Xiaomi’s Mi line of devices delivers the best of what the company has to offer in terms of software and hardware. Mi lineup comprises its budget Note series, premium and experimental Mix series, and the flagship numbered series. While the budget Note series and Max series are officially discontinued by the Chinese giant, the flagship numbered series is all over the internet throughout the year. I mean, Xiaomi has launched more than five models in the Mi 10 series altogether. Now, Xiaomi has officially launched it’s Mi 11 in the global market through a virtual event. For those unaware, the device was already launched in the home country in the month of December last year and is the first device to come with Snapdragon 888 SoC.
Xiaomi Mi 11 has a lot to offer and during the launch, this device is compared with iPhone 12 Pro a couple of times (typical Xiaomi). Mi 11 features a punch-hole display notch, just like the Mi 10 series. We believe that the next Mi numbered series device, which could either be Mi 12 or Mi 11 (Pro/Ultra) device could come with an in-display selfie camera. No more notches, yay! That said, Xiaomi did not cut any corners with the device and it comes with a 2K display. The device sports curved edges on four sides and offers up to 256 GB of onboard storage.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Price
On a couple of occasions, we’ve mentioned that — Xiaomi Mi numbered series of devices is world-famous as they bring all the latest hardware and software together in a form of premium offerings without putting a dent in your wallet. But seems like that story has changed now, the device is priced at EUR 749 (roughly 65,800 INR) for the base variant. The base variant comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard storage. The top variant comes with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB onboard storage that is priced at EUR 799 (roughly 70,100 INR). Yes, there is no 12 GB variant this time. Maybe the Chinese giant is saving it for Ultra variant of the Mi 11. It is worth noting that the Mi 11 in China comes in three variants, one of the variant comes with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB onboard storage. As for the colors, the device comes in Cloud While, Horizon Blue, and Midnight Grey color options.
