    Disappointing. Very bad ultrawide cameras and no telephoto.

    And size... Tablets...

      Why and which fool would buy this instead off S865, even SS855 would blow this...? Let alone S888, S870.

        Far too big, ugly and cumbersome to use. Next.

        This should be the Year of the Compact.

          They still leave room for Huawei flagships. And they are in the worming period.

              YUKI93, 16 Jun 2021That is a shame, it won't be a great performer in low ... moreI'm not sure about that: https://youtu.be/aNmJ4qbvW1U?t=173 in many low light photos, the 108 MP sensor in the Mi 11i is doing better job than the one inside the Mi 11, despite being a smaller sensor and lacking OIS, maybe due to the bigger binned pixels, I'm not a professional, don't know.

              For video recording, it's another story: https://youtu.be/aNmJ4qbvW1U?t=414

                yondo, 16 Jun 20218 MP, f/2.2, 120˚, 17mm (ultrawide) 2 MP, f/2.4, (macro) ... moreDecent camera for upper midrange phones I guess, same setup as Redmi Note 10 Pro.
                And high MP cameras became popular in 2019, it's still a marketing trick today, what 2000s are you talking about?

                  Javalom, 16 Jun 2021Am I the only one finding such cameras array Ugly AF!? Aesthetic’s are subjective, I would say one of them is completely redundant though.

                  I mean come on, this thing has a 108mp sensor, what possible reason would it require the ‘always seemingly there but never useful under any circumstances’ 2mp combo!?!?!?!?

                  Seriously, why are these 2mp a thing? are the Android crowd asking for them? are they silly enough to fall for the multiple camera marketing Schlick?

                  That ultrawide is a total afterthought as well.

                    we need to unlock the bootloader !!!

                      Hohotun, 16 Jun 2021No OIS with new sensor...That is a shame, it won't be a great performer in low light photography. Just solely relying on the 9-to-1 Nona Bayer pixel binning isn't enough.

                        GregLu, 16 Jun 2021Don't forget USB Type C 2.0! Such a shame.Xiaomi has been doing it for ages and no one complains about it. Even both the Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi Mix Fold still only has a USB-C 2.0 port. For a phone that cost $1000 and more, that is literally asking for it.

                          The base variant's Dimensity 900 chipset makes it an interesting rival to the Oppo Reno6 5G. But between the Pro and the Pro+ variant, I would definitely go for the Pro+ variant simply because I deeply value having a front ultrawide camera. That said though, I'd rather have the Pro's 66W charging rate and the bigger battery in the Pro+. It really feels odd to see the top-range Pro+ variant has a smaller battery than its middle-range Pro variant.

                            Man, this year's Honor has been really disappointing. Honor flagship series usually are compact but decided hey, let's make 'em big sooo why even have V series? Then...there's no exclusive Sony sensor. No OIS. No telephoto lens. Chipset is barely an upgrade from its predecessor, should've gone with D1200. Pricing is...eh. I mean it's the same but not good now. Redmi is doing a lot better. My only hope now is the X series.

                            What I do like is the big displays and that it's slightly sharper than FHD. Insane 100W charging too. This is only the Pro model. Honor 50 and 50 SE....ehhh. At least it's got 66W charging.

                                I think this companies in 2021 (like Honor, Sony or Nokia), are hand in hand with Xiaomi or Samsung. They want to make Xiaomi and Samsung phones even more appealing. Hahaha.

                                  Curved display and 4000mah battery with a 6.7" display.
                                  The best software optimization in the world will not make that phone last more than 4-5h of SoT. Yeah, is very fast charging speeds, but if you don't have the charger with you during the day, is all for nothing.
                                  Big no for me.

                                    Ronish Dhakal, 16 Jun 2021Idk why companies are still proving those 2MP units. Just t... moreEasy. Afraid of being "bashed " by media if they ship phones with 2 rear cameras.
                                    They are not gonna put a 50-60mm on cheap phones.
                                    Many brands do not even use on a $600 phones.

                                      This is the most stupid thing i ever see from a mobile brand ... releasing 2 phones with same specs and ask u more money for just the charging speed .... it's really hilarious at this point..

                                        Willywonka, 16 Jun 2021The Pro version is a complete disappointment. One could... moreagreed!!! the Pro version does not make sense....
