Chinese phone maker Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 11 Ultra smartphone and one of the features of the flagship is its IP68 water-resistant build. That feature has now been put to test as the phone was unboxed underwater by a diver and this was shared by Xiaomi on Weibo.Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

The underwater unboxing of the device is a clear reflection of the success accomplished by the tech giant in producing IP68-rated phones capable of operating even in extreme conditions like underwater. Both the Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Pro are the first set of smartphones with an IP68 waterproof rating for depths up to 1.5 meters, and they are both capable of remaining underwater for up to 30 minutes.

The water-resistant and dust-resistant capabilities of the Mi 11 Ultra are due to its Gorilla Glass front, ceramic back, and aluminum frame that combines to shut out both water and dust from affecting the device.

The Mi 11 Ultra was released in March 2021 and is already on sale for about $1,440. It runs on Android 11, with an Octa-core CPU and memory ratings of 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB of internal memory.

The smartphone is also adorned with a powerful camera module, using a Samsung 1/1.12″ 50MP GN2 sensor for the main camera. In addition, a 48MP 5x periscope camera and a 48MP 12mm ultra-wide camera are also present. The exciting features of the Mi 11 Ultra will provide an instant appeal to its growing clientele, and Xiaomi is expected to reap from a projected surge in demand for waterproof-rated smartphones.

The phone is powered by the premium Snapdragon 888 5G chipset. It packs a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with 1440p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 5,000mAh capacity battery also provides greater width in operational times before needing a recharge. Fast charging is also possible, with Xiaomi claiming that it is possible to have a full charge within 36 minutes.
