Mi 11 vs other flagships 2021
On paper, the Mi 11 is clearly ahead of the pack in both features and pricing. And in our opinion, it is definitely one of the best flagship phone in the market currently if not the best.
To those who are concerned, Mi 11 does support Google Mobile Services (GMS) in Malaysia. Perhaps the only other concern shared by many is the absence of an IP68 rating on the Mi 11.
In other words, the Mi 11 does not claim to be dust or water resistant. This is in fact quite rare for higher-end flagship phones not to include such protection.
Nevertheless, a youtuber by the name of Frankie Tech took it upon himself to test and see if the Mi 11 could withstand minor splashes.
Based on his experiment, Mi 11 users can rest assure that minor contact with water will most likely not cause any damage to the device. With that being said, we do discourage any users from submerging their devices in water.
Extras:
1. 55W GaN charger included
The Mi 11 comes complete with a fast-charging 55W GaN in the box! Forget about cutting cost, Xiaomi wants you to have the best experience possible.
With this charger, you’ll be able to charge the 4,600mAh battery from 0 – 100% in 45minutes!
2. Anti-Bacterial Case and Screen Protector Included
In addition to the 55W GaN charger, Xiaomi is also providing all users with an anti-bacterial clear case and screen protector to keep users safe throughout the pandemic.
3. First to Feature the MIUI 12.5
Following the release of MIUI 12 in May 2020, the intermediate 12.5 update is now ready and will be featured on the Mi 11 device.
The main focus and changes of the MIUI 12.5 is enhanced performance by rendering a dedicated core to manage and prioritize gestures.
Aside from that, MIUI will also grant users the option to delete most pre-installed system apps on the device. As for apps that are written on the system core, users will have the option to hide the icons should they choose not to use it.
The MIUI 12.5 will be rolled out to more than 11 different Xiaomi devices late of Q2 2021.
