“The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is overpriced for what it delivers.” That was our verdict on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra at launch. Now, over half a year later, how well does Xiaomi’s premium flagship stand up? Turns out, there’s still a lot to like about the Mi 11 Ultra, especially now the price has dropped to a more reasonable level.

Key specs and colorways — along with leaked renders — of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus have been revealed. The phone will likely be available in four colorways: Black, White, Green, and Pink Gold. Additional rumored specs include a 4,500mAh battery, 1,750-nit peak brightness, and a 6.55-inch display. The Galaxy S21 FE isn’t the only Samsung phone to be delayed this year.

Samsung has addressed the first of those issues itself, but I want to outline some thoughts on how big of a concern the second problem is.
What is screen burn-in? Screen burn-in, not to be confused with the similar — though completely temporary — image retention (or image persistence), is a permanent display artifact created when static images remain on the display for extended periods of time.

Nevertheless, our own Rob Triggs wrote an opinion post suggesting that the Pixel 6a was still a little too expensive at $449.
