Mi 11 Ultra was launched in India in April. Its shipments have been delayed in India, Xiaomi has announced. The phone comes with a small secondary display at the back and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.
Xiaomi is no newbie in the premium smartphone segment, but in India it is not so well known for its flagship offerings as it wasn’t until recently that this Chinese technology company started bringing such products here. Expanding its premium smartphone portfolio, the company recently launched the Mi 11 Ultra in India. Touted as ‘the Superphone’, this flagship smartphone is brimful with industry-leading features and specifications. That said, the Mi 11 Ultra is capable of beating other premium smartphones on more parameters than one, but the real-life experience shows it wanting in some areas. Beginning with strengths, the Mi 11 Ultra is a spectacular smartphone with regard to display, audio, imaging, performance, and battery efficiency.

Let s quickly go over the specs of all the telephoto cameras in our comparison. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, as you might already know, has two 10-megapixel telephoto cameras. The first one offers 3X optical zoom, while the second has a periscope lens and offers 10X optical zoom. The latter lens is what lets it achieve a dizzying 100X digital zoom. The Mi 11 Ultra has only the one periscope-style telephoto camera capable of 5X optical zoom and a crazy 120X digital zoom.
Vivo s flagship X60 Pro+ also has two telephoto cameras. The first is a 32-megapixel camera with a 2X optical zoom lens, which Vivo calls a portrait lens. The second 8-megapixel periscope camera has a 5X optical zoom, and it can go all the way to 60X. This may not be as headline-grabbing as the maximum zoom on the other two phones, but we ll let the images do the talking.
A side benefit of this is that the Mi 11 Ultra is stable when using it on its back on a flat surface. You can even use the bottom of the camera module as support for your finger when using this phone one-handed. Fingerprints are a big problem on the Ceramic Black variant, but you can also get the Mi 11 Ultra in white, which should hide them better.
On the right side of the camera module is a 1.1-inch (126x294 pixel resolution) OLED display. This mini touchscreen automatically lights up when you place the Mi 11 Ultra face down on any surface. It can be customised to show the battery level, notifications, date and time, a custom message, or an image. You can also use it to answer or reject an incoming call. Most importantly, you can use it as a viewfinder for taking a selfie with either of the three rear cameras. It s largely a gimmicky addition, and looks like it was added mainly to fill the empty space at the back. I also didn t like the fact that the menu system for customising

The Mi 11 Ultra is Xiaomi’s answer to Samsung’s latest flagship Galaxy S21 Ultra, that too at a much lower price. Price is not the only area where Xiaomi seems to have the Galaxy S21 Ultra beat, it also has its over the top features like a quick preview display at the back. But not all is good, the phone does heat up like a saucepan. Also Read - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra in pictures review: A good flagship smartphone with few drawbacks
