The best Xiaomi smartphone for photos is...
Is photography your great passion, but carrying several kilos of gear is starting to wear you down? We’ve got a solution! Xiaomi smartphones, besides being lightweight, highly efficient, and stylishly designed, also boast excellent photographic capabilities—keeping pace with today’s DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Resolutions of 50MP (and even 108MP), a wealth of shooting modes, and diverse lenses have long been standard on our phones, proving they’re perfectly suited to creating fantastic-quality photos. Want to know the best Xiaomi smartphones for photos? Read on and check out our undisputed TOP 3!
Redmi Note 11 Pro
It’s the newest and also the most budget-friendly phone in this roundup. The lower price of the Redmi Note 11 Pro doesn’t translate into worse photos—in fact, quite the opposite, as the lens specs clearly show. The 108MP main camera won’t miss even the tiniest detail. With it, you can capture stunning scenes even in the most challenging light. That’s thanks to three advanced technologies (dual native ISO, 9-in-1 pixel binning, large 1/1.52" sensor) that ensure every frame comes out absolutely perfect. But the Redmi Note 11 Pro isn’t just about one lens! In addition to the main camera, it includes two extra lenses (ultra-wide and macro), letting you shoot the full spectrum of unique shots—from sweeping panoramas to microscopic marvels.
Xiaomi 11T
We couldn’t leave out last year’s favorite—which still draws praise. Thanks to camera-phone rankings, it consistently scores highly. Just a brief hands-on with the Xiaomi 11T will quickly convince you that it delivers superb results! Inside this minimalist body lies a full arsenal of possibilities at your fingertips. The professional-grade 108MP camera guarantees true works of art just a tap away. The phone does the magic for you, capturing beautifully rendered colors and rich detail. And that’s only the beginning! The Xiaomi 11T camera system also includes two more lenses that perfectly round out the setup. The 8MP ultra-wide (120°) with an excellent Night Mode 2.0 is your ticket to perfect night photography, while the 5MP telemacro opens up the secrets of the miniature world. Plus, extra rear-camera features like time-lapse, HDR, AI photo cloning, and PRO mode will spark your creativity—turning seemingly simple shots into small works of art.
Xiaomi 12
Its presence here won’t surprise anyone. Beneath the subtle, pastel back of the Xiaomi 12 lies everything you could want. The phone’s very shape, finish, and rounded edges provide a comfortable grip—and greater comfort while shooting. Look closer and it only gets better… The main camera is true PRO-level gear; thanks to its large sensor, you’ll create top-tier shots. What’s more, elements like a 50MP resolution, 4-in-1 Super Pixel binning, and an ƒ/1.88 aperture work together to deliver the highest image quality. The next lens—(telemacro)—is all about revealing the macro world, and with autofocus (3–7 cm), 5MP resolution, and an f/2.4 aperture, it handles it with ease. The final lens, the ultra-wide, is a nod to fans of interior, architecture, and landscape photography. A 123° field of view and 8MP resolution let you capture even the widest, most breathtaking vistas in a single frame.
