Mi 11 Ultra comes with all this and just one zoom camera at 5x, basically ignoring the 2-4x zoom that it is the most important one. Let's portraits with this camera. Xiaomi could fit easily two more cameras instead of that second screen. I can't see how someone wil find a second mini screen more useful than a good 2 or 3x portrait camera.

    Shui8, 01 Apr 2021Camera quality looks superb on some of the youtube video, e... moreI took a look at a camera review for this phone on YT too. I absolutely like the colours Mi 11 Ultra's cameras produce - natural, nuanced, and just so.. realistic. Another plus is that it doesn't seem to go overboard with sharpening nor noise reduction (The regular Mi 11 was already showing a sign of improvement in Xiaomi's software processing), though it's a bit difficult to judge how much textures it truly captures since the full res samples are not available yet. Nonetheless 5x telephoto and UWA cameras look very promising too, I can't wait for GSMArena to do a thorough camera review & comparison for this phone.

        these phones are too huge and too expensive. they must reduce prices in order to compete with apple and samsung. in addition,they still have no compact versions of these. 40% of flagship sales are on compact versions.never forget that.

          Camera quality looks superb on some of the youtube video, especially its 1/2.0" telephoto sensor. Best 8k video in daylight I guess, but no pixel peep can be gained yet.

            Dennis.K, 01 Apr 2021Nowhere on here do they even mention the proIts sad

              Almost like this everytime, the phone is hyped for its specs and weeks after launch people starts to realize pros and cons and discover no phone is perfect ( or king of android )

              With s21 ultra
              Then oneplus 9 pro
              And now xiaomi 11 ultra

              Wait for a few weeks for things to be clear

                woww, alot of variations..

                  Nowhere on here do they even mention the pro

                    Glad to see that Xiaomi is always trying to come up with something new :)

                      The 11 Lite 5G I think is the sweet spot. Hope it's available all over and priced well. Looking forward to the review and the SD 780

                        Better than Oneplus phones. Oneplus phones lack innovations for the huge price they are asking for

                          Where is the pro which is the most smart choice

                            Let's hope it's better than the Mi 10 Pro I had. Fantastic phone but cameras were underwhelming and ultra wide always over exposed images badly.

                              soo,, still no news about Poco X4 series (??)

                                That second display would have been better if there was no punch hole selfie cam. I get why it's there (video calls) but I would have preferred no obtrusive display in the front.

                                Alas, even then, these phones don't have much US bands so we can't use it here.

                                  The mi 11 is the best, especially for people who thinks that 108mpx 1/1.32" I think is great for zoom and normal photos, and I am sure 99.99999% thinks the same
                                  I may be minority, but I don't care at all if my phone has cameras or not, just a single imx 568 on the back without ois is sufficient, but make the phone cheap, very lightweight and thin
