MIUI 14 update is now available for two more devices in India. These phones are Xiaomi 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge.

For the unaware, the two smartphones are rebranded versions of the Chinese Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus. They are getting the latest MIUI software after the original models.

The MIUI 14 update for the Xiaomi 11i series in India also brings along Android 13. Thus, the device has now received two MIUI and Android updates each.

The update comes with build number V14.0.1.0.TKTINXM. As per Xiaomiui, it is currently only available for ‘Mi Pilot Testers’.

If this software build doesn’t have major issues, it will be pushed to a limited number of public users as ‘Stable Beta’. Later, it will be rolled out to all users gradually. In other words, the update should reach all units within the next few weeks.

The Xiaomi 11i and the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge debuted with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. They were updated to MIUI 13 and Android 12 last year.

We are not sure if these two phones will receive any further major software updates. But there’s a chance they will as newer Xiaomi smartphones are eligible for three Android updates. They may at least get access to a third MIUI update.

That said, users of the handsets can periodically head over to Settings to check whether their unit has got the latest OTA system update.

Xiaomi has rolled out the MIUI 13 update for the Xiaomi 11i and 11i HyperCharge in India. The Android 12-based MIUI 13 brings some user improvements to the MIUI 12.5E which came with the devices. The 11i and 11i HyperCharge were released in India back in January. A detailed changelog is not available for the new update but it offers an improved user experience.

The MIUI 13 update could precede a subsequent Android 12 OS upgrade for the two smartphones in the subcontinent. The Xiaomi 11i and 11i HyperCharge are basically the same models except for their different battery capacities and charging speeds. While the 11i comes with a 5,160mAh battery with 67W charging, the HyperCharge model packs 120W charging for its 4,500mAh battery. The 11i HyperCharge is slightly lighter than the 11i and also more expensive.

The Xiaomi 11i series was launched in China as the Redmi Note 11 series back in October 2021 but only recently made its way to India, where it apparently has been selling like hotcakes. Xiaomi India’s official Twitter handle today made a post saying that the series has managed to set a new record, selling more on the first day of the sale compared to Mi 10i in a week.

When we said #HyperchargeRevolution we meant it! Breaking all records we sold more on the 1st day of the sale compared to Mi 10i in a week.
Now wouldn't you call this a start to a revolution?#TheHyperphone #Xiaomi11TPro pic.twitter.com/HLZ4lA9PKO

— Xiaomi India | #Xiaomi11TPro (@XiaomiIndia) January 19, 2022

It’s quite a major feat considering the Mi 10i was an extremely popular device already, being one of the cheapest 5G offerings when it was launched. The phone had registered record-breaking sales of Rs 400 crore in just three weeks, and it now appears that the Xiaomi 11i series will be bringing in even more money.

Xiaomi equates the good figures to a ‘HyperCharge Revolution’, which is quite reasonable considering the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is currently one of the fastest charging phones on the Indian market right now. 120W fast charging support is no joke and is claimed to fill up the device’s 4,500mAh battery from 0% to 100% in only 15 minutes. Its more affordable sibling — the vanilla Xiaomi 11i — meanwhile comes with 67W Turbocharge support.

But it’s not the charging and the battery department that the Xiaomi 11i series shines, as the rest of the spec sheet is just as compelling for the price.

Under the hood, you get the fairly powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 chip. The display is an FHD+ 6.67-inch flat AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1200 nits peak brightness, and 360Hz touch sampling. For photography, you get a 108MP+8MP+2MP triple camera setup at the rear and a 16MP shooter up front.

The Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge starts at ₹26,999 while the standard Xiaomi 11i starts at ₹24,999 for the 6GB+128GB variants.

The post Xiaomi 11i series sets new sales record, sells more in a day than Mi 10i sold in a week appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi had lifted the curtains on the Redmi Note 11 series in China in October 2021. And given its compelling specs, it wasn’t surprising when the company managed to sell 500,000 units within an hour. While the devices are yet to make it globally, Indian users waiting to get their hands and on them will now finally be able to do so.

A product launch announcing the Xiaomi 11i 5G and Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge 5G was held on Thursday. While both come with nearly the same specifications, there is a key difference in their charging capabilities — just like the naming scheme implies. The Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge 5G supports the ultrafast 120W charging standard while the Xiaomi 11i opts for a less zealous 67W rating.

However, there is another major difference — the Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge features a 4500mAh battery, which is a tad smaller than the 5160mAh packed into the Xiaomi 11i. Also included are 34 charging and battery safety features, spanning the entire charging path from the charger to the circuit to the battery.

Other than this, you get MediaTek Dimensity 920 on both of the models, which in terms of benchmarks scores only around 30% lower than the flagship Dimensity 1200 chip. The display is a 6.67” 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED with a peak brightness of 1200nits. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. For audio, you get dual symmetrical stereo speakers with Dolby.

Moving on to the optics department, both the 11i and 11i Hypercharge again come with identical camera specifications with a triple camera setup at the rear. It is comprised of a 108MP (1/1.52″) primary shooter, complemented by an 8MP ultrawide angle lens and a 2MP macro lens. Upfront, there is a 16MP selfie camera with an aperture of f/2.45, housed within a centrally aligned punch hole.

Speaking of design, the Xiaomi 11i series adopts a boxier body with flat edges. The back panel is made of AG glass with a matte finish. Both phones have the same thickness at 8.3mm but the HyperCharge model is lighter at 204g than the vanilla model’s 207g. The bezels surrounding the screen are slim enough, although the chin does have a bit of a height. The fingerprint is present on the side and the 3.5mm headphone jack is retained.

Color options of the Xiaomi 11i series include Camo Green, Pacific Pearl, Purple Mist, and Stealth Black.

Xiaomi 11i is launched in two variants — 6GB+128GB at INR 24,999 and 8GB+128 GB at INR 26,999. Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge is launched in two variants — 6GB + 128GB at INR 26,999 and 8GB + 128GB at INR 28,999.

Both phones will be up for grabs through Mi.com, Flipkart.com, Mi Home, Mi Studio, and authorized retail partners starting January 12th.

Xiaomi is all set to launch a smartphone dubbed Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in India. The company has been teasing the features of the handset for the past few days. We have compiled all of them and more in this single article. Let’s check out what the latest phone from Xiaomi is all about.

Introduction

Although Xiaomi India teases Xiaomi 11i as a brand new smartphone, we all know that it isn’t. MIUI code had already revealed that this device is nothing but a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro+, which debuted in China at the end of October. 

For the unaware, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is almost identical to the Redmi Note 11 Pro. The only differences between the two are their battery capacity and charging speed. The Pro has a 5,160mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging as compared to a smaller 4,500mAh battery and a whopping 120W fast charging on the Pro+.

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge gets its name from its fast charging capability. Though MIUI code has confirmed the existence of vanilla Xiaomi 11i (Redmi Note 11 Pro) for India, we are not sure if it will make its way to the country alongside its bigger sibling on the same day.

Launch Date

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is set to launch in India on January 6, 2022. The event will kickstart at 12 PM IST. 

Interested readers can watch it on the company’s official YouTube channel. They can even keep updated with the event on the firm’s official Twitter handle.

Design

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge will feature a flat frame design like the newer iPhones. However, the frame will be of plastic instead of metal.

Further, It will have a matte glass panel on the rear. A giant rectangular camera module will sit on its top. But the number of lenses will be only three.

Finally, it will be available in four colors  – blue gradient, black, green, and purple. The official names of the first three colors are Pacific Pearl, Stealth Black, and Camo Green. The company is yet to reveal the name of the fourth hue as of writing this article.

Specifications

Since the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is a rebadged Redmi Note 11 Pro+, it should have the same set of specs.

The phone is expected to arrive with a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen supplied by Samsung Display. The panel will have a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), up to 120Hz refresh rate, up to 360Hz touch sampling rate, 1200 nits peak brightness, and  4,500,000:1 contrast ratio. The canvas will have support for the DCI-P3 color gamut and will sport a centered punch-hole.

The device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Though It is tipped to come in a single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration, we anticipate at least one more variant.

As far as optics are concerned, the smartphone will house a triple camera setup on the back comprising of a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and 2MP macro snapper. Whereas, on the front, it will feature a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

On the connectivity front, the handset will have support for dual-SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, and NFC (not confirmed). As for ports, it will sport a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

The device will include all the essential sensors like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, 360° ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, and infrared sensor. It will also have an x-axis linear vibration motor, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and a MicroSD card slot.

Unlike the newly released Xiaomi 12 series that comes with Android 12-based MIUI 13, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge will ship with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

Lastly, as mentioned earlier, the main highlight of this phone will be the support for 120W fast charging. The required charger will most likely be included in the retail box to fill up the handset’s dual-cell 4,500mAh battery in just 15 minutes.

Expected Price

Raghu Reddy, Chief Business Officer of Xiaomi India, has confirmed that the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge will be priced between ₹25,000 and ₹30,000.

At this price, it will be not only the first 120W fast-charging smartphone in India but also the most affordable fastest charging handset in the country.

Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge will be launching on Jan. 6 in India. The key specifications of the smartphone are now listed on its landing page available on Xiaomi India’s website. It will be one of the first phones to land in the country with the Dimensity 920 onboard. A report by India Today Tech has tipped the pricing of the device.

According to the publication, Xiaomi India’s Chief Business Officer, Raghu Reddy has confirmed to it that the 11i HyperCharge will be priced between Rs 25,000 (~$336) and Rs 30,000 (~$403). As it is known, one of the major highlights of the so-called ‘HyperCharge’ phone is that it will carry support for 120W fast charging.

The company has been claiming that the 11i HyperCharge can go from 0 to 100 percent in just 15 minutes. Reddy did not share any information on the specs of the device. However, it is being said that the 11i HyperCharge will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G phone that debuted in China back in October.

Past reports have revealed that the 11i HyperCharge will come in 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant only and it will come in two color such as Camo Green and Stealth Black. The device will be equipped with a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a punch-hole design, which will offer a 120Hz refresh rate. It may house a 4,500mAh battery.

For photography, it may feature a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. The vanilla Xiaomi 11i is likely to house a 5,160mAh battery with 67W fast charging supports. It other specs could be identical to the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge.

Xiaomi 11i Series is set to launch in India soon. Now, a company official has revealed that the upcoming lineup will be among the first smartphones in India to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset.

While we already know that the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to launch the 11i series of 5G smartphones in India in a few days, finer details regarding these devices were still at large. But now, a MySmartPrice report has revealed some interesting information about the upcoming handsets, which include the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge and a base 11i model as well. Raghu Reddy, Chief Business Officer of the company’s India unit told MySmartPrice that “The Xiaomi 11i is going to be the first, or among one of the first to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC.”

For those unaware, the Dimensity 920 SoC was announced back in August and has already been powering smartphones in China, although, this chip has yet to make its way to India.

The Redmi Smart Band Pro, which is an updated version of the last year’s Redmi Smart Band is likely to launch soon in India. In fact, it is being speculated that it may go official alongside the Redmi Note 11T 5G on Nov. 30. Xiaomi recently unveiled the Redmi Watch 2 Lite in global markets.

Last night, Redmi launched the Remi Note 11 series in China. The vanilla Redmi Note 11 is expected to launch as POCO M4 Pro 5G in international markets. Within hours after the announcement, a reliable tipster now reveals the marketing names of Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+ outside the brand’s home country.

According to MIUI tipster Kacper Skrzypek (@kacskrz), Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi 11 Pro+ in India under Xiaomi branding. He says that there are no other regional variants of these phones as of now. Hence, they will most likely remain exclusive to China and India.

As far as the names for India are concerned, Redmi Note 11 Pro will be called Xiaomi 11i, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ will release as Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge.

Additionally, in select global markets, these new Redmi handsets will be sold under their original marketing names.

This is not the first time Xiaomi has rebranded a Chinese Redmi Note for India. The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G from late 2020 is sold as Mi 10i 5G in the country.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ have an identical set of specifications. The only major differences between the two are battery size and fast charging capabilities.

The Pro comes with a 5,160mAh battery and 67W fast charging support. On the other hand, the Pro+ is backed by a smaller 4,5000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.

Xiaomi is yet to release the Xiaomi 11T Pro in India. Hence, the country does not have a 120W fast-charging smartphone. Now, as Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is set to debut in the region as Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge, it will be interesting to see which one will make entry first.
