Xiaomi is all set to launch its next-generation flagship smartphone — Mi 11 at an event on 28th December in China. Ahead of the official launch, the device is up for pre-orders in China but the pricing details will be revealed on the day of launch.
Some of the key features and specifications of this upcoming smartphone have already been leaked online. But as the launch day nears, we expect the company to keep sharing more information about the device.
Now, a Weibo user has shared an image of the invitation for the upcoming Mi 11 launch event that comes with a genuine Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. Given that the cost of the chipset is pretty high, it is said that there are only 100 such invitations worldwide.
