    Better design than the 2020 Ultra, but slapping obnoxious logos and writing all over doesn't say "expensive" but screams "bad taste and bad design.

      Anonymous, 13 Dec 2021Rear screen of 11U is too small. Only useful for notifica... moreIt's good enough to compose yourself for a selfie (or vlogging), but I agree that it's way too tiny for a video conference.

        Second screen increases cost.
        Make phone more fragile.
        Decrease room for battery.


        Stop this paranoia someone is watching you.
        No one is gonna watch you when they can steal.your money.

            But,you forgot couple of crucial things.First,Dxo.You cannot possibly consider yourself a distinguished member of the aforementioned 'Community' if you don't bitch about Dxo.And,since it's Xiaomi that's on the menu,well,how can you possibly live with yourself if you don't trash MiUI as the worst OS ever?..
            Cheers:)

              It was stupid to make it so small to begin with, I've never said it was big enough.

              Here, the Nubia Z20, the one with the biggest secondary display :
              https://www.gsmarena.com/zte_nubia_z20-9780.php

              Here, the Vivo Nex Dual Screen, one of the very first, also huge, though not as seamless :
              https://www.gsmarena.com/vivo_nex_dual_display-9435.php

              A not well known one with a small display on the back from 2017, the Meizu Pro 7 :
              https://www.gsmarena.com/meizu_pro_7-8445.php
              There is a good reason why the Z20 and Vivo Nex DS that came the next years had a big display rather than a tiny one.

              Mi mix Alpha, a perfect example of a phone that doesn't need a front camera and whose "second/rear" display is part of the design :
              https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_alpha-9893.php

              Huawei Mate X, another good example of such tech differently :
              https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_x-9605.php

              There is MORE THAN ENOUGH space under that huge camera module to put a 1:1 display, as I wrote in another comment, you don't need a 20:9 display anyway for video calls.
              The camera is protruding already enough so that a second display wouldn't make much of a difference, and it doesn't need to be a 120FPS ultra 4K display, a 1080x1080 (even a 720x720) would be more than enough, so it wouldn't be extra expensive.
              And we have tech to incorporate wireless charging and NFC into the display nowadays.
              Have the main being OLED and the second LCD and you please two user type at once.
              I'd easily pay the extra for a "Xiaomi 12 Ultra Dual Display Edition" (if we could have the good things like no front camera, no curved edge display, and why not a 3.5mm Jack), many would if it isn't ridiculously expensive.

                So, nine years later, someone's finally decided that Nokia's Lumia 1020 rear design was just right for their new smartphone?

                  EVERY, SINGLE, MARKETS beside the smartphone one cover niches, and as I have DEMONSTRATED on other comments, there are even companies who are profitable making niche's niche's niche products, and NO ONE have an issue against that.
                  Imagine saying "no brand will make punk style outfit as it isn't popular anymore" or "most people don't need 128GB or RAM so no one will make 32GB RAM sticks as those needing that much can buy a server anyway", who ever say such things?
                  NO ONE, it happens ONLY on the smartphone market, where things that can be sold thousands of times more and get much more margin than some entire big brands can make is said that "no one will make that".
                  It is EXACTLY because people say that (among other things, such as continuous hate) that it doesn't happen.

                    Only useful for notifications like Z Flip 3.

                    Who would do video call or even take selfie using a 1" screen?

                      AnonD-909757, 13 Dec 2021Projecting? No, those are facts you can check. And then... moreJust to clarify, I'm not against solutions to hide front camera, or even not putting one at all. I had a vivo Nex S and it was a very nice phone, the mechanics worked flawlessly. What I wanted to say is that IMO manufacturers will not produce a phone without any kind of front camera, the need for a front camera is there, for the majority of users. From my POW, they can release a phone without front camera if they see fit :))

                        No, those are facts you can check.

                        And then, you couldn't, you simply shut it rather than HAVING to trash talk phones without front camera?
                        This was the perfect time for not answering.

                          Anonymous, 13 Dec 2021According to you front cam is not popular. Ask Apple how ... moreI never said it isn't popular, I said there is a large enough market of people not giving any F about it to totally justify making such phones.
                          AND, in the case of phones with a second display on the back, those wanting to still use camera + display literally still can, except they will have the ability to use the much better main camera.

                            [deleted post]So someone saying :
                            "If it isn't for me it shouldn't exist at all even if other want it"
                            is "dumb".

                            But someone saying :
                            "Can you just shut it and let us have things we want as long as it doesn't do anything wrong to you"
                            Is "dumber" ?
                            And literally having the market being screwed up by people like them is normal, but me pointing it out is offensive?
                            Sure.

                              Absolutely great !!!

Want your 3.5mm jack then you need to look budget to middle class. There is not a single brand that sell premium phones with flagship everything and have SD card slot or 3.5mm jack so stop your crying about it like Xiaomi is a special case that dont have these options
