The Mi 11 Lite was the most affordable device in the Mi 11 series. The device was unveiled by Xiaomi in the first half of 2021.

It was announced in two variants — 4G and 5G. Both models share the same set of specs, except for the chipset.

Recently, Xiaomi ended software support for the 4G model. The 5G version should also face a similar fate in the near future.

If you own this phone, you might be wondering whether you should upgrade your device. Let’s find out if you should invest in a new smartphone or continue using your old one.

What makes Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite special?

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite, as the name suggests, is a thin and light smartphone. The device was the lightest 5G phone when it was released.

Both the 4G and 5G models have a thickness of just 6.8mm. However, the 4G variant is slightly lighter at 157g compared to 5G version’s 159g weight.

The device also features a premium build. It has a glass sandwich design complemented by a plastic frame.

The cameras don’t stick out too much like on most smartphones these days. Thus, it is not only sleek and light but also clean.

How does Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite stack up in 2024?

The internals of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite were the best available at its price point when it was released. The 4G model has the most powerful mid-range chip, i.e. Snapdragon 732G. While the 5G variant houses a Snapdragon 780G SoC.

These chipsets are paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. The specs may seem outdated today, but the device is fast enough for day-to-day operations although it is slower than newer products.

The 6.55-inch FHD+ OLED display can play HDR content. However, it is limited to a 90Hz refresh rate when 120Hz is the norm now. 

Being a thin and light smartphone, the handset houses a small 4,250mAh battery that charges at 33W. Therefore, the endurance is comparatively lower than newer products, especially with a battery that went through multiple charging cycles over the years.

Finally, the cameras are capable but they lag behind the latest phones in terms of both hardware and image processing. But it has got a 5MP telemacro camera, which no other smartphone offers today.

Can you continue using Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite in 2024 and beyond?

Both the 4G and 5G variants of Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite are still usable in 2024. In fact, you can continue using the handset for at least a couple more years.

To get an overall better experience, we advise users to replace the battery. This is highly recommended for people who have been using the phone since launch.

The 4G variant will no longer receive software updates. We expect the same for the 5G version shortly. 

Anyways, the device currently boots Android 13. So there won’t be app compatibility issues for the next few years.

Why should you upgrade your Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite?

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite can be used without any issues though its software support has ended. But there are some reasons why you may want to switch to a newer phone.

You may have purchased the Mi 11 Lite depending on your needs. But as years go by, your requirements may change.

Hence, you may want to upgrade to a newer smartphone, if you want a more powerful device with better cameras, longer battery life, and faster charging support. However, if you are satisfied with the experience, we don’t see any reason for you to change your handset.

Xiaomi has started rolling out the Android 12-based MIUI 13 stable update for eligible devices. The latest version of the company’s mobile software is currently being seeded out to teasers in the beta program. After premium devices, the update is now live for the mid-range Mi 11 Lite 5G.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has released the MIUI 13 stable update for Mi 11 Lite 5G in China. The fresh update for the handset arrives with firmware version V13.0.4.0.SKICNXM.

As mentioned in the beginning, this update is only available for testers part of the beta program. Hence, the release is labeled ‘Stabe Beta’ at the moment. If these early adopters don’t fancy any issue, then the same build will be rolled out to regular users in a batched manner.

Xiaomi is expected to start pushing stable release for the general public from late January. The Mi 11 Lite 5G doesn’t come in the initial batch, however, regular users can expect the update in February.

So far, Xiaomi has rolled out the MIUI 13 stable update based on Android 12 for 7 other smartphones and 3 tablets. These include the Mi 11 series, Redmi K40 series, MIX 4, and Xiaomi Pad 5 series.

We expect more Xiaomi group handsets to get the new version of MIUI in the upcoming days.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for two more Lite smartphones. These devices are called Mi 11 Lite and Mi Note 10 Lite. The former was released in 2021, while the latter launched in 2020.

The latest version of MIUI is now being seeded out to Mi 11 Lite and Mi Note 10 Lite with the following build numbers.

• Mi 11 Lite

  • Global – V12.5.8.0.RKQMIXM
  • EEA – V12.5.6.0.RKQEUXM
  • India – V12.5.3.0.RKQINXM

• Mi Note 10 Lite

  • Global – V12.5.4.0.RFNMIXM
  • Turkey – V12.5.4.0.RFNTRXM

Like any other OTA software update, the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the aforementioned Xiaomi phones is also being rolled out in batches.

Therefore, some users may receive the update earlier, while others may have to wait a bit longer. It should be also available for the remaining regional variants of these devices in the coming days.

The Mi Note 10 Lite is the oldest of the two handsets. It debuted in 2020 with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. On the other hand, the Mi 11 Lite went official earlier this year with MIUI 12 based on Android 11.

Both these phones only saw a limited availability. Hence, we don’t think Xiaomi will support them for a longer period of time. Perhaps, the company might surprise us.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition in China. On the other hand, the company is yet to deliver standard MIUI 12.5 in global markets. The latest devices to get the latter update in India are Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10.

The Mi 11 Lite (4G variant) launched in India at the end of June. The handset debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. Almost two months after its release in the country, it has now begun to receive the MIUI 12.5 update.

The latest system update for this smartphone arrives with build number V12.5.2.0.RKQINXM. Apart from bringing new features and improvements, it also bumps up the security patch level to August 2021.

Whereas, the Redmi Note 10 made its debut in India in March with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. Though it is still the most affordable Redmi Note 10 series model, it has become expensive over the months with multiple price hikes.

That said, with aging, the phone is also becoming wiser with the latest software update. The new update brings the much-awaited MIUI 12.5 with build number V12.5.1.0.RKGINXM. But unfortunately, it comes with outdated June 2021 security patches.

Like any other OTA system update, the latest software builds for these two phones are also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, they might take some time to reach every user.

We might not see the launch of a smartphone that sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G anytime soon. New information has just surfaced that has revealed that the chip is in limited supply and might not be available in smartphones for a while.

Known Weibo blogger, a Chinese microblogging website, @数码闲聊站 (digital chat station) had recently shared a post on the social media platform. In this, he stated that he expects a wave of new smartphones will launch that feature the Snapdragon 778G SoC. However, he said that no new device with the Snapdragon 780G is expected to launch due to limited supply and further added that the issue might also affect the production of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite as well.

To this online post, the product director of Xiaomi, Wang Teng added that the chipset from Qualcomm is in short supply due to its limited production capacity at the moment. Although, the Chinese tech giant’s official said that the Mi 11 Lite will still be shipped as the company was able to secure what little stock remained of the processor. In other words, the Mi 11 Lite is the only latest handset that sports this SoC as of right now and we might not see a new device featuring this processor for a while now. OEMs would also likely have to wait for the production of the chipset to rise to include it in their offerings.

For those unaware, the Snapdragon 780G from Qualcomm is a top of the line chip for mid range handsets. It is built on a 5nm process and features a Cortex-A78 core clocked at 2.4GHz paired with three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores that are clocked at 1.9GHz. For graphics, the chip features the Adreno 642 GPU.

The Mi 11 series is Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone lineup for the year 2021. Originally, the series includes four models. Out of them, the regular, the Pro, and the Lite feature an identical rear design. The same design can be also found on the Redmi K40 series. Now, months after the launch of these devices, a couple of sketches reveal a design of the series during their development stage.

The vanilla Mi 11 was announced in late December 2020 as the world’s first Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 phone. The device was followed by Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Lite, and Mi 11 Ultra in late March. In February, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi also unveiled the Redmi K40 series.

All these phones apart from the Mi 11 Ultra sport a unique camera layout, which stands out among the crowd. For the first time in a while, one could easily identify them as a Xiaomi smartphone.

Thankfully, Xiaomi chose this design over a couple of generic designs whose sketches have been shared by Digital Chat Station recently on Weibo. The now-canceled designs during the development stage of the Mi 11 series are too common.

As you can see from the sketches, the first one resembles the OPPO Reno series. On the other hand, the second design is similar to that of the vivo X series. Anyway, it is worth noting that Xiaomi had already used the latter design on the Mi 10T series last year.

For years, Xiaomi has been known for copying Apple’s designs. It’s good that the company has now established a unique identity in 2021 with its new design language. We hope that the firm continues to follow this in the future.

What are your thoughts on Xiaomi’s current design language? Do you think the company should continue using it in the next generation with some tweaks? Do let us know in the comment section below.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite was recently launched in India and has already seen great success in the region. Now, the company has revealed that the device’s sales have broken records, reaching 200 Crore INR (roughly 26.8 million US Dollars) within just the first week of its launch.

The sales figures from the Chinese tech giant’s smartphones include both offline and online channels, with the model seeing great response from customers in India. Dr. Vivek Kumar, Business Lead of Mi smartphones, stated that “With the launch of Mi 11 Lite as well, we introduced the perks of a flagship level experience featured in an ultralight and slim form factor, for our fashionable young audiences. The 200 crore milestone is a testimony that we are constantly supported by our Mi Fans and consumers, when we try something new and exciting, and that there is an appetite for such devices in the market.”

For those unaware, India is a key market for Xiaomi, with the brand being a major player in the Indian smartphone market. Furthermore, the success of the Mi 11 Lite is likely due to the company’s traditional strategy of aggressive pricing with competitive specifications. The smartphone starts from 21,999 INR (roughly 296 US Dollars) and offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC. It sports a 6.55 inch 10 bit AMOLED DoTDisplay with support for a 90Hz high refresh rate.

The handset is also the slimmest and lightest smartphone of 2021, with a 6.8mm thickness and weighing just 157 grams. On the rear, the device houses a 64 megapixel triple camera setup along with an ultra wide angle lens and macro sensor. It even offers IP53 certification and has been available through the company’s official Mi.com stores, Mi Home Stores, Flipkart.com, and over 10,000 partner retail stores as well.

Underneath, the phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chipset which is coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. On the connectivity front, it supports dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO).

In the camera department, the phone features a triple-camera setup that includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 5-megapixel tele-macro lens. On the front side, the device has a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies.

Xiaomi is expected to release MIUI 13 in August. Ahead of it, the company has been updating its devices to MIUI 12.5. The latest handsets to receive this update are Mi 11 Lite 4G and Mi 8 Lite. Both these smartphones are a watered-down version of the flagship Mi 11 and the Mi 8 series respectively.

The Mi 11 Lite 4G was unveiled in late March with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. The phone is being gradually introduced in markets around the world. It launched in India this week.

Three months after its announcement, the ‘Global’ variant of the handset has started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update with build number V12.5.3.0.RKQMIXM. Unsurprisingly, the software build is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. In simpler words, the update is being pushed in batches.

On the other hand, the Mi 8 Lite is a fairly old device. It launched in 2018 with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.0 Oreo. So far, it has received MIUI 10, MIUI 11, and MIUI 12 updates, in addition to Android 9.0 Pie and Android 10.

Now, Xiaomi has started rolling out the MIUI 12.5 update for this phone. The update is currently live in China with build number V12.5.1.0.QDTCNXM. It is being seeded out in batches.

The latest system update for both these smartphones should reach the other regional variants in the coming days. Last but not least, this should be the last-ever major update for the Mi 8 Lite. It will not receive MIUI 13 update like the Mi 11 Lite 4G.

Xiaomi has a launch event scheduled for June 22 in India. The tech giant plans to launch its upper mid-range phone, the Mi 11 Lite as well as a new smartwatch, the Mi Watch Revolve Active.

Realme Narzo 30 – June 24

The new teaser for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite merely teases the lightness of the said smartphone. Since the device is already official, we know everything about it and there’s nothing left to learn more.

However, Xiaomi India’s marketing team wants to hype up the phone like any other brand before its release in the country. Hence, the new teaser after a week still does not reveal the launch date. Hopefully, the company announces it soon.

As far as the handset is concerned, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is currently one of the thinnest and lightest smartphones in the world. It measures only 6.81mm in thickness and weighs 157g.

The device comes with a 6.55-inch FHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 64MP + 8MP + 5MP triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, MIUI 12 based on Android 11, 4,250mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

Going by the handset’s price in other markets, it should cost more than the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India. Unfortunately, this price segment is filled with 5G-enabled phones. Hence, the Mi 11 Lite will have intense competition.

In our opinion, Xiaomi should also bring the Mi 11 Lite 5G with Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G to India. But that does not seem to on the cards for now.

According to a tweet by the official Xiaomi Nigeria account, the Mi 11 Lite (4G) is already available in the country. The phone is available in a single configuration – 8GB RAM + 128GB of storage – and is priced at ₦146,000 (~$355). Unfortunately, there is no mention of where you can purchase it.

That price tag is higher than that of the Redmi Note 10 Pro, another Xiaomi (read Redmi) phone with similar specs that launched in the country early last month for ₦135,000 (~$329). When compared, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is the better buy.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro also has an FHD+ AMOLED display but with a 120Hz refresh rate that is higher than the Mi 11 Lite’s 90Hz refresh rate. The Mi 11 Lite has a smaller screen so you get a higher pixel density but both can display 1 billion colors and have Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10 Pro are powered by the same Snapdragon 732G processor, have the same 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the same 16MP camera. However, you get a 108MP quad camera on the Redmi Note 10 Pro while the Mi 11 Lite has a 64MP triple rear camera. Another difference is that while they both have support for storage expansion, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a dedicated MicroSD card slot, but for the Mi 11 Lite, it is a shared SIM slot.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro wins again with a bigger 5020mAh battery as against the Mi 11 Lite’s 4250mAh battery capacity (33W fast charging is available on both devices). It also has an audio jack. The two phones run MIUI 12 based on Android 11 out of the box.

Which will you be getting, the Mi 11 Lite or the Redmi Note 10 Pro?

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite (4G) launched in Nigeria but the Redmi Note 10 Pro is the better buy appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is supposed to be the cheapest and least impressive model in this year’s Mi 11 series. It doesn’t have a powerful camera or a top-notch screen. But I think it still has some highlights that are unique to the model. For these rare highlights, I think there are still many people who will pay for it. 

Before I start the review I want to make one thing clear. The Mi 11 Lite in this review is the 5G-enabled Chinese version, not the 4G-only global version. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Design

Its appearance at first glance is almost identical to that of the Mi 11. It has the same lens module design, the same logo position. But the details are different. For example, the back panel has become flat, the power button has integrated fingerprint recognition, and the “108MP” on the lens is gone.

In terms of design alone, it is very ordinary. But its biggest highlight is its weight and thickness control. 159g weight and 6.81mm thickness is very rare for a 5G phone. And this is also the lightest and thinnest 5G phone we’ve tested.

The weight of this phone plus an egg is only as much as a Mi 11 Pro. And most importantly, although the frame is still plastic, the back panel is still made of AG frosted glass. It feels much better than a phone that is entirely made of plastic. At least it won’t feel so cheap. Although the Mi 11 Lite 5G design is very ordinary, I am willing to give it a high rating for this extreme weight and thickness control.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Display

The front of the Mi 11 Lite 5G features a 6.55-inch 90Hz 1080p screen with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. The bottom bezel width is well controlled, and the screen is a bit like the iPhone 11 with four equal widths. And this straight screen is made of flexible AMOLED, so theoretically the look and feel should be good.

But Mi 11 Lite 5G’s comes in two types of displays in the market. Basically, the pixels are arranged in two different configurations. One variant features a screen with Diamond-like pixels, while the other has RGB Delta pixels. Unfortunately, the RGB Delta pixels screen when compared to the diamond-like pixel’s screen has worse font clarity, and the font edge has a color edge problem. The unit we have features a screen with RGB Delta pixels, so the screen quality is low compared to the other variant that comes at the same price. And if you look at the phone’s screen from the side, the problem of the color cast is obvious. But if you’re lucky and get a version with diamond-like pixels of the screen, I believe the screen can still score a passing grade. But the RGB Delta pixels version is obviously a failing grade.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Performance and Gaming

The second highlight of the Mi 11 Lite 5G is the new Snapdragon 780G processor. The performance of the new 5nm Snapdragon mid-range processor is as follows: AnTuTu Benchmark runs at 537788, 3Dmark at 3121, Geekbench 5 single-core at 805, and multi-core at 2937. Compared to MTK’s Dimensity 1200, it is still a bit worse.

The gaming test also confirms this view. PUBG seems to exert no significant pressure on the mid-range chip, running at almost full frame rate with HDR Graphics Extreme frame rate.

However, Genshin Impact had an average frame rate of 37.96fps, which was a rather mediocre experience.

Brightridge was even worse, with an average of less than 30fps.

The one thing that performed better was the temperature control. The maximum temperature reached was only 50 degrees Celsius, and the chip wasn’t down-clocked during gaming. The screen brightness wasn’t forced down either. Overall, the Mi 11 Lite 5G is only suitable for light gaming users.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Camera

The camera on the Mi 11 Lite 5G is a budget camera. The three cameras consist of a 64mp main camera, an 8mp ultra-wide lens, and a 5mp telephoto macro lens.

Main Camera

The color style of the main camera is on the high contrast side. The contrast is higher than the realme GT Neo. Some scenes will look sharper, but the dynamic range is not as good. The probability of automatic HDR triggering is not high, but even if HDR is manually turned on, the dynamic range improvement is not much. When taking photos, be careful not to choose a scene that’s extremely bright. 

The Two times zoom sharpening is too heavy, the line will appear jagged. The performance at night is similar to that of the day, with the high contrast ratio causing the night scene to look a little underexposed. But the highlights are well controlled. The highlights are further depressed in night mode, and the exposure can be slightly improved in extreme darkness. But when there is plenty of light, lowering the highlights will make your eyes uncomfortable. Unless the light is very weak, it is not recommended to use night mode to take pictures.

Ultra-Wide Camera

The performance of the ultra-wide-angle lens is almost the same as the main camera, the main difference is that the hardware limitations lead to more serious underexposure of night photos. Check out a few groups of sample photos to get an idea.

Macro

The macro lens is the same as the one on the Redmi K40. I believe you are already very familiar with the strength of this telephoto macro lens. It can take some good close-up photos that the main camera and ultra-wide lens can’t take.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Battery Life & Charging

The box is still without the charger and charging cable. The charger and charging cable are still separately included. 33w charging power is also the standard configuration for the Xiaomi family of mid-range phones.

In 10 minutes it charged to 24%, after half an hour it got to 57%, and for full charge it needed 64 minutes. Generally speaking, the battery capacity of thin and light phones is not very large. It is shocking that Xiaomi still managed to put a 4250mAh battery into it, knowing that this is a 159g phone.

In our test, the phone consumed 6% for half-hour of Tiktok and 5% for half-hour of 1080P video. Two mainstream games “PUBG” and “Genshin Impact” consumed 9% and 16%, respectively. The high-load game “Brightridge” consumed 10%. This battery life level is now comparable to many 4500mAh phones. This battery on such a light phone should be its third highlight in this review.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Review: Verdict

To conclude, the Mi 11 Lite 5G is not a traditional Xiaomi phone. It doesn’t have strong hardware, and it isn’t priced very low either. In terms of hardware configuration, it doesn’t even give you as much value as the Redmi K40, which is cheaper.

But in the 5G era, it offers one of the few options for users who like to use light and thin phones. In fact, I would recommend you to go to an offline store and get your hands on this phone. Then you’ll understand its significance in Xiaomi’s lineup.

Tomorrow is Xiaomi’s big event and it plans to announce several products, one of which is the Mi 11 Lite/Mi 11 Youth. Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi has revealed the processor that will power the smartphone in addition to some other details.

In one of its Weibo posts promoting the phone, Xiaomi revealed that it will come with the spanking new Snapdragon 780 5G processor that was announced a few days ago. This means the Mi 11 Lite will be the first smartphone to be powered by the new chipset.

The Snapdragon 780G 5G processor is the first 5nm Snapdragon 700 series chipset. It has eight CPU cores arranged in a 1+3+4 core arrangement. The prime core and the three main cores are based on the Cortex-A78 while the remaining four cores are based on the Cortex-A55. The chipset also comes with the new Adreno 642 GPU, the Spectra 570 ISP that allows for simultaneous image capturing from three cameras, and a Snapdragon X53 modem that brings up to 3.3 Gbps download speeds.

Xiaomi has also disclosed that the Mi 11 Lite will be the lightest and thinnest Mi phone in history. Another teaser poster that was shared on the internet shows the size of the bezels of the phone.

The Mi 11 Lite will come with a flat display with a hole punch at the top left corner for the front-facing camera. The bezels on the side and at the top are said to be 1.88 millimeters thick while the bottom bezel is 2.75 millimeters.

The post Xiaomi confirms the Mi 11 Lite will be the first Snapdragon 780G phone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is hosting one of the biggest launch events of the year on March 29 in China / Global. The company is literally revealing multiple products including two flagships Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi Notebook Pro laptop, Mi Band 6, a Mi Mix device, a Wi-Fi router, and more. Add to this, now it has officially confirmed that Mi 11 Youth Edition will join the list probably as one of the thinnest 5g phones.

Xiaomi CC Product manager Wei has confirmed the news via a post on Weibo. The image shared on the post not only confirms the arrival of the device on the March 29 event at 19:30 local time but also the Mi 11 Youth Edition moniker.

Xiaomi is said to bring Mi 11 Lite 4G and 5G smartphones globally and out of this, the 5G version is likely to land in China as the Mi 11 Youth Edition. Qualcomm recently unveiled the 5nm Snapdragon 780 5G chipset and the Youth Edition is probably the first to feature it.

The 5G version with model number M2101K9C has already been spotted on several certifications including the TENAA. Images from the listing suggest that the device will be similar to the 4G model with vibrant color options.

And like Wei says, the Mi 11 Youth Edition will probably be one of the thinnest & lightest 5G phones with a thickness of just 6.81mm. The leaked unboxing video shows that the device might lacks a 3.5mm audio jack but has a microSD card slot.

The entire specifications and features of the device have already been leaked by Roland Quandt of Winfuture.de. You can read our coverage to know them.

Xiaomi has announced a new China & global launch event on March 29 and it is expected to unveil more Mi 11 series of devices including Mi 11 Lite 5G. Now, its images have been leaked on China’s TENAA.

A Xiaomi smartphone with model number M2101K9C believed to be the Mi 11 Lite 5G had appeared on TENAA a few days ago. It revealed a few specs of the device but we didn’t see the images back then. Now, they are life and it looks similar to the leaked renders.

Although the color listed on TENAA has a bit of gradient hue to it, the device is expected to launch in three other colors- Green, Yellow, and Black according to leaker Sudhanshu. Other than this, the images are the same and they have the popular camera layout of the Mi 11.

On the rear, we have Xiaomi and 5G logo confirming that it’s indeed the 5G variant. For the unaware, Xiaomi is expected to bring a 4G variant of the Mi 11 Lite to certain markets but both the variants are likely to share a majority of the specs like the really slim form factor of 6.81mm thickness.

1 of 4

Speaking of which, the Mi 11 Lite 5G measures at 160.53 x 75.72 x 6.81mm and has a 6.55-inch display that according to leaks would be a 10-bit AMOLED display. The display is also said to have an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

As for specs, the device said to come with an unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G SoC, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 4,250mAh battery with 33W charging, and MIUI 12 based on Android 11.

If the device were indeed to share specs from the 4G sibling, then it would have a triple-cameras on the back with a 64MP main lens, 8MP ultrawide, and a 5MP Telemacro lens. Additionally, the device could also have a Dual SIM support, and a MicroSD card slot, miss out on the 3.5mm jack.

Finally, the device could retail for starting price of €408.18 in Europe but pricing for China isn’t out yet. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G images appear on TENAA appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is in the news for a very long time. However, the company is yet to officially announce the launch date of this smartphone. This handset is expected to arrive in both 4G and 5G variants. We also know some of their specs, thanks to multiple certifications and leaks. Now, we get to see the design of this device for the first time via a leaked image.

Popular leaker Ishan Agarwal has partnered with 91Mobiles to share a press image of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. This single picture shows the smartphone’s front and rear design. It also reveals three colors.

Talking about the appearance first, the Mi 11 Lite will look similar to the Mi 11 in terms of rear camera placement. However, it will flaunt a flat display instead of a curved panel. This screen will also include a punch-hole located at the top left corner.

As far as colors are concerned, the Mi 11 Lite will be available in three colors, namely black, peach, and blue, as per the picture.

According to previous reports, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G will come with an unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G SoC, 6.55-inch display, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, MIUI 12, 64MP primary camera, 5x optical zoom camera, and 6.81mm thickness.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G variant is said to feature a 90Hz 10-bit color OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, 64MP triple camera setup, 4,250mAh battery, and 33W fast charging

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite design exposed via a leaked press image appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Mi 11 Lite wasn’t announced alongside the Mi 11 both at the Chinese launch event in December and the global launch event last week. Nevertheless, the phone is still coming and should arrive before the end of the first half of the year, hopefully, next month since. While we wait, a render of the phone has surfaced and it shows that Xiaomi is sticking to the same design as the standard Mi 11.

The Mi 10 Lite 5G and Mi 10 5G look nothing alike but that will not be the case with the Mi 11 Lite and Mi 11 if this render is to be believed. The two devices are so similar that if you were to turn them facedown, you won’t be able to tell them apart. Okay, that may be a stretch as size will most likely be one of the differences.

As seen in the render, the Mi 11 Lite has a flat display which many folks will appreciate. The display has a hole punch at the top left corner for the front-facing camera and there is a bit of bezel at the bottom.

On the back, the phone sports three cameras that are in a near-identical module as that of the Mi 11. You get two large sensors stacked on top of each other while the third camera which is significantly smaller is on the right with the LED flash.

The lack of a visible fingerprint scanner means that the phone has an in-display camera which confirms that the screen is AMOLED and not LCD as reported in some leaks. That should not be surprising seeing as the Mi 10 Lite 5G also has an AMOLED display.

The Mi 11 Lite should be a 5G smartphone like its predecessor which means that it will come with a processor with a 5G modem. The Mi 10 Lite 5G launched with a Snapdragon 765G processor which means we should get a better chipset for the Mi 11 Lite 5G.

While Qualcomm is yet to announce a true successor to the Snapdragon 765G, there is the Snapdragon 768G available. It is the only Snapdragon 700 series processor with Bluetooth 5.2 which the Mi 11 Lite has, so it makes sense that this may be the processor inside the phone unless Qualcomm announces a new Snapdragon 700 series chipset before the phone’s launch.
