So It Really Feels Like There Are Two

types of flagship phones Nowadays you’ve got one type where the company’s kind of decided EH phones are capable enough already let’s focus on design or software or marketing, but then you’ve got the other type who are like screw that we’re putting everything in it enter the me11 Ultra this isn’t trying to be a good phone it’s trying to be the best phone money can buy the box is nothing special but also more importantly nothing’s missing. It comes with a UsBc to headphone Jack adapter the standard clear case and below the phone. We get a UsBc charging cable and a 67-watt fast charger let’s get one thing out the way not everyone is going to like the way this looks I’ve showed the M11 ultra to seven eight people now and the reactions have ranged from that’s. The coolest phone I’ve ever seen to why are those so big to it kind of looks like It’s trying to take over the world and I think the reason it’s so polarizing is that this is confident design. It’s not trying to be a halfway house.

Its Not Trying To Please Everyone It

knows what it wants to look like. In this case a technological behemoth and it’s running with it. The Mi 11 ultra openly leaves elegance and sophistication at the doorstep in place of an i eat samsung‘s for breakfast type aesthetic and I think it works it proudly flaunts its specs. The lenses are enormous. The camera module itself takes up a literal quarter of the phone and it actually isn’t as much of a nuisance as I was expecting it to be yes It collects dust You can probably see some up top here, but because the camera module doesn’t stretch down that much it’s surprisingly out the way of fingers and because it’s so wide.

Instead Of Worsening The Wobble Problem Like

a lot of these big cameras do it solves the wobble problem Also this is not glass they’ve actually ditched it in place of ceramic, which is often considered to be v-pro material, but i’m not actually completely sold on that I think I just prefer the convenience of matte glass versus fingerprint city over here and this phone was already going to be heavy. The density of ceramic pushes it further into one of the heaviest phones I’ve ever used. not been an issue for me, but it has been for some of the people who I’ve handed it to and God help whoever accidentally drops this on their face one night, But more importantly is what this phone does. When I first started using the Mi 11 Ultra. I laughed because after months of phones that just could not match the Samsung galaxy.

S21 Ultra And Who Each Deserve To Cement

how special of a phone that is all of a sudden. We have a device that isn’t just trying to trade blows and be comparable. Xiaomi is trying to kill Samsung. So I’m going to show you how and then I’m going to tell you why to preface this whole thing. Though they’re about the same price.

Aka A Lot Of Money Okay Have A

look at the S21 ultra’s display I feel like the word phenomenal gets. thrown around a lot, but I can’t think of many things more deserving of that title. In fact, Samsung’s phones have had such good screens that it’s kind of just become a bit of a tradition that every time they release a new s-series phone that becomes the best display of the year until their own note series phone comes six months or so later and improves on it so it’s pretty cool that I can sit here and say. Xiaomi’s me 11 series of phones break that cycle ironically using a Samsung made panel. These are both a plus 6.

8 Inch Amoled Quad Hd Plus 120

Hertz gorilla glass vectors HDr 10 plus adaptive panels. How many times did I just say plus but Xiaomi’s is even brighter maxing out at 1700 nits instead of 1500 making it the brightest phone display. Possibly ever it’s got a 480 hertz. rate versus 240. that’s how fast it’s scanning for touches.

It Doesnt Have That Slight Blue Shift

as you tilt the phone and Xiaomi can display 10-bit colors versus Samsung’s 8-bit. It’s not actually a 10-bit panel, but it uses a technology that simulates having a greater color depth. It is also quad curved, so it slopes off on both the top and the bottom as well as the left and the right I guess to make gestures feel a little more seamless, but equally because the only bits that aren’t now curved at the corners. I can’t shake the feeling that my phone just looks like it had a really bad haircut more fundamentally. Though Xiaomi has two amoled displays so you might have heard of the me band 5 their last generation activity tracker.

They Basically Taken The Screen Of That And

slapped it on the back of. On one hand, this little thing doesn’t really do much that we’ve not already seen before from those proper dual screen phones, but a it’s still impressive that it can do many of those same things whilst only actually being a side feature instead of the primary gimmick and B by having it on this phone. In particular, it enables something that that I think has the potential to be a complete game changer, but I’m getting there. It does also have an amazing customization suite. You can have the time and inspirational quote.

You Can Have Your Face On There, But

it’s just strange that they’ve made it so that it turns itself off after 30 seconds maximum because am I ever actually going to keep my phone screen down just so that I can check the time by fiddling around to try and double tap this mini display. On the back to wake it probably not but yeah providing you’re okay with the bunny ear corners. I think Xiaomi’s killed it with the display but what about battery because the fact that the S21 ultra has got 5 000 milliamp hours of the stuff it’s just meant that I stopped thinking about it and that’s a good thing. It’s not like we ever get positive battery reminders like congratulations you’re still on 90 so the less that the battery is on your mind. The better the battery is doing its job and using this same scale.

Xiaomi Goes Further Because It Charges

faster and I’ve said this before faster charging is not necessarily a good thing. It can degrade the battery. It can mean they’ve got to split one cell into multiple cells giving you a lower overall capacity, but they’ve kind of done fast charging here in a way that circumvents its main drawbacks like you’re still getting the same 5000 milliamp hours of capacity and roughly the same six hours of screen on time in a normal day with all settings maxed out, but instead of having a thicker battery to enable that fast charging we’ve actually got a thinner battery thanks to apparently new materials and as for how much faster it charges well instead of 70 minutes on the S21 Ultra i’m getting 40 on Xiaomi and while with Xiaomi you can also charge roughly at the same speed wirelessly too that takes 120 on the samsung or three times longer now you might know that I’m not a huge wireless charging. Advocate and you would have to specifically buy Xiaomi’s proprietary wireless charger to get those speeds but it’s tough to argue in Samsung’s direction here. Even though in all sensors its charging is slower.

They Still Dont Give You A Charging

brick. Xiaomi does Oh before I forget I did check my stats the other day and 49 of you watching are subscribed 51 of you aren’t so if you are enjoying this video, then a sub to the channel would be electrifying let’s try and tip that balance okay you’re probably starting to notice a theme here it really feels like with the Mi 11. Ultra Xiaomi has taken Samsung’s phone as a template and then literally tried to one-up it in every aspect even its speakers sound basically the same just a tiny bit louder, which is subtle, but it’s actually just enough of a difference for this. to be one of the few that can pass the shower test I. e can I take it to a shower and still clearly hear the voices in a video that I’m watching Xiaomi’s even made it a faster phone.

I Run The Latest Antutu Benchmark

five times back to back and you’ll notice a few things. Firstly that Xiaomi’s display does start dimming itself extremely quickly and you can’t turn the brightness up yourself when it does that but also that in every benchmark, Xiaomi is very clearly ahead and this is against the better performing Snapdragon version of the S21. Ultra Xiaomi does reach a higher internal temperature, but it doesn’t seem to affect its ability to sustain performance. Can I tell the difference when playing normal Android games no not really but I can imagine that anyone who’s looking to buy an ultra phone will probably appreciate the. extra three months or so of future proofing that you might get with higher overheads like that besides while both phones do come by default with 12 gigabytes of fast LPDdR5 RaM Xiaomi comes with twice the fast UFs 3.

1 Storage Heres The Big News Though

the number one thing that has kept Samsung in the lead is its cameras. I’ll link my last comparison using it up here but the crux of it is that Samsung’s combination of reliability and versatility are currently uncontested. Till now see it’s easy to look right past the Mi 11 ultra cameras okay not that easy they’re half the size of my face but the point is it’s only three cameras We’ve got four on the oneplus 9 pro and that’s not exactly considered top tier but the thing with these three cameras is that each of them is extremely specialized like this. Main camera has the largest sensor that we’ve ever seen on a smartphone almost 20 bigger than Samsung’s already enormous sensor and this means three things one incredible separation of foreground and background. It’s not day and night over the Samsung, but it’s taking great and making it better two more light.

If You Go Into A Super Dark Environment.

You will find that its shots look cleaner than the S21 ultras and three cinematic video. This is really more of a byproduct of the background blur, but the point is the benefits of it are far-reaching as you can probably see I could spend a long time talking about this camera system because there is so much going on, but the high level summary is this for the most part. The Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra cameras trade blows with Samsung. This thing can shoot 8k video on all three.

Its Lenses, Even If That Is

more for bragging rights than anything practical it’s slow motion is not just twice as slow but better quality and its ultrawide camera is supremely wide noticeably more than that of its counterparts, but Samsung’s colors are more consistent and for my tastes better. Xiaomi just takes too many liberties with it and so sometimes shots look spot-on and then other times. I’m like wait did I do something wrong. Xiaomi can often crush darker areas and whilst having this enormous sensor does mean bright nighttime shots and beautiful blurred backgrounds. In
