The Xiaomi Mi 11 could land alongside three siblings and maybe also a surprise.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 is getting globally launched on February 8, but it almost certainly won’t land alone. In fact, we’ve heard rumblings of at least three other devices that we might see alongside it. Below, we’ll run you through all of them, from the basic Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite, to the super-premium Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, and we’ll also consider what else we might – or might not – see. In the case of the Xiaomi Mi 11 itself we already know exactly what to expect, as the phone has already been unveiled in China – this new launch is just for its wider availability, but it landed alone in China, while on February 8 we’re expecting it to have some company. There’s no real mystery surrounding the Xiaomi Mi 11. It’s already been unveiled in China and it’s the one device that we know for sure will be shown off on February 8. That also perhaps makes it less exciting than some of the devices on this list, but it has a decent assortment of specs and there are still some questions that need answering – most notably how much it will cost. The specs include a top-end Snapdragon 888 chipset,8GB or 12GB of RAM, a 6.81-inch curved 1440 x 3200 AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 4,600mAh battery with 55W charging (or 50W if wireless), and a triple-lens camera with a 108MP main one, a 13MP ultra-wide one, and a 5MP macro one. So in other words this is a high-end phone, which in terms of specs could rival the Samsung Galaxy S21 or even the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus. And it might well undercut those phones too, given that it starts at CNY 3,999 (around $610, £450, AU$800) in China.
