      Hey, very nice device ... oh wait! Damn! It's much too big! Bye!

        [deleted post]Being able to back up my phone's data via USB 3.0 on my PC(that I physically own) or my external USB 3.1 SSD is so much faster than cloud storage, internet is quite slow where I live.
        And it seems all phones with USB 3.0+ have video output.

          YUKI93, 17 Jun 2021Lol, I do. Samsung can even sell a $699 phone, let alone a ... moreYeah, I was talking about how Samsung have been using USB 3.x+ since 2017 and OnePlus since 2019 but it seems my comment didn't go live.

            YUKI93, 17 Jun 2021Come to think about it, the Mi 11's HMX 108MP sensor o... moreExactly, I understand pretty much the binned pixels stuff and OIS but ISO? I'm quite lost there 😅

              No headphone jack? K, thanks, bye.

                [deleted post]Lol, I do. Samsung can even sell a $699 phone, let alone a $1000 phone with USB-C 3.2 and Samsung DeX. Does Xiaomi ever do that for their phone? Absolutely no chance.

                  Shadocx, 16 Jun 2021I'm not sure about that: https://youtu.be/aNmJ4qbvW1U?... moreCome to think about it, the Mi 11's HMX 108MP sensor only do 4-to-1 pixel binning, so yes - there is a point there about bigger binned pixels. The Mi 11i's HM2 108MP sensor does 9-to-1 pixel binning, so the Mi 11i's 2.1µm effective pixel size is indeed larger than the Mi 11's 1.6µm. That said though, having OIS for lowlight conditions can compensate for the noise/grain because of a much lower ISO value.

                    [deleted post]I care about it, it allow for faster transfer speeds to PC for backups and external SSD, also video output, also I buy phones from OnePlus, Xiaomi and Oppo which are all chinese so the rest of your comment makes 0 sense to me Mr. Anonymous...

                      What a downgrade. Loosing Huawei's touch.

                        I hope there is pro+ version with proper flagship specs like telephoto camera wireless charging stereo speakers ip68 and a reasonable price

                          The pro is actually doesn't have anything better over the Vanilla model aside from the ultra wide front camera ☹️.

                            and there is another phone without wireless charging. Disappointing.

                              Nova 8 series, but it went through Photoshop

                                GSMA, there's no mention of fingerprint reader in your post.

                                  Was there a news in the honor 50 pro plus

                                    I guess a true flagship spec is reserved for honor 50 pro+ ...

                                    Or they want to show a little respect and give the spotlight to Huawei p50 series.

Screams lower tier in any way. Apple Samsung don't even give charger in box.
                                      USB 2.0 type C niche use case scenario, most people send files wireless these days

                                        Overpriced garbage. Honestly. A 700 series chip in a nearly $600 phone? Give me a break.
