The Mi-series offering carries a “pro-grade” camera setup at the back that includes a massive, 50-megapixel primary Samsung GN2 sensor. DxOMark said that the flagship camera sensor is close to the traditional 1-inch sensor available on Sony's RX cameras. The Mi 11 Ultra has also achieved 100 points particularly in the zoom test. It's significantly higher than the 68 points received by the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the 76 points by the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.

Although benchmark website DxOMark is yet to bring out its detailed Mi 11 Ultra camera review, it has shared some scores highlighting the image-taking and video-recording performance of the new smartphone. The Mi 11 Ultra has received an overall camera ranking of 143 on the DxOMark benchmarks. This is higher than the 139 points received by the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+, which led the list of top camera smartphones by DxOMark up until now.

In terms of different results, the Mi 11 Ultra got 148 scores for its still photography, 100 for zoom, and 117 for video. The phone seems to preserve texture in still photos quite significantly over the competition. Some comparison shots have also been provided by the DxOMark team to give a glimpse at the onboard advancements.
