After releasing quite a lot of models in the Mi 10 lineup, looks like Xiaomi is done with the series. The Chinese giant is expected to launch its flagship Mi 11 series on December 29. While the launch date is not confirmed yet, the device is expected to make its debut as the first phone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. By this time now, we pretty much know what Xiaomi is hiding under its sleeve with the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. The devices from the upcoming flagship series have remained an active part of the rumor mill for quite some time now. Now, the Mi 11 has appeared on the Geekbench revealing some of its specifications.
The Mi 11 is listed on the benchmarking platform with the model number Xiaomi M2011K2C. It is worth noting that this is the same model number that is listed on 3C and China’s network certification website. The device runs Android 11 out of the box which is going to be based on Xiaomi’s own MIUI 12. The device is powered by a processor that is codenamed ARM venus which is Snapdragon 888 coupled with Adreno 660 GPU. The device comes with 12 GB of RAM and of course, the device will come in different RAM and storage configurations. Geekbench listing did not reveal much except for the aforementioned information.
It is worth noting that the high-end variant of the Mi 11 will likely come with 512 GB of storage onboard. A few leaks and rumors suggest that the high-end variant will feature a Samsung 2K AMOLED display with support for a 120 Hz display refresh rate. The high-end variant comes with 120W fast charging whereas the base variant might only come with 55W fast charging.
Xiaomi Mi 11 is expected to come with a 6.7 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3040 pixels. The aspect ratio of the display is 20:9 and the device comes with a punch-hole display notch. While a lot of tech enthusiasts expected the device to come with an under-display front-facing camera, the recently leaked Mi 11 tempered glass suggests otherwise. Just like with the Mi 10 series, the punch-hole display notch is found on the top right corner of the display. The pixel density of the device is 502 PPI. Under the hood, the device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC as mentioned earlier, and comes with 8 GB or 12 GB RAM options. Adreno 660 handles the graphic duties here.
As for the optics, the device is rumored to come with a triple rear camera setup. The primary sensor here is a 108 MP unit. The secondary is a 13 MP ultra-wide camera unit. The third unit is not worth discussing! The rear cameras are stacked inside a squircle housing with a unique design pattern. On the front, there is a single 32 MP shooter. The device runs Android 11 out of the box with MIUI 12 skin on top and all this is backed by a 4780 mAh battery with either a 55W fast charging or 120W ultra-fast charging.
