In 29. month, Xiaomi introduced its long-awaited flagship phones. The most fully equipped smartphone from this brand is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which offers top specs and a few extra surprises. One of them is a small display on the back next to the camera. What can this display do?
So what is this display actually for here?
Many potential customers are asking the same question. Why is the display there? What will I use it for, and what can it do? Isn’t it a bit pointless? We’ll try to answer that in this article. Isn’t the price even high precisely because of this display that seems unnecessary at first glance?
The first thing that comes to mind is the ability to create great selfie photos—using the main camera, while this small display serves as a viewfinder. That means you won’t need a selfie camera on the front. However, this smartphone still includes one despite that.

Everything you can think of
The functionality of the secondary display doesn’t end there, not even close. One of the other useful features is the ability to keep showing the most important information on it all the time—like the time, notifications, and more. It’s a classic always-on display, just in a smaller form. In this mode, for example, it also lets you control the music player, which can come in handy.
The mini display also lets you accept or reject calls when the smartphone is placed screen-down. It can show the battery level in percentages, along with a striking animation during charging.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra mini display will surprise you
Other features include showing weather alerts and SOS mode. These features are quite noticeably similar to the functions of Mi Band wristbands.
To sum it up, the mini display on the back of the new Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can do more than you might think at first glance. Whether you’ll use these options is up to you. At the very least, using the display to create selfie photos is definitely useful.
