At the beginning of this month, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 888 5G mobile platform that will power most of the flagship Android phones in 2021. Soon after its launch, Xiaomi took to Weibo to tell the world that it will be the first brand to launch the Snapdragon 888 powered smartphone. We exclusively revealed that the company was likely to announce the Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship series by the end of this month. And today, the company has released an official confirmation that the Mi 11 series will break cover on Dec. 28.
As the poster reveals, the Xiaomi Mi 11 series will launch at 7:30 PM (local time) on Dec. 28. The company did not share any information on the specs of the Mi 11 lineup. With around a week remaining for the launch, it appears that the company may soon rollout official renders or confirm some features in the next few days.
It is believed that the Xiaomi M2011K2C phone that has been previously spotted at places like CMIIT, 3C, and Geekbench could be the Xiaomi Mi 11 series phone. Like the Mi 10 series, the Mi 11 lineup may include two flagship phones such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro. The M2011K2C model number may belong to the vanilla model that is codenamed, Venus.
The Geekbench listing revealed that the Snapdragon 888 powered handset is equipped with 12 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS. Its 3C appearance revealed that it may ship with a 55W fast charger. Both Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro are expected to debut as the first Xiaomi phones with support for quad HD+ resolution. Both phones are also expected to arrive with 120Hz refresh rate support.
The rear side of the Xiaomi Mi 11 duo could be fitted with a square-shaped camera module with a 108-megapixel main camera. It was speculated based on 3C listings that the Mi 11 has a 4,780mAh rated battery, whereas the Mi 11 Pro has a 4,970mAh rated battery.
