Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Mi 11i get an enthusiastic reception

11 April 2021
As expected, the Mi Mix Fold is not for everyone. The 4G version of the Mi 11 Lite fared pretty poorly - 5G is a must-have these days.

      Nick Tegrataker, 12 Apr 2021"Even Mi 11 Ultra fails the durability test" Don... moreSorry, will never touch a Xiaomi.

      To be honest I’m not a Chinese products hater, I have seen the Oppo Find C3 Neo for instance and I like how it looks, it’s just that single brand gets hyped so much and yet quality control is piss-poor.

      In my home country I’ve seen a Mi 11 user getting a black spot on the OLED display out of the box, yet Xiaomi customer team refused to replace/repair the phone (there was a related FB post), same as a Poco F2 Pro won’t start also out of the box. Just a few examples, I’ve seen many Xiaomi phones failing as opposed to other brands, let alone BBK brand phones.

      Good on you if your phone works. I have also seen a Redmi Note 10 durability test and the phone snaps like a cracker. Closest competitor Realme 8/8 Pro survived without catastrophic damage. Sorry Xiaomi.

        Samsung ads?

        Battery life better than Samsung.

          Don't be ridiculous, it's pretty clear that one very low quality photo posted on a Chinese forum by some random user doesn't count as a proper evidence since there's not enough contexts given. I'd rather wait for JRE to upload his own test VIDEO instead.

          Also be sure to try out the latest version of the MIUI before complaining about it. Coming from a OneUI/EMUI user, It's actually pretty good.

I pointed out it's a difference and a larger sensor is an advantage just like larger pixel size is an advantage. I did not say it was a huge difference. And what has the iPhone got to do with it at all? You seem to be obsessed with iPhones for some reason

                      I do like the Mi 11 Ultra camera hardware though the Mi 11 Pro is not that far off. Mi 11i is exclusive to the Indian market, so that doesn't concern me at all. But Mi 11 Lite 5G? The upper midrange phone without the 3.5mm audio jack? That's an instant hard pass from me. Blasphemy is the only right word for it.

                        Comparing for the same price, Vivo have roughly the same CPU (speed) with Samsung but with better camera.

                        ViVO mid-range the V20/V21 camera is quite good for the price. V20 is $300.

                            Xiaomi is the most overrated brand so far. Cheap, good specs, but mediocre build quality on many models. The UI is also a laughable mess. Just watch the Redmi Note 10 bend like a cracker. Even Mi 11 Ultra fails the durability test.

                              Anonymous, 11 Apr 2021HM2 is better as it has much better low light performance. ... moreYeah, I think the higher 27mp versus 12mp photos are more suited to daylight photography and give relatively detailed daytime pics. The hm2 might be more suited to nighttime although the smaller sensor size is also a consideration. Both are good sensors but certainly not at the level of the current really top sensors like imx700 and gn2

                                Make your mind up. It's actually personal preference. If you look at raw hardware, the Xiaomi top end phones are benchmarking higher than the top Samsung phones and that's a fact too. Software can be a problem with Xiaomi phones but I rooted every Samsung I ever owned for the same reason because manufacture skins in general are full of adware and bloatware. Samsung app store.

                                  why nobody is doing these devices?
                                  Because the market for those device is too niche , small .
                                  A good sensor module cost around $25 dollars and put it in a $200 mobile phone it's simply not economical feasible , like putting a V12 engine inside a Honda Fit and sell it for peanuts, you simply won't recoup the money, current android smartphone have a profit margin of around 5 to 13%
