Of course that's the Chinese version International not out yet. Also a good Chinese seller should have set the phone up for you with language & Google play installed hence their super low price.
no it does not ship like this, it's very weird, the phone is supposed to be wrapped in plastic, and the case in a plastic sleeve. in your video the phone was in the plastic sleeve, the case was bare. seems like it was opened before
I'm sooooo glad I watched this. I had my finger on the order button all day for Xiaomi mi 11 ultra "chinese version". Was thinking ah it won't be that bad but fuckkkkkkk this.
omg I have never ever seen anyone smell a phone during a review :D But honestly? if something caught my nose when I unpacked it, I'd intentionally sniff it all over too! THIS is the kind of real review I want to see - thank you! ETA: I'm DYING over your reaction to the "beautifying" filter on the selfie - I had the exact same experience with my Oppo "who tf is that?!" I'm in my 50s and I'm not too wrinkly yet, but my face looked sooooo botoxed (not to mention exceptionally porcelain hued and textured) - it was so creepy/awful/hysterically funny. Now I always go straight to the filter and turn it off or set it to "0" anytime I try a new phone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this was hilarious man!!! I bought this phone recently. The Chinese version too. I love it once you install the play store and get rid of all the Chinese stuff. It's very buggy though. Bootloops and apps crash alot. Sending it back this week. Nevertheless great vid!
I got the same thing but you can download google play and the rest. Adding Microsoft Deployer pretty much gets rid of all the Chinese. I won't work with andriod auto though. I'm trying to convert it now to the global version.
@@Mark-eh1gt Yes.. it's been a month or so now. No issues. There are updates too which I have once (just for fun). The worst part is the unlock process takes a week.
Omg, I got the Redmi note 9 pro 5g and I thought I could deal with it, but the Chinese ROM was horrible, the phone was amazing though but I had to return it
How is it going so far? Any major issues with Google PlayStore integration etc? I ask because I just ordered mine yesterday not knowing it is China version. It is kind of too late the phone is being shipped right now... is it worth keeping it or should I return it?
Thanks for the video It take less than 1 minute to install playstore service Yes its china version but all those stuff in Chinese can be remove There is 2 version of the mi 11 1st is Global Rom ( means international version) 2st China rom ..means china version But china version interms of built quality/ software updates are faster n better than the global version Playstore / google services are already pre install into the setting mode 1minute it take to make it work Most of those Chinese apps can be removed or hide Well thanks for your video Inside the camera setting u can remove some of the skin smoothering Now im using the s21 ultra at the moment but in terms of video stabilization / quality image..mi 11 way better than s21 ultra Front facing camera s21 ultra wins Overall mi 11 is pretty good device and yes u have china version but remember u have the better version compare to the global one Now the difference is that global version..Playstore allready install. No chinesse apps but built quality is not on point whit chinaversion / software updates are slower basically china version better overall Thanks for your video Have a great weekend
@@AJPHIL-bt4me Depending on where u lived I mean I used Xiaomi Poco x3 gt I'm very happy whit this phone I used the s22 ultra , z fold 3 .... this Xiaomi device is perfect for my need and i do many vlogging whit this phone it's global version I have google play store and updates Xiaomi mi 11 pro probably will cost more and depending on where you buy it you may receive china version whit no google play , before buying mi 11 pro , make sure you buy the global version whit play store install, if you still whant to buy it hope you will enjoy your next device!
@@mavidaspi4209 Sorry to disturb you with lots of questions Please so whats your take on installing Custom Rom is it true that the apps crash alot & have lots of Bloatware or it's just XIAOMI hate that spreads around but the device still works fine after Custom Rom is installed
You should have raised your eyebrows to get your forehead to have wrinkles and then take a picture to see if those are smoothed out too. That would be wild.
First of all, I can say that this Mi phone must be Chinese version because the package of Global version will not be printed in Simplified Chinese. One of the significant differences between these two is, there are only 5 languages in Chinese version, they are Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, English, Tibetan and Uyghur while the Global version has almost all the languages except of Chinese Simplified. I always knew that phone manufactured in China usually come with screen protector. Removing it won't change the feeling touching on screen, but it can protect your screen from being scratched and crashed. If you don't want anything damage the screen, you should never take it down. The Chinese input methods usually contains a 9/26 keys Chinese input method and an English input method. To change to English, you just need to press the "中/英" or "中/En" Key. Using an English way will not always result in English. Most of them come up with Chinese. You can change it by open "Also contain English" in Setting. In Chinese phones there will have many apps or functions that are vital in Chinese daily use. And these apps or function usually not translate to other languages. They can be turned off in the Setting. The Ai Assisstant "Xiao Ai" is only good at Chinese. Not like iPhone, which have many languages. The Camera when it comes to selfie, it aims to purify your skin. Makes the skin bright and smooth. Many of the people buy this phone want to have a "Pure Skin" function on the Camera. They don't like a real person but they like a beauty. It can be turned off in the Setting as well. The browser has many recommadations in it main page. They can be use to kill time. But the contents inside is not very nutritious. I think it is better to keep off it. The browser also offer a translate function. When you sufe an English website he will ask you if you need to translate to Chinese. And most of the browser has no specific setting fot "Translate". For the phone manufactured in China, the Global version is only the adoption for the people to use abroad of China. The hardware itself is still Chinese. So it may not work in other area.
I purposely purchased the Chinese version, and that, my friend, is the Chinese version. I purchased Mi 11 Ultra 12G 512G version.....ME: Hopes for English updates, but there are work arounds for now. Download and install all the Google apps.
@dayoaworunse...you making this video, “Xiaomi Mi 11 unboxing, WHAT IS THIS?!!”...Me, watching your review and saying “WHAT IS THIS??!!” I can’t believe that you posted this? Gotta unsubscribe you right now...PEACE! One more thing, your face being lighter n smoother on the selfie? That’s a cultural thing. Korean, Chinese & Japanese. These phones were designed with them in mind.
@@DayoAworunse ...no Dayo, I get that they sent you the wrong phone. Your previous reviews were objective, coherent, with personal input. This review, you sounded like an irate customer who didn’t know that they were being videotaped. Look, I’ve had my TH-cam account since 07’. I’m into multimedia, I always have the latest n greatest gadgets I love watching all of you influencers MKBHD, Flossy Carter, Your Average Consumer, iJustine, Unbox Therapy, Rene Richie, Mr Mobile & all his Brooklyn counterparts, Zollo Tech...etc. I wanted to support you as well but, this review was in except able for me. Thank you for responding.
man why the camera make you look extra smooth and a little whiter? 😂😂 that's crazy maybe take out a loan out of them to buy another Apple product I guess
Dude they sent you Chinese version not international. Also Xiaomi just banned google services for the Chinese version. Send it back and ask for global version. You got duped.
Of course that's the Chinese version International not out yet. Also a good Chinese seller should have set the phone up for you with language & Google play installed hence their super low price.
This one is Xiaomi Mi 11 Chinese Version. International Version comes with a charger.
Thanks for the clarification
@@DayoAworunse My pleasure.
Does anyone know how to update china version to global version on mi11 ultra ? Thanks much appreciate 🙏🏾
Man ur soo underrated,u need way more recognition
Peppa Pig songs are underrated too
@@DayoAworunse wow
@@DayoAworunse :)
Peppa I love you
A ota update will fix this ?
no it does not ship like this, it's very weird, the phone is supposed to be wrapped in plastic, and the case in a plastic sleeve. in your video the phone was in the plastic sleeve, the case was bare. seems like it was opened before
The international version comes with a charger in the box.
Thats what I was thinking too, cause the globally event said the charger was included, I didn't get one
Smell test reminded me of Floss Carter. Nonetheless your videos have quite a good quality :)
I'm sooooo glad I watched this. I had my finger on the order button all day for Xiaomi mi 11 ultra "chinese version". Was thinking ah it won't be that bad but fuckkkkkkk this.
You're the very first tech reviewer I've seen who smells phone.
omg I have never ever seen anyone smell a phone during a review :D But honestly? if something caught my nose when I unpacked it, I'd intentionally sniff it all over too! THIS is the kind of real review I want to see - thank you!

Is the phone still with u?
No it’s not
That first phone smell test was like a Bruce Lee impression! lol Great video, btw. 👍

Hope TH-cam starts promoting your channel more this year 🙌🏽
We'll see. Rolling the die every video
How to install global version !?
Me before watching the video: I wonder if I should get the global or Chinese version?
Me 2 minutes in: Global version it is.
you may have bought a phone which the seller installed the international firmware by his own. the Chinese version is cheaper
That's what I'm thinking.
I had same problem. I'm going to try and flash the global ROM to it.
I got the same thing but you can download google play and the rest. Adding Microsoft Deployer pretty much gets rid of all the Chinese. I won't work with andriod auto though. I'm trying to convert it now to the global version.
Did you switch it to global yet?
I unlocked it, downloaded the MIUI 12.5 EU ROM and replaced the CN OS. It’s pretty great now.
@@mrphildc cool, I need to do that! Is everything working as it should?
@@Mark-eh1gt Yes.. it's been a month or so now. No issues. There are updates too which I have once (just for fun). The worst part is the unlock process takes a week.
@@mrphildc I've started as well, need to wait about 3 days lol
Damn it comes with a case AND screen protector
Why you're still acting surprised 5 minutes into the video.
You think the INTERNATIONAL version is in english and the rest asian??? Come on man
There's a way to upgrade to the global rom
How? Do you have a link?
Omg, I got the Redmi note 9 pro 5g and I thought I could deal with it, but the Chinese ROM was horrible, the phone was amazing though but I had to return it
Keep it up man!!
One of the most funny review ever
Thumb up
Who snells their box first thing? What did it taste like? Duh.
How is it going so far? Any major issues with Google PlayStore integration etc? I ask because I just ordered mine yesterday not knowing it is China version. It is kind of too late the phone is being shipped right now... is it worth keeping it or should I return it?
Bro where do you live?
Maybe you ate fish before the unboxing happened.
Thanks for the video
It take less than 1 minute to install playstore service
Yes its china version but all those stuff in Chinese can be remove
There is 2 version of the mi 11
1st is Global Rom ( means international version)
2st China rom ..means china version
But china version interms of built quality/ software updates are faster n better than the global version
Playstore / google services are already pre install into the setting mode
1minute it take to make it work
Most of those Chinese apps can be removed or hide
Well thanks for your video
Inside the camera setting u can remove some of the skin smoothering
Now im using the s21 ultra at the moment but in terms of video stabilization / quality image..mi 11 way better than s21 ultra
Front facing camera s21 ultra wins
Overall mi 11 is pretty good device and yes u have china version but remember u have the better version compare to the global one
Now the difference is that global version..Playstore allready install.
No chinesse apps but built quality is not on point whit chinaversion / software updates are slower basically
china version better overall
Thanks for your video
Have a great weekend
Do international banking apps work on the China rom?
Would you consider I want to buy the XIAOMI MI 11 Pro in 2022 do u think it's worth it
@@AJPHIL-bt4me
Depending on where u lived
I mean I used Xiaomi Poco x3 gt
I'm very happy whit this phone
I used the s22 ultra , z fold 3 ....
this Xiaomi device is perfect for my need and i do many vlogging whit this phone
it's global version I have google play store and updates
Xiaomi mi 11 pro probably will cost more and depending on where you buy it you may receive china version whit no google play ,
before buying mi 11 pro , make sure you buy the global version whit play store install, if you still whant to buy it
hope you will enjoy your next device!

I love this video so much
One of my favorites too

A phone for the bi-lingual customer. 😁
im sure you know by now but of coarse the beauty / filter was on by default
Nooo i wasn’t supposed to laugh this hard MAN
Yes. Yes you were 😂😭
Xiaomi loves their beauty filters

I got the English ROM version of phone thru giztop but 25% of various things still in Chinese. Lol so just winging it 🤷🏾♂️
Very honest review of not buying Chinese phones
ok i need to know why that new phone smells like fish??
I purposely purchased the Chinese version, and that, my friend, is the Chinese version.
I purchased Mi 11 Ultra 12G 512G version.....ME: Hopes for English updates, but there are work arounds for now.
Download and install all the Google apps.
This is why I don't buy Xiaomi phones I'm afraid of things like this happening. Lmao😂

And I thought skin smoothing on Samsung phones were bad
This is the new king of skin smoothing
Time to learn Chinese to unlock your phone.
I really should
Riassomer of video: what is this??
man why the camera make you look extra smooth and a little whiter? 😂😂 that's crazy maybe take out a loan out of them to buy another Apple product I guess
You're stupid and corny. Get back on your camel and ride out of here.
and you do have a chinese version
So its a shit phone for everyday use because of all those chinese bloatware shit? Even though its global rom?
How can on earth it smells like fish?
Ce te-a trolat xiaomi 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This video would have been 5 times shorter if you handnt have repeated yourself 5 times on every criticism.
Dude they sent you Chinese version not international. Also Xiaomi just banned google services for the Chinese version. Send it back and ask for global version. You got duped.
duped indeed and disappointed as well
يارجل انت كتير بليد 🤦🏻♂️
I've tried the international version, IT'S WAYYYY more different than this, this is DEFINITELY not the international version 😭
Oh well the Chinese lost on this one 😂
The phone is spying on you.
Lets hope not

Thought this was the Chinese ripoff version of a Chinese ripoff
