The Xiaomi Mi 11 was announced globally earlier this month and as the manufacturer’s flagship you would expect it to deliver great features. One of these features is Ultra Night Video. And this happens to be the subject of a promotional video released today by the Chinese manufacturer. Xiaomi is now the third largest phone maker in the world thanks to US penalties against Huawei and the sale of its Honor sub-brand.
The video promo for Xiaomi’s Ultra Night Video starts with showing a video recording of a jazz trio on stage. After a signal from the drummer, the house lights are dimmed and the Xiaomi M11 starts recording in Ultra Night Video mode. Assuming Xiaomi didn’t use any tricks, the handset shoots clear and crisp videos even under dark lighting conditions.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 was recently unveiled and has a 6.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 3200 and an aspect ratio of 20: 9. A refresh rate of 120 Hz means that the screen is updated 120 times per second for smooth scrolling and animation. The device is powered by the 5nm Snapdragon 888 chipset and comes with 8GB LPDDR5 memory and 128GB / 256GB storage. The rear camera array is led by a 108 MP wide angle camera, a 13 MP ultra wide angle camera, a 5 MP macro camera and a 20 MP selfie snapper on the front. Keeping the light on is a 4600 mAh battery and the handset runs on MIUI based on Android 11.
Another promotional video released by Xiaomi is the official Teardown video which lists some of the phone’s specifications such as its support for 5G and the fact that the Mi 11 is a 5G compatible phone equipped with Dual Sim capabilities and support 50W wireless charging. UFS 3.1 means apps open faster and Harman Kardon ships the system with two speakers on the phone. The on-screen fingerprint scanner also doubles as a heart rate monitor.
Unfortunately, for those in the United States looking for an alternative to the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, Xiaomi is still not selling its handsets in the US.
