Hi Chris here with the camera comparison that many of you did ask for so it is the Xiaomi Mi
11 series the Mi 11 the Mi 11i versus then the Mi 11 Ultra so right now front facing cameras they
are all 20 megapixels and they all only support 1080p which really is not that great for 2021 they
need to support 4k they're flagship phones after all so stability with the image stabilization
is good here now the microphones they're all very very similar here 320 kilobits per second
and they all sound pretty much the same to me but i will occasionally swap over the sources so we
can pick up on any difference there so walking down these stairs and then a jog ahead you can
see that the stabilization across all three of them here all three of them have the snapdragon
triple eight ah pretty much the same so no real difference i'll swap over now to the rear cameras
and that's where we're gonna see some differences so this is 4k 30 frames per second we do have 4k
60. so with the miele 11i it does not have any optical image stabilization it's 108 megapixel
sensor the Mi 11 has the optical image stabilization with its 108 megapixel sensor
and then the 11 Ultra 50 megapixel sensor with optical image stabilization too and they are all
using electronic image stabilization with the video so as i walk ahead very steady
across all three of them it's just a light jog there is a bit of wind noise coming through
and overall excellent image stabilization and really good focus on all of these models
I've had no issues with it focusing and locking you do get a little bit
of panning jitter comes through I have noticed
now this is 8k video so we get six minutes to 8k on the Mi 11 i and the Mi 11 with the
Ultra it is unlimited so 24 frames per second on the m11 Ultra and the Mi 11 24
per second and 30 frames per second which is actually what they call the ai 8k with the Mi 11i
this is our Ultra wide cameras here so there's a big difference we have the 48 megapixel on the Mi
11 Ultra there is no optical image stabilization but it has electronic the Mi 11 has electronic
image stabilization that is a 13 megapixel sensor and then the 11i uses an 8 megapixel sensor and
you can only shoot 1080p maximum so there is a big difference in the quality there if you shoot a lot
of Ultra wide photos and video i would consider the Mi 11 over the 11i so when i pan around here
i have noticed that you will see a bit of jada sometimes come through especially with
the exposure changes auto exposure at the moment all of these phones here's here do have a manual
mode so you can tap the screen hold and lock the exposure too if you wanted to do so and now i
will jog ahead again demonstrating the electronic image stabilization across all three is very good
zoom camera is now so no contest we have a 48 megapixel five times optical zoom camera on
the Mi 11 Ultra and then just two times digital zoom on both of the 108-megapixel sensors with
the Mi 11i and the Mi 11 as i walk ahead you can see the five times does rock around a little more
that has optical image stabilization and the Mi 11 and 11 i are using electronic image stabilization
only for their video footage low light video now so a huge difference between the Mi 11
Ultra which is clearly the best here with that gn2 sensor just leading in so much more light
and i'm using the low light night video mode here and the Mi 11 i is struggling because it does not
have the optical image stabilization and it shows here a little bit but I think with video you don't
really see it as much as we do with photos so looking here at this house it's barely showing up,
in fact, it's not showing up all at all on the 11i and the focus is pulsing in and out on the Mi 11.
now we know the differences between these phones that there's a bit of a difference with the
cameras with the optimization so the front facing camera video i prefer the Mi 11 Ultra colors even
though the footage is all the same it's only 1080p and it does have at least the electronic
image stabilization audio with video i think the Mi 11 Ultra does sound a little richer when i
listen to it with some headphones on i can hear the difference the Mi 11 and 11 i sound a little
flatter there but it does suffer from a bit of wind noise rear cameras so the 8k video on the
meal 11 Ultra was the best it had more details in the shadows it was way more detailed and the
11i was just a shaky mess with no optical image stabilization Ultra wide video i give the win to
the Mi 11i preferred it it had the natural looking colors whereas the Mi 11 Ultra was just too
oversaturated from my own personal liking there onto the stills so the Mi 11 Ultra i think was
the best as expected and Mi 11 because the optical image stabilization helped us most of the time get
sharper looking images and without the optical image stabilization the 11i would sometimes
often depending on your subject have a little bit more blur in it i prefer the Ultra wide with the
Mi 11 Ultra had just a few more details and when cropping in more details there as well but i think
the Ultra wide with the Mi 11 was still very good and sometimes actually had more details in the
shadow there to compete with the Ultra it was just a little strange it's optimization clearly
low light the mir11 Ultra was the best definitely there was a huge difference there second of course
the Mi 11 and last as expected the 11i without any optical image stabilization so there's a
comparison we know all the differences now between them if you want the best get the Ultra if you're
looking at the Mi 11 and 11 i. I would go for the Mi 11 definitely when it comes to cameras
