It can capture 8K videos, Xiaomi said. </p><p>The main camera is backed with artificial intelligence which gives users the power to create &quot;cinematic&quot; content, used to be achieved by expensive equipment, within just a mobile device.</p><p>It also has a 2x telephoto lens which can also be used for macro shots, and a 120° ultra-wide angle lens.</p><p>What can you get with a 108MP camera? </p><p>Here is a photo of the Taal volcano spewing ash. Zoom in and you&#x27;d be able to details such as this tourist with his face shield.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="The Taal Volcano was photographed using the 108MP setting of the Xiaomi 11T Pro.

About 10 years ago, you needed a huge camera, a cameraman and a dolly to perform this effect. Now, it can be achieved with just a phone. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1968615" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><div style="text-align:center"><em>An attempt at the Xiaomi 11T Pro&#x27;s Magic Zoom feature</em></div><p>As a former TV producer, I can say that the Xiaomi 11T Pro is definitely a must tool for those who would like to take their video content-creation up a notch. </p><p>Since it&#x27;s simple to use, anyone who uploads videos on social media will enjoy the convenient interface. </p><p>Other video features include split-screen for when content creators need to collaborate with another person. I just wish this was also available on the photo mode, too. </p><p>There are tons of other AI features such as the mirror video effect.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="A screenshot of the mirror video effect" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/news/03/19/20220319-screenschot-mobile-xiaomi.jpg"/><figcaption>A screenshot of the mirror video effect</figcaption></figure></div><div><strong>POWER MONSTER</strong></div><p>But I was blown away by how quickly it can juice up its 5,000 mAh battery.</p><p>I plugged it, wrote a story, and it was fully charged when I finished the same article in approximately less than 20 minutes. Xiaomi said it can charge as fast as 17 minutes. It&#x27;s probably true.</p><p>I tried timing it the second time around, but I got a different result using a different socket and a different adapter.</p><p>It did not come with a compatible Philippine plug with two flat pins but officials have said they may consider including it in the package if there’s demand for it. </p><p>One charge lasted me a few hours of monitoring lawmakers grill face shield suppliers for alleged overpricing in a Senate during the day as well as a few episodes of the Carringtons&#x27; plot for world domination in Dynasty streaming on Netflix that night.</p><p>Xiaomi said it can last 12 to 18 hours under moderate use.
