June 07, 2025

TheXiaomi Mi 11 Ultrapurportedly made its unofficial debut in a massive YouTube leak last week. The clip showcased the phone’s key design features, including a tiny rear display, a huge rear camera array, and its IP68 water resistance rating. It seems that Xiaomi is finally taking that Ultra tag to heart. But what do our readers think of the phone?

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra: Hot or not?

If you were hoping for a contentious result, we’re sorry to disappoint. With some 79% of the vote, more than 1,000 readers believe the forthcoming Ultra model in theMi 11 seriesis “hot.”

That’s entirely understandable. On paper, it seems that Xiaomi is taking a leaf out of Samsung’s book, throwing everything and the kitchen sink into its forthcoming UItra model. It will reportedly sport aSnapdragon 888chipset, and a 50MP main camera with two 48MP tertiary cameras for zoom and wide shots. It would also be the first Xiaomi device with an official water resistance badge. That rear display should be a boon for selfie shooters and compulsive notification peekers.

But ultra phones aren’t for everyone — around one in five voters (21%) don’t like the Mi 11 Ultra.

For some, it might not be aesthetically pleasing. The phone’s not what we’d call classically beautiful. The Mi 11 Ultra seems a bit of a brute complete with a 6.67-inch display and chunky body. And considering that specs sheet, it’s likely the Ultra could pack a similarly brutish price tag, too. Users may lament the lack of a secondary zoom camera at the rear, or a better selfie camera arrangement up front.
