Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 gets mostly warm reception, but many are waiting for the Pro

10 January 2021
A flagship has to have telephoto cameras, say many, and the Mi 11 Pro will bring a periscope to the party.

    Anonymous, 09 Jan 2021Surprisingly higher number of “No,Thanks”It's a poor sub-mid-range device utilize high-range brand. It's gigantic in size, unlike P non-pro series, it has very poor ultra-wide camera with very small sensor, it doesn't have telephoto camera, instead it has useless very poor macro camera just for a check, it doesn't have SD card support, which is needed for long video recording, it doesn't have 8K60 video recording.

    It lack of any feature that would make it special against modern mid-range devices. Fast GPU isn't that important.

    So instead of making poor ultra-wide, poor macro cameras and fine wide angle camera, they should do high quality 14 mm ultra-wide camera and high quality telephoto camera.
    Just those 2. No need for 28 mm wide angle, as it could be a 2x crop from 14 mm. High quality ultra-wide cameras are much better as macro, than those poor macro cameras. With my P30 ultra-wide camera i can see subpixels on the photo of display sensors.

    2 cameras instead of 3. So they will be better and they will fit. And they should make it in a body not larger than iPhone 11 Pro.

    So then it will have wow effect and will be attractive.

      Anonymous, 09 Jan 2021Surprisingly higher number of “No,Thanks”idk,personally xiaomi makes sense to me in low and midrange phones where they have some bangers, but if I'm giving so much money for a phone might as well go with Apple,Samsung,Sony etc.

        24.07% said they would buy right away. 23.88% (.19% less) said hard pass.

              I'm happy the mi 11 was released on its own and not with the pro model I get sick and tired of reviewers ignoring the vanilla version of phones

              Because they are released with their pro sibling


              This way BOTH get reviews released for proper comparison

                Where there is heavy use on adjectives like "great" and heavy on camera b rolls

                Which I suppose is goods for the average joe

                I'd wait on a real proper review from someone like techtablets that put the phone through serious testing and show it's flaws

                    I think reporting that "the body is weak" is a little premature, until there is some proper testing, unless I have missed something.?

                      Still no news about Mi 11 Ultra?With the new Omnivision sensor(s)....(OV 64A for the main cam)

                        ...one of the best review so far!!!!!

                            GSMArena when do you expect to post your review about the Xiaomi 11 ??? A lot of youtubers are testing it and releasing "unboxing" videos right now... WHEN??? WHEN??? WHEN ????

                            the best phone of 2021 needs to be evaluated by pros!!!!!!!

                              Difference between both.

                              Pro has two "zoom" cameras at cost of some battery.

                                What a joke 800$ for a sd 888 phone where sd 750g is capable to handle all task in 300$, I remembered when sd 801 debut in OnePlus one it was cost only 300$ but today's flagship phone cost is 800$ it is too high and it clearly shows that companies are making fool in the name of marketting....🙏🇮🇳

                                    Mi 11 has issues, which is :

                                    1. Snapdragon 888 antutu score lower than normal, it is close to the 5nm Kirin 9000 5G

                                    2. Overheating while charging and playing intensive games

                                    3. Charging speed not up to their claims

                                    4. No high quality secondary lens

                                    5. The body is weak. In Google, people says the Mi 12 bends easily and cracked to half like the Z Flip

                                      I am sure you title is not accurate. The accurate will be, many will wait for the pro, and many will say no tnx. Because 1% waint it more that they don't want is not good. Keep in mind that is a bigger percentage of people who say it will buy and they actualize don't that there are people who say no but end in buying.
