Xiaomi Mi 11 | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the Xiaomi Mi 11, a fresh 2021 flagship smartphone boasting Snapdragon 888 smarts and a 108MP camera. I've already reviewed this mighty mobile but here's a tour of the specs, MiUI 12 launcher, best features and camera tech. And you can also see my Mi 11 vs Samsung Galaxy S21 comparison here on Tech Spurt.
The Mi 11 is one of the first flagship phones launched in 2021, so of course it's one of the best around right now. That SD888 platform means gaming on anything, including Genshin Impact, is a breeze. Xiaomi's Quad HD screen is crisp and boasts beautiful contrast, even if it's not quite as gorgeous as Samsung's Dynamic AMOLED rival. And the battery life is also solid, offering a full day of use no matter how hardcore you take it.
I also like the Xiaomi Mi 11's triple lens rear camera, despite its lack of telephoto smarts. You can capture great looking everyday photos and up to 8K resolution home movies, easy.
So that's my unboxing of the Mi 11, let me know your thoughts below and check out that review for a final verdict.

[@TechSpurt]

Thanks for checking out my Mi 11 unboxing, have a gander at my full review for camera samples etc, here's hoping the Ultra gets a proper launch soon!

[@gavrielpapas773]

Unbox Therapy?? Yeah, I don't like him neither, because he is not objective and has no idea about specs, honest testing or even audio quality. He just loves to loudly vocalize like a low-class American teenager ... even though he is Canadian and wealthy and a grown up. I find your opinions much more useful.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Hi Chris, first of all I love your vids and always look out for notifications that you've uploaded a new one. I 'm asking for some help, please. At 70, I'm not all that great on t'internet and would be really grateful if you could point me in the right direction. I really like the look of the Xiaomi Mi 11. I've seen chinese versions, with google play installed, for sale in a couple of online shops, but I'd prefer to buy the UK version, if there is such a thing! Do you know if/when the Xiaomi Mi 11 will be available in the UK. Cheers buddy, kind regards, Alan...

Some people say the camera module is not good looking. But I like it very much. I think it gives character to the main lense, emphasizing it. The multi color back and leather version of it makes this phone very charming. This is the first xiaomi phone I like the design of it very much. I just hope the front punch hole is in the center, enhancing its aesthetic. Put my hand on this phone last week, gonna say the display is super large, and the operation is smooth like a butter thanks to 888 dragon chip.

[@aquatikdawn3082]

Giztop is where I got mine it's on par with the S21 Ultra but a better camera optimization and cheaper

[@alexlarsen6413]

If you've already got the OnePlus 8t I wouldn't say it's worth jumping ship this soon. You should probably wait a bit until Mi 11 gets a bit cheaper, Xiaomi doesn't hold price at all. Like, last year's Mi 10 is dirt cheap now in denmark. You can get it brand new in retail for around 650€. The retail version of Mi 11 is currently ~ 850€ whereas the OnePlus 8t is around 700€. That said, Xiaomi 11 comes with the Snapdragon 888, Adreno 660, it has a large QHD+ screen and supports wireless charging at 50W so I prefer it to OnePlus 8t. If I were buying a new phone now, I think I'd actually take this one over the Samsung 21 Ultra.
