One month after launch, Xiaomi yet to put Mi 11 Ultra on sale and interested buyers are fuming 

2021 seemed like the year when Xiaomi might finally make inroads in the flagship category. It nearly did. The Mi 11 Ultra turned out to be an excellent smartphone but, it is yet to go on sale.

Xiaomi may have messed up. Don’t get me wrong, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer still holds the top spot with 26 per cent market share in India according to Counterpoint Research’s report for Q1 2021. The growth may show in the second quarter as well because of the kind of response the Redmi Note 10 series got. However, things could have been better if the Mi 11 Ultra launched on April 23 was selling in the country. Sadly, even after a month of its launch, the 2021 Xiaomi flagship is yet to get a sale date. 2021 seemed like the year when Xiaomi might finally make inroads in the flagship category. It nearly did. The Mi 11 Ultra turned out to be an excellent smartphone, as we highlighted in our Mi 11 Ultra review. This is why there was a strong buzz around it and a lot of customers were waiting to get their hands on the phone. All of them are still waiting. Xiaomi had launched the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro on the same date and both these smartphones have already gone on pre-orders. The Mi 11 Ultra hasn’t. Xiaomi hasn’t clarified why there is a delay in Mi 11 Ultra sale, neither has it reserved a future date when the phone can be available in the country.
