Mi 11 Ultra -Global - Full Review - A real camera beast! [Xiaomify]

Triple-50 MP cameras, A 120Hz WQHD+ Display, a 1.1" rear AMOLED display, 67W wired-AND Wireless Charging? YES! This is it; the Mi 11 Ultra! -A real camera beast, which I have just looked at a few days ago, but how is the global version of this phone after trying it for over 10 days now? Let's find out!
Xiaomi has outdone themselves with this phone. Sure it’s got that same Snapdragon 888, the same display, the same front-facing camera, and the same Harman Kardon speakers as on the Mi 11… But there’s more on the Ultra.
At first, I was surprised it didn’t have the same 108-megapixel main camera but instead had a 50-megapixel main camera. But as it turns out the sharpness is better on the Mi 11 Ultra, and the two additional 48 megapixel lenses are really great to have. Finally, we have a much higher resolution ultra-wide angle lens. That is super nice to have. But even better is the 48-megapixel telephoto lens. This lens has such an incredible focal length, giving you almost DSLR-like results.
The photos I have taken with the ultra, both during the day and at night, really blow so many phones completely away. Especially the 5x telephoto lens has given me truly amazing results. -The squeeze, the field of view, and the feeling of depth is unlike anything I have seen on a phone before.
The video on the ultra is amazing as well. I have done a lot of 8K shoots, as all 3 lenses shoot in 8K. But that’s where I made a misjudgment in my photo and video review… As it turns out the video stabilization at night is incredible when using the 4K resolution. The weird thing is that there is no difference in a crop of field-of-view between the 8K and 4K video.
So I made the wrong call in saying that the night videos have pretty bad stabilization, as in 4K it's really really good.
The other notable feature on the Mi 11 ultra is sure that 1.1” rear display. At first, it might look a little bit of a gimmick, but as it gives you a live view of the camera when taking selfie photos, it is actually quite cool. Sure, I would have loved for it to do the same with 50megapixel photos and especially with video, but perhaps that is just a firmware update away. (Maybe?)
The little display is also quite nice to see time, battery and if there’s a new notification as well, and when playing music it will allow you to pause or skip a song from there as well. And why not!
So the Mi 11 ultra surely has a lot of similar features when comparing it to the Mi 11, but that camera… That camera makes it 100% worth it to consider getting the Mi 11 Ultra over the ‘regular’ Mi 11…

[@orosee]

What keeps me from buying is the frequency of version increases. I'm pretty sure that when I arrive in China a year ago, the most current Xiaomi phone was 8. But The first time I watched one of your videos, it was about 9, then not much later the 10 came out. Then I almost considered buying the 11, but before I could decide, 11 Pro and 11 Ultra came out. At 7k+ RMB, I really don't want to be sad 3 months later because X+1 goes to market, and another 3 months after that because the Pro or Ultra versions are so much better (or maybe not, Xiaomi is a bit strange as their perfect phone would often be a mix of the standard, pro and ultra features). But I really enjoy the camera focused reviews you do. That's what counts for at least 50% of purchase decisions. Don't forget to talk about that ceiling lamp ;-)

I just found your channel! Cool to see a fellow expat! Have a question to ask though. I have the 10 ultra. (The anniversary edition). I'm looking to upgrade to the 11 ultra because of the waterproofing. Do you think i should just wait for them to release other phones or would you suggest going forward with the upgrade? Thanks in advanced!

[@xiaomify]

Hi Christiaan, do you mean to wait if they will release other phones with the waterproof rating, or other phones with better cameras? As I doubt they will release another camera-beast this year (I could be wrong, but I think this is "THE one" for this year) I would probably go pick this one up. If you are waiting for Xiaomi to 'improve the waterproofing' I believe that this should be as good as future iterations. (As I mentioned in the video I have been using a pre-production model, so I have been a bit hesitant to go swim with it. But as soon as I receive the production-model I am 100% going to try that out!)
