Xiaomi has built a display from a fitness bracelet into a flagship smartphone

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun announced an unexpected detail about the design of the new flagship Mi 11

Ultra. As it turned out, the additional display of the smartphone, which is located in the camera block, was borrowed from the Mi Band 5 fitness bracelet.

The additional screen has a diagonal of only 1.1 inches. It is designed to display time and date, notifications and taking pictures with a selfie camera.

Lei Jun confirmed that this display has already been used in Xiaomi products - in the Mi Band 5 fitness tracker. The latter had exactly the same 1.1-inch screen.

It is not yet clear what origin these displays have. Perhaps Xiaomi pulled them out of unsold fitness bracelets, or perhaps ordered more of these screens from their suppliers.
