Xiaomi on Monday unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 11 Ultra — the Chinese company is launching a flagship Mi Ultra phone globally for the first time. The Mi 11 Ultra, announced alongside the Mi 11 Lite and Mi 11 Lite 5G at Monday's virtual event, features the kind of top-of-the-line specs you'd expect from one of 2021's highest-profile Android phones.
But its most important feature is a second screen, a feature that's even more unusual when you consider that the Mi 11 Ultra isn't a foldable phone.
As you might expect, there's a display on the front - a 6.81-inch AMOLED panel. But there's also a second, tiny display located on the back, to the right of the three rear cameras. This display is a 1.1-inch AMOLED, which Xiaomi says is useful for information and notifications like battery life, time, and incoming calls if the phone is closed. Most importantly, it displays selfie previews, meaning you can rely on the Mi 11 Ultra's three rear cameras to take professional- looking photos.

The Mi 11 Ultra's rear camera module consists of a 50-megapixel main sensor, as well as a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 48-megapixel periscope-style telephoto lens. It also has 10x optical zoom, making the Mi 11 Ultra a true zoom king.
