- Comparing the Xiaomi Mi 11 vs the Samsung Galaxy S21, two of the biggest smartphones of 2021, but which is best? Here's a side-by-side testing the camera tech, speed, battery life, specs and features - and my full reviews are live right now.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 has just launched globally, while Samsung's new Galaxy S21 hit the UK a couple weeks earlier for a slightly higher price. Both sport a triple lens rear camera and here you can see how they compare for photo and video quality, including a zoom test, night results and more.

For performance, the Mi 11 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chipset while the Galaxy S21 goes for Samsung's own Exynos 2100 platform. Xiaomi's handset wins the speed test and offers smoother gaming, while the battery life is also better (helped along by the bigger cell).
Overall the specs are stronger on the Xiaomi Mi 11, vs the S21. You get a QHD+ display, compared with the FHD on Samsung's smartphone. Still, both handsets are strong on the media front, among the best you can buy in 2021. My full review of both phones are live, and you can see my unboxing of that Galaxy plus comparisons versus the Pixel 5 and S20 FE. - Наука та технологія
They cost about the same, but there's a world of difference between the pleasingly compact S21 and the beefcake Mi 11. Which one's your favourite, definitely hit me up below 😘
I think I prefer the mi11. The only real thing in missing out on is ip68 and the telephoto, but I think the 108mp camera will mean I'm not missing out on much
Mi 11 for the better performance, battery and screen. I don't think the telephoto lens is that important.
@@thefantasyfootballhubcamera is better on Samsung also you are forgetting the thermal of Mi 11 goes bonkers under load.

Just here to see you uninstall Facebook off of the phones you review. Oddly satisfying.
Not oddly, its the silent majority. ( I'm just trying to cling on to any bit of hope I guess)
Why do they come with that crap on them anyway

No worries, cheers for watching Karl, stay safe!

Nope I stay clear of Chinese branded phones.
Love your reviews! Always straight to the point and no BS added!
For me I think the Mi 11 is better because of the massive battery, big display, higher quality display, better material used and that monstrous Snapdragon 888 chip
And it's cheaper after all of this 👍
And charger 😃
Im a Samsung fan but I would agree. All of the specs are better or similar and the Mi 11 is way cheaper, only thing I dont like in Mi phones is the OS
Both UI are far from stock...MIUI is getting better nowadays.
Now its just a matter of preference between them
@@karolisrum6573 miui 12.5 will make it a lot more lighter hope the experience gets better

Big cheers from The Netherlands
Love the content, keep it coming!
the fact that there's so much bloatware on an already expensive phone (s21) is a straight up war crime imo
I love your review content smartphone
Love from Malaysia ❤️❤️
Watching this on my Xiaomi Mi 11 and I gotta say it is a beast🔥
Hey there, @Tech Spurt. I've been watching your videos for a while now. Basing on you video comparisons I have decided to buy the last phone I've bought. I would like to hear from Samsung F62. Looking forward to seeing a review of it from you.
Cheers!

Amazing comparison of those 2 flagship smartphone from xiaomi & samsung. And it is very entertaining to watch it and not so boring. unlike others out there. 👌
Great review as normal
.. Always annoying thing is seeing these xiaomi reviewed by UK you tubers but can't buy them from UK retailers!!
one of my favorite phone reviewers. No BS and i like it 👏
Thank you for using the same wallpaper in both phones 🤗
Great review, they seem to have levelled each other out, so subjective which to chose.
Not even close.
dude that's sime sick anime wallpaper u got there, where did u get it?
only 2 droid updated with Xiaomi though? And what about the notification glitch? Doesn't that play into this?
In India S21 costs INR 70,000 which is approximately USD 960. It's not only expensive than the US variant, but also has a comparatively weaker Exynos chipset. Let's see how much Xiaomi prices the Mi11
can you give me your opinion about the overheating issue of the Xiaomi? Do you it'll get better with future updates?
You had me at "Irate badger covered in lard". Sub for life
I'm niet even looking for a new phone, yet I watch all your reviews 🤣🤣 You make my day with your: Cheers! Love you ❤
Hey Chris @TechSpurt
What do you think about Xiaomi MI 11? Is it still okay for daily use?
"I'll be your huckleberry"... Tombstone reference 👍
Liked before skipping the advert because you know it will be great
Can you do a review on the Xiaomi Redmi 9T? I was wondering if it'll be another budget king in your opinion :))
Nowadays all I really care about in a phone is battery life 🙂 Most of the phones are all good enough for me.. It comes down to preference..
would appreciate a lot if u can tell us where do u get ur wallpapers from ??
I feel like there is a slight design change in the Xiaomi mi 11 on the global version compared to the chine only. The curves now are more even and symmetrical compared to the china version. Idk maybe im seeing things.
Early gang
Thanks for this man.♥️
I can see purple fringing (14:49, upper left side) on the Mi11 photos and the edges, especially on the wide-angle lens. Uhh never even mentioned it???
Your review is great....you have a new sub..😊
Awesome review mate!!!... but please u gotta drop some of ur anime wallpapers for us they look sugoi
Your anime wallpapers get me clicking your vids...
Man your videos are really intresting and i really enjoy as whatching
Well display look on S21 on this video quite oscillated, but it not only on your videos, i have seen it before. It look like 120 Hz frequency is not there for all the time. It is weird for me. I will go for Mi 11 even i do prefer smaller phones. Battery and for good sake charger and not crappy one but 55W that is awesome. BTW fully agree with missing jack, that really upset me....Good video mate
i'm wondering... when you tap on the back with your nail, does it sound and feel very weak and cheap ?
i've had two mi 11 devices now and they both had this issue.
someone said maybe they all have this issue, so can you please let me know ?
Hands down the Mi11! I'm so saving up for this on the Black Friday deals..
I'm loving the new quality of the reviews dude, very sweet! You're bushy eyebrows have never looked so good 😏
Dude that's 9 months away
@@ryeellz9967 Thank you for your astounding powers of observation, indeed it is 9 months away but I've only had the RealMe 6 Pro since August & I don't mind waiting for a bargain..

Kind of ironic about understanding huh?
oh wow thats too far away from now and too close to the launch of mi 12... save for the mi 12 instead 😅
The best compare from the best Reviewer I would go with the mi11 price to performance and then more great work 👍👍😎
Great video ! You should have done it against the S21 plus but then again there's the mi 11 pro so I understand.
My most awaited comparison ever.
Been contemplating between these two phones. Thank God i found this video. Now I know which one to buy.
Which one did u end up getting and how is it so far?
I have s4 SGH-I337 I didn't find a rom with the same Baseband does Baseband make difference if the model number is the same?
Is theres a tech that front facing camera that can be a 3d scanning or more secure face unlock just the front camera scanning only?
Great comparison uncle spurt!
I'm torn between these because I prefer a more compact phone and ip rating is something I like to have..... However I'd go for that beefcake mi 11. QHD goodness, IR blaster, free condom case, some quick charging speeds and of course a bloody charging brick hooray 😎👍
Thanks for the comparison, was thinking about one of them for my next phone, mostly the S21 ultra but the S21 still good, better if it had the 888 chip for the UK 😭
UK 🇬🇧 is trash 🗑 no one likes your country leave our Samsung phones alone get you a cricket
@@ChiCity50245 every1 actually liked england and enfland has no war with nobody atleast now days back then emgland was invading like every country the world i can even think off trough history including mine in history lessiom in scholl we also learn how the british occupied our terrotory and we cause teror againts them

Does the software has ads like midrange x3 or the rom is clean ? Plz confirm
Love that camera module on the Mi
There is a company in Sweden called PiezoMotor Uppsala that will take smartphones to a completely different level when it comes to camera functions. So my advice is to wait a little while with both of these mobiles
Is there a global version for mi11 yet? If not is it easy to install Google stuff on the Chinese rom?
Not finding many videos on the Mi11 Pro vs the Mi 11. Would love to see a comparison.
How is the software support and real world use, spec didn’t justified well, a review after a year much appreciated
Where do you get your wallpapers from 👀👀
The Xiaomi takes it for me
Yeah, if it wasn't a small tablet, I would've gone for it. 😕
@@revirdkcalb only 6.45 inches in height for 6.8 inch screen is damn good tho
An irate badger that's covered in lard. man that cranked me up. Lol
Have you tested the o overheating issues of xiaomi
Will there be a Mi 11 pro version of this phone, also I thinki mi 11 is better compared to s21 because european version of s21 comes with exynos which has a different image processing algorithm and I think Qualcomm version would be better for global compatibility.
There will be a pro version in China at least which will be very similar but with a much better camera set-up including a telephoto lens, a better ultrawide sensor and a better main sensor.
The battery Mah might be lower on S1 but it actually lasts longer than mi 11 ..saw Technick doing comparison...it retains a decent temperature when using or charging than the mi 11 too.
Great video! I'm so torn between the Mi 11, Pixel 6, S21, and S20 FE for my upgrade! Really can't decide.
My Mi11 only lasted for 6 months then the motherboard gave out.. planning to get the S21+ instead since it's cheaper now.
@@MrJamesdimaano1516 what do you mean gave out and did u get a new phone?
@@MrJamesdimaano1516 I have a few of xiaomi phones like mi6, redmi note4, mi8 and each of them works to this day. even the screen is less scratched than the iPhone11 pro max after 6 months
@@anesahmatovic5985 my phone just stopped working. had it checked at an authorized service center and they said that i needed a new motherboard. had it refunded and now im currently using a Samsung S21 Ultra.
@@-xYz--nk1gmis your iPhone 11pro max your daily driver and the other Xiaomi phones are back up phones? I use my phone the whole day. for work, games, movies maps etc.. i guess Mi11 couldn't handle everything i use it for.
I can't wait for the Xiaomi to be available in the UK 😊
Think it's available from the 24th Feb 😎👍
This is amazing 💪💪💪🔥🔥
Where do u get ur wallpapers?
I've had enough, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR WALLPAPERS FROM! 😔
For realll 😩
help, my mi11 is back from service center and they replace the mainboard, but i wanna switch it to s21 fe. is that a good choice. I dont want mi11 anymore cause a lot of people having so many hardware issue. I dont know if this new mainboard is superior. it is Assy-mi11-G
What is the game/video being shown at 6:22 please.
Do they ship exynos version or snapdragon in US? (from the official samsung site)
Snapdragon
Another really helpful review. why is it so difficult to get a decent case for these chinese phones ? lots of cheap crap on ebay etc but nothing decent like Spiegen.
Wher do you get your wallpapers?
Could you compare this phone, and other newly released £700ish phones, to last year's super flagships that can be got for about the same price refurbished...
Someone help, how did he make lock screen like s21? On 5:35 . Is it launcher?
Hey there, tech guy... I Just subscribed to the channel
I think the s21+ is more of a competitor to the Mi11 as they are different sizes and I know the first box I tick is to get the size I want? If that is the case then the price differential is a bit more and the Mi11 is even more interesting. Certainly, so far my 2021 list is 1// Mi11 and 2// S21. We shall see the OP8P soon and that may go ahead of the pack?
Sold my exynos s21 and got my new mi11 , honestly it's a fair upgrade for me personally.
S21 is fine but occasionally stutter when I unlock the phone and swipe up yo homescreens - animations are bad whereas miui on mi11 might not be everyone's favorite, it's silky smooth
Maybe that's just an exynos thing but yeah
i'd choose xiaomi beacuse of the ui simplicity / animations but the price sets it off even more with the amazing specs
It's the price bro. Xiaomi has changed the game through its pricing.
@@ChefmakiChefmaki Xiaomi is honestly next level on specs i need, As i could also literally change the OS if i don't like MIUI. Although the s21 definetely feels more compact.
First of all , great content . Second Xiaomi entering globally could lead Samsung and others 🍎in big problem. At the end of day , consumer need value from every penny they are giving.
Consider a S20 vs S21 video to see which is the better value or performance.
My question is that where do you get this cool anime wallpapers?
Dear Tech Spurt,
Need advice from u.
Planning to buy either Xiaomi Mi 11 5g or Samsung Galaxy S20plus.
I have heard Mi11 wifi chip getting fried issues.
I need ur input which one could be the better choice.
I got the mi 11. But i haven't noticed any issues... It get hot but also cool down so fast.. that's only when you're on camera or streaming for a very long time on apps like tango and many more.. it's a very nice phone with great speed and display
From what I can see from your presentation..its a clear win for the Xiaomi.my next phone? Hmmm. Don't know Yet. See what else is coming in 2021.
those anime walls - I think he knows more anime characters than anyone I know he should start a page on anime recommendations lol 😁
Does the 21 have LDAC support aswell?
Where do u get wallpapers pretty please
Disabling always on display on s21 ultra SD version made a difference of night and day in regards to battery life.
I wonder if Xiaomi had done anything to fix their previous aggressive ram management on MIUI 12.5?
I'm kinda annoyed with that.
what would you say would be a better pick between the Mi11 vs the 20 FE 5g? answers much appreciated!
Depends on what processor does Samsung have in your country
@@superstealth385 I can get the 865 snapdragon with 6/8gb ram
@@iceakuma2176 is there a price difference between The two phones?
Very helpful reviewww
The size difference is really the purchase decision maker here. On the other hand when it comes to the S21 Plus Vs Mi 11 than it's game on. I would probably go with the Mi because I like a bit of curve on my phone screen and woman 🤭🤐🤫
Where do you get mobile wallpapers?
Where i can get wallpaper Like you have?
Is giztop a good website to buy the mi11?
From where you get your background
Mi 11 is so tempting. I also like the fast charging bc I hate slow charging
I have in my hand Xiaomi Note 9 Pro and S21. Is really better performance on Xiaomi from my opinion.Photo (not so big diferences in the real use), Speed - Xiaomi, Battery - Xiaomi. So, the Mi 11 will be absolutly the best choice.
Were do you get the wallpapers
Great video but I think s21 plus would have been a better comparison sizewise
