The best deal in Android flagships right now, the Xiaomi Mi 11 offers an amazing platform for streaming video and running demanding apps and games, tied together with an enjoyable software experience. But you lose out on camera power — assuming you can get it in the first place.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is a great value, top-spec phone that has most of the bells and whistles you could want, while significantly undercutting the competition at just £749.

The Mi 11 is almost unbeatable on hardware for the price, trouncing rivals on charging, camera, and display tech – and it looks slick too. This is a brilliant phone that’s only held back by software that can’t quite keep up with the competition.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is one of the best premium phones you should consider buying, as it’s well-specced in almost every department: it has super-fast processing, a high screen resolution with extra display modes, and some camera modes and features the competition lacks. It’s just a shame that the sub-par battery life and unreliable fingerprint scanners mar the experience.

Very good but, unfortunately, no longer cheap.

El Mi 11 es prácticamente imbatible en el hardware a ese precio, superando a sus rivales en la carga, la cámara y la tecnología de pantalla, y además funciona muy bien. Es un móvil fantástico que, si no fuera por el software, podría estar a la altura de la competencia.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is a tempting phone for the price, and will have you wanting to part with your cash for it over rivals such as the Galaxy S21. In many ways, this is an excellent device; the screen, performance and charging are all top-tier. It isn’t quite perfect, though: there are some issues, especially around the software.
