Update:

Xiaomi has discredited the information below and has confirmed via TechRadar that the Mi 11 Lite 4G will not be discontinued in India. It also added that if and when the Mi 11 Lite 5G arrives, the 4G version will continue to be sold.

 

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G might have been discontinued in India. Reportedly, the company has discontinued the Mi 11 Lite to make way for the arrival of a new 5G variant.

As per a tweet by known tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Chinese tech giant will be discomfiting the Mi 11 Lite 4G in place of its 5G variant. In other words, the Mi 11 Lite 4G will be replaced by the Mi 11 Lite 5G in the Southeast Asian country. Apparently, the company is aiming on relaunching the device in a 5G variant that will support the newer and faster bandwidth. The news arrives from one of the tipster’s sources.

For those unaware, the Mi 11 Lite 4G arrived in India with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor. This 4G only variant was also launched for the global market as well. Although, the Chinese variant of the device sported the more powerful Snapdragon 780G processor that is 5G enabled. Meaning, the brand might be planning on releasing this 5G version of the device in India.

Notably, the Mi 11 Lite 5G was even launched as the world’s first smartphone to sport the Snapdragon 780G chipset and was also the thinnest 5G handset, measuring just 6.81mm thick. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt. Xiaomi has also yet to make any official announcement as of right now. So stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.
