Xiaomi made a lot of buzz after announcing the HyperOS update. Now it is not limited to this and continues to release the new update for more devices. Xiaomi Mi 11X and 11X Pro are among the devices that received the HyperOS update. Basically, these two smartphones are rebranded versions of the Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro. The Redmi K40, sold as POCO F3 in the global market, is sold as Mi 11X in India.

Xiaomi Mi 11X ve 11X Pro HyperOS update

Xiaomi Mi 11X and 11X Pro have received the HyperOS update with build numbers OS1.0.1.0.TKHINXM and OS1.0.1.0.UKKINXM. The Mi 11X received HyperOS based on Android 13, while the Mi 11X Pro received the HyperOS update based on Android 14. The reason behind this lies in the processor difference. The Mi 11X has the Snapdragon 870, but the 11X Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. The SD 888 is a more up-to-date chip, which helps to be eligible for the Android 14 update. We advise Mi 11X users not to worry, though. Because HyperOS optimizations are included in the new update.

Xiaomi Mi 11X receives the March 2024 security patch while Mi 11X Pro receives the April 2024 security patch. The update to the Mi 11X is 1.6GB in size, while the Pro model has received the latest Android 14 version with the new update which has a large size of 4.8GB. These are the last major updates for these devices, so you may need to use Custom ROM in the future.

Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro has received a limited-time price cut in India. The smartphone debuted in April last year with flagship-level specifications. The price cut is on Amazon India and only on the base 8GB + 128GB RAM and storage variant of the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro. Apart from the price drop, there is also an exchange discount on old smartphones that further brings down the price of the smartphone.

The Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro carries a regular price tag of Rs 39,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB model. On Amazon, it is currently available for Rs 31,999 which means that the smartphone is discounted by Rs 8,000. 

Additionally, interested buyers can also exchange their old smartphones for the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro. Based on the value of the customer’s old device, they can get up to Rs 17,750 off. This means that there’s a possibility that the  Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro could be availed at as low as Rs 14,250 price tag. 

Mi 11X Pro specifications and features

The Mi 11X Pro boasts a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED E4 display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,300 nits peak brightness, and HDR10+ support. There is a 20MP front-facing selfie snapper whereas the rear camera setup consists of a 108MP main lens, 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP macro unit. 

The Mi 11X Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor paired with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It is backed by a 4,520mAh battery unit with support for 33W fast charging. The smartphone is also equipped with a liquid cooling system, X-Axis motor, and Dolby Atmos-powered speakers.

Xiaomi has started seeding MIUI 13 based on Android 12 to the Mi 11X Pro in India. It is currently limited to Mi Pilot Testers but should be rolled out widely once found bug-free.

The Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro was launched in April 2021 as a flagship-killer of sorts, coming with near top-of-the-line specs. Performance appears to be its main focus, and as such, it features the Snapdragon 888 chip, which was last year’s top performer in the Android camp.

The device first booted into Android 11, meaning it should be eligible for two Android upgrades. One of these has been delivered with firmware 13.0.1.0.SKKINXM, now rolling out in India (via Xiaomiui). Its complete official changelog has been given below.

System

• ‌Stable MIUI based on Android 12
• ‌Updated Android Security Patch to February 2022. Increased system security.

More features and improvements

• ‌New: Apps can be opened as floating windows directly from the sidebar
• ‌Optimization: Enhanced accessibility support for Phone, Clock, and Weather
• ‌Optimization: Mind map nodes are more convenient and intuitive now

Do keep in mind that the update is currently a Mi Pilot Tester-exclusive, so you’ll not be getting it as of now unless you’re part of the testing program. Still, it should be rolled out widely soon enough since pilot builds are a prelude to stable releases.

Alternatively, you can try a manual flash of the build if you’re bold enough after downloading it through this link.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro receives MIUI 13 update based on Android 12 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi launched the Mi 11X in India on April 23. That makes it 48 days today since the premium flagship smartphone was released. Apparently, the smartphone has been a major hit among fans as the company has come out to celebrate raking sales worth over Rs. 300 crores (about $41 million) since the series went on sale.

The Mi 11 series is made up of the Mi 11 and the Mi 11 Pro. The company didn’t reveal the number of units that were sold but since the Mi 11 is cheaper, we expect the company has sold more units of the 11 than the 11 Pro. The sales record is reminiscent of the record sales of the Mi 10i 5G.  Earlier this year, the company announced that it sold Mi 10i 5G units valued at an estimated Rs. 400 crore ($54 million) in three weeks of launch.

The two models are 5G phones but utilize different camera sensors. While the Mi 11X is powered by a Snapdragon 870 processor, the Mi 11X Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset. Both models feature a 6.67-inch E4 AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. The phone also comes with support for a 120Hz refresh rate, MEMC, Stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, and Audio Zoom for video.

The Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro with a starting price of Rs. 29,999 (~$410) for the vanilla model are still up for grabs in India via Amazon.in, Mi.com, and Mi home stores. The decent price point and top-notch specs lineup may have contributed to the huge sales.

The post Xiaomi India celebrates selling Mi 11X units worth $41 million in 45 days of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Xiaomi launched in India the brand new Mi 11X series composed of two variants: Xiaomi Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro. They are not entirely new devices, but they are rebrands of handsets present in other markets. In the European market, the Xiaomi Mi 11X is available under the POCO brand and it comes with the POCO F3 moniker. Instead, the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro in the European market is called Xiaomi Mi 11i. This comparison will help you understand the differences between the specifications of the latest Indian flagship killers released by Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Mi 11X vs Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro

Design

There are no aesthetic differences between Xiaomi Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro. They come with exactly the same dimensions and the same weight. They have the same flat punch-hole display with narrow bezels and the same camera design, as well as the same side-mounted fingerprint reader. They are not built with the most premium materials, but they have a good build quality. The phones include a dual SIM slot with 5G connectivity and an IR blaster on the upper part which allows using them as TV remotes, but they do not feature an audio jack, nor a micro SD slot.

Display

Even the displays of the Xiaomi Mi 11X and the Mi 11X Pro are the same. And we are talking about a very good panel. It is a display with 6.67-inch diagonal showing images with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display supports refresh rates up to 120 Hz and the HDR10+ certification which improves the image quality on streaming services. The phones also come with a very high 1300 nit peak brightness. Unfortunately, as already mentioned, you do not get an in-display fingerprint reader but a side-mounted one. Both the phones feature powerful stereo speakers with the earpiece doubling as a secondary speaker.

Specs & Software

Alongside the main camera, the main difference between Xiaomi Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro is the processor. The former is equipped with a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, while the latter has a stronger Snapdragon 888 chipset that is actually the best SoC by Qualcomm. However, both the chipsets are flagship-class, so you should not notice any difference unless you play the most advanced games out there. Note that you can get up to 256 GB of internal storage with the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro, while Xiaomi Mi 11X has just 128 GB. The phones are based on Android 11, customized by MIUI 12.

Camera

None of these devices is a true camera phone, but the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro is definitely above-average when it comes to the cameras. The main reason is the presence of a great 108 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture which allows 8K video recording. Unfortunately, you do not get OIS unlike most of the flagships with 108 MP cameras, but this phone is still able to capture images with rich details. The Xiaomi Mi 11X has a pretty disappointing (for a flagship) 48 MP main camera. In both cases, you get an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 20 MP front snapper.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11X and the Mi 11X Pro also come with the same battery sporting a capacity of 4520 mAh. They are not battery phones, but their battery life is satisfying. You can charge the phones through a USB-C port supporting a 33W fast charging technology, but no wireless charging, unlike the vanilla Mi 11.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 11X in India is Rs. 29,999, while the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro starts from Rs. 39,999. In Europe, the POCO F3 (rebrand of the Mi 11X) is priced at €369, while the Xiaomi Mi 11i (rebrand of the Mi 11X Pro) is priced at €649. Essentially, the Pro variant offers a better main camera with a 108 MP resolution and a better chipset, as well as more internal storage in the most expensive configuration. For the rest, these devices have pretty much the same specifications. Now that you learned all the differences, which one would you pick?

Despite the issues with the supply of chipsets caused by the pandemic, several Chinese flagships hitten the market this year. Even ZTE came up with a new flagship series: the most advanced model of its latest lineup is the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. It is not one of the most expensive flagships out there, but despite that, it still provides amazing specifications and top-notch cameras. In this comparison, we will help you to understand whether or not it delivers a value for money as high as the Realme GT 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro which are the latest Realme and Xiaomi flagships powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G vs Realme GT 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro

Design

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G is definitely the handset with the most attractive design: the reason is the front panel. It is the only one to come with a curved edge-to-edge display; further, it has a higher screen-to-body ratio thanks to narrower bezels. Right after, we got the amazing leather color variant of the Realme GT 5G which features a very original design and is the most compact device of the trio. But you should not underestimate the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro which comes with the thinnest body.

Display

The best display of this comparison belongs to the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. It is a 6.67-inch panel with the AMOLED technology, one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, a Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. With the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro you get a HDR10+ display too, but it does not show one billion colors and the refresh rate is lower: just 120 Hz. Further, unlike its rivals, it does not offer an in-display fingerprint reader (the biometric sensor is side-mounted). The Realme GT 5G has a 120 Hz AMOLED panel as well.

Hardware/Software

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, Realme GT 5G and Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro are all powered by the awesome Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, actually the best chipset released by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage in each case, but you can get something more with the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. The latest ZTE flagship offers up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage: the best memory configuration you can get on a phone if we exclude the latest Asus ROG Phone Ultimate. All the phones are based on Android 11.

Camera

The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra wins the camera comparison thanks to a stunning camera setup which can compete with the best camera phones out there. It has a quad camera setup composed of three 64 MP sensors and an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. You also get an ultrawide sensor, laser autofocus and dual OIS. The silver medal goes to the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro sporting a 108 MP main camera which supports 8K video recording.

Battery

These three phones come with similar battery capacities and there should be only marginal differences when it comes to the battery life. Note that the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro has slower charging speeds.

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G vs Realme GT 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro: Price

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra starts from about €600/$728 (China), Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro is priced €442/$536, and Realme GT costs €395/$480 in its base variant. On the paper, the winner of the comparison is the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra due to its great display and better cameras, but Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro and Realme GT offer a higher value for money thanks to their affordable prices.

Xiaomi has already confirmed the impending launch of the premium Mi 11 Ultra smartphone in India billed to take place on April 23. The Chinese tech giant has now confirmed that it will launch a new ‘X’ Flagship series in India on the same date.

The company didn’t reveal the exact name of the models under the X series but it did tease that the series will offer Xtreme performance, feature Xceptional Display, and Xquisite design. Also, the phones are said to have been customized for India.

Going by previous rumors and confirmation by the Mi India marketing head, the smartphones belong to the Mi 11 series. The models include the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro. The models are said to be rebadged Redmi K40/ POCO F3 and Redmi K40 Pro+/Mi 11i respectively.

The models are expected to be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset and this falls in line with a recent hint by Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain that the company will launch several phones with Snapdragon 888 in India. The vanilla Mi 11 is also expected to complete the quartet of smartphones that will be launched on that day.

Apart from smartphones, Xiaomi will also release the Mi Band 6 which will launch as Mi Smart Band 6. The Mi Watch Lite is expected to also launch during the same event. This is yet to be confirmed but we expect an official teaser to be released in that regard anytime from now.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11X series officially teased to launch in india on April 23 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi launched the Redmi K40 series in China. Rumours soon emerged not long after the launch that the models will launch in the global market under the POCO brand. However, that speculation was soon squashed by a senior member of the XDA Forum, kacskrz who discovered evidence, by way of code snippets, that the devices will launch in India and elsewhere under the ‘Mi’ branding.

The tipster has now spotted more evidence which gives a clearer picture of the models Xiaomi may release for the global market. The new evidence suggests that the Mi 11X Pro which will likely be launched alongside the Mi 11X will arrive as the Redmi K40 Pro+ which was launched as the topmost variant in China. That is an indication that the Redmi K40 Pro which bears the cidemname “haydn” may not be launched outside China.

One more proff that #RedmiK40ProPlus is indeed Mi 11i for Global and Mi 11X Pro for India. pic.twitter.com/6k3Wg7dyVU

— Kacper Skrzypek (@kacskrz) March 15, 2021

The screenshot which he shared shows that the Mi 11X Pro will go by the codename “haydnin pro”. This is an indication that it will be a rebadged Redmi K40 Pro Plus which has the codename “haydn pro”. As per the tweet, the device will also launch in other markets apart from India but will bear the moniker Mi 11i. On its part, the global variant adopts the codename “haydn pro global.”

The earlier code snippet shared by the tipster contained a Xiaomi device listed as ‘Mi 11X‘ and with the model number M2012K11AI. The device bears the codename ‘aliothin’ which is similar to the codename of the Redmi K40 – “alioth”. The “in” surfix added to it is what has fuelled speculations that the Mi 11X is a rebranded Redmi K40.

We expect more details to emerge as time goes on.
