756.53mb/s in Sequential Real for Mi11? UFS 3.1 rounds values close to 1500-1700 on all smartphone... Something is wrong there. Excelent video, Chris!!!
Always great to hear your voice and see such a high quality video. Hope you are doing good!
Hey, thanks! I am. Hope you're good!
Chris, have you done the test if m11 and m11 lite can stream music to two Bluetooth devices at the same time?? Do you know any phone who can do this?
I'm planning to buy a phone, my choices are mi 11 and oneplus 8 pro they are both $700 new in my country, could you help decide which one should i get? And why? I'm a oneplus user but I'm tempted with the specs of the xiaomi mi 11
Thank you for your good and detailed review. Dose the mi 11 take slow motion pictures
I picked up my Xiaomi 11 Ultra today. In Black. 12GB Ram and 256GB Storage. I also got the 67 Fast Charging Brick. at NC. Paid 6,499 RMB. i plan to load only Apps that I will use. My last Iphone had over 100 programs on it. 90% of which is seldom used. Will see how it goes.
excellent review and great comparison! Keep up the good work man!
you can now compare the Mi 11 Ultra vs S21 Ultra.
The only reason Samsung and Apple keep shifting their 'flagship' phones is that the cost is veiled within monthly contract payments. Long may it continue. Those people are financing the overdriven midrange market which vacuums up those six-month-old chip-sets and spurts them out behind last year's oleds to fuel enthusiasm among the genuine tech 'influencers'. How many of you have advised Xiaomi to your sisters, dads and grandma's because of your mix/mi?
xiaomi mi 11 is way better, not because of its price but because it looks good, looks more comfortable on my hand and it looks reliable due to its performance
Exynos 👎
The more accurate comparison would be between the Mi 11 ultra vs the S21 Ultra. The Mi 11 comes behind the Mi11 Pro and Mi11 Ultra. It'd be interesting to see this comparison with even just the Mi 11 Pro, which should still come cheaper than the S21 ultra
Mi11 really beats the s21 ultra tbh
I just bought the Mi 11 for £345 for the 256GB version.
WOW how? Stellar price
PWM altert on Galaxy. I'm gonna get rid of my Iphone 12 because of that. Back to Xiaomi
When wireless charging is as fast as wired charging, you know you have got a beast
Apple: why do i hear boss music?
Samsung: why do i hear boss music
Samsung yust like Apple selling fcking name nothing else.
Exynos lol
in Poland i need to pay 100 euro more for s21 ultra. s21 ultra is my choice because 10x optical zoom, dolby atmos and dex, but mi 11 is very good too - 55w charging, better vibrations, snap888
Nice review mate.. Just a suggestion here, try to leave the screen timeout, cos i noticed every now and then one of the phone screen turned off.. Cheers
Thanks to this channel. It's made my decision alot easier, going for the Mi11, the $400 price difference is too much for a slightly better features.
I have note 20 ultra 5G. 5G network is available in my city. But I never use it because it uses too much battery power. On 4G I have to charge phone twice a day. Sometime 3 times charge. Battery life is very bad for Note 20 Ultra Exynos version. Checked my phone at Samsung service center twice. They told me to disable apps and notifications.
You gave the display a win solely because of the DC dimming?!
Really good review..
grea job, wished i watchd ur video earlier.... pls keep on
REMEMBER: you are comparing Mi 11 standard version with Galaxy's top line " Ultimate Version". When Mi 11's Pro and Ultimate Versions will come out, then who will be the winner?
Chris you should compare Mi 11 to S21 considering they are similar price point. In my country S21 ultra is almost double of the price of mi 11, so it is not exactly fair to compare these two phones
@TechTablets that's fair, of course you shouldn't. Just saying it is not really apple to apple comparison when their price are almost double different, at 690 USD Vs 1230 USD. That shows how great Mi 11 is. And great video as usual, love your content ❤️
Wasn't going to buy the S21 just for a video sorry.
Watching on my s21 ultra.... this is easy the best phone on the market right now!!
For me it's more than 400€ i got my mi 11 for 600€
🖤
Obvious Curve sucks only in every phone. Flat the best!!!!@punchole placement 😛😛😛😛
Sorry but the price maintained by Samsung should not be a measure at all ! ...the price strategy is just downright ridiculous...they have been trying to push up the price for the last 5 years ..together with Apple ...phones which should cost 500 bucks are far above the thousands ...just criminal !!! ...So glad to see that Chinese companies are maintaining their own prices ...although they are rising bit by bit
So,its me again about Mi 11 cameras,it looks like there will be Mi 11 Ultra also ( but dont know if Ultra will be for China only just like Mi 10 Ultra )- so,Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra.Now( but not sure again) it looks like only Ultra will have Sony sensor and Mi 11 and 11 Pro are ( sadly) with cheaper Samsung sensor.
I wish they would use the new omnivision sensor again like the Mi 10 Ultra it's still the best there is for me.
great video chris thank you..yep xiaomi defo need that desktop out connection like dex especially with there flagship devices..
They should put phone jack 3.5 mm on em!!! Just better👈
SAMSUNG? APPLE SLAVE LABOUR KINGS👈👺👺👺👀😵🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOT A CHANCE!!!!
I buy phones that cost less than the difference between these two
How does the s21 ultra not have dc dimming when even my Realme X has it
I think the real match will be S21 Ultra against Mi 11 pro.
The sound difference is not so noticeable in my opinion but perhaps the S21 ultra takes the day.
Thank you for hte nice review, but please, can you try to keep the phone position consistent between shots. With those full displays, the camera is the only strong giveaway which is which, and it can be a bit confusing. But again, thanks for the nice work!
You should have compared it with s21 not with ultra
The Kiwi accent is strong on this one. Well done mate. Thanks!
Haha it sure is. Thanks for watching!!
one thing I've learned from techtablets, If the Posada DL mar sign looks a bit purplish on your phone's camera, you have a bad one 😂
Yeah well the low light colors are quite off if it is. Many show it as purple.
Nice comparison... 👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No telephoto, is a no no for me. Xiaomi is just blatantly ignoring telephoto cameras.
HTC please start making smartphones again please, I literally hate xiaomi and Samsung. Oneplus is probably the closest thing to HTC at the moment.
Waiting for the mi 11t
Common dude the XIAOMI is better and only 800 euros since Samsung 1400 euros almost double dude i have the Mi 11 and is gorgeous
It would've been better if the S21 Ultra that was compared had SD888 instead of Exynos 2100.
I purchased the s21 ultra and was disappointed with the bugs, baked in ads and lack of native visual voicemail support on tmobile. Reluctantly I chose to return the device. Hoping to see what Oneplus brings to the table. There were bugs in both the OneUi launcher and in all 3rd party launchers, both when using navigation gestures. Swiping to go home required a half second wait before the UI will allow any interaction with the screen.
Remember that this is not yet the Mi 11 Ultra. Xiaomi will really eat Samsung here.
In Android world, Samsung phones are the overpriced ones. Just saying.
Gonna get my 256GB Mi 11 this 13th March! This video increase the hype I'm getting even more. Can't wait to get my hands on the Mi11! Great review sir 👍🏼
I have to ask... 6:19 - You often reverse ER and RE. Preformance, ethrenet. Is it a trademark I've missed?
those for 250-350 euros are vest buy and give you most you need while everythinf higher are bassically paying for extra profits to those companies
Just found this channel....I have decided to marry this channel
you're kinda subjective but yeah still good comparison
Now these are what you call stats. Definitely the best tech CSbuildr out there 👍
Please review motorola edge s
Great review. For about 400 EUR less expensive, I guess the Xiaomi wins big time. Also, I've read that a software update is lying around the corner which will do some fixes of the current software glitches, making the difference a bit smaller again. I currently have the Samsung S10, but looking at the budget and prices for phones nowadays, it seems Xiaomi offers most for the money to me. Samsung lowering the specs on the regular S21, makes it less competitive in that price range, as both OnePlus as Xiaomi have better devices. Mmm, hard decision
The funny Thing is the Mi 11 has a Samsung Panel 🤣
Yep!
reason why gaming felt more fluid on mi 11 is cuz of adreno gpu on mi 11 s21 has mali gpu which isnt optimized well for gaming.
Buddy FULL HD+ Xiaomi supports 120HZ as samsung doesn't! Sorry to break it to you :) Anyways you like your Samsung Better so guess its worth paying 400$ more for nothing actually...
🤦♂️
Sir, just wow. Thanks! just preorder mi11 :}
Xiaomi sound is better
Hi, great comparison al lin all but as you switched to Highest on Genshin you did not put 60 fps - it was on 30 by default. The results may have been different.
The most impressive thing about this video is Chris's haircut. If the Police see someone with a haircut in the UK they lock them up for breaking plague restrictions. The optical zoom on the Samsung seems to be the only 'win' I personally see it having over the Xiaomi but for 400 - 500 more I doubt many could justify paying that much extra for a slightly better camera. If there is a Mi 11 Ultra or whatever it really needs a better still camera... but then, if it is thus more expensive... Back to the haircut - lock that man up for getting his hair cut! :-)
Anyway the video recording is not smooth on s21 ultra, which is really a shame for that very expensive price bracket
Looking at the pic's, the mate 40p is my favourite 😁
Why compare the best samsung phone with the worst version of mi 11 family? Lets wait for mi 11 ultra or compare mi 11 to sth in the same price setment.
You answer your own question. I can't compare phones that aren't out yet!
So all things considered mi11 is a galaxy copy with tiny differences..but like 4-500 bucks less.Seems to be a great deal. I probably will go for the mi11U though.What i dont get is,why the slower charging speed this time around?It doesnt make sense.Mi10U-27min,mi11-1 hour20mins??
Mi 11 Pro/Ultra will totally destroy the S21 ultra. I hope it will get released very soon
Please Do A Comparison Between 8Pro , oneplus and Xiaomi mi 11... Im really anxious To see if there's a difference
May i know is it worth it I upgraded from galaxy s10 plus to xiaomi mi 11 or galaxy s21 plus??
The only problem with mi 11 is the overheating...i hope xiaomi will fix it with an update...
Most English channels are praising iPhone but this guy is super honest
Wish there’s dc dimming for s21
Same it's a shame they don't give us the DC dimming it's also missing on my Galaxy Z Fold 2.
WOW!!!! Quality is almost identical by both standards. However, there are certain minute disparities that I can live with the Mi 11, especially since refinement will stabilize due time. Great content!
one of the things that i always do when buying a Xiaomi phone is to turn on developer options and then decrease all the animation options to 0.5x or even 0.25x. (down to 0.1x if you're rooted). Don't know why xiaomi still thinks animation is cool.
The answer is a big NO
IR Blaster alone makes the phone better! I have so many times used universal remote
@Marcelo Bulhões ir blaster is cheap too, wouldnt make much difference in the overall cost
I don’t get why almost only Xiaomi phones get an IR blaster this days, it’s much more useful than a macro camera for example, or MagSafe and that kind of stuff. You don’t even need stou keep and buy lots of AA batteries for remote controllers for TV’s and AC’s
Picking up a mi 11 next week
i found that in the last video that is mi11 global right? is there any different between mi11 china and mi11 global interm of heat issues?
@TechTablets so in your opinion mi11 is recommended or not?
Exactly the same
The only dissappointing thing is the storage, but that’s never been a problem for me. I’m probably going for the mi 11 as my next phone
@Riko Armando People who shit on technology are dumb in general... They're both great phones
@Manusia you are using a cheap xiaomi of course there will be ads. You dont get those on the flagship xiaomi. I'm a Note 20 Ultra user but your fanboyism bikin gua malu sumpah. Only people that dont understand technology would think that xiaomi phone is shit
@Nad K what about signal strength? My s21 ultra has constantly issues with it. So fucking annoying compare to my previous OnePlus 7t pro
@justasking yes absolutely true.
@justasking nope they are not good to much ad build quality is not really good(this is true even on their flagship smartphone) many issues necuz they make it more cheap so when they sold the issues is not being check well like the overheat issue and many others If I explain it will so hard
Based on mrwhosetheboss Xiaomi makes $2 Profit from their phones Major Profit comes from the Ads they show I am guessing Premium Devices wouldbbe slightly better than $2 and it has way less ads as they have lesser Ad on their Premium Devices. Hats off to Xiaomi.
You can get the global version of the mi11 with no bloat
OK this is clear, you're in love with your S21 no matter what...😂
Yes that's why it's up for sale, I'm selling it I'm so in love with it 🤣
Why do you hold the s 21 next to the 11 box when comparing? 🙄
Xiaomi game booster alone is phenomenal..
S21u performance in very lowlight is horrendous. My s10+ does better. So much noise reduction and jpeg compression so you lose a lot of detail. It turns into an oil painting a lot of the time. Sorry but for me this unacceptable. Finally got a reply from Samsung after almost 2 weeks on my request to return the device. Not handing over my s10+ and £800 for a phone that performs that poorly in lowlight. Stills and video.
Audio Comparison 🔉 S21Ultra sounds better
The camera performance exynos version of the s21u lets and otherwise great device down. Samsung is a bigger brand so bound to be more expensive even if they had the same spec sheet.
I think it would be more fair if you compare the mi11 to the s21 and when the mi11 ultra comes out compare it with s21 ultra
Is not better than samsung but is nice for 800$
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeddddddddd. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. nnnnneeeeeeewwwwwww. ppppphhhhhhoooooonnnnneeeeeee. iimmmmm ppppisssssseddddd ooooffffffff
seems to be a s21 review to me...my opinion, think u gave the Samsung too much positives where the other actually seems better...
