Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite Launch in India

Along with the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi recently introduced the Mi 11 Lite 5G, their latest mid-range smartphone in the Mi 11 series. The new smartphone, which was released in late March throughout the world, is a more inexpensive version of the Mi 11, which was released in December as a pinnacle Mi-series phone. Xiaomi decided not to release the Mi 11 in India, instead opting to release the Mi 11X series in April. The Mi 11 Lite is originally available in India in a 4G form, but Xiaomi India indicated during the online launch event that the firm aims to introduce the Mi 11 Lite in a 5G variant if there is enough demand. Is it strong enough to outperform its mid-tier competitors? Let’s check it out.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite Design

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite’s selling point is its ultra-thin design, which is said to be the world’s thinnest at 6.8mm and the lightest of all smartphones released in 2021 thus far, at only 157 grammes. Xiaomi modified the production process for the Mi 11 Lite in order to appeal to consumers as thin and light as possible. A “flat flexible OLED” and a revised circuit board that is 35% smaller than a typical smartphone printed circuit board are among the modifications.

In order to make the battery of the Mi 11 Lite small and light, Xiaomi used a chip-on-board technology and a single fold design. In addition, the mid-frame is made of a magnesium alloy material, which helps to minimise weight by up to 10 grammes. In addition, the smartphone is IP53-certified for dust and water protection and there is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.
