The price/performance is better for Mi 11
Yes a month ago but now S21 Ultra is 1050 Euro. Also have to consider the price depreciation im sure S21 will sell for much more after 2-3 Years. I think xiaomi make amazing mid range phones like redmi note 10 but in the high end its a bit tuff
@@martintop7880 i think s21 ultra should compare to mi11 ultra. Basically its like you compare s21 ultra with s21 .
@@martintop7880 who will buy Samsung old phone after two or three years? 😏😏😏
@@PaddyMan1988 he will
@@PaddyMan1988 I might consider one 2 to 3 yrs from now as long as it's the snapdragon powered one, or... Or the one with the AMD.
Most English channels are praising iPhone but this guy is super honest

hey Chris, Does it support infared face unlock?
Hi Chris,
Regarding the AndroBench scores for the Mi11, have you tried running the test multiple times? I am getting 1600MB/s Seq read and similar Random Read/Write to the S21 Ultra on my Mi11. I'm guessing there's some bug in the Global ROM that makes the score half of what it should have been.
I think there is some error in the memory test of Mi11 because i am getting 1000MB/s sequential read on my mi 10t lite. It is very weird how my UFS 2.2 is outperforming Mi11's UFS3.1.
not 60 fps
Thnkx for leaving timestamp
I really don't remember how I found this guy's channel, but I'm glad I did it, those reviews, comparisons and videos in general are amazing.
Well, i was looking for a budget tablet
And that was it
Im hooked with this channel now. Lol
I found it for photo comparisions
And no bias + faithful
Ce4tech Ash is better and not bias
@@seansmith6473 i dont see bias on this review
Never have I ever seen this kind of detailed review/comparison with quality.
Watch Technick's reviews.
@@jeffneilsondigal8415 not good like this
This is this the review we wanted from the best in the business -> Chris
We need to remember this is the standard Mi 11 vs the Ultra on the Samsung. Some of the 'issues' mighr be addressed when Xiaomi releases a Pro/Ultra model that adds in an optical zoom (or maybe more than one) and possibly a bigger battery.
Mi 11 does have ios
I was thinking the exact same thing, great unbiased reviews.
IR Blaster alone makes the phone better! I have so many times used universal remote
I don’t get why almost only Xiaomi phones get an IR blaster this days, it’s much more useful than a macro camera for example, or MagSafe and that kind of stuff. You don’t even need stou keep and buy lots of AA batteries for remote controllers for TV’s and AC’s
@@marcelobulhoes6180 ir blaster is cheap too, wouldnt make much difference in the overall cost
Thanks to this channel. It's made my decision alot easier, going for the Mi11, the $400 price difference is too much for a slightly better features.
It's Vers dissapointing that Samsung again not offer a DC Dimming function :(
I just want to add that not only that the s21 ultra flicker when you lower the brightness, it even flickers on full brightness .
@@Or44931 no it doesn't
Not everyone sees the flickering
When wireless charging is as fast as wired charging, you know you have got a beast
The Xiaomi has bad over heating problems.
In my opinion and because of the Mi11 features, Mi11 has won this battle. Mi11 is much better than S21 Ultra and Ip68 certification is not so important for me because I'm not used to use smartphone in the pool or whatever
Whenever Chris posts a video, I always finish it till the end, I love the comprehensive take on the devices he reviews.
Love that Mi 11 too, you get more for your money
The only dissappointing thing is the storage, but that’s never been a problem for me. I’m probably going for the mi 11 as my next phone
I'm watching this now on my 21. I'm going to send it back. Too many issues. Will wait for the 11 ultra
@Manusia why lie 😂😂😂
@Manusia the back gets very hot when using the camera and playing games, the battery gives me 4hrs screen on time
@Manusia yes I was going to get it replaced... Till I heard there will be a Mi11 ultra coming out soon. I piad £1300 for the 512GB 16g version, it's not really worth it. Especially when Mi costs nearly half the price and is just as powerful 😉
@Manusia 😭😂😂 Yes camera on the 21 Ultra is perfect. But it doesn't justify all that money. Plus the phone is really big and thick so it doesnt feel good
400+ euros for some things to be slightly better is not that good.
I'd agree
been waiting for this!!
great review as always, thanks chris.
This is the best review on all of UA-cam period. I will go with Mi 11 this time. And it is know that Xiaomi always launches their phones without a proper OS and I still don't understand why they keep doing this.
excellent review and great comparison! Keep up the good work man!
Great comparison 👍.
How is GPS / Galileo on Exynos 2100?!? Accuracy below 1(one) meter?!?
Different RAM Speed: probably single channel against dual channel, as sequential difference is close to 100%?!?
Outstanding review as always, Chris :). One thing I think you should also test is about video / picture compression and quality in mainstream apps like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.. cause it seems that IOS has a huge advantage still on that point but I read one month ago that Samsung with the s21, in theory, has gone much further with this... thanks!
iPhones will always have better photos when using a third party's camera mode because the apps are made specifically for iOS. You can't get that on android, despite having the best camera. The apps are set to work on all the phones, from budget to flagship, which makes it impossible to use the hardware at its full potential if you have a really good phone
I agree with almost everything except the sound test. On my laptop the mi11 sound a little bit open with more sound depth.
More reviewers definitely need to do comprehensive videos like this on devices like this where people are spending a large chunk of their monthly income
I am watching reviews videos since 2018. I never watch as this review video so far. Many many thanks @TECHTablets
Chris, I can not see CE symbol on the back of the phone. You do not have Global version or it is some special version only for you?
Your reviews are really good man, a gem in youtube. Do keep up the great work!
Thank you for your good and detailed review.
Dose the mi 11 take slow motion pictures
Will it will be a problem to apply tempered glass on m11 . And how is the screen edge reflection on it. Really love Your content.
Excellent review. Hits all the points and isn't too long or short.
hands down both phones are Beautiful due to Chris doing a AWESOME reviewing and unboxing
I have waiting so long for this pro review about mi11
Great review Chris. Just fyi, there's a small glitch in your upload at the 7:04-7:05 mark. Thanks for your hard work and impartial analysis. Saludos desde Murcia.
Sorry about that. I can't fix it now too late. #errorsquad
Will it differs greatly when you compare it to the Snapdragon Version of the S21 Ultra?
How do u not have a million subs??!! Ur INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Suggestion - You should also include CPU Throttling app test !
Noted I have in the past I forgot about that one!
@@Techtablets specially for the Mi 11 it's very important. I have seen complaints about the chinese version heating up too much and causing thermal throattling.
Would you do a revisit when the miui 12.5 comes out? Would love to see if there will be a big difference as they stated during the launch?
Well done, a very informative and in depth comparison. I can't wait to see the Mi 11 Pro or Ultra up against the S21 Ultra.
Great review, as usual. Thanks.
great comparison , keep up the good work !
Superb as always. All the best from Croatia
I'm so early today thanks Chris i trust your review more than any on UA-cam your number one fan from Nigeria
Bro!! You think Mi well launch in 9ja..
Chris, have you done the test if m11 and m11 lite can stream music to two Bluetooth devices at the same time??
Do you know any phone who can do this?
Totally agree with you, Samsung overpriced and overhyped, not saying its bad phone at all.
Compare mi 11 vs s21 pluse and let me tell you sth.80% of people would choose s21 pluse because it is simply better. Cameras,heat issues,design... And about Screens both are good
You have no clue whatsoever, 2 big camera updates are coming to the S21U, and one is already out. S21U gets updates almlst weekly.
The Mi UI & camera will be fixed AFTER 6 months +
In 1 month there will be 0 categories in which rhe mi 11 will win, only the price.
No phone is comparable to S21U, its a monster
@@stx7389 Well you're comparing the ultra version of a phone to the normal version of another phone. Personally I would wait for the mi11 pro or ultra and then compare them
Remember the mi10 ultra? That crushed the samsung.
its stupid to buy samsung in china, simply not worth it.
@@stx7389 Is it only me but camera on m11 looks so much better. Stop defending phone which costs twoice as much we dontneed sheep here. Just be objective.
There have been waterproof tests done. In one video, the Mi 11 got damaged but in another, it was completely waterproof. They've just not paid for the IP certificate.
I also believe you can speed up the animations in the Mi settings, so it looks faster.
I think Mi 11 is not waterproof, only Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra.
It would be interesting to see comparison to Qualcomm version of the S21 Ultra. A few reviews showed that it definitely performs better vs Exynos as far as throttling goes.
@10:25 (DRM & Camera 2 API chapter) you said that they both support HDR10+, but the Galaxy doesn't according to the still image. Does it state it elsewhere?
Well it's an HDR10+ screen.
OMG are you based in Denia ? I love that city !
Thx for your reviews ! Muchas gracias
Superb analysis: Cogent, Concise, Cerebral-can't think of any higher accolades. (Tips hat to a communications Master :)
True That's why he and Jerry Rig are my favourite reviewer
@@ahmd-mi9964 zach is not a reviewer you fool
@@nishant54 wow congratulations and you're a pedantic literalists,
But thank you I still appreciate you and love you,
Take care , and wish you and all people the best in these troubled times.
Amazing review. Keep up the good work!
Great review!
Superb review as always, very detailed, and as far as I can tell, an unbiased and informative video. Definitely my favourite tech channel
Gonna get my 256GB Mi 11 this 13th March! This video increase the hype I'm getting even more. Can't wait to get my hands on the Mi11! Great review sir 👍🏼
May i know is it worth it I upgraded from galaxy s10 plus to xiaomi mi 11 or galaxy s21 plus??
Now these are what you call stats. Definitely the best tech UA-camr out there 👍
Me who can't afford either of them: Interesting phones
Huawei nova 5t :)
Well Xiaomi offers lots of good value for your money, i got Poco X3 👌
Redmi note 10 pro
Thank you for hte nice review, but please, can you try to keep the phone position consistent between shots. With those full displays, the camera is the only strong giveaway which is which, and it can be a bit confusing. But again, thanks for the nice work!
Hi Chris, can you plase make camera comarison between Mi 11 and Mi 10 Ultra?
Thanks ps. great review as allays.
Good video Chris 👍🏽.
It's true that since the Mi 10 Ultra Xiaomi video has become heavy.
For the S21 Ultra I'm sure Samsung will fix the problem of frame drops since Samsung's previous ones don't have this problem.
why tf would anyone pay extra 400 euros for nothing?
paying 400€ more and getting less
Your paying for the brand name. That's all.
@@chrisj4164 hell yeah
dont know why am on this vid but anyway, i purchased the redmi note 9t on sale and blown away so when he said no extra storage i was like whaaat? on a 1200 pound phone? mine was 150 pound on a sale and has 5g. why anyone would pay 1200 for a phone is beyond me, especially with mid range phones this good.
@@Shaungreener1 and u try to say, you're chinese phone which is 10 times cheaper ,is better than samsung s21 utra?
with the same processing and the same processor, wouldnt u want the phone to be warmer? because its disipates more heat from the cpu?
Hi,
great comparison al lin all but as you switched to Highest on Genshin you did not put 60 fps - it was on 30 by default. The results may have been different.
Why did you not show the internal thermals & frequencies recorded by the phones own sensors?
that was more in depth than I expected and I loved it!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing comparison but please do a re-run on their speaker sound performances.
I thinking of getting this phone after using the K20 for so long! This video just decided that for me~🥳
GREAT WORK !
Always great to hear your voice and see such a high quality video. Hope you are doing good!
Hey, thanks! I am. Hope you're good!
Any chance of a vid for comparison between Mi11 and Mi10 Ultra?
Nice review mate.. Just a suggestion here, try to leave the screen timeout, cos i noticed every now and then one of the phone screen turned off.. Cheers
I can also point out a glitch in MIUI 12 and it is quite frustrating: when using dark mode the status bar shows dark text on dark background when watching some UA-cam videos. Can't see anything on the status bar as the text and bar colors are the same. So I never turn on dark mode
Okay and do you see teh UI glitches? Missing icons or things displayed funny? happens when the phone is not used overnight I find. Watch up icons are blank and widgets messed up. It's not always happening. And a random reboot on Mi 11 no idea what happened. A glitch.
@@Techtablets I have the Mi 10T Pro, I haven't experienced the app icon disappearing or the widgets or whatever but I have experienced some issues with third party launchers
@@Techtablets on my mi8 the lock screen ambient display (have no idea what it's called) completely goes crazy when I wake the screen. For a split second it glitches and the colors completely fall apart. It just breaks the illusion of having a "flagship" phone.
The Kiwi accent is strong on this one. Well done mate. Thanks!
Haha it sure is. Thanks for watching!!
Nice in depth review 👍
But it fyi the mi11 doesn't have victus on the back, only 21 ultra does
8:15 that's the opposite of what Mr.Whostheboss said. According to him, the exynos variant of s21 has much more thermal throttling than the SD variant. Or maybe the Mi 11 just has bad cooling system?
great video chris thank you..yep xiaomi defo need that desktop out connection like dex especially with there flagship devices..
The lack of HDMI output is one my biggest gripes with Xaiomi phones. Especially when 10 year old Samsung's have no issues. The second is no LED notification.
Sir, just wow. Thanks! just preorder mi11 :}
So Chris. I've been watching you review Redmis and Xiaomis for some time. I can't think of a time you didn't say there was GLITCHINESS. Can we now safely conclude that when it comes to UI bugs: Xiaomi doesn't give a shit? I don't mean to be harsh but if I had a dollar for every time you've said "Maybe an update will fix this"...
i found that in the last video that is mi11 global right? is there any different between mi11 china and mi11 global interm of heat issues?
Exactly the same
@@Techtablets so in your opinion mi11 is recommended or not?
Why i can't sign in play store in MI 11..plss help us..my gf bought last week but we can't use play store..Sir can you help us..plss
In Australia you can buy 2 Xiami Mi 11 for less than one Samsung 21 ultra. I am seriously considering the Xiaomi. Thanks for your review
Is it any issues with overheating with MI 11?
I seriously can't belief a company like Xiaomi is competing head to head toe to toe with a big player like Samsung and even having a better screen, something Samsung excels at. Its better value overall, its got some of the best speakers, good design, great cameras, good battery life, good performance. Imagine what the Mi 11 pro or Ultra will be like
Samsung is milking the consumer base they gained when there was less competition, trying to be the Android Apple.
I'm not! Xiaomi is a very, very big company and is a Samsung partner in screen and camera segment. The big difference is, Xiaomi buy new technologies and Samsung created them.
That is the reason for the price difference.
@@julianaalves6591 Yes, people don't realize just how big Xiaomi is, especially in China and regions of the Third World. They already sold 1 million units of this new smartphone, just in China.
The problem is, if Xiaomi needs to buy those screens from Samsung to then sell a smartphone that uses them, how is it that Xiaomi is selling for less and still making a profit?
The answer is that Samsung is trying to make three to five times (or more!) the profit that Xiaomi is making. They forget that Android isn't proprietary and that they can lose consumers very quickly by acting this way.
@@julianaalves6591 Samsung made them but they sell them in mass quality, that's no reason for thrir phones to be ridiculously expensive, it didn't used to be like this until they decided to be apple wanna be
@@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart as one reviewer said the reason Samsung is getting away with milking consumers like this is because brands like Xiaomi aren't mainstream in majority of countries, very soo that will change
Solid review and comparisons - Good to see them for competition for Samsung in the UK at the high end. £1k + phones are just ridiculous imo.
Thumbs up.
Very deep comparative review. But, both phones are getting quite hot. Not to my liking. I'd may prefer a snapdragon 865 or 870 with flat screen and zoom (yes I use it on my mate 20 x)
Can you please tell me if they exynos is really that bad? Or is the sd 888 really well marketed?
No it's not bad at all.
From Anandtech's tests, the Exynos seems to be a little less powerful and runs a tad hotter than the SD 888 - but it's only a big difference in gaming, video editing, and other GPU-heavy tasks, as the Exynos is still behind Qualcomm there.
The performance of the 2100 is still much better then the older Exynos processors though.
Exynos is an inferior mid-range processor
@@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart snapdragon 888 chipset overheat
@@supta2110 Both of them do lol
Now, this is a REVIEW. it feels like I’m watching someone who should be teaching reviewers how to do reviews right. Thank you
This video made up my mine. M1, bang per buck.
The best tech and user experience comparison on these two phones. Wish I came here first.
Which speaker is better , Mi 11 or S21 (not the ultra or plus versions)
by the way Chris, if you have the opportunity do the same review 4 driver headphones such as TRN, KZ, CCA or KINERA and similar, now I use TRN VX and before TRN V90s and they give out great sound even better than my big Sennheiser 550 but in the EU practically no one knows about the existence of TRN-type driver headphones but I think people who value high-quality sound will be interested in discovering a brand of headphones that are cheaper but give better sound than expensive brands ...
Great review. For about 400 EUR less expensive, I guess the Xiaomi wins big time. Also, I've read that a software update is lying around the corner which will do some fixes of the current software glitches, making the difference a bit smaller again.
I currently have the Samsung S10, but looking at the budget and prices for phones nowadays, it seems Xiaomi offers most for the money to me.
Samsung lowering the specs on the regular S21, makes it less competitive in that price range, as both OnePlus as Xiaomi have better devices. Mmm, hard decision
grea job, wished i watchd ur video earlier.... pls keep on
I purchased the s21 ultra and was disappointed with the bugs, baked in ads and lack of native visual voicemail support on tmobile. Reluctantly I chose to return the device. Hoping to see what Oneplus brings to the table.
There were bugs in both the OneUi launcher and in all 3rd party launchers, both when using navigation gestures. Swiping to go home required a half second wait before the UI will allow any interaction with the screen.
Great video I want to try xiaomi I think mi11 my next phone 😀💪😷 keep safe
Where you live in the UK bro?
Miui 12.5 is coming,and mi 11 will uprgade to another level 🎚️!
Hope so
I'm running the beta and it's very buggy not ready for release. Phone freezes, sometimes on reboot the icons in the notification area are missing and need to be setup. Going to ultra ps and back breaks systems settings. Battery ps doesn't close apps you have manually set to close in the background. Not to mention the wonderful timer for dnd and silent mode is gone. This means you forget your phone is in DND.
Miui 12.5 is having a desktop mode coming soon with Miui+ but it's still in beta.
Fantastic review/comparison as always!! I have a question about the battery that maybe you could anwser. With the Poco X3, Xiaomi uses a battery with 1000 cycles of lifespan. I think that every phone today should use this kind of battery. Do you have information about this on Mi11? I searched this but it seems that they use a regular 500 cycles battery. Thanks!
Not that I know of, I would assume it's the 500 cycle one.
very good video for much details 😍😍
Please Do A Comparison
Between 8Pro , oneplus and
Xiaomi mi 11... Im really anxious
To see if there's a difference
Can u show us about the sound of s21 anf mi 11 using max volume and show us volume control
Shout out to my man for review this phone. Since I bought my Xiaomi mi mix 2 8gb ram 128gb with 14k gold. I can't never go back to Apple and Samsung. Amazing phone. If North America open up door for Xiaomi, for sure Samsung and Apple sell will drop.. Awesome video
