Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro May Launch in India on April 23
The Mi 11 series will launch in India on April 23, Xiaomi Global Vice President Manu Kumar Jain shared on Twitter. The Mi 11 Ultra was the only phone to be launched in India on April 23 before, but it seems that several Mi 11 series phones will be launching at the same time. The Mi 11 series debuted in China in December last year with the Vanilla Mi 11, which was later launched globally on February 8. At the end of last month, the Mi 11 Ultra and two more phones from the Mi 11 series were launched in China.
Jain cheep Posted with a Mi 11 series teaser video talks about some of the features of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and goes on to say that “not 1 but many Mi phones” with the SoC will be launched in India. It also says that the Mi 11 series will launch in India on April 23, which was previously announced as the launch date for the Mi 11 Ultra.
There are five phones in the Mi 11 series, of which the Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, and Mi 11i are powered by Snapdragon 888 SoC. As of now, it is unclear which of these four phones will launch in India or if all five models, including the MI 11 Lite, will be available. The Mi 11 Lite is the only phone in the series that is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G SoC. It is also the cheapest Mi 11 series phone.
For now, only the Mi 11 Ultra is confirmed to launch in the country on April 23. It features a 6.81-inch primary AMOLED 2K WQHD + E4 AMOLED quad-curve display and a 1.1-inch secondary AMOLED display on the back. Its always-on display on the back is said to be the same as the one on the Mi Smart Band 5. Earlier this month, the Mi 11 Ultra was reported to have a starting price of more than Rs. 70,000 when it launches in India.
In China, the Mi 11 Ultra was launched with a starting price of CNY 5,999 (roughly Rs. 67,000) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration. It also comes in a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage option at CNY 6,499 (roughly Rs. 72,600) and the top-of-the-line 12GB RAM + 512GB storage model at CNY 6,999 (roughly Rs. 78,200).
