The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a huge camera module on the back that creates space for a large sensor. Readers can vote for themselves whether the recordings are really better than those of the competition. Apart from that, the smartphone offers longer battery life and very fast charging.

4 Brighter display , bigger battery and faster charging

In the Mi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi installs the GN2 image sensor developed by Samsung, which distributes its 50 megapixels over a whopping 1/1.12 inches and thus offers the largest example of current flagship smartphones. You have to look back a long way to find similar dimensions with about 1/1.2 inches in the Nokia 808 PureView from 2012.

In the hump even fits a small display

The sensor is so large that it creates an unparalleled camera hump. The “box” on the back, which stretches over almost the entire width, accounts for several millimeters of depth. That would not have been absolutely necessary, or at least not to this extent, but Xiaomi also integrated a rear mini display into the camera module, for example to enable selfies via the main camera. The screen also serves as a small status indicator with an always-on function, although it seems questionable to always place the smartphone on the display for use. The compact AMOLED display measures 1.1 inches with 126 × 294 pixels and can also be used for personalized images and texts.
