Xiaomi’s 11T Pro with 120W fast charging finally set to launch outside of Europe

Xiaomi has started teasing the launch of its 11T Pro outside Europe. To recall, it was first released in Europe in September last year as the first smartphone with 120-watt fast charging for its 5,000mAh battery. Nearly four months after the release, it is all set to go official in India on January 19.

More recently, Xiaomi India took to Twitter to tease the launch of the 11T Pro, marketing it as the ‘The Hyperphone” for its blazing-fast charging speed. It’s expected to be launched in three storage variants of 8GB RAM/28GB storage, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB. In Europe, it is an upper-midrange smartphone that starts at 649 euros, but it’s likely to be priced lower in India.

It takes a revolution to create a powerful smartphone like this.

While Xiaomi India will be disclosing more Mi 11T Pro features in the coming days, it is likely to be similar to the European version. It comes equipped with a 6.6-inch FHD+ 120Hz 10-bit AMOLED display with Dolby Vision, and Gorilla Glass Victus. The smartphone is powered by last year’s flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, paired with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage.

On the camera front, it sports a triple rear camera setup that is led by a 108-megapixel primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle lens, and a 5MP macro camera. Plus, you get a 16MP selfie shooter. Other features include Dolby Atomos-supported dual stereo speakers tuned by Harmon Kardon, and MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

The Xiaomi 11T Pro will be competing against the likes of OnePlus 9RT, which is also launching in the same week in India, bringing another competitive midrange phone to the market.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look
Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
