Xiaomi first unveiled the Mi 11 Ultra in India as part of the Mi 11 lineup back in April but the device wasn’t up for grabs until now. It only went on its first sale a couple of days back. The smartphone maker only made a limited number of units available. The tech giant has now announced that the Mi 11 Ultra will go on open sale in India from July 15 at 12 noon. The premium model will be available on Amazon India, mi.com, and offline via Mi Home stores as well as select retail outlets offline.

The Mi 11 Ultra is a premium smartphone in all ramifications. Aside from the sleek design, the device also boasts a waterproof build and a powerful hardware lineup. The premium device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor paired with 12GB of LPDDR 5 RAM.

It sports a massive 6.81-inch E4 AMOLED display with a Quad-HD+ resolution. The device supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a DCI-P3 color gamut. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with 67W wired and wireless charging support. Although Xiaomi shipped the device with a 55W charging brick, the Mi 67W SonicCharge Charger went on sale in India today for just Rs 1999 (~$27).

The smartphone also sports 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. It comes with Dolby Vision audio powered by Harman Kardon. It has an under-display fingerprint scanner and Face unlock support for security. The phone runs on Android 11 out of the box with MIUI 12 on top of it. Xiaomi recently pushed the MIUI 12.5 update for users in India.

Lei Jun responds to complaints about the Mi 11 Ultra’s secondary screen

Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 Ultra flagship smartphone in March this year. The flagship device was well-received but one feature that has proved controversial is the secondary display. The back panel has received mixed reactions among Mi fans. While some see nothing wrong, some others don’t seem to fancy the idea of a secondary display on the phone.

Xiaomi’s Founder/CEO Lei Jun has weighed in on the discussion, revealing some details about the screen. In his opinion, the secondary screen is not too big. Also, it didn’t cost so much to produce, meaning the effect on the price of the phone isn’t too significant. Lei Jun equally added that the only challenge Xiaomi faced in designing the secondary display is space. Recall that the Mi 11 Ultra’s display is housed in a rectangular module and also houses the rear camera sensors.

One of the respondents complained about the camera module being too big, to which the Xiaomi CEO responded that it is because the phone is targeted at professional photographers. He then recommended the Mi 11 Pro to the complainant. Further, another respondent complained about the device being too heavy. This is equally attributed to the huge camera module.

Lei Jun had earlier disclosed that the Mi 11 Ultra’s secondary screen uses an OLED panel just like the Mi Band 5. In terms of specification, the secondary display has a 1.1-inch size and it can display a variety of information. The main reason for including the display is for shooting selfies as the front display doesn’t have any cut-out for a front camera. As our review of the Mi 11 Ultra noted, the device is top-heavy but it’s really not a big issue. The secondary display doesn’t increase the thickness too much as it is just 8.38mm thick. This is even thinner than the vegan leather version of the vanilla Mi 11.

The secondary screen also displays custom time, weather, animations, and themes. Users can catch up with notifications and receive message reminders, health reminders as well as control the phone’s music player.

In the comments section of his post, Lei Jun also disclosed that the issue of users not being able to turn off the secondary screen notifications will be solved soon via a software update. The MIUI 12.5 update which ushers in DXOMARK camera optimizations will be pushed soon, Lei Jun also added.

In a Weibo post, the company says that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will be the first device in the world to feature this cooling tech. If the company’s words are true, then an organic hydrocarbon material inside will change states between solid, liquid, gas.

Now, whenever the core of the chipset heats up, this element, which is originally a solid thermal pad, will change from solid to liquid for absorbing the heat inside. Now, this heat will make the liquid evaporate and in this second phase change, it transfer the heat to the complementary VC soaking plate.

Last year, the company brought a cooling system with three main elements to the Mi 10 Ultra- graphene-copper sandwich, an additional graphene sheet, and a highly conductive film. However, it is claiming that the approach to keep the device cool will be a bit different in 2021.

Let’s wait for the launch on Monday to know more about it. Well, that’s not the only area where Mi 11 Ultra would focus. The device is taking a great leap in camera tech with a probable 50MP GN2 sensor, 48MP Periscope Telephoto, and 48MP ultrawide lenses.

The device is said to feature a 6.81-inch OLED QHD+ curved screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 888 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, 5,000mAh silicon-oxygen anode battery with 67W charging.

A Xiaomi smartphone with model number M2102K1C appears on Geekbench 5 benchmarking platform. The device scores 1,132 and 3,488 on single and multi-core scores respectively. The device in testing seems to run Snapdragon 888 chipset with Adreno 660 GPU.

The model number is said to belong to the Mi 11 Ultra and it has already been spotted on several certifications including China’s TENAA recently. Anyway, the Geekbench reveals that the device would have 12GB RAM(10.98GB relative), and run Android 11 OS.

Considering Xiaomi already unveiled the MIUI 12.5 at the Mi 11 launch event, we can expect the Mi 11 Ultra to come with it out of the box.

Xiaomi is already hinting at a 50MP GN2 sensor on the Mi 11 Ultra. The device is said to take a great leap in camera tech compared to the non-Pro, Mi 11. The huge rectangular layout on the back will also probably have 48MP Periscope Telephoto and 48MP ultrawide lenses.

Upfront, it is likely to get a 20MP front selfie camera. Speaking of which, the device is said to have a 6.81-inch OLED QHD+ curved screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Other expected features include a 5,000mAh silicon-oxygen anode battery with 67W charging, IP68 rating, Gorilla Glass Victus protection(Display).

There are chances that Xiaomi might unveil a new 67W GaN charger at the event and a similar one has already been certified by the 3C authority.
