Is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra better than S21 Ultra?

Video shot on the Mi 11 Ultra was some of the best we've seen captured on a phone, but both have an array of vlogger-friendly modes. While both phones take brilliant shots with their main cameras, then, the Galaxy S21 Ultra wins through its greater flexibility and superior secondary cameras.

Is MI 11 better than S21?

The Samsung Galaxy S21 has a better ultra-wide camera than the Xiaomi Mi 11, a better selfie camera and a better zoom.

Is Galaxy better than Xiaomi?

While Xiaomi only offers three years of major Android updates and four years of security updates, Samsung pips it ahead with four major Android updates and five years of security updates. As you can see: Xiaomi and Samsung hardly have anything to separate between themselves in the flagship market.

Which is better than MI 11 Ultra?

At least on paper, the Xiaomi 12 Pro edges the Mi 11 Ultra. The Mi 11 Ultra is a heavily, chunkier handset though. In the hand, the 12 Pro feels positivity slender by comparison. If you are just looking at the processor, the newer model is a far better choice courtesy of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.
