Top 10 Most Powerful Android Smartphones Worldwide Today

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra was launched in late March 2021, bringing unique and fascinating experiences to users with its massive camera module.

One is to use it as a mirror to take selfie photos with the main camera system, and the other is to display notifications, time, and music controls. The camera experience offers good image quality, equivalent to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Some comparative tests show that Mi 11 Ultra excels in video recording due to its accompanying optical image stabilization. This is quite understandable as the phone uses the Samsung GN2 chip for the main camera with a sensor size of 1/1.12 inch - the largest sensor ever used on a mobile phone, and the pixel size is 1.4 micrometers. Thanks to 4-in-1 pixel binning, the device produces an image size equivalent to 2.8 micrometers.
