When Xiaomi announced the Mi 11 late last year, the lack of alternative models was a bit underwhelming considering that the Mi 10 series featured three distinct phones in the lineup. As it seems, Xiaomi held on to the rest of the Mi 11 series until now, revealing five new phones covering nearly every market segment. The event started with the Mi 11 Pro (pictured above), which Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun labeled it as the “King of Android.” Protected using Gorilla Glass Victus, the 6.81-inch curved AMOLED screen sports a WQHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It also features Dolby Vision and a pre-applied screen protector. For photography enthusiasts, this smartphone has a 20MP selfie camera, and three rear cameras on the back: an 8MP, a 13MP, and a 50MP Samsung GN2 (first device using it). The Mi 11 Pro will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 cooled through a 150mm vapor chamber and powered by a 5,000Mah battery. As expected, the phone is powered by MIUI 12.5 which is based on Android 11. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will be available starting April 2, priced at 4,999 yuan ($762) for the 8GB RAM/128GB model. The 256GB version will come at 5,299 yuan ($807), while the 12GB RAM/256GB model will go for 5,699 yuan ($868). There’s a flagship device on top of the Pro, called the Mi 11 Ultra, featuring Xiaomi’s “most powerful pro-grade triple camera setup.” Like the Mi 11 Pro, it’s got a 6.81-inch 120Hz WQHD+ AMOLED curved display and a pair of stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon.
