GregLu, 22 Oct 2021Meaning ? Sorry, I didn't understand, you mean that th... moreYes three battery life is poorer than gsmarena lab test

    Dometalican, 22 Oct 2021That battery...my goodness...even the Xperia 1 iii scored b... moreXperia 1 III is notorious for dropping resolution to 1080p+ and refresh date to 60hz because it starts overheating. The panel is also dimmer. Vivo panel brightness is much higher.
    Higher nits will obviously consume more battery.

      Tanase Adrian, 22 Oct 2021i don't trust gsmarena anymore with these reviews man.... moreSo according to to you Gsmarena should be change their testing results and the entire world should ignore the photography prowess of the MI 11 Ultra, just because you have preconceived judgements about a product you never used???

      Mi 11 Ultra has the best camera on smartphone right now... Not much you can do about it.
      My mirrorless camera is collecting dust right now.
      Enjoying great photo and video quality on my vacation with the MI 11 Ultra. .

        Bradley Rodriguez, 22 Oct 2021What do you mean? Has the battery been good for you? Thinki... moreBattery is not as good as agar is mentioned in the lab test. Wait for some other good phone if you want a good battery backup.
        Overnight drain is more than 5%
        Display protection is Schott Xensation which we need to wait and see it's capability as a competition to gorilla glass

          Tanase Adrian, 22 Oct 2021i can assure you it isn't as bad as gsma says!I don't think they are saying it is bad, but they are not as excited about this beefy boi like we are.
          I never used a Vivo let alone this expensive but man do I want one!

            Lccy, 22 Oct 2021A 23mm equivalent lens is far too wide as a main camera, le... moreAgreed, it's really too wide. Main camera should be 28mm ish. I can't understand what is the point of having two wide lenses.

              I quite like the look of this phone. The cameras are quite amazing.

                YUKI93, 23 Oct 2021Considering that Sony has a higher screen resolution than t... moreI'm not quite sure what's "ironic" about lasting over 2 hours longer for video playback and 5 hours longer for web browsing while having an identical battery capacity, not to mention that the display is quite significantly larger on X70 Pro+.

                  Dometalican, 22 Oct 2021Even worse battery life vs the LTPO-less Xperia 1 iii. BBK ... moreNow that you mention the Xperia 1 Mk3, that does make a solid argument. They don't use an LTPO screen and yet they can be close to rivals with an LTPO screen, and that's before counting in its CinemaWide 4K screen resolution.

                    Nick Tegrataker, 23 Oct 2021Did you look at the actual battery life scores? https://fd... moreConsidering that Sony has a higher screen resolution than this Vivo, I do find it rather ironic. Even the screen in the Sony is not an LTPO type, which makes it even more ironic! Just imagine what would happen if Sony use an LTPO screen while maintaining their CinemaWide 4K screen resolution and excellent battery optimization software, I definitely wouldn't look at the rest.

Selfie looked better on the Mi 11 Ultra and night shots were at best tied between the two with each being better and worse in some shots. Vivo's photos also looked a tinge under exposed, while the Mi's are a bit over exposed.

                        Lccy, 22 Oct 2021A 23mm equivalent lens is far too wide as a main camera, le... moreI agree. 23mm can be too wide for certain uses like portraiture. Ends up distorting faces/ body shapes even if you frame the shot carefully. That's a shame given that main cams in top-end smartphones are such capable little devices!
                        I used to adore the iPhone 4s for this reason - it's ancient now, but the 35mm focal length used to produce lovely portraits (even without any faux bokeh).

                            Mi 11 ultra is officially available in country and can gsmarena stop with one plus fanboys for reviewer. Even x70 pro has better camera than one plus 9 pro

                              Guess what? Those imperfection selfies are true to life, the oversharp boost to cover up the small sensor used, therefore some artifacts on the texture. Others that use 8mp selfie? Some are good, some are way worse with oversmoothing effects, blown out highlight & overexposed. Worse front camera in a flagship level phone? Its Xperia. From the beginning till to this day. Thats a fact.

                                Thinking about getting this or Samsung S22 ultra.
                                I'm in the US, S22 ultra with good camera and 5G I wouldn't mind waiting.

                                  Main camera should be 50mm. Anything wider is just ludicrous.

                                    This is not enough to show all skins imperfections like it does.

                                    How many phones have used 1/2.6" 12MP over the years.
                                    None tries to boost texture that way.

Which is true because in real world our phone usually go through various levels of network signal strength, which affect battery drain differently.
