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.

The Indian Xiaomi Mi 11X is finally receiving the Android 12-based MIUI 13 update in India a few days after the POCO F3 bagged it and over a month after the Redmi K40 did. The update also includes the February security patch.

The official changelog doesn’t mention much aside from improved system security and some optimizations for system apps and features. The MIUI 13 launch event for India hadn’t introduced any new features either aside from new wallpapers, proving the update is just another optimization-focused thing like MIUI 12.5 Enhanced was.

Anyway, the complete official changelog for the Xiaomi Mi 11X MIUI 13 update has been given below for your reference.

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 note here that the update is currently only being rolled out to Mi Pilot Testers in India, according to Xiaomiui. If all’s found well with it, then expect a wider rollout within a couple of weeks. Alternatively, you can attempt a manual installation after downloading the ROM zip via this link.

Xiaomi typically provides two Android version upgrades to its mid-range devices and the same can be expected for the Mi 11X too. With Android 12 now out, the device should receive its final Android version bump after Android 13 hits stable.

OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G just made its debut in the global market starting from India. The handset brings high-end specifications to the shelves at a modest price. But it is not the only amazing device in its price range. In the same segment, you can also get the flagship killer Xiaomi Mi 11X, packing a great hardware department and a complete specs sheet at a very affordable price. Which device has the best value for money between OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 11X? This comparison between their specifications will try to give you an idea.

OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 11X

Design

The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is the king of design. With its Reno Glow finish for its glass back, it appears a lot more gorgeous than the Xiaomi Mi 11X. Further, it has a curved display at the sides which makes it even more elegant. It is thin and lightweight: one of the most beautiful last-generation phones. With its flat display and more invasive cameras, the Xiaomi Mi 11X is less attractive, but it still comes with a glass back and the Gorilla Glass 6 protection by Corning.

Display

The display of the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G has a diagonal of 6.55 inches, the AMOLED technology, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. With the Xiaomi Mi 11X, you get a wider 6.67-inch diagonal and a higher 120 Hz refresh rate, but unfortunately, it lacks an in-display fingerprint reader and it is side-mounted in this case. On the paper, the Xiaomi Mi 11X looks superior, but we are yet to test these displays to give you a definitive verdict.

Specs & Software

With the Xiaomi Mi 11X, you actually get a superior chipset: the Snapdragon 870 by Qualcomm is stronger than the Dimensity 1200 by MediaTek. But the Dimensity 1200 is built with a better production process (6 nm) and, on the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, it is paired with more RAM: up to 12 GB. You can even get more internal storage with the latest OPPO flagship killer: up to 256 GB. Do you prefer having a better chipset or a better memory configuration? In the first case, you can get higher performance with single apps, while in the second case, you can get higher performance in multi-tasking. OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G runs Android 11 customized by ColorOS 11.3, while Xiaomi Mi 11X has Android 11 customized by MIUI 12.

Camera

The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is undoubtedly a superior camera phone to the Xiaomi Mi 11X. First of all, it has a better main sensor for the rear camera, with a higher 64 MP resolution and a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture. Further, it has a better front camera with a 32 MP resolution. So you can actually click better photos with the Reno6 Pro 5G, with both the rear setup and with the front camera. The Xiaomi Mi 11X is just an average camera phone, you can find a similar camera department on most of the lower-midrange phones out there. The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G offers something more than a simple mid-ranger.

Battery

OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 11X have similar battery capacities: 4500 mAh and 4520 mAh, respectively. The battery life is similar in a lot of scenarios and you should not focus on it too much because the differences are marginal. But with the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, you actually get a faster charging technology with a power of 65W.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 11X in the Indian market is Rs. 29,999 for the configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage, while OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G costs Rs. 39,999 in the 8/128 GB configuration. At the end of the day, OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is a superior phone and it wins this comparison. It has a better camera department, a better design, and even a faster charging technology. But with the Xiaomi Mi 11X, you can save a lot of money while still getting a good flagship killer.

Xiaomi‘s efforts over the years in trying to ramp up sales have continued to gain traction. Not only is the brand the numberone in the smartphone and TV segment in India, it is also one of the leading brand in China. A recent research shows that the company is also the leading name in the second-hand smartphone market in China. The Chinese tech giant has again added another feature to its cap with an impress run in India’s premium smartphone market.

The company recently amplified this information but the research which revealed the progress in this segment was carried out by market research firm Counterpoint. The stats is contained in Counterpoint’s May 2021 market tracker. According to the report, Xiaomi cornered about 14% share of the market in the 20K-45K category. This places the company in a good pedestal as one of the leading and fastest-growing premium smartphone brands.

Xiaomi’s drive to enter into the premium phone segment, began with the Mi 10 series. The drive was continued with the latest crop of premium smartphones such as Mi 10i, Mi 11X, and Mi 11X Pro which have been released in India. It should be noted that the brand went from just 3% market share in the premium segment as at October 2020 to ~14% in May 2021, representing a massive growth.

The growth of Mi India in the premium segment is a reflection of th econfidentce that the brand commands presently, which in turn is the product of the brand’s assiduous effort in churning out cost-effective and drable products.

Xiaomi India’s head, Manu Kumar Jain, commenting on the success of the Mi smartphones in the premium segment stated that; “With Mi, we have focused on bringing breakthrough technologies and setting newer benchmarks for mobile innovation. With the launch of the Mi 10 and Mi 11 series in the market, we have empowered our users with a premium experience, on the back of superior design, best in class features and functionality. It is because of the trust of our consumers and Mi Fans that we have been able to reduce the gap with one of the leading premium smartphone brands. While these are early growth numbers, we are overwhelmed to see consumers upgrading to premium devices under the Mi portfolio. As we continue to grow in the market, we will look at bringing more powerful devices, and work towards making Mi a premium aspirational brand in India.”

The company’s drive in the premium segment this year began with the Mi 10i which emerged as the brand’s best-selling 5G device under 25K. The Mi 11X series was also released, registering business worth INR 300 crore in just 45 days of launch. To further ramp its share in this segment, Xiaomi will be releasing the Mi 11 Ultra flagship in India today. The premium smartphone will be available exclusively on Mi.com and Mi Homes.

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?

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.
