So you need to make your expectations accordingly. Iphone 12, Mi 11, S20 FE and Note 20 and Mate 40 are affordable flagships. I understand they have better camera specs/systems. But they have inferior displays, build quality and performance and charging/battery

          Mi 11 is positioned as flagship.

          1. Huawei does have NM cards. They are getting cheaper.
          2, 3. I don't care if any phone doesn't have 8K60, I need it.
          4. Huawei pretty much best at night modes.
          5. Everyone have it. It's called digital zoom. But you didn't get me. What i was saying that there is no need for 28 mm additional camera, if there is high quality, high resolution 14 mm camera. If you can't fit all cameras, better fit one good ultra wide.
          6. Mi 11 doesn't worth even $500. Red price is $450.
          7. Everything's fine with software. Moreover I prefer EmUI dialer than MIUI. Aside that they are pretty much the same.
          8. That's unfortunate. But look, only kids needs customizations.
          9. But Huawei has best ultra wide cameras.
          10. Huawei has far more. I didn't mention iPhone. But it's still have fully featured camera setup comparing to Mi.
          11. 17 mm, but it's still ultrawide. And P40 Pro has huge 1/1.54" ultrawide sensor. While Mi 11 ultrawide is substandard. It's worse than even 2-year old P30. And as I was saying before - the my main factor of upgrading to P50 will be that good ultrawide camera and compact design. Still yet to see what they will offer.
          12. At least you can use it on a day. Mi 11 doesn't have any at all.
          13. There is.
          14. Sometimes. But white balance isn't hard setup. But still quality outblows everything out there on the market.
          15. Mi 11 wouldn't be better. And ultrawide, again, is just a trash.
          16. Still yet to see how SD888 goes. But only kids gaming. Yet kids can't afford that kind of devices.
          17. 60 Hz is more than enough.
          18. No much difference. It's still 400+ ppi.
          19. There are. But really pointless. Nobody doing Photoshop on phone display.
          20. Actually right opposing. As I said ultrawide angle cameras have very short focal distance. So upclose I can shoot subpixels.
          21. What's even that?
          22. Yeah, there are. Still better than Mi 11.
          23. The result is that Apple and Huawei are fitting better configuration into much smaller body. That is engineering.
          24. No one is perfect. But this could be fine for Redmi or Poco flagship, but not as Mi flagship.

              Actually, the Mi 10 Ultra looks more tempting than the Mi 11 at this point.

                Well... The reviews are out and the camera is a disappointment. Apart from that, it looks like a great deal if you can get it for $650.

                    1. Microsd slot
                    2. No 8k30fps
                    3. No 8k60fps
                    4. No njght mode video
                    5. No high resolution for cropping
                    6. $1100 price compared to $700 on Mi 11
                    7. No easy software to use (Huawei)
                    8. No enough customization (Iphone)
                    9. Ultrawide camera is trash even with night mode (iphone)
                    10. Zoom only 2x even for an high end device
                    11. Not so wide ultrawide (huawei)
                    12. 5x zoom useless at night (huawei)
                    13. No OIS on main camera (huawei)
                    14. Weird colours in photos and videos (huawei)
                    15. Always need to rely on night mode at night (iphone)
                    16. Thermal throttle after only 20 minutes of gaming (iphone)
                    17. Only 60hz and 90hz of refresh rate
                    18. Lower than QHD+ resolution
                    19. No 10 bit colour display
                    20. Huawei has bad focusing when up close
                    21. Water coloury effect on detail on huawei phones before Mate 30 Pro
                    22. Oversharpening on IPhone photos



                    At the end, you shouldn't complaim about Mi 11 being an midrange device. An camera system doesn't matter, what Matters is the results. If you only complain about an 108 MP + 13MP ultrawide + 5 mP macro, why not complain about Iphone 12/ Pixel 5? And you can even download GCAM. Those phones mentioned have weaker chipsets, inferior display, and worse charging yet costs more. Complain all you want, Huawei/Apple Fanboy. Every phone has a weakness. No phone is perfect

                              Yeah, well, personally I am waiting for the Mi 11 Pro based one with a pop up camera, the Poco F2 Pro successor.

                              Factory broken/butchered display very little for me...
