Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra hands-on shows off rear selfie display and 120x zoom

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a surprise secondary screen in the camera hump!

What you need to know

  • The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has been leaked in full by a YouTuber, although the video has since been set to private.
  • A small, secondary display sits next to the camera array, which could be used for selfies.
  • The smartphone features Harmon/Kardon speakers at both the top and bottom of the device.

Little more than a month after the Xiaomi Mi 11 launched in Europe as the first smartphone to rock the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, we kept hearing rumors of a "Pro" variant that could soon make its way, supporting very impressive features. For now, it looks like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra may very well be on its way, as the device was just leaked in full in a hands-on video that leaves nothing to the imagination, including its tiny secondary display.

The video, which was mirrored by XDA-Developers after going private, shows off the dual Harmon/Kardon-branded speakers on the top and bottom of the device. What's curious here is that the top speaker isn't located in the device's earpiece like on most smartphones. On the front appears to be a 6.81" WQHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display that's manufactured by Samsung. It's also covered by Gorilla Glass Victus, which should offer some extra protection.

On the back of the phone is a triple camera setup housed in a rather large hump. Apparently, this is where you'll find a 50MP main camera and two 48MP cameras, one of which features a periscopic lens. As far as the camera capabilities go, there's support for 8K video, 4K HDR, night mode for both photos and video, and the ability to achieve a whopping 120x zoom!

One of the more curious aspects of the device is the 1-inch AMOLED display next to the camera array. When in use, it appears to mirror whatever is happening on the main display and essentially acts as a way to capture better selfies with the main camera. Apparently, Xiaomi didn't think the 20MP selfie camera would be adequate, although rear displays seem to be all the rage these days.

Powering the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is the Snapdragon 888 while a large 5000mAh battery keeps things going. It will support 67W wired/wireless charging as well as 10W reverse charging. It's not exactly the 120W wired and 80W wireless charging we were hoping for in the rumored Pro model, and appears to have stepped down the wired charging speeds from the Mi 10 Ultra. There's also IP68 water and dust resistance, and the device is shown running MIUI 12.5.

The video did not reveal much more, and while it's not confirmed to be legitimate, XDA-Developers points out that the model number on the back of the device falls in line with what would be expected for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Given the nature of the leak, it shouldn't be too long until the device is launched to challenge the best Android phones of the year.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
