Parallelly, there have been reports that Mi 11 Lite will be a 4G device with Snapdragon 732G chipset. But, considering the predecessor Mi 10 Lite launched as a 5G device in some markets like Japan, Europe(Mi 10 Lite 5G) we feel the 11 Lite will have a 5G version too.
In that case, there is a possibility that the Snapdragon 888, 870 phones for India could be the Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite. It’s also worth noting that Xiaomi is rumored to launch a Mi 10 model with Snapdragon 870 chipset. Since we are already in 2021 and the naming is old now, this model could carry the Mi 11 Lite moniker.
That said, these are just a guess from our side, and let’s wait for official news to confirm it. Either way, Mi 11 will launch in India in Gray, Blue colors and 8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage. The Mi 11 Lite, on the other hand, will come in Black, Blue, Pink colors and 6/8GB RAM, 64/128GB storage.
