Common Questions
What makes the camera system so groundbreaking?
It is the first smartphone to feature two massive 1-inch sensors—one for the main camera and one for the ultrawide. This means landscape and wide-angle shots have the exact same DSLR-like dynamic range and depth of field as the main lens.
How did they fit a 7000mAh battery in a phone?
Xiaomi utilized advanced Silicon-Carbon battery technology, which drastically increases energy density. This allows them to fit 7000mAh of power in a chassis no thicker than last year's 5000mAh phones.
Does the phone overheat with such high specs?
It employs a next-generation 'Loop LiquidCool' system with an aerospace-grade cooling pump that actively circulates liquid, keeping the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 chip frosty even during 4K video rendering.
Is the Leica partnership still active?
Yes, the Leica partnership is stronger than ever. The phone features genuine Leica Summilux glass lenses with variable mechanical apertures and distinct Leica color science profiles.
How fast is the wireless charging?
It supports an absurd 80W wireless fast charging, which is faster than the wired charging of most competitors, fully charging the massive battery in under 50 minutes without plugging in.
Does it have satellite communication?
Yes, it features two-way satellite calling and messaging, allowing you to connect to low-earth orbit satellites when you are completely off the grid in remote areas.
What is the display quality like?
The 2K LTPO display hits a blinding 4500 nits of peak brightness for HDR content and uses 4320Hz PWM dimming to completely eliminate eye fatigue in low-light environments.
Is the back made of glass?
The premium models come in either a high-grip Vegan Leather finish or an ultra-durable Ceramic back, both of which feel incredibly luxurious and resist fingerprints.
Does it come with a photography kit?
Yes, a special bundle includes a physical camera grip attachment with a two-stage shutter button, a zoom lever, and an integrated 1500mAh battery bank for extended shooting.
What is the software experience?
It runs HyperOS 2.0, which is built from the ground up for AI integration, allowing for instant photo editing, object removal, and seamless cross-device connectivity with Xiaomi EVs and smart home products.
