In the common imagination it is often associated with a cheap smartphone, poor performance and poor resistance. Fortunately, there are brave users who have been demonstrating for some time with their torture, how a low-mid-range terminal is sometimes even more resistant than the so-called top of the range.
In fact, in these hours, a test has appeared online that sees the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G as the protagonist, the cheapest one to be clear, characterized by a beautiful design and an extremely light weight, which could just suggest a poor resistance to scratches. , falls and even water, considering that none (or almost) of the Xiaomi-branded terminals offer an IP68 certification.
We recall among the specifications that Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite boasts a thickness of only 6,8 mm and a low weight of 157 grams, resorting to the stratagem of using light materials such as plastic. A very pleasant solution to handle and therefore ergonomic but which could suggest a poor resistance in general.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is tortured by demonstrating its resistance
No more chatter, in the video that appeared online, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite amazes with its degree of resistance that goes far beyond what is expected. For example, despite the water resistance stops at a trivial IP53, therefore resistance to splashes but not to diving, the Xiaomi device manages to work despite an immersion of over 5 minutes in water.
What unfortunately does not stand out, but neither does it disappoint, is the resistance to scratches: a protection on the front of a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 glass, nor the plastic on the back, is not enough to evade the scratches that are rather simple to impart to the device.
In any case, you can always use protective films and covers, while what is surprising is the resistance to falls and the tremendous bend test, that is to try to bend the body as much as possible to understand if it is subject to bending or even breakage. . Just the materials poco nobles just mentioned, return to Mi 11 Lite a high degree of resistance to these tests. In short, Mi 11 Lite is a difficult smartphone to break.
