Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 in China towards the fag end of a hard-hitting 2020. However, it caught everyone by surprise as it’s the first smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 888 SoC. While the device is already selling exceptionally well in China, a Global launch will only be icing on the cake for the sale figures. Accordingly, the device has received Singapore’s IMDA certification and appeared on Geekbench.
Spotted by Mukul Sharma, a Xiaomi Smartphone with model number M2011K2G appears on the IMDA database. Previously, a similar device with model number M2011K2C was spotted on China’s 3C certification before Mi 11’s launch. Later, a similar device appeared on Geekbench with a codename “Venus”.
Now, if you recall, Xiaomi released the Kernel source code of the Mi 11 after it’s launch. This revealed that the codename of the Chinese variant is “Venus”. All these clearly indicate that the device with suffix-‘G'(probably for Global) is the Mi 11. To corroborate this, a new Geekbench listing also shows a device with an M2011K2G model number and “Venus” running Snapdragon 888 SoC, 12GB RAM, Android 11.

Mi 11 Global – Features Expected
Xiaomi Group’s VP has already shared an official poster on Weibo confirming the Global launch of the Mi 11. While Xiaomi is yet to disclose the official dates, it looks like that the deadline isn’t that far away now. Anyway, the Mi 11 Global variant will mostly be the same as the one selling in China.
In that case, the device will feature a 6.8-inch 2K display with a 3200x1400p resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Under the hood, Snapdragon 888 will power the device with 8/12GB RAM, and 128/256GB storage.
We can expect the Blue, Black, and White colors on the GLobal variant. However, we’ll have to wait and see if Xiaomi brings the Smoky Purple, Khaki leather editions or the Lei Jun’s Signature Edition. For cameras, it has a 108MP f/1.85 primary, 13MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP macro on the back, and a 20MP selfie shooter up front.
Other features include a 4,600mAh battery with 55W wired, 50W wireless, 10W reverse wireless charging, Android 11, and MIUI 12.5 out of the box.
