Is The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Worth The Hype And Your Money? | Cell Guru By NDTV

My top story today is the 11 ultra. I have to say, with this phone uh Xiaomi has done some very interesting things. So, first and foremost, the big question is that when a brand plays in the budget and economy category or even in the mid-price, 15 000, even 20 000 rupees, that's what the brand gets associated with, and then you want to play more premium. What strategies do you evolve? What business model do you take? So you stretch your price. You want to go up the price ladder, the value chain. Thirty thousand forty thousand, even fifty thousand rupees.

Some people have been buying Xiaomi phones for fifty thousand rupees, but seventy thousand rupees. That is a huge stretch. Look the phone is amazing: top of the line. Processor, 12, GB of ram top-of-the-line storage. Absolutely amazing screen second screen at the back, which a lot of people are saying is a gimmick.

I love that feature great camera, big battery. It's got it all, but it's still a phone. It's still a Xiaomi phone. So somehow I think it just really uh is a huge debate, and we'll try and answer that we'll compare this one. But right now, let's take a quick look at the 11 ultra Xiaomi's journey to the top hasn't been easily built on a legacy of value-focused devices.

The company has taken a slow and steady approach towards changing customer mindset. The 11 ultra is in many ways the first real flagship from the brand to hit Indian shores, but a packed spec sheet isn't a differentiator anymore. So what sets the 11? Ultra apart, let's find out in the sell guru review of Xiaomi's flagship, the May 11 ultra is a distinctive phone by any measure. In fact, looking at the camera hump, you might think it's a camera attached to a phone, you'll notice, three large lenses, but also a secondary display. This second display might sound like a gimmick, but it lets you spot notifications, control, music and yes use it as a viewfinder.

It certainly elevated our selfie, taking experience from the ceramic back to the aluminum frame, the excellent tactile feedback and ip68 rating. The me11 ultra is built to high tolerances. You will, however, feel the hulking 234 grams of weight. In your hand, the large 6.81-inch screen is a thing of beauty. It goes as bright as 1700 nits, making it easy to see outdoors.

Yes, it is HDR and Dolby Vision compatible and the content looks stunning. The media watching experience is further elevated by the well-tuned Harman Kardon speakers. These are some of the best on any phone powered by a snapdragon, 888, processor and 12gb of ram. You don't have anything to worry about performance. The phone easily runs everything, including the latest games, cranked up high, but tends to get a bit warm to the touch coming to the cameras.

The 50mp primary sensor is one of the largest in the business, and it delivers the goods. The sheer amount of detail is excellent, and the phone does a great job at managing the white balance. Contrast levels, no matter what the situation, the natural depth of field of the sensor gives images a DSLR like look and feel. The large sensor also allows you to get noise free images in low light. Meanwhile, the 48 mp ultra-wide sensor captures wide landscapes beautifully with ample detail.

Switching over to the periscope camera. The 11 ultra manages 5x zoom, unlike 10x on the s21 ultra, while Xiaomi promises up to 120x zoom. Anything beyond 10x just doesn't look too good. Coming to battery life. Things are generally positive.

The phone lasts a full day of active use with its 5000 my battery. Additionally, the phone supports 67 watt charging, getting you an almost full top up in half an hour, though in India it comes with a 55 watt charger in the box priced at 69, 999 rupees, the natural competitor to the 11 ultra is the OnePlus 9 pro, and it is fair to say that Xiaomi's foray into the flagship space is taking things very seriously. The mi 11 ultra is coming all guns, blazing with not just a better camera setup, larger battery, better 5g support, but also cool additions like a genuinely useful second display. Unless you have a dislike for mini. The 11 ultra is an easy recommendation for most flagship buyers.
