Google I/O 2021 preview: Here's what to expect from the return of Google's annual developer conference
The annual Google I/O developer conference is back this year after a brief hiatus, so let's take a look at some of the announcements that we're likely to see.

(Danny Winget) Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra vs Galaxy S21 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Test Comparison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed9m3ddQzvU
In this video, Danny compares the new Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra against the S21 Ultra and the iPhone Pro 12 Max.
The GN2 sensor on the Mi11 Ultra launched with very high expectations. In practice, it trades blows and Danny feels it has the most potential, but needs software updates. There are inconsistencies in the images and video.
Danny feels the video of the iPhone is the top and the S21 overall is the top camera phone for Android....
