This phone is a liability period. You will regret purchasing it. Only the screen is good. Get a Vivo X60 Pro or Oppo Find X3 Neo instead, and the UI is also faster and less buggy.

    Anonymous, 19 Jun 2021can you really see the difference between the 1440p vs 1080... moreI don't think so. Afaik mobile games still only render in 1080p, so the 1440p panel won't give you an advantage over a 1080p panel. The mi 11 also really consumes a lot of battery when running games, so I'd look for either a dedicated gaming phone or a snapdragon 865/865+/870 phone if gaming is a big deal to you.

        however, the camera samples on their mi 11 ultra review were still in an early build, plus the scenes in the review were limited to quite few scenes.

                Zipzap , 19 Jun 2021The battery will be fine no need to.worry about that. Fast... moreOnly time will tell how the battery holds up over time. That said though, the fast charging tech they put in the mi 11 is pretty good. It generates far less heat than I expected, less than other fast charging phones I've bought. Having to top up 2-3x a day can't be doing the battery any favors in the long term though.

                  Skywalker, 19 Jun 2021There was no need to upgrade from Mi 10t Pro. It was alread... moreI know. I was just curious to see if the snap 888 is as good but power hungry as they say. I can safely say that it's more power hungry than the rumors say, but not so sure about the good part. Helped a friend out by selling him the mi 10T pro for cheaps, so I don't feel too bad about it.

                        And still use my max 3 for 32 months - way better.

                                And hopefully it's just going to get better and faster in the future.

                                        If you want to purchase phone just for a camera it is better than their previous models but very expensive. Just higher end chip does not justify such a price hike. Battery does get hot some time and when operating system flickers. Not as good as Mi 10 5G. Could buy Sony camera at good price.
