Update on my deadboot problem:
So I did what that guy below suggested and ordered a new motherboard. Yesterday I did the mobo replacement and it was quite easy to do. Now I'm back to using my Mi 11 like normal again.
So if you don't mind opening up your phone, this is honestly a very cost-effective solution. Luckily it seems that Mi 11 components are super cheap to buy. The motherboard only costs $50 on Aliexpress. And it's only $30 to replace the cameras.
If anyone plans to do this, make sure to apply a generous amount of thermal paste. Because when I opened mines, there was just a tiny amount of thermal paste on it. I guess that explains why mines deadbooted.

I just bought the 12/256 version from the official Mi Store on AliExpress for $169, and I'm just straight up gonna sell it as soon as it arrives after reading all these horror stories about the deadboot issues. I should've done more extensive research before even buying, but I'm not taking any chances with Xiaomi's horrendous PCB design now that I've already made the purchase.
If you're on this page after coming across the low prices on AliExpress, you should probably stay away from the Mi 11. Take people's experiences and learn the easy way, because those tempting prices are probably because of these massive deadboot problems. You've been warned.

HAH. So it turns out that the people here were not kidding about the deadboot issues after all.
My Mi 11 just died today. It randomly restarted, the display began turning green, and then I couldn't power on anymore.
I was too overconfident. I thought it would never happen to me, but it did.
It seems that this deadboot issue is much more common than you'd think. The probability must be very high on the Mi 11.
I have to admit, you guys were right. I can only blame myself for taking the risk despite the warnings.

Using it from July 2021. I coming from ages of samsung top models. The M11 8/256 is a wonderful phone under every aspect and a good enough camera.... That's until the wi-fi die end the only option you have is to pay the price of a brand new Redmi Note 13Pro in order to have the motherboard replaced.

The camera is ok for me because I'm not a camera guy but it takes some good pictures. Maybe you need to update your phone. I'm currently running a ported hyperos and it's great.

Okay I've changed my opinion. The cameras on here as a package is pretty bad. Ultrawide is garbage, macro cam is useless. So you basically only have one camera on this phone, and while it's good it can't compete with today's flagship sensors.
So if you're planning on buying this phone, don't buy it for the cameras.

Never experienced overheating either. Tbh the camera was slightly underwhelming, the ultrawide isn't that great compared to my one-year older OP7Pro which has autofocus. And the main camera seems great, but I was expecting the quality to be out-of-this-world (mainly cus it uses a large sensor).
