Display

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 sport the same screen at 6.81-inches with 3200 x 1080 resolution or 515 PPI and AMOLED panels. All three also sport Gorilla Glass Victus.

The Xiaomi Mi 11i differs for having a slightly smaller 6.67-inch screen and a lower 2400 x 1080 resolution or 395 PPI. It uses a Super AMOLED panel and Gorilla Glass 5.

All four models support a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. However, the Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro support Dolby Vision.

RAM and Storage

The Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 pack either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. The Mi 11i is the odd one for having the 8GB option only.

Storage-wise, the Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11i, and Mi 11 feature 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1. If you want a larger storage option, you can go for the Mi 11 Ultra with 256GB and 512G UFS 3.1 storage options.

Cameras

All four models feature triple-rear cameras but of varying configuration. The Mi 11 Ultra is equipped with the most powerful setup with a 50MP Dual Pixel main, 48MP periscope telephoto, and a 48MP ultra-wide.

The Mi 11 Pro comes second with its 50MP Dual Pixel main, 8MP periscope telephoto, and 13MP ultra-wide.

The Mi 11 comes third with a 108MP main, 13MP ultra-wide, and 5MP macro.

The Mi 11i comes last with its 108MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and 5MP macro.

When it comes to selfies, all four have 20MP shooters; however, the Mi 11 Ultra has an AMOLED screen at the back that serves as a viewfinder if you want to have selfies using the rear camera module.

Battery

The Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro are equipped with the largest battery packs at 5,000mAh with 67W wired fast charging and fast wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The Mi 11 comes next with 4,600mAh and 55W wired fast charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and 10 reverse wireless charging.

The Mi 11i places last with 4,520mAh and 33W wired fast charging.

Other features

All four are pretty much identical with the rest of the features. The difference we found was on the WiFi as the Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro have WiFi 6E for 6GHz band support, as well as tri-band GPS. The Mi 11i and Mi 11 have WiFi 6 and dual-band GPS. All four have stereo speakers.

Three of them are equipped with in-display fingerprint scanners, except for the Mi 11i with a side-mounted one.

The Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro have IP68 dust and water resistance, while the Mi 11i has IP53 dust and splash resistance. The Mi 11, unfortunately, doesn’t have any IP-rated protection.

Which one to get?

If you’re into mobile photography and videography, the Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro are great choices. We recommend the Ultra if you want the best model possible, especially if you’re into photography and videography. The Pro is the second-best option if you don’t really need a powerful zoom and want to get it at a lower price.

It’s a mix between the Mi 11i and Mi 11. If you want better camera specs and a larger battery with more powerful fast charging, go with the latter. But if you’re a casual user but want the flagship experience, the former is also a good choice.
