As we get closer to Snapdragon 875 launch, Xiaomi’s Mi 11 has managed to hit the radar of leaks frequently. The device is expected to be the first Snapdragon 875 device in China. And now, it looks like the Mi 11 will likely feature a punch-hole screen with curved edges on all sides.
The latest tip comes from Digital Chat Station on Weibo who hints(via Sina Technology) that Xiaomi Mi 11 could sport a four-sided curved display and retain the punch-hole. Precisely, the Mi 11 is likely to feature the small punch-hole cutout at the top left corner of the screen. However, we aren’t aware of the front camera specs just yet.
If we recall, Xiaomi’s 2020’s flagships like Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro 5G, and Mi 10 Ultra all have dual-curved screens on the longer sides. On the contrary, rivals like Samsung, OnePlus have been moving away from curved screens due to various reasons. Besides, the curved screens might have some use-case scenarios like edge-edge content viewing, a more attractive look. And smooth swipes from the edges but there’s are a few Cons too.
That is, there is always the risk of durability, accidental palm touches, and a few others. Hence, it will be interesting to see how Xiaomi markets the all-curved display. That said, this tip pretty much shows that prior reports by a few were wrong as they mistook leaked images of the alleged Vivo X60 series for Mi 11.
Anyway, it looks like the Mi 11 will have a revamped design compared to the predecessor. Although we aren’t sure how many models the iteration will have, it is likely to have upgraded internals like Snapdragon 875 SoC, 48MP ultra-wide camera with 0.8μm pixel size, improved stabilization, and more.
So far, we don’t have an exact launch date but we feel that the device might break cover anytime soon. That is because Mi 10 recently went out of stock. And Xiaomi officially discontinued the Mi 10 Pro in China suggesting a new launch in the near future.
