Storage


Two storage options are available with the Xiaomi Mi 11: 128GB and 256GB. However, many UK stockists seem to focus on the 128GB version, so customers may have to settle for that storage option after looking at Xiaomi Mi 11 comparison deals.

FAQs


Is the Xiaomi Mi 11 worth the price?

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is not the most expensive device in the Mi 11 series and offers a flagship experience without some of the more premium features seen in more expensive devices.

It includes a 120Hz refresh rate, high responsiveness rate and a 108MP main lens, although it does lack features such as a telephoto lens for ardent photographers.

Does the Xiaomi Mi 11 have a good battery?

There have been some complaints about the battery on the Xiaomi Mi 11 not lasting close to a full day due to the demands of the hardware. The impact of this can be reduced by switching off features such as the 120Hz refresh rate, but customers looking for a long-life battery should compare Xiaomi Mi 11 mobile phone deals alongside other devices to find the best options.

Is the Xiaomi Mi 11 waterproof?

No, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is not waterproof and does not have an IP rating. This means it cannot be near water and may not be resistance to any spills or splashes. In addition, it may not be resistant to dust either.

If water resistance is important, compare Xiaomi Mi 11 deals to more expensive flagships and premium devices.

Does the Xiaomi Mi 11 have a good camera?

The camera on the Xiaomi Mi 11 includes a 108MP main lens which has been a core feature of Xiaomi cameras for several generations. However, software optimisation has improved the final products so photographs on this device will look better than on its predecessor.

Including a 5MP macro lens with the Xiaomi Mi 11 also allows users to get closer to their subjects and still produce quality shots.
