It’s rare that a smartphone gets a software update after reaching the end of life (EOL), but if that happens, it essentially means the device is facing some issue — often critical issues. Well, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is receiving a new HyperOS update after reaching the end of the update cycle over a year ago.

As spotted by Ytechb, the latest update for the Mi 11 comes with the firmware version OS2.0.6.0.UKBCNXM. It’s based on Android 14 and currently rolling out to the users in China. If you’re carrying a Mi 11 in China, check for the latest update via the software update section in the Settings app.

According to the changelog, the update addresses bugs in some usage patterns. The system stability also gets better. As expected, the update doesn’t include any new features or upgrades, as such updates primarily focus on squashing bugs or critical issues. However, it’s great that Xiaomi is still committed to fixing problems on a discontinued device.

The latest update for Xiaomi Mi 11 is currently exclusive to the China ROM. However, if the same issues also affect models outside China, the update may be expanded to more regions.

If you’re still running Mi 11 as your daily driver, you’re missing out on a bundle of new features and groundbreaking upgrades, such as HyperIsland, cinematic lock screens, AI tools, cross-device connectivity, strong security features, and many more. Besides those, the Mi 11 is also not eligible for regular security patches. I would highly recommend upgrading to a newer model with longer software support. Check out the list of Xiaomi devices offering six years of software updates or four major Android OS updates.

After the Samsung app throttling debacle, it has now come to light that Xiaomi may be just as guilty. Geekbench co-founder John Poole earlier claimed on Twitter that Xiaomi is limiting performance based on app names, much like Samsung was, and revealed that disguising Geekbench as Fortnite caused the Mi 11’s single-core performance score to drop by 30% and multi-core performance score by 15%.

For that, Xiaomi has now issued an official response (via Hardware Info):

“Xiaomi applies temperature management strategies to ensure an optimal product experience, especially with demanding apps that are often used for extended periods of time. On many of our devices, we offer 3 types of performance modes, allowing users to adjust the balance between performance and energy efficiency At the system level, all optimizations related to application performance weigh many essential factors, such as power consumption, performance, and thermal impact.”

To summarize, Xiaomi hasn’t denied the allegations and has admitted to the employment of “temperature management strategies” to adjust power consumption and performance in order to “ensure an optimal product experience.”

Looks like Xiaomi is also making performance decisions based on application identifiers.

— John Poole (@jfpoole) March 27, 2022

Xiaomi also seems to be implying that the performance limitations can be bypassed to a certain degree through the built-in performance modes. Switching to the performance mode should prioritize performance at the cost of reduced battery life, so if you feel your phone’s running a little jittery, you know what to do.

However, it is worth mentioning here that the 3-level performance modes are limited to phones with high-end chips, making it likely that Xiaomi’s app-name-based throttling is a premium phone-only affair.

John Poole had previously posted some comparison data showing that Geekbench on the Xiaomi Mi 11 when disguised as Fortnite resulted in some significantly dropped scores — single-core dropped from 1,129 to 791 while multi-core dropped from 3,714 to 3,125. Similar reductions were seen when Geekbench was disguised as Genshin Impact.

Last month, Geekbench had kicked multiple Galaxy S series phones off its benchmark charts following the debacle, so it would be interesting to see how the benchmarking platform handles this new case.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship phone now has received a significant price cut in China after the Mi 11 Ultra, hinting even stronger toward a Xiaomi 12 Ultra launch. The discount is limited to the 8+128GB variant of the device and brings down its price from 3,499 Yuan (~$551) to 2,969 Yuan (~$467).

Of course, the reduced pricing is a China-exclusive thing as of now and looks limited to Xiaomi’s official online store.

There’s plenty of evidence pointing toward the Xiaomi 12 Ultra just being around the corner, although Xiaomi has yet to start teasing it, let alone make an official announcement. Most of its specifications have already been leaked and there’s even an alleged poster for the phone doing rounds, although we’d advise to take it with a pinch of salt.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 comes with a 6.81-inch 2K AMOLED display that’s curved from four sides and has a resolution of 3200×1440, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 480Hz.

Under the hood, there’s the older but still very compelling Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor. For photography, you get 108MP primary, 13MP ultrawide, and 5MP telephoto-macro units, with the main camera supporting OIS.

The battery is sized 4,600mAh with support for 55W wired and 50W wireless flash charging.

In addition, while the Mi 11 will likely be first booting into MIUI 12 out of the box, it has already received the Android 12-based MIUI 13 update.

The MIUI 13 update has undoubtedly been quite controversial, mostly due to the fact that it has presented barely anything to global users other than new wallpapers. Still, a quicker-than-last-year rollout has helped compensate for that a bit, with Android 12 now reaching a few budget devices as well. But as Xiaomiui reports, the company may have got another screw-up in its hands.

1. MIUI 13 (based on Android 12) bricks phones, thats true lol (Xiaomiui team bricked Mi11,Mi11U,Mi11Lite5G etc. thx to MIUI13 update and we paid EDL Auths for unbricking)

2. MIUI India Stable corrupts persist partition, thats why camera dies.

— xiaomiui | Xiaomi & MIUI News (@xiaomiui) March 13, 2022

Bricked devices as a result of new MIUI updates isn’t exactly something new for Xiaomi. Initial ‘stable beta’ Android 12 rollouts had late last year rendered some Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 units useless. As if that wasn’t enough, MIUI 13 now looks to be having a similar effect on not just the aforementioned devices but also the Mi 11 Lite 5G (via Notebookcheck).

So far, it appears that the issue is limited to pilot testers only. Xiaomi does notify beta testers of associated risks so it would be unfair to blow up at it. But Xiaomiui says that the Mi 11 Ultra had to actually be opened up for recovery from the bricked state, which is quite a mess.

Xiaomi is also yet to acknowledge the issue. In such a case, it is advisable for pilot testers to not flash the latest update on Mi 11 series devices and wait for the next one instead. Stable users are advised to not manually flash any experimental builds for the time being.

The technical cause is currently unknown but the problem does seem to strike upon installing the OTA through the Updater app.

The latest vanilla version of Xiaomi’s flagship series is not only a true flagship but also a compact flagship. With its small 6.28-inch display, it has dimensions similar to the iPhone 13 while providing an amazing specs sheet. It even comes with a good price, but does it offer a higher value for money than its predecessor Xiaomi Mi 11? The older Mi 11 is currently available at great street prices, that is the reason why it still represents a great option in 2022. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Xiaomi 12 and the Xiaomi Mi 11 which will help you to pick the best phone for your needs.

Xiaomi 12 vs Xiaomi Mi 11

Design

As already mentioned, the Xiaomi 12 is one of the most compact flagship phones out there. But if we exclude the dimensions, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is much more attractive in terms of design because it comes with a curved screen and a very high screen to body ratio. It is my favorite design of this comparison because of its curved screen and it is made with premium materials just like its successor: a glass back and an aluminum frame. It even comes in a special leather version, but it is exclusive for the Chinese market and you can not find it everywhere. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 is more compact and offers stronger Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Display

Despite it being an old-generation phone, the Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display. First of all, it comes with a wider diagonal: 6.81 inches, great for gamers and power users. Further, it has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels, while the Xiaomi 12 has a classic Full HD+ resolution. For the rest, these displays do not differ so much: they are both OLED panels with one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as a very high brightness (higher on the Mi 11 with a peak of 1500 nits) and in-display fingerprint scanners. In both cases, you get a great display, but the Mi 11 is superior.

Specs & Software

The mobile platform of the Xiaomi 12 did not even exist when Xiaomi Mi 11 was released for the first time. We are talking about the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, the best SoC by Qualcomm built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. It is a noticeable improvement if compared to the Snapdragon 888 found on the Xiaomi Mi 11. There are no improvements when it comes to the memory configurations: both have up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Note that the Xiaomi 12 ships with Android 12 out of the box customized by MIUI 13, while Xiaomi Mi 11 runs Android 11 and MIUI 12.5: the former will get longer software support.

Camera

The camera of the Xiaomi 12 is a bit more advanced than the one found on the Xiaomi Mi 11 because of its better main sensor: a 50 MP camera with OIS. The secondary sensors are the same: a 13 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP telephoto macro camera, but the Xiaomi 12 has a better 32 MP selfie camera which supports 1080p video recording at 60 fps.

Battery

The battery of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is slightly bigger: the capacity is 4600 mAh, while the 12 stops at 4500 mAh. But this does not mean it will provide a longer battery life: the Xiaomi 12 has a more efficient processor as it is built at 4 nm, as well as a smaller display with a lower resolution. That is why it will most likely last more on a single charge. With the Xiaomi 12, you even get fast charging speeds thanks to 67W fast charging.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 is currently available for about €500/$565 in China, while Xiaomi 12 starts from €510/$575. While the former offers a better display, the latter has a better camera, faster charging, and a superior hardware department, but it is a compact phone. So the Xiaomi 12 wins the comparison, but only for those who like having a compact phone.

News surrounding MIUI 13 has been deeply fused with rumors, many of which have already turned out to be false. Take a report from last month, for example, that set the update’s launch date as December 16 – something that now appears to be false as there’s no major launch event planned on the day.

Another report from the same source (Xiaomiui) now claims that the launch date is actually December 28, with the Mi 11 and Redmi K40 series being the very first devices to get treated to the update on the same day.

While this again is unconfirmed and nothing but a rumor, it is still more solid than other potential release dates. This is because Xiaomi had launched MIUI 12.5 on the same day last year.

The report further states that both stable and beta builds for MIUI 13 will be introduced on the very same day, which is something that hasn’t happened since MIUI 11. Xiaomi has actually been internal testing stable builds of MIUI 13 for a few recent high-end devices for around a month, so it makes sense that they would be rolled out for all now.

The source has also intercepted a bit of data from Xiaomi’s servers showing that MIUI 13 V13.0.1.0 has been prepared for the Mi 11 and Redmi K40 series already. These builds with the same version number will likely be released on December 28.

Devices that Xiaomiui says will get MIUI 13 stable on December 28th include the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Redmi K40 Pro, and the Redmi K40 Pro+. Other phones like the Xiaomi Mi 10S, Mi 11 Lite 5G, Mi MIX 4, Redmi K40, Redmi K40 Gaming, and Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G might get updated to the same as well on that day.

Do keep in mind here that none of the information above has been officially confirmed so be sure to take it with a pinch of salt.

Xiaomi has managed to keep its Xiaomi 12 flagship smartphone series strictly under the wraps, because of which barely anything is known about it at the moment. Despite this, there’s always a chance of leaks – and that’s exactly what happened when a Xiaomi 12 screen protector magically materialized in our office, giving us a deeper insight into what to expect with the company’s upcoming flagship for the first time.

Getting a hold of the piece, we did the most logical thing possible – placing it on this year’s Xiaomi Mi 11 to see what’s up. Mind you, we didn’t really apply it as it wouldn’t have fit anyway. Instead, we just positioned it atop the Mi 11, which made us notice right away that the Xiaomi 12 Pro will likely be a smaller device. Just check the image below for comparison.

Now, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a fairly large phone with an unusual screen size of 6.81-inches, which makes it near-impossible to be used with one hand. The Xiaomi 12 Pro though, appears to be in the more manageable 6.67-inches realm, making its size closer to that of the Poco F3.

Apart from that, the Xiaomi 12 Pro seems to be retaining the curved edges from the Mi 11. While the design’s usefulness is certainly quite debatable, there is no doubt about its ‘wow factor’, capable of making any device look and feel more premium immediately. Xiaomi thus seems to be holding on to it even as companies like Samsung have ditched the same. However, the curved edges do seem to be more subtle this time.

1 of 3

The Xiaomi 12 Pro screen protector further reveals that the device will be featuring a reasonably tiny, center-aligned punch-hole for the selfie camera. This signals a departure from its predecessor’s left-aligned hole.

Last but not least, the Xiaomi 12 Pro appears to be retaining the very-rounded corners from the Mi 11, although we do hope that they will be more uniform this time.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is expected to be one of the first devices to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip, if not the very first. Its production had been tipped to commence this month. As for release, a late-December launch is expected along with MIUI 13.

The Double Eleven (Nov. 11) shopping festival of China is drawing near. At present, many smartphone OEMs in China are announcing new phones and discounts on their existing devices ahead of the Double Eleven event. Today, Xiaomi took to Weibo to announce massive discounts on its smartphones like Xiaomi MIX Fold, MIX 4, Xiaomi 11 Pro, Xiaomi 11, and Xiaomi 10S.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold had debuted with a starting price of 9,999 Yuan (~$1,536) in China. With a price cut of 2,500 Yuan (~$390), it will be available with an attractive starting price of 7,499 Yuan (~$1,172). It is Xiaomi’s first foldable phone that features an 8.01-inch foldable AMOLED panel that delivers 1860 x 2480 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. It has a 6.52-inch AMOLED display that offers a 90Hz refresh rate on the outside.

The Snapdragon 888 SoC powers the MIX Fold with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. It has a 20-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel telephoto/macro liquid lens + 13-megapixel (ultrawide) triple camera unit. It houses a 5,020mAh battery, which supports 67W fast charging. For security, it features a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

The Xiaomi MIX 4 had debuted with a price of 4,999 Yuan (~$782). Now with a price drop of 800 Yuan (~$125), it will be available for 4,199 Yuan (~$657) during the 11.11 shopping festival in China. The MIX 4 is the company’s first smartphone with an under-display camera.

The MIX 4 has a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 888 SoC, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, a 20-megapixel under-display camera, and the same 108-megapixel triple camera unit as MIX Fold, a 4,500mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Both MX Fold and MIX 4 are exclusively available in China.

The Xiaomi 11 Pro is another China-exclusive phone that has received a price cut. It had debuted for 4,499 Yuan (~$703), and now it will be available for 3,999 Yuan (~$625) during the upcoming sale.

The Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 10S have received 300 Yuan (~$47) price cut. They had debuted for 3,799 Yuan (~$594) and 2,999 Yuan (~$469), and now Xiaomi has reduced their costs to 3,499 Yuan (~$547) and 2,699 Yuan (~$422) for the 11.11 sale.

Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11i, and Mi 11 Ultra smartphones are primed to enjoy the latest Android 12 stable version testing which is already in motion. Xiaomi thus joins a flurry of Android smartphone manufacturers that have kickstarted the latest iteration of the stable version of the new operating system. This program precedes the full release of the Android 12 OS subsequently.

The Xiaomi Android 12 stable testing program will involve members of the Xiaomi community getting access to the latest OS and also providing useful feedback on its performance. It is meant for users who do not mind compromising system stability and performance to test the new Android 12 OS. The testing program may be subsequently extended outside the Mi 11 series, to cater to all segments of Xiaomi’s clientele. The specific announcement was relayed to the Mi Community (Global), and applications are currently being received from MIUI Global Stable ROM users, which does not include Indian users for now.

Up to 200 testers are expected to be recruited at the first instance and the application form is still open for registration. Users are also requested to install Telegram Messenger on their smartphones so they can join the conversation and report any bugs discovered. The processes indicate that we are indeed very close to the full release of the Android 12 OS together with its impressive features and functionality. The Stable testing is also expected to be a short process and will help to finetune all the challenges and bugs inherent in the Android 12.

The post 11 Unique Phone Cases for Xiaomi Mi 11 from AliExpress appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi‘s efforts over the years in trying to ramp up sales have continued to gain traction. Not only is the brand the numberone in the smartphone and TV segment in India, it is also one of the leading brand in China. A recent research shows that the company is also the leading name in the second-hand smartphone market in China. The Chinese tech giant has again added another feature to its cap with an impress run in India’s premium smartphone market.

The company recently amplified this information but the research which revealed the progress in this segment was carried out by market research firm Counterpoint. The stats is contained in Counterpoint’s May 2021 market tracker. According to the report, Xiaomi cornered about 14% share of the market in the 20K-45K category. This places the company in a good pedestal as one of the leading and fastest-growing premium smartphone brands.

Xiaomi’s drive to enter into the premium phone segment, began with the Mi 10 series. The drive was continued with the latest crop of premium smartphones such as Mi 10i, Mi 11X, and Mi 11X Pro which have been released in India. It should be noted that the brand went from just 3% market share in the premium segment as at October 2020 to ~14% in May 2021, representing a massive growth.

The growth of Mi India in the premium segment is a reflection of th econfidentce that the brand commands presently, which in turn is the product of the brand’s assiduous effort in churning out cost-effective and drable products.

Xiaomi India’s head, Manu Kumar Jain, commenting on the success of the Mi smartphones in the premium segment stated that; “With Mi, we have focused on bringing breakthrough technologies and setting newer benchmarks for mobile innovation. With the launch of the Mi 10 and Mi 11 series in the market, we have empowered our users with a premium experience, on the back of superior design, best in class features and functionality. It is because of the trust of our consumers and Mi Fans that we have been able to reduce the gap with one of the leading premium smartphone brands. While these are early growth numbers, we are overwhelmed to see consumers upgrading to premium devices under the Mi portfolio. As we continue to grow in the market, we will look at bringing more powerful devices, and work towards making Mi a premium aspirational brand in India.”

The company’s drive in the premium segment this year began with the Mi 10i which emerged as the brand’s best-selling 5G device under 25K. The Mi 11X series was also released, registering business worth INR 300 crore in just 45 days of launch. To further ramp its share in this segment, Xiaomi will be releasing the Mi 11 Ultra flagship in India today. The premium smartphone will be available exclusively on Mi.com and Mi Homes.

Asus is not only ROG gaming phones. Despite the company axed its budget offerings, the Zenfone series is still alive and kicking with flagships being released every year. This year the Taiwanese company released the compact Zenfone 8 and the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip: both are flagship killers with unique features in the actual Android market. But in the same price range as the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip you have another stunning choice: the vanilla Xiaomi Mi 11. Is the new Asus flagship able to compete with Xiaomi’s beast or the Zenfone series is still too expensive to catch your attention? Let’s discover it together in this comparison.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Asus Zenfone 8 Flip

Design

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip is one of the few flagships without holes or other interruptions in the display (thanks to its flip-up camera). That makes it definitely interesting in terms of design. But I love the Xiaomi Mi 11 too much because of its curved screen, high screen-to-body ratio, and original rear cover, so my choice would still be the Xiaomi Mi 11. Further, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, so it should be sturdier.

Display

If you need the best display, you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 without thinking twice. Its Quad HD+ resolution provides a higher level of detail and its 120 Hz refresh rate provides a smoother viewing experience. Further, it shows up to one billion colors and it even comes with a wider diagonal for the display (6.81 inches vs 6.67 inches). Last but not least, it has a higher brightness which guarantees higher visibility under sunlight. The Zenfone 8 Flip still comes with a great display including the AMOLED technology, the HDR10+ certification, and a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it can not compete with the Xiaomi Mi 11.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 and Asus Zenfone 8 Flip are both flagships fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm, but the Mi 11 comes in a configuration with 12 GB of RAM, while Asus Zenfone 8 Flip stops at 8 GB. Further, the MIUI software found on the Xiaomi Mi 11 is richer in features than the Zen UI. On the other hand, Zenfone 8 Flip is one of the few flagships which still retain the micro SD slot to expand the internal storage.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better main camera: a 108 MP main sensor with OIS and 8K video recording support. The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip has an inferior 64 MP main sensor but superior secondary sensors, including an 8 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom (the Mi 11 lacks a telephoto sensor) and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. Further, the rear camera module of the Zenfone 8 Flip can be used as a front camera because it is a flip-up camera module.

Battery

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip has a bigger battery than Xiaomi Mi 11: while the former has a big 5000 mAh unit, the Mi 11 comes with just 4600 mAh. It is also a more efficient phone because its display is smaller and it comes with a lower resolution, so it will most likely last more on a single charge. But the Xiaomi Mi 11 wins the charging comparison: it supports fast wireless charging (which is not present on the Zenfone 8 Flip) with a power of 50W and even faster wired charging (55W vs 30W).

Price

The Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip are priced at €800/$975 in the global market (Europe). The same price for two very different phones and there is not a clear winner, despite I would definitely choose the Xiaomi Mi 11 unless the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip goes more affordable. The Xiaomi Mi 11 offers a better display, wireless charging, and faster charging speeds. With the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip, you get a more interesting camera setup and a bigger battery.

A piece of cheering news coming from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is that it had sold over 3 million units of just three products in its Mi 11 lineup of smartphones globally. Xiaomi says that the trio of Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra accounted for a substantial part of its market share in China. The combined sales figures were extracted from external sources and third-party retailers and are for the first four months of the year (January to April 2021). The company didn’t disclose how many units of each of the three models were sold.

Xiaomi continues to blossom at home in the Chinese tech market, with many high-end, high-performance products regularly showcased, together with an impressive after-sales experience. The company is also aggressively pursuing expansion in several markets outside China, making substantial inroads into previously uncharted markets in Europe and elsewhere.

Xiaomi’s Mi Store in several parts of the world provides an exceptional customer experience for users.  The expansion moves are already yielding results with an exponential increase in sales recorded in several markets.

While the Mi 11 has been on sale since January, the duo of Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra were launched in March, packed with several impressive features. The main highlight of the Ultra is the powerful camera setup it features. The models are all powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset with 5G support. They also come with strong battery performance as well as fast charging capabilities, among several other features.

Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 11 lineup consists of several other models which when factored in, are bound to increase the sales numbers released for the period under consideration.

Xiaomi Mi 11 was first announced in January this year and has been on sale since then. The sales have been pretty impressive especially as the company released it as a single variant. The Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro were only launched recently. Thus, most users who upgraded to Xiaomi’s latest flagship likely own the Mi 11.

However, the flagship device has been plagued with a few minor issues which thankfully affected just a few users. Recently, we reported the burnt motherboards issue lodged by some users in China. A new complaint is now springing up from Mi 11 users in China. Some users have complained that their WiFi module abruptly stopped working for no reason.

The issue apparently affects not just one but a large number of users. But there are several others who say their Mi 11 Wifi module works just fine. This is perhaps why the company is yet to say anything about the issue. The Mi 11 is one of the first models to launch with the Snapdragon 888 chipset and there have been complaints before now of excessive hotness sometimes, high power consumption, and lower battery life.

Several reasons have been adduced by netizens as to why the issue popped up. A widely held view is that it is caused by serious flaws in the motherboard design. While some believe it is a production defect, some say the motherboard may have been affected by the overheating issue which may have soldered the WiFi module to the motherboard. However, a tech geek countered this by saying that chips are soldered using a high-temperature tin with a melting point close to 300 degrees. While the CPU heats up to more than 100 degrees during extreme use, it is unlikely to cause false soldering.

Further, the WiFi and Bluetooth modules are integrated on the same chip and so, if this chip is burned it should affect both the WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity instead of just the WiFi. Thus, this may be a production issue affecting a certain batch of the Mi 11 and if it is really a design issue, Xiaomi may need to recall the batch.

What makes this even more interesting is reports that posts with contents relating to this issue on the official Xiaomi community have begun to be blacklisted and deleted by the moderators. There is precedence to this sort of behavior but that will definitely not kill the matter. We expect Xiaomi to come out with an official statement instead of trying to silence complainants.

We await an official statement from Xiaomi about this issue.

The OnePlus 9 is finally official and just like the previous years, it includes the vanilla OnePlus 9 and a Pro variant. The former is the device you actually need if you are searching for a great flagship but you want to save some money. It belongs to a segment that became a lot more important than top-tier flagships and it has a lot of rivals. Among the best ones in the global market, we got the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OPPO Find X3 Neo. In this flagship killers comparison, you will learn the differences between these three amazing devices.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OnePlus 9 vs OPPO Find X3 Neo

Design

You should not go for the OnePlus 9 if you are looking for the best design. Despite it may be better in terms of usability, it lacks a curved display and it is less elegant than its two rivals. Due to the bigger dimensions of the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the lighter design of the OPPO Find X3 Neo, I actually prefer the OPPO Find X3 Neo built with premium material, sporting a display with curved edges. I also love its original color variants.

Display

The best display is the one provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11. Besides coming with a wider diagonal which is comfortable for power users, it has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels. Further, it has a very high 1500-nit peak brightness, it shows up to one billion colors, it has a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. The second place goes to the OnePlus 9, at least on the paper, due to its 120 Hz refresh rate (OPPO Find X3 Neo has just 90 Hz).

Hardware/Software

With the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OnePlus 9, you can get better hardware. They are both fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, actually the best chipset by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The OPPO Find X3 Neo has a weaker Snapdragon 865 which is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset of 2020, but the memory configuration is the same. You get three different user interfaces: the Xiaomi Mi 11 has MIUI, the OnePlus 9 comes with OxygenOS, and OPPO Find X3 Neo has ColorOS: all of them are great customized UIs.

Camera

The most advanced cameras belong to the OPPO Find X3 Neo. The OnePlus 9 has the best ultrawide sensor, but the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides a superior 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a telephoto sensor with optical zoom (which is not present on Xiaomi Mi 11 and OnePlus 9), and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has an amazing 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording capabilities but unfortunately is secondary sensors are pretty disappointing.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 11 has a slightly bigger battery, but due to its higher resolution and wider display, it does not provide the longest battery life. The OnePlus 9 should be able to last more with its FHD+ smaller display and 5 nm chipset. OnePlus 9 and OPPO Find X3 Neo have faster wired charging technologies, while Xiaomi Mi 11 has faster wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Unfortunately, OPPO Find X3 Neo lacks wireless charging.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OnePlus 9 vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X3 Neo carry a €799/$950 price tag in the global market, while the OnePlus 9 costs €699/$832. There is not a suitable winner for everyone in this comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display and wireless charging technology, and it is definitely superior to the OnePlus 9. But the OPPO Find X3 Neo provides the best camera department: for several people, it provides more value than a slightly better display/processor. Which one would you pick?

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OnePlus 9 vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days ago, Xiaomi officially launched its much-awaited high-end smartphones — Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra. Recently, the devices went on sale for the first time and now the company has revealed some details about that.

Xiaomi claims that the combined sales of both the phones — Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro generated 1.2 billion yuan ($182.85 million) that too within just one minute. The company has also said that all the variants of Mi 11 Ultra are now out of stock.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra comes with a four curved 6.8-inch E4 AMOLED screen on the front with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s also Gorilla Glass Victus protection and the screen comes with Dolby Vision support.

There’s also a secondary display at the back that allows users to take high-resolution selfies from its rear cameras. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, coupled with LPDDR5 RAM.

On the back, there’s a triple camera module with a Samsung GN2 50MP primary shooter, paired with a 48MP Sony IMX586 Ultra Wide and TeleMacro lens. On the front side, there’s a 20MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

In the software department, it runs the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box along with the company’s MIUI on top. As for the battery, the Mi 11 Ultra features a 5000mAh capacity battery with 67W wired and wireless charging.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro

The smartphone features a 6.81-inch curved Samsung E4 AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The 10bit display also has Dolby Vision, a first for a Xiaomi phone. It offers a maximum brightness of 1700 nits and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. There is a phase-changing cooling system that helps to keep the device cool.

In the camera department, there’s a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN2 super sensor with a 1/1.12″ sensor size. There’s also an 8MP f/3.4 periscope zoom lens and a 13MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera. It also comes with a 20MP front snapper for taking selfies.

There is also NFC, an IR blaster, Wi-Fi 6E, and an IP68 rating which is also a first for a Xiaomi phone. The Mi 11 Pro runs MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 out of the box. It is powered by a 5000mAh battery which supports 67W wired and 67W wireless fast charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

After releasing the vanilla Xiaomi Mi 11 a few months ago, during the big event held on March 29, Xiaomi came up with four new handsets of the Mi 11 series, three of which are flagships! The top-tier one is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, while the remaining ones are flagship killers just like the vanilla Mi 11. But which is the best flagship from the Mi 11 series? A lot of people are wondering and we decided to write a comparison between the models from the lineup close to each other. We are talking about the Xiaomi Mi 11, the Mi 11i, and the Mi 11 Pro: go ahead to learn all the main differences.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro

Design

If you desire to have the most beautiful design of the Mi 11 series, you should go either for the Xiaomi Mi 11 or the Mi 11 Pro. They feature exactly the same design including a display with curved edges and a compact camera module. But there is an important difference between these two handsets if we talk about the build quality: the Mi 11 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while the vanilla Mi 11 does not offer any kind of certification against water and dust. The Xiaomi Mi 11i is less attractive due to its uglier camera module and flat display with a lower screen-to-body ratio, but it is more compact than Mi 11 and 11 Pro.

Display

Do you need the best display? Then, again, you need to go either for the Xiaomi Mi 11 or the Mi 11 Pro. They come with the same high-end display: an AMOLED panel that shows up to one billion colors, with a 120 Hz refresh rate, brightness up to 1500 nits, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as the high Quad HD+ resolution. The Xiaomi Mi 11i has a cheaper panel with a Full HD+ resolution, lower brightness, and a lower amount of colors, but it retains the HDR10+ certification and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11i, and Mi 11 Pro are all fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, which is actually the best SoC released by Qualcomm and provides flagship-class performance. You can get up to 12 GB of RAM with the vanilla Mi 11 and the Mi 11 Pro, while the Mi 11i only comes with 8 GB of RAM. The maximum amount of internal storage is the same: 256 GB UFS 3.1. All the phones run Android 11 customized by MIUI, but the Mi 11 Pro runs MIUI 12.5 out of the box, instead of MIUI 12.

Camera

The most advanced camera department belongs to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro: it is composed of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a periscope sensor with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. The Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Mi 11i lack a periscope sensor and they do not even have a telephoto lens. The Mi 11 is actually better than the Mi 11i because it comes with OIS and a better ultrawide camera (with a higher 13 MP resolution).

Battery

With the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, you get the biggest battery (5000 mAh) and the longest battery life. Further, it supports the fastest wired charging technology and the fastest wireless charging technology with 67W power. Xiaomi Mi 11 has wireless charging too, but with slower speeds, while Mi 11i lacks wireless charging.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 launched in the global market with a €799/$940 starting price, while Mi 11i will sell for €649/$765 in its base variant. The Mi 11 Pro only debuted in China and it is not available globally. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro obviously wins the comparison with its better cameras, bigger battery, and faster charging speeds, but the Xiaomi Mi 11i has the highest value for money while still retaining the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Earlier today, we saw that Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra beat the 2021 flagship Mi 11 to get the stable MIUI 12.5 update in China. Now, the latter is finally getting it in the home country.

An update with firmware version V12.5.1.0.RKBCNXM is rolling out to select users of the Xiaomi Mi 11 in China. It brings the latest MIUI 12.5 and March 2021 security patch to the device. If you recall, the flagship smartphone debuted in December 2020 but had MIUI 12 based on Android 11 and not the newer 12.5.

However, the company unveiled the incremental MIUI 12.5 at the event and said that Xiaomi Mi 11 would be one of the first ones to get it later in the year. The company then went on to release the Mi 11 and MIUI 12.5 globally.

Besides, Xiaomi unveiled the new members of the Mi 11 series- Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra yesterday. Unlike the Mi 11, these devices come with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 out of the box.

Either way, the Mi 11 will get all the goodies of MIUI 12.5 like Design improvements, more Super wallpapers, improved privacy, haptics, MIUI+, uninstallable built-in apps, and more. As for the rollout, since it’s still in the Stable Beta stage, it will be rolled out to a few users as mentioned above. After ensuring that it is void to major bugs the wider rollout will begin.

That said, Mi 11 won’t be the loner to get the latest UI in China as a list of 27 other devices are scheduled in the near future.

Similar to China’s schedule, the Mi 11 devices around the globe are likely to receive the MIUI 12.5 stable update around Q2, 2021. After this, expect the update to trickle down to the older flagships as well.

A few hours ago, Xiaomi held a big event where several Mi 11 phones have been unveiled. Now, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is the smartphone series with the highest amount of flagships. Besides the Mi 11, now the lineup also contains the Mi 11i which is actually a rebrand of the Redmi K40 Pro+, but for the global market. What about China and the Asian market? The main flagship killers that can be considered rivals of the vanilla Mi 11 at the moment are the Realme GT and the Redmi K40 Pro. Do they offer a higher value for money than Mi 11? This comparison will clear your ideas in regards.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Realme GT vs Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro

Design

The most stunning design is the one of the Xiaomi Mi 11, in my honest opinion. Those curved edges and the original camera module make the difference. But if you take the leather variant of the Realme GT, you will see a device that is as beautiful as the standard Mi 11. However, the Xiaomi Mi 11 comes in a leather variant as well. The design is not the strongest point of the Redmi K40 Pro, but it has the IP53 certification, so it is protected from splashes and dust.

Display

There is no challenge: the Xiaomi Mi 11 is the display champion here. First of all, it is the only one with a Quad HD+ resolution, so it provides a higher level of detail and image clarity. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors and it has a higher 1500 nit peak brightness. The phone also comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and a wide 6.81-inch diagonal. Right after, we got the Redmi K40 Pro featuring a 6.67-inch display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+, as well as a high 1300 nit peak brightness.

Hardware/Software

All of these phones are powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which provides flagship-class performance levels. What changes are the memory configurations: with the Redmi K40 Pro, you do not get more than 8 GB of RAM, while Xiaomi Mi 11 and Realme GT 5G provide up to 12 GB of RAM. The software is exactly the same on Mi 11 and Redmi K40 Pro (MIUI), while you get a different user interface with the Realme GT 5G (Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11).

Camera

Despite it is not a flagship camera phone, the Xiaomi Mi 11 also provides a better main camera: it is a 108 MP sensor with OIS. Redmi K40 Pro and Realme GT have an inferior 64 MP main camera and they lack OIS, so they can not be considered high-end camera phones, unlike the Mi 11.

Battery

There should not be huge differences between the battery life of these three devices, given the similar battery capacities and components. Xiaomi Mi 11 should have a higher consumption due to its bigger display with a higher resolution. On the other hand, it is the only one with wireless charging and we are talking about very fast 50W wireless charging. But the Realme GT is the fastest charging phone with its 65W SuperDart charging technology.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Realme GT vs Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro: Price

Realme GT 5G is priced at less than €360/$424 and Redmi K40 Pro costs more or less €259/$305 in China, while you need about €517/$600 for the Xiaomi Mi 11. While the Mi 11 is the best phone in this comparison, the Realme GT 5G provides the highest value for money: I prefer it to the Redmi K40 Pro due to its faster charging technology, but if you do not care about it, the Redmi K40 Pro can let you save even more money.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Realme GT vs Redmi K40 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s second-generation Ultra flagship is here and just like in 2020, the new model doesn’t disappoint. The phone brings in new technology in a refined form factor and is placed above the Mi 11 Pro, which is already a powerful 2021 flagship.

So how does the Mi 11 Ultra distinguish itself from the Pro?

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Design & Display

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra comes in just two color options – White Ceramic and Black. Both the colors look very elegant and premium. The camera housing is in black and covers almost the entire upper half of the device.

There are three cameras at the back along with a secondary display that shows you the notifications, battery level, weather, health alerts, and other essential information. There’s also a special Ultra-Low Power saving mode that utilizes this tiny screen to give you up to 55 hours of additional standby time.

However, Xiaomi says that the most important function of the secondary display at the back is to allow high-resolution selfies from its rear cameras.

The display is exactly the same as the Mi 11 Pro, so you get a four curved 6.8-inch E4 AMOLED screen on the front with QHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate. You also have Gorilla Glass Victus protection as the Pro model as well as Dolby Vision support.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is IP68 certified as well. You also get Harmon Kardon stereo speakers.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Hardware

The rest of the hardware is the same as the Mi 11 Pro. So the Mi 11 Ultra comes with Snapdragon 888 with LPDDR5 RAM 6400Mbps and UFS 3.1. You get Wi-Fi 6 Enhanced support as well.

Coming to the battery, the Mi 11 Ultra features a 5000mAh capacity battery with 67W wired and wireless charging.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Cameras

One of the biggest differentiators between the Mi 11 Pro and the Mi 11 Ultra is in their camera departments. The phone features a powerful triple camera setup featuring the same Samsung GN2 50MP primary shooter but with two additional 48MP Sony IMX586 Ultra Wide and TeleMacro cameras.

The 50MP Samsung GN2 comes with 61 degrees FoV with a very sharp focus thanks to dToF technology that features 64 point laser array focus system.

The 48MP Ultra Wide Camera comes with a very wide 128-degree FoV and the third 48MP TeleMacro camera comes with 5x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom.

Xiaomi said at the event that the brand has worked hard on the Ultra Night Photo algorithms which combined with the 1/1.5″ large 50MP sensor ensures that you get clear and colorful photos even when the lighting goes down. In fact, the company directly compared the Mi 11 Ultra’s camera to a Sony RX100 M7 compact camera and showed how the former’s camera setup is capable of capturing better low light images.

The Mi 11 Ultra can capture 8K videos from all the 3 camera sensors including the telemacro shooter.

Thanks to this powerful setup, the Mi 11 Ultra has managed to score 143 on DxOMark, making it the best smartphone camera setup on the platform right now.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Pricing & Availability

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra starts at 5999 yuan ($914) for its 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM version. The 12GB + 256GB version retails for 6499 yuan ($990) while the top end 12GB + 512GB version will retail for 6999 yuan ($1065).

Xiaomi Mi 11 Marbled Ceramic Special Edition will go on sale for 6999 yuan ($1065).

All versions will go on sale from April 2 in China. No word on global availability yet.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra launched with Two displays, 50MP Triple Cameras and 67W charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi will be holding a global launch event today at 7:30 PM (GMT+8) to announce the new Mi 11 series of smartphones. Ahead of the launch, reputed tipster Evan Blass shared a render to reveal the Mi 11 phones that will go official today.

In the image, the Xiaomi Mi 11i and already unveiled Xiaomi Mi 11 5G can be seen towards the left. At the center is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Lite 4G and Mi 11 Lite 5G are placed on the right.

Reports have claimed the Xiaomi Mi 11i could be a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Pro+. The Mi 11 debuted in December 2020 as the world’s first Snapdragon 888 SoC-powered handset in China. It is already available in global markets.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is expected to arrive as the most powerful flagship phone from the brand. It will be the company’s first IP68 rated smartphone. Past reports have claimed that the Mi 11 Ultra will offer specs like a 6.81-inch S-AMOLED curved edge QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 888, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, a 20-megapixel selfie camera, Harman Kardon dual speakers, an in-screen fingerprint reader, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, 67W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse charging.

The major attraction of the phone will be its triple camera system, which includes a Samsung GN2 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 48-megapixel telephoto snapper. The camera module also features a secondary screen for capturing selfies through rear cameras. It can also display notifications.

The Mi 11 Lite is expected to arrive with specs like a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate support, Snapdragon 732G chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, a 20-megapixel front camera, a 64-megapixel triple camera system, and a 4,520mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

The Mi 11 Lite 5G is expected to arrive as the first phone fueled by the all-new Snapdragon 780G chipset. In China, this may go official with Mi 11 Youth Edition moniker. The company may also announce the Mi 11 Pro phone today. Probably, this phone may debut as a China-exclusive smartphone.

Meizu abandoned the European market a long time ago, but it is still very strong in China and still comes up with amazing flagship phones. The latest one is the Meizu 18 Pro, released just a few days ago with incredible specifications. Despite this phone will only be sold in China, it has nothing to envy to the flagship from the most important Chinese brands in the global market, including the Xiaomi Mi 11. But does it make sense to choose it instead of such a famous device? This specs comparison between Xiaomi Mi 11 and Meizu 18 Pro will clear your ideas.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Meizu 18 Pro

Design

Xiaomi Mi 11 and Meizu 18 Pro offer a stunning design made with premium materials. The former has a higher screen-to-body ratio, while the latter is more compact and lighter. While you get a slightly more impressive look with the Xiaomi Mi 11, the Meizu 18 Pro, unlike its rival, comes with water resistance: it is a waterproof phone and this is a big added value when you evaluate the build quality. On the other hand, the display of the Mi 11 is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, stronger than Gorilla Glass 6 found on the Meizu. If we only consider the aesthetics, I would actually go for the Meizu 18 Pro because it is a waterproof phone.

Display

These phones are equipped with astonishing displays. We are talking about AMOLED panels boasting a Quad HD+ resolution and very high peak brightness. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is actually superior because it is able to show up to one billion colors and it has higher 1500 nits peak brightness. But the Meizu 18 Pro remains one of the best smartphones out there in terms of displays. With both these phones, you get a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 and Meizu 18 Pro are two flagships powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform: the best SoC released by Qualcomm this year. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM (LPDDR5) and up to 256 GB of internal storage (UFS 3.1). Given that they have exactly the same hardware department, the software makes the difference. You might like it or not, but the MIUI 12 is actually a more advanced user interface compared to Flyme 9.

Camera

The Meizu 18 Pro is an amazing camera phone and, on paper, it has a better camera setup than Xiaomi Mi 11. It consists of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, an 8 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, a 32 MP ultrawide sensor, and a TOF 3D camera for better depth info calculation. Unfortunately, with the Xiaomi Mi 11, you do not get a telephoto sensor and the ultrawide camera is an inferior 13 MP sensor. The Meizu 18 Pro wins even when it comes to selfies thanks to its 44 MP front camera.

Battery

The difference between the battery capacities of these two handsets is not big: Xiaomi Mi 11 has a 4600 mAh battery and Meizu 18 Pro offers 4500 mAh despite its overall dimensions are smaller. There should be only marginal differences between the battery life of these flagships. But with the Xiaomi Mi 11, you get slightly higher charging speeds, thanks to a power of 50W for both wired charging and wireless charging.

Price

The base variant of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is priced at about €518/$614 in China, while you need €640/$759 to purchase the base variant of the Meizu 18 Pro. There is not a definitive winner of this comparison as it depends on your actual needs. The Meizu 18 Pro has better cameras and (unlike the Xiaomi Mi 11) it is a waterproof phone, while Xiaomi Mi 11 offers a better software experience, a slightly better display, and faster charging speeds. Which one would you pick?

Xiaomi recently started selling its Mi 11 flagship smartphone and is now gearing up to launch new devices in the coming weeks. It is set to launch a new variant of the Mi 11 smartphone, which could be Mi 11 Pro or Ultra, and a 67W charger for the same, with model number MDY-12-EF, which has already passed 3C certification.

In line with that, well-known leakster ‘Digital Chat Station’ now claims that Xiaomi is gearing up to launch several new products in the month of March and April. This includes flagship-grade phones, a foldable-screen phone, a new gaming smartphone, an ultra-thin phone, and an entry-level 5G phone.

Some reports indicate that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra could soon get launched, with support for a 120x zoom, similar to what the company used in the Mi 10 Ultra. It is expected to pack 50MP + 48MP wide-angle lens + 48MP zoom camera. The device will be running the MIUI 12.5 custom UI and have 67W wireless charging support.

As for the smartphone with a foldable screen, a device with model number M2011J18C has passed the TENAA certification but more information about the smartphone isn’t available yet. This will be the company’s first foldable smartphone and is expected to have an inward folding mechanism.

Another device with model number M2101K9C has passed TENAA certification which features a 6.55-inch display with a punch-hole in the top-left corner and has a battery capacity of 4,150mAh. The device is quite thin in measurement and is expected to be the Mi 11 Youth Edition.

Coming to the gaming smartphone, it is likely to be a device under the Black Shark lineup. The company has already confirmed that it will be launching its next-generation gaming smartphone — Black Shark 4 on 23th March in China.

The post Xiaomi to launch several new productions in few weeks, including Mi 11 Ultra and entry-level 5G phone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Both Realme and Xiaomi finally launched their new flagships for 2021. Xiaomi came up with the Mi 11, which is actually a device in the middle between a flagship killer and a top-tier flagship. On the other hand, Realme GT 5G is more similar to a flagship killer since it comes with more compromises and a more affordable price tag. Which is the best device between these two amazing flagships and which one delivers the highest value for money to the mobile devices market? This comparison between their specifications will let you find out.

Xiaomi Mi 11 5G vs Realme GT 5G

Design

If we consider the standard editions of these devices, the Xiaomi Mi 11 looks more attractive because of its curved screen, as well as a higher screen-to-body ratio and a more original glass back. It also provides a great build quality with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the display, while the rear glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. On the other hand, the Realme GT 5G is more compact, so easier to use with one hand, and more comfortable to keep in a pocket. Both Xiaomi Mi 11 and Realme GT 5G come in special leather variants.

Display

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display if compared to the Realme GT 5G. It is an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors, with the HDR10+ certification and a peak brightness of 1500 nits. Further, it comes with a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels. The Realme GT 5G still offers a very nice display with AMOLED technology and a 120 Hz refresh rate, but there is no way for it to compete with the Xiaomi Mi 11 in terms of image quality.

Specs & Software

With the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Realme GT 5G, you get the same hardware department. It is composed of a Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which is actually the best Qualcomm chip, up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The performances provided by these devices are very similar and both are flagship-class when it comes to the hardware. The phones run Android 11 customized by MIUI and Realme UI, respectively. They do not support expandable storage, but they have 5G and a dual SIM slot.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 11 wins the comparison even when it comes to the camera department. It has a way better 108 MP main camera with OIS, supported by a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and a 5 MP macro camera. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is able to record videos with an 8K resolution. The Realme GT 5G lacks OIS and it has an inferior 64 MP main camera. Its secondary sensors (an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera) are inferior as well.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Realme GT 5G feature similar battery capacity, even though the Realme GT 5G is more compact. The former offers a 4600 mAh battery, while the latter has a 4500 mAh capacity. Realme GT 5G has a slightly smaller battery, but its display is more efficient since it is smaller and features a lower resolution. With the GT, you get faster charging with 65W power, but unlike the Xiaomi Mi 11, it lacks wireless charging. The Xiaomi Mi 11 supports 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Price

Realme GT 5G debuted in China with a starting price of about €359/$427. In order to get a unit of the Xiaomi Mi 11 in the Chinese market, you need about €519/$618, while it costs €799 in the global market. The Realme GT 5G is still not available in the global market, so we still do not know how much it will cost globally. Xiaomi Mi 11 is definitely a superior phone, but with the Realme GT 5G, you get a higher value for money. You just have to face three main compromises: you must say goodbye to a top-tier display, a high-end camera, and wireless charging.

OPPO just released the Find X3 series. While Europe got the Find X3 Pro, the Find X3 Neo, and the Find X3 Lite, OPPO launched the vanilla Find X3 and the Find X3 Pro in China since the Neo and Lite variants are already present in the country under the Reno5 series. The vanilla OPPO Find X3 is a perfect competitor of the best flagship by Xiaomi: the Mi 11. Both are flagship phones but they do not carry top-tier prices due to a few compromises in their specifications. Is it worth going for the OPPO Find X3 or the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a better choice? This specs comparison will clear your idea.

The most stunning design belongs to the OPPO Find X3. Its “impossible surface” is very attractive with its curves, especially if we look at the camera module. But the Xiaomi Mi 11 comes in a special leather variant which may be the preferred one for several users. Unlike the Xiaomi Mi 11, the OPPO Find X3 is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while its rival does not offer certification against water and dust. Further, the OPPO Find X3 is actually more compact thanks to its smaller display.

Display

The differences are not huge in terms of specifications, but the OPPO Find X3 has a superior display. It is a real 10-bit panel with the LTPO technology (adaptive refresh rate from 5 Hz to 120 Hz) allowing for lower energy consumption, the HDR10+ certification, the BT.2020 standard, and a Quad HD+ resolution. The display has curved edges and a diagonal of 6.7 inches, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a wider 6.81-inch panel, but it is actually inferior in terms of image quality. On the other hand, it should be sturdier since it is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus.

Specs & Software

If you want the most powerful hardware, you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, which is actually the best one released by Qualcomm. With the Find X3, you actually get a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform that is an upgrade of the Snapdragon 865+. The chipsets are paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Xiaomi Mi 11 runs Android 11 customized by MIUI 12, while its opponent has ColorOS 11.2.

Camera

On the paper, the OPPO Find X3 is a better camera phone than the Xiaomi Mi 11. It is equipped with two Sony IMX766 main cameras with a 50 MP resolution, one of which is an ultrawide sensor sporting omnidirectional autofocus. Then you get a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom and an amazing 3 MP macro camera with a LED ring that is able to offer up to 60x magnification. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mi 11 lacks a telephoto sensor: it has a 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording and OIS, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 5 MP macro camera.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a slightly bigger 4600 mAh battery, but it is still unclear which one will last more on a single charge since the OPPO Find X3 has just been announced. The Find X3 offers faster wired charging speeds, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 is faster when it comes to wireless charging. Both support reverse wireless charging.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 in China is about €600/$720, just like the OPPO Find X3. So which one is worth going for? Well, in my honest opinion, OPPO Find X3 is a more interesting phone. It has a weaker processor, but for the rest, it is actually superior. It is waterproof, it has better cameras and even a better display. Further, the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform is enough to handle every kind of activity with blazing speeds in 2021.

When Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 flagship earlier this ear, the company skipped the Mi 11 Pro which used to be a part of the flagship series right from time. The company didn’t even make any information available if it will launch a Pro version for the Mi 11.

A Weibo tipster has now revealed that the Mi 11 Pro will be launched in mid-March. He also disclosed that the flagship model will be launched alongside the Mi 11 Pro Ultra. This is still a rumor but it aligns with a previous rumor that the Mi 11 Pro will launch in March. Xiaomi is yet to reveal any detail about the launch.

The Mi 11 Pro is said to retain the design style of the Mi 11 but will have some upgrades in areas such as the camera and charging technology. The Mi 11 Pro will have a periscope telephoto lens and 120W fast charging technology just like on the Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative edition. Further, the Mi 11 Pro is expected to pack a 6.81-inch 2K quad curved display with a resolution of 3200x1440p. The display will support 120Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate.

Recently, a set of protective cases said to be for the Mi 11 Pro appeared online. The renders give us a look at the rear camera design of the Mi 11 Pro. The leak shows the camera will be similar to the Mi 11 with three sensors but at the bottom, the square-shaped module solidifies rumors of a periscope camera onboard the device.

In addition, the Mi 11 Pro will also have an improved main camera sensor. It will reportedly launch with Samsung’s latest ISOCELL GN2 sensor, which has 50-megapixels and a 1/2.12-inch ultra-large aperture which is currently the largest in the industry.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will reportedly launch in mid-March appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi recently launched its flagship smartphone Mi 11, which became the world’s first smartphone to come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. The device, which went on a few weeks ago, is seeing a huge demand.

The smartphone, which is being sold through flash sales in China, is getting sold out relatively sooner in each sale. Because of the high demand and low supply, the device is also being sold at a premium.

If the latest report is to be believed, then the low-stock issue for the Xiaomi Mi 11 isn’t going away anytime soon. It is being reported that the company is facing a production issue because of the global chip shortage.

With the rising demand for consumer electronics since last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the manufacturers aren’t able to meet the demand for the chipsets. This comes after Qualcomm was said to be facing issues, which in turn is affecting companies like Xiaomi and Realme. But, some experts believe that the chip shortage issue for smartphone makers isn’t very severe and won’t affect many companies.

The severely hit industry because of the shortage of chips is automobile. Many car makers have been forced to shut down some of their production facilities because of this chip shortage and it seems like it will take some time to get back on track.

We are still in March and Xiaomi already released two flagships in 2021. We are talking about the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Redmi K40 Pro+. Actually, they are not among the best flagships in the market: despite the higher price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 compared to the previous models, it can still be considered a flagship killer, just like the Redmi K40 Pro+ recently launched in the Chinese market. But which one offers the highest value for money? Does it make sense to spend more for the Xiaomi Mi 11 or the Redmi K40 Pro+ is actually enough for your needs? This comparison between their specifications and features will help you find out.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro Plus

Design

The Redmi K40 Pro+ is a more compact phone, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 has a more attractive design mainly because of its curved display. The display with curved edges offers a higher screen-to-body ratio and makes the phone look more futuristic. On the other hand, as mentioned above, the Redmi K40 Pro+ is a more compact and thinner phone. The Redmi K40 Pro+ also features the IP53 certification which guarantees protection against dust and splashes, while Xiaomi Mi 11 has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, so it offers a great build quality too. Despite the more compact body of the Redmi K40 Pro+, Xiaomi Mi 11 wins the design comparison.

Display

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display than the Redmi K40 Pro+ and this is one of the most important differences between these two flagship killers. With the Xiaomi Mi 11, you get a higher Quad HD+ resolution and the capability to show up to one billion colors, as well as a higher 1500 nits peak brightness. The Redmi K40 Pro+ has still an amazing display, but the resolution is lower (Full HD+), the color reproduction is actually inferior and so is the brightness.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 and Redmi K40 Pro+ are both powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, they offer up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Given that they have the same software as well, you should get a very similar level of performance. Both the phones are based on Android 11, but given that the Redmi K40 Pro+ is only available in China, it only comes without Google Mobile Services and with the Chinese ROM. Whatever you choose, you won’t have to worry about the performance.

Camera

You can get a better camera setup with the Xiaomi Mi 11. Both the phones pack a 108 MP main camera, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 is the only one with OIS. Further, it features a better ultrawide camera with a 13 MP resolution, while you get just 8 MP with the Redmi K40 Pro+. The rest of the camera departments are composed of a 5 MP macro camera and a 20 MP front camera. The optical stabilization allows the Mi 11 to click better photos and record better videos and the 13 MP camera allows it to capture ultrawide photos with a higher level of detail.

Battery

With the Xiaomi Mi 11, you get a slightly bigger 4600 mAh since its bigger dimensions leave room for a bigger battery. But this does not mean that the Mi 11 will have a longer battery life: the Redmi K40 Pro+ has a lower display resolution and a lower brightness, so the battery life should not be so different from its older sibling. What really makes the difference on the battery side is charging technologies. The Mi 11 supports 55W fast charging, while you get 33W fast charging with the Redmi K40 Pro+. Further, the Mi 11 supports wireless charging (with a 50W power) and reverse wireless charging, while Redmi K40 Pro+ does not.

Price

The Xiaomi Mi 11 carries a starting price of €749/$905 in the global market. The Redmi K40 Pro+ is not available globally, you can only buy it in China for €470/$568. The Mi 11 is a superior phone, but if you do not mind having a better display, camera, and wireless charging, you can save a lot of money by choosing the Redmi K40 Pro+.

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 11 in late December 2020 in China. The handset made its global debut in Europe earlier this month. Now, weeks later, the company has officially confirmed to launch this smartphone in Singapore on February 25.

According to a post by Xiaomi Singapore, the Mi 11 flagship smartphone will be presented in the country on February 25. The device’s launch event will be livestreamed on Facebook, starting at 20:00 GMT+8. 

For those unaware, the Mi 11 is Xiaomi’s first premium smartphone of 2021. This phone is expected to be joined by at least three more models, namely Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, and Mi 11 Lite in the near future

The Mi 11 brings a new design, better display (6.81-inch WQHD+ 120Hz quad-curved panel), and 5nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. Some of the bonuses include a dual-stereo speaker setup tuned by Harmon Kardon, optional vegan leather finishes, 55W wired fast charging, and 50W wireless fast charging.

As for optics, the handset house a triple camera setup, which includes a 108MP primary sensor paired with a 13MP ultra-wide unit and a 5MP telemacro snapper. Whereas, on the front, it sports a 20MP punch-hole camera.

In our review, we described the Mi 11 to be ‘the best value Snapdragon 888 flagship to beat in 2021’. However, it is worth noting that our unit (Chinese variant) was also riddled with bugs.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Singapore launch set for February 25 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 888 chipset at the Snapdragon summit last year. This flagship chipset has an Adreno 660 GPU promising 35% improved performance while its predecessor, the Snapdragon 865 has an Adreno 650 with 10% better Graphics rendering. Now, a Chinese Media Lei Technology has overclocked the GPU on the Snapdragon 865 on the Xiaomi Mi 10 and bid it against the 2021’s Mi 11.

According to the report, a GPU OVerclocking application named KonaBess has been used for this test. For this, the device has to be obviously rooted with Bootloader unlocked. Anyway, after doing it, they have compared the results of Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi 11.

The report has used reference Theoretical benchmarks like AnTuTu, Geekbench, 3DMark, and some real-world gaming tests.

First off, the Mi 10 scores on AnTuTu jumps from 560,000 to 620,000 after overclocking the GPU. In the screenshots, you can see that the GPU score has specifically jumped from 219,252 to 273,252 which is a bit closer to Mi 11’s 301,076 GPU score. Similarly, in Geekbench 5, the device scored 4282(OpenCL), 3929(Vulkan), and 4995 in 3DMark tests.

Before overclocking, it had scored 3034(OpenCL), 2954(Vulkan), 3761(3DMark) points respectively. In comparison, the Xiaomi Mi 11 scores 699,841 and 5,628 points in AnTuTu and 3DMark respectively.

1 of 4

In short, Overclocking the GPU brings about a 30% improvement in GPU performance on the Snapdragon 865-powered Xiaomi Mi 10. However, its theory scores are still away from the successor.

For real-world tests, the report says that they played decent graphic-intensive games like Glory of Kings, and demanding titles like Original God. In the 15-minute gaming period, Mi 10 rendered more fps, with fewer stutters, and ran fairly stable throughout.

Surprisingly, it also says that the Mi 11, despite running smoothly, experienced some heating issues on a high load. Just like the report says, this may be because of the older architecture of Adreno 660 GPU or samsung’s 5nm process.

Overall, the Snapdragon 865 on Xiaomi Mi 10 tries its level best to compete and gains improvement in GPU after overclocking. However, it still lacks in performance(at least from Benchmarks) compared to Snapdragon 888 on the Mi 11.

Parallelly, Xiaomi is said to be working on a Mi 10 with Snapdragon 870 chipset. This itself is an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 865 Plus. Let’s just hope that the Mi 10 reboots with more power in 2021.

The post Xiaomi Mi 10 with Overclocked GPU gets a 30% bump up in performance, can it level Mi 11? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi just launched the Mi 11 in the global market, where it carries a very interesting price tag despite being the first handset with Snapdragon 888 inside. The listing price of the Mi 11 is actually closer to the street prices of the OPPO Find X2 Pro. The Find X2 Pro is actually a top-tier flagship but given that it was released one year ago, its price dropped at the same level as the Mi 11. But which one is worth buying right now? Mi 11 or OPPO Find X2 Pro? This comparison will clear your ideas in regards to this question and tell you the pro and cons of each of these flagships.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OPPO Find X2 Pro

Design

Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X2 Pro are two devices with a premium design. I personally prefer the OPPO Find X2 Pro due to its materials: it comes in a ceramic variant which is the best-selling one and a leather variant. The Mi 11 has a leather version as well, but the “normal” edition is made with a classic glass back and an aluminum frame. Further, the OPPO Find X2 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while the Mi 11 does not offer any certification against water and dust. That is why the OPPO Find X2 Pro is a superior device in terms of build quality. Both feature an in-display fingerprint reader and a curved punch-hole display.

Display

The displays of the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the OPPO Find X2 Pro are very close. Both are displays boasting a high Quad HD+ resolution and a high 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the HDR10+ certification. And both are able to show up to one billion colors with their 10-bit panels. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a higher peak brightness (up to 1500 nits), but the Find X2 Pro seems like the device with the best color accuracy. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a slightly wider panel than the OPPO Find X2 Pro with its 6.81-inch diagonal.

Specs & Software

The king of hardware is the Xiaomi Mi 11 for a simple reason: it has a stronger chipset. We are talking about the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, which is actually the best Qualcomm SoC for 2021. The OPPO Find X2 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform from 2019, built with an inferior production process (7 nm vs 5 nm) and with lower-end performance. But there is an important advantage with the OPPO Find X2 Pro: you get up to 512 GB of internal storage instead of the 256 GB offered by the Xiaomi Mi 11. On the other hand, the Mi 11 has a more recent Android version: Android 11, while the Find X2 Pro ships with Android 10 (already updated to Android 11 and ColorOS 11).

Camera

On the camera side, OPPO Find X2 Pro is the best and you should go for it without thinking twice. It has a triple camera with a 48 MP main sensor, a 13 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor. It even boasts laser autofocus and better optical stabilization. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mi 11 lacks optical zoom and it has an inferior ultrawide camera, that is the reason why it can not be considered a top camera phone. The OPPO Find X2 Pro beats the Xiaomi Mi 11 even when it comes to the front camera, with its 32 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

Due to its bigger 4600 mAh battery, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is able to provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. The OPPO Find X2 Pro has a smaller 4260 mAh battery, but a higher charging power (65W). On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 11 features wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, while Find X2 Pro does not.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 debuted in the global market with a €749/$908 starting price. Thanks to online street prices, you can actually find the OPPO Find X2 Pro for less than €700/$849. Due to the IP68 certification and its better cameras, we consider the OPPO Find X2 Pro as a smarter purchase. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better hardware department, wireless charging, and even a bigger battery, but do you really need all the power of the Snapdragon 888 in a world in which mid-rangers can already do everything without issues? It brings definitely more value to have a top camera phone in your hands, if you need a great camera, naturally. If you do not need a top camera phone, then Mi 11 starts making more sense.
