Soon after Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship phone in China, the rumor mill started speculating on the arrival of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite mid-range phone. Last week, the handset that has a model number of M2101K9AG bagged approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. Rumors have it could be one of the several Xiaomi phones to debut in early 2021. The Indian variant of the smartphone received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on Sunday (via). The BIS certification is a good hint that the handset will be heading to India in the near future.
The M2101K9AI Xiaomi phone’s listing at BIS has neither revealed its moniker nor specifications. The name was confirmed when its global variant (M2101K9AG) has FCC certification.
The FCC listing of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite revealed that it has an LTE smartphone and it is packed with a 4,250mAh battery. The phone carries support for 33W fast charging technology and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. The handset may come in two variants such as 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.
Rumors are rife that the Mi 11 Lite may come with a 120Hz LCD display with a punch-hole design. The Snapdragon 732G chipset could be present under the hood. It could be coming with a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 5-megapixel triple camera system.
It was revealed through a recent leak that the upcoming POCO F2’s model number is K9A. It could be a rebranded or a modified version of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite that has a model number of M2021K9AG. There is a possibility that some markets may receive the Mi 11 Lite as the POCO F2.
