The Xiaomi Mi 11 Extremely. Uh, it is acquired a display screen within the digicam bump?
-
Yep. That is a display screen.

Right here the display screen is displaying the digicam interface. It appears to only mirror the entrance show.

I select to consider Xiaomi’s designers have been staring straight on the Nokia 808 whereas designing the Mi 11 Extremely.
-
It is available in black and white.

That digicam bump seems to be actually tall.

Chopping the entrance digicam could be attention-grabbing, however this system nonetheless has one.
Xiaomi is gearing as much as launch the Mi 11 Extremely as its subsequent flagship smartphone, and one of many extra attention-grabbing design touches is a tiny, postage-stamp-sized show in… uh, the digicam bump? Filipino YouTuber Tech Buff brings us an unique leak of the system, which has some pixels the place there will not be usually pixels. In the event you’re sitting there asking “why?” the reply is “consideration.” The reply is all the time “consideration.” We’re writing about it proper now, so it’s very working!
Tech Buff ended up taking the video down, however XDA Developers has a mirror of the video up on YouTube.
We do not have official specs, a launch date, or advertising and marketing information but, however the telephone appears to be a reasonably customary 2021 flagship with a Snapdragon 888 SoC. The again options what must be the world’s largest digicam bump, with two huge lenses, a “120x” periscope digicam (that is not the precise optical zoom ranking), and an LED flash. Subsequent to all that ordinary digicam stuff is a tiny little show, which appears to be the identical facet ratio because the entrance show and seems to easily mirror the entrance show always. The video exhibits the again display screen maintaining with the entrance display screen because the person navigates round in just a few apps. Hopefully, you possibly can flip it off, too, for privateness’s sake.
Once more, with no advertising and marketing supplies to seek the advice of, it is onerous to know precisely what the purpose of the additional display screen is. It might work as a viewfinder when taking a selfie with the rear digicam, however it’s onerous to think about utilizing it for far more than that—it is simply so ridiculously small. The telephone has a entrance digicam, so you possibly can nonetheless take selfies the old style approach, too.
Squeezing a show into the digicam bump means the Mi 11 Extremely has one of many largest digicam bumps ever. The digicam bump is clearly tremendous tall, and it stretches throughout the complete width of the telephone. One good thing about that is that it means the telephone will truly be regular on a desk. Telephones with tall digicam bumps typically rock forwards and backwards whenever you attempt to use them on a desk, however this seems to be like will probably be rock-solid.
The white model of the Mi 11 Extremely with a full-width black digicam bump is a useless ringer for the Nokia 808. That telephone, from 2012, used its large digicam bump for big digicam {hardware}, and in consequence can nonetheless stand as much as trendy flagship smartphone cameras. If we will go together with these large digicam bumps, I want somebody would copy the 808 technique as an alternative of… no matter that is.
