Xiaomi has confirmed to launch the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G in India. This smartphone is a newer version of the Mi 11 Lite 5G. It was announced alongside the Xiaomi 11T series last week. Ahead of this device’s debut in India, a tipster has revealed the details about the variant heading to the country.

According to Yogesh Brar, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G will be the first Xiaomi smartphone with the new ‘Xiaomi’ branding, which is obvious. As per him, the handset will be available in four colors and two configurations in the region.

Further, unlike the original Mi 11 Lite that launched in the country at the end of June, the newer 5G model will feature NFC for contactless payments via Google Pay and other supported applications. Like most recently Xiaomi phones, it will also come with Google Phone, Google Messages, and Google Duo.

Most importantly, the tipster claims that this handset will get 3 Android updates and 4 years of security patches. For those unaware, Xiaomi did not mention the longer software support during the global launch event last week.

The new software policy was thought to be exclusive to the Xiaomi 11T and the Xiaomi 11T Pro for now. But it does not appear to be the case. This means most mid-range and all the premium smartphones from Xiaomi will now most likely receive the same software treatment.

Last but not least, Yogesh says that the Xiaomi 11 Lite Ne 5G will be priced more than ₹22,000 in India. To know about the exact price, we will have to wait until September 29.
