitors charge process so it's accurate more or less.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] whoadood:
This is my third Xiaomi phone. I've sold/returned all of them. I keep trying to like Xiaomi phones, seeing they are extremely popular, but Xiaomi don't seem to be able to manufacture quality hardware. I will wait for the Pixel 5a and call it a day.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Anybody experience problem also with Amazon Prime Video? All content is being displayed in maximum 360p/480p.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JaviBonus:
Yep. Youtube works great, even without black crush (at least in the videos I have watched) but Prime doesn't work in HD. Not in wifi, not in 4G.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I reported this to Amazon and Xiaomi, also HDR issue to Netflix. Of course they say it should work but they will look into that. This is unacceptable if they won't fix it. It's not a £100 phone even if that's a Lite version.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Reply from Amazon. Wow, how is that possible? Also no confirmation whether it will be or not.

Hi Szymon,

Gizmochina previewed new Mi 11 Lite 5G NE. SD778 is slower (GPU) but offers better battery life what is weird considering 6 nm instead 5 nm. Everything is the same besides SoC. Everything including... display. Delta RGB is BACK. :D Just can't believe it. They clearly don't check XDA forum to find out about issues. Let's see if all phones will be RGB Delta or lottery again. :D

It must be explanation for this. I think one is weight, second is how thin this phone is. I assume that Tianma might not be able to design display with different pixel arrangement to meet above due to manufacturing limits while Huaxing have technology but HDR is f**** and could be impossible to fix that for other technical reasons. Hence two types of displays as no manufacturer could design for them exactly what they wanted at least in such price range. Not an expert but maybe how thin AMOLED is also affects its final quality.

I'm still surprised they fit to that phone stereo speakers (loud!) and decent 4250 mAh battery. If Xiaomi launched NE version due to 5 nm shortage chipsets, Mi Lite 5G must be a success and as for now no competitor designed such light phone with large display. Coming back to 200 g brick would be really hard.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] abelkov:
I'm reading and reading... Have Tianma displays on 2 Poco X3 Pro. No blur what so ever. Not too bright as my old Nokia 8 screen, still very descent. Can someone show me a picture of a "faulty" tianma display cause i can't imagine your ptoblems?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Somebody put here screenshots Tianma Vs Huaxing side by side.

It's not necessary true that all displays made by Tianma. I don't think they only make Delta RGB displays. It's not a manufacturer, it's a pixel arrangement what causes problem. You might have Tianma Pentile display and those are much better (of course still worse than 1080p LCDs but that's normal. 1080p LCD = 1440p OLED in terms of resolution).

It's like with SoCs. 5 nm could be less efficient than 7 or 8 nm. Samsung does disappointing 5 nm so our SD 780G is far from perfect in terms of efficiency. SD778 6 nm offers around 15% better battery life but GPU performance is affected. This SoC is not made by Samsung.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] abelkov:
Mine are IPS... :) Poco x3 pro... :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Ah so this problem can't affect your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] xtremesystems:
how to check non rooted phone which display it has? i noticed someone checed via fastboot ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] whoadood:
You do not need to be rooted. You just need to enable usb debugging in developer options and use the "adb bugreport" command from your computer.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] SeaFargo:
Does anybody knows some up to date news on the new 11 Lite 5G NE display??
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] italodance:
Mine is:

DisplayDxe: K9A 42 02 0b mp amoled dsc cmd

What is it?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Yes, blurry Tianma is present again. Not sure about alternative display.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Huaxing. Sharper. Preferred by most of us.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] kingpenguin001:
I have ordered this phone just yesterday, and came to xda to find custom rom support.

Looking at this thread, the problem seems a genuine concern, and I'm now thinking why I ordered this device.

Im switching from Fajita to this phone.

My First xiaomi as my daily driver.

FIRST thing I'm going to do is run into debug and check for screen make!

Fingure crossed.!

Seems there are lot more potential issues with this phone.. Proximity sensor unavailable, battery drain, pocket mode unavailable..

Anyone else facing other basic functionality issues.

Edit : I have decided to cancel my order. I don't want to keep a phone with such petty issues as my daily driver.

✌️.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] italodance:
Tnx so it is the good one.

Although I have never had any issue with display since purchased my lite 4g in 3 months ago. All fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] xtremesystems:
Do I understand well, I have better screen?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Yes it's Huaxing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] medmed58:
Hello,

According to you. Diamond or RGB ? Photo taken with the microscope.

I also found this.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Huaxing, sharper.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Stevex26:
Does anybody know which display has the new 11 Lite 5G NE? Just curious.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Again bloody Delta. Not sure about supplier buy probably again Tianma. No confirmed Huaxing/Pentile in NE at this point.

This is where they cut costs in this phone. Display. Huaxing is better but also power hungry and is affected by HDR problems while Tianma not. In general those are average displays at most.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] medmed58:
Thank you for the answer.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] medmed58:
I apparently have a Huaxing/Pentile slab and I don't find the consumption excessive.

Before I had the Mi 9 lite, and I immediately saw a difference in screen quality. It's hard to describe the difference, it's subtle, but very visible for someone who is used to an Amoled screen.

For me it's as if the Mi 11 lite 5G had a little lack of contrast and sharpness.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Fingerprint sensor on mine mi 11 Lite 5g died after 2,5 months...I don't think I will buy Xiaomi phones soon...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
More and more reports about faulty fingerprint scanner in Mi 11 Lite 5G.

Is it hardware issue for sure? Did you try factory reset? Do you have warranty? Fortunately I have 2 years in UK so I don't care.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
According to Battery and performance tab Mi 11 Lite 5G display consumes 2.5x more energy compared to Redmi Note 8 Pro (LCD). This heavily affects overall battery life... In general this display clearly loses with RN8 Pro but pure blacks are nice feature for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Yes-factory reset and different Miui versions.Fingerprint option just dissapeared.Locked bootloader and returned to seller...They said it's broken.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
You mean disappeared in options? Seems like software issue to me.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
No,it's not.I found somewhere how to test sensor(tapping on kernel version I think) and got message "sensor test failed" or something like that.I've tried with different MIUI version before I locked bootlader and returned back to seller...Faulty unit.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Do you have a warranty?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Yes.They havent't had fingerprint sensor and they told me I need to wait for repair or refund.So I got my money back and bought another phone.This time no Xiaomi.This was 3rd Xiaomi phone I've used and I'm really dissapointed.Redmi Note 5 pro and A2 were solid phones,but they were cheap...Different display quality on same model,bad fingerprint sensor,many models have problems with proximity sensor,buggy Miui updates....I don't think Xiaomi can make quality phone with good software.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Mi 11 Lite 5G is unique in terms of weight. If somebody doesn't mind heavier phone, there are better alternatives for the price definitely.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] rmsnus:
Hi,

I have the following info from the dump of a new Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE.

DisplayDxe: SetupPlatformPanelConfig of MDPPLATFORM_PANEL_K9D_CSOT_VTDR6130_FHD_PLUS_DSC_CMD

DisplayDxe: K9D 36 02 0a amoled dsc cmd

Looks like a delta panel buy maybe from a new manufacturer than tianma. Is my understanding correct. Thanks.

Cheers,

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] salamipapiii:
are all the ne versions rgb delta? or are they the same lottery luck with the old 5g model with some being pentile and other rgb delta???
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
We don't know yet. As for now I haven't seen opinion that NE has any other display than RGB Delta.

We have to wait for more opinions to find out.

PS. My girlfriend's phone has Delta RGB and looking at that even for a while makes my eyes hurt. She... just doesn't care and accepts it. On the other hand she is supposed to wear glasses. :D
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
My former phone was also a Mi 9 Lite and I can clearly state that beside everything else the screen was a noticeable downgrade.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
One reason can be cost cutting, another reason could be phone thickness. Not sure if that's the case but maybe there are differences between displays in terms of thickness. Thinner display could be less capable in general.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] salamipapiii:
dang haha was actually thinking of getting the ne but after hearing this i think i'll pass

ps. i haven't seen any reviewers mention anything about the display so i believe they were sent pentile ones while the consumer versions are delta ones. pretty scummy ngl
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Gizmochina found out about two display versions in Mi 11 Lite 5G. Then they reviewed NE and don't even mention about two versions so... NE has only Delta RGB apparently.

With Huaxing it's a really nice phone, unique thanks to its weight and it's only phone with Snap 780G so another "unique" feature but it doesn't mean it's better than 778 (offering better efficiency) but might be a sweet spot if you also want to play on phone (778 suffers with clearly worse GPU performance, like 30%). MIUI 12.5 Enhanced will fix some issues for sure and more or less 2 years software support should guarantee enough time until another 155 g phone appears.

People who used to 200 g phones don't even imagine how big game changer is almost 50 go less in hand especially if they use their phones a lot.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Anybody is still on 12.5.3 and not receiving 12.5.5? June security patch seems a bit outdated...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Has anyone ordered a 11 lite 5g from Xiaomi UK recently and received the Huaxing?

I feel like trying one at last. Currently have a Poco X3 Pro and the weight is annoying.

Are there newer Tianma that are better now?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Xiaomi, UK, green, 8/128, August, Huaxing
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shouk_1987:
I have preordered the 5g NE and should recieve it in 2 days and was checking xda threads for it

Then i found this thread which is really frustrating :(

This is beside seeing the fingerprint sensor that gets faulty on some units ( the non NE for now )

there is no other device with its value for money and the power effeciency of SD778 ( i am not a gamer )

Should i target the 128GB instead of the 256GB to cut some cost since the device is already a risky one ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Thanks. Can you tell me the manufacturing date on the box?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
I think I am going to pull the trigger on an original. They are £309 on Amazon at the moment. If the screen is crap I'll send it back.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Amazon Germany is doing a NE 6GB version for £270. Seems all the NE have delta screens. I think I'm going to pick up two originals from Amazon. A green and a black. I prefer black and if that has Huaxing I'll keep and send back the green. If black is delta I'll try green and cross my fingers.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] doomdogus:
Get all 3 colours, you'll have more chances and the citrus one is really nice in person =P
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
I snagged a NE for a bargain price. I just hope the screen is acceptable.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Tony D.U.Y:
Was it acceptable? The NE is on sale at my place so I'm considering it.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
I get it on Friday. I'll update the thread with my findings.

It will be interesting to compare it to my Poco X3 Pro which has a very sharp IPS screen.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shouk_1987:
I have just received the NE 128/8

How can i check the screen type ?

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Did you check it?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shouk_1987:
Mine seems to be the non Hauxing one as expected

My dump log file :

DisplayDxe : K9D 36 02 0a amoled dsc cmd

The real life difference fromy previous samsung s20 FE ( was stolen ) that the screen is less sharper and colors not that vivid

However it is not that annoying or can feel it during driver usage

Note that i have -0.25 in eye sight and i wear glasses during working on the PC only

Anyway i have asked for Mi unlock yesterday and need to wait for the silly one week duration
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Thanks for the update.

Yes it looks like all the NE are Tianma. Out of interest what colour for you get?

I should be getting mine tomorrow. I know it will be Tianma. I just hope I can live with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shouk_1987:
Truffle Black 128/8

There is no 256 for this color here

@vanpopel, yes RGB is better, for sure ! But the issue with RGB Delta is "Delta" :) The arrangement of the pixels in triangles seems to cause problems
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
Ok, good to know RGB delta is "problematic" display.

I compared with my old (2015) oneplus x, with amoled pentile display, and see mi 11 lite 5g much better (sharp, whites). Only color saturation is higher in opx (normal use).

I supose nowdays pentile displays have better technologies than 2015, and pass of the time can deteriorate opx display too.

-------------

EDIT:

I have taken some zooming pictures with a tz-10 camera of my old opx and mi 11 lite 5g. Two first images are mi 11 lite display and two last opx.

In all images, diference is evidence in favor of opx display.

Without zooming, normal use, I still see mi 11 lite 5G better, don't know why.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] VAVA332:
Hello guys. I'm new here and was wondering if I could benefit from your expert opinions!

I am looking at a mi 11lite 5g but now I see this whole discussion regarding Pentile VS RGB screens. Now, I'm wondering if I should hold off on getting one. I know this has been asked before but is there any chance I could know what type of display I would be getting? I live in Switzerland. MI 11 lite 5g is launching here in 3 weeks. Or, let's say I end up buying the phone, how do I figure out what type of Amoled display I have? Sorry if my question sounds a little stupid but I really have no idea what difference I can expect to see between a RGB and a Pentile screen. A second unrelated question.... Can you guys tell me if there is a legit difference ( I mean fully noticeable) between full HD and QHD? Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you guys. Many thanks!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
I'm not expert, but I only have listened about two display types in this thread and first post video. No reviews on the web mentions it (which is not to say that it is not true).

I have supposedly "bad" display and it feels excelent for me: bright, colors, sharpness, light and dark mode, refresh rate...

Here is a spanish review with global version (confirmed in comments by author) and it has pentile display (I am user who asks him).

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Xelycs:
I looked at the review, and it's definitely not PenTile. It's RGB Delta. Pentile (Diamond, most common) looks like this (less blue and red subpixels than green).

EDIT : I took the image from the review, zoomed it, and outlined the pixels to show that they are triangle shaped (yes, it is rather badly done but we understand the idea)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Dream Anime:
The 11 Lite 5G sold in China, displayed at Xiaomi’s home, uses a TCL华星光电（TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology screen）(Diamond). The 11 Lite 5G sold to consumers uses a screen (Delta) produced by 天马电子（Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd）.. It is not yet clear what is going on in other areas
