Even though Xiaomi isn't native here in South Africa it's still almost $100 cheaper than the s21 ultra which is native. That being said, it still costs the equivalent of nearly $1.8k. So it's a no-go for me, I am happy with my mi 11.

    It's a great phone but my SOT barely stretches to 6 hrs without battery saver mode - not bad but could definitely be better. Time and again I get tempted to purchase it's peers - pixel 6 pro, vivo x70 etc but this one has held its own as an overall package. And all this at USD 930!

      Main camera sans dynamic range, is inferior to 808. And that's not subjective opinion. I have 808, my friend Mi11U and we did pretty lengthy shootout. In good lightning 808 beats it in almost every aspect, especially detail.

        Good long-term review. Thanks.

        I considered the Mi 11 Ultra, but went with the Pixel 6 Pro instead. I personally like the images from the Pixel 6 Pro and the iPhone 13 Max better for the same scene, but it's a limited experience. I'd put the Mi 11 Ultra on par with Samsung's flagship. But my experience with Xiaomi's software has been frustrating, mostly due to bugs.

        Sadly the Pixel is a bit buggy right now and I am returning it tomorrow and going with the iPhone 13 Max.
