Last month (non sense story, read it if you want),
I decide to trade my Iphone 11 pro max to mi 11 5g cuz it was so laggy and overheating and I might destroy it if i force it to play high end games, and i have a great deal about 1k PHP thats around 20+ dollars i guess, and he told me the mi 11 has no issues and hasnt open and repaired yet and the only issue i expected was only the battery, and we met up the deal was finalize and he was in a rush thats why i have no time to check the phone.
(The fun and fcked up part)
When i was walking in the streets and while waiting for the jeep to go home, i notice the camera was blurry and i thought i was just a bug or something and i keep taking pictures still blurry the main camera was blurry the only clear was the 0.6 lens, I message the seller he told me he forgot to tell me that the camera was blurry and i was pissed, and I ask for a discount from 1K PHP ($20+) to 700 PHP ($12-$15), i was scared to tell about this to my girlfriend cuz she will get mad and tell me about the trade that i was dump and it was a bad trade cuz she doesnt know about phone and she thinks iphone is better than android all the time. After few days i decided to replace the battery cuz it was degraded and cooked, and it might fry the motherboard if i force to play heavy games like delta force mobile, codm, pubgm, and nba 2k25 myteam mobile (high chance to get deadboot cuz its a snapdragon 888 + degraded battery + its summer season). And days before i replace the battery, when i was mesmerizing the phone and cleaning my phone deleting bloatware and turning off useless settings, i notice the gap of the corner of the backglass was so big and i immediately message the seller and ask about that and he still lying to me that this phone wasnt open yet by the previous owner, i was overthinking that this phone was repaired from deadboot or something, and the day that i went to the repair shop, before replacing the battery i ask the technician if this phone was repaired before, and he told me its not, the only thing the previous owner did was replacing the backglass and its low quality, and i ask about the blurry camera he told me maybe it was because of the update of hyperOS and the camera replacement might be useless, and i felt relief and told him to replace the battery, and now my phone is good and normal now, the only issue that i face was of course is the overheating and the slight or a little of digitizer instability or touch sensitivity flicker when im playing codm (im not sure if that was it call, your POV will rotate fast out of nowhere). I forgot the antutu benchmark of this phone before i replace the battery was 710k and 775k when the performance mode was on, and 774k after i replace the batter
– Now i wanna ask, is this a good trade?
– Is this still good in 2025?
– What is your suggestions in this phone to make it better?
– Can you help me about this issue? Comment if you can
888 has WiFi and modem issues in general, especially on the Mi 11 💀
AnTuTu scores are pointless and you know that… my Snapdragon 865 can reach 900+K with overclocked GPU, and some people reached 1 Million.
Mi 11 IS incredible good Phone best Phone i ever owned. Amazing native 27mp camera Shots. Unlucky your camera seem to be broken and ITs definitly Not the Software. If U Wanna get absolutely Sure Install Xiaomi.eu custom Rom but i can garantee the lens IS Dead. Just replace it, Not that hard . Maybe the lens under the Glas Just has to be cleaned
Aside from that good Trade and amazing Phone, only Bad Battery life.
Still amazing Phone but No Updates anymore
Well now save money and when you can, throw away the Xiaomi 11 and buy a Xiaomi 15 or Ultra
The issue is your phone’s auto focus is not working I usually happens when dropping it or shaking it hard for a long time and the easy way to fix it is just replace the camera
Mi 11 is a pocket heater. Good luck.
If you dont turn off the settings especially the AOD, deleting bloatwares, and didnt replace the battery. I experience that before i replace the battery HAHAHA
The technician told me that he will CPU reball the phone, thats a risky part
I ask if he can replace it he said no, the only thing he can do is CPU reball this phone, and its risky. I think he was just avoiding the responsibility of changing the lens or the lens was not available
I notice no issue about the wifi and modem, before i have redmi k40 pro same chipset as mi 11 and i dont experince that, maybe it depends on how you use
And about the antutu score i wanna reach 900k or 1M points but im scared my phone might explode if i overclocked it, i wanna custom rom this but not today maybe if i have 2nd and 3rd, so i wont cry if the custom rom failed
In performance, its decent good the only thing that i dont like is the sensitivity flicker thing when playing codm cuz the POV rotate out of nowhere i think because of the overheating i still finding ways to fix it.
Oh that’s also can be the issue the processors image processing is not working properly it can also lead to a blurry photo does your phone heats up so quickly if it that means that the cpu’s soldering has been cracked or dried it can be solved with a cpu reballing if it is a good technician don’t worry. share if the issue solved after reballing. Good luck 😀
ASK another He Just clearly doesnt Wanna do IT or has No clue at all its clearly Hardware issue
Pretty Common issue in Snapdragon 888 Phones without proper camera cooling because the chip produces a Lot of Heat
