New Xiaomi Mi 11i. Where Is It Located in the Brand’s Catalog?

Xiaomi has expanded its Mi 11 range today not with one or two, but -for now- with up to 4 new phones. In addition to the Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra, the brand has allowed us to take a look at the official characteristics and the price of the Xiaomi Mi 11i, practically the same device as the Redmi K40 Pro + previously presented in China.

The phone has a lot in common, for this reason, with the Poco F3 presented a few days ago, showing that Xiaomi has no other intention right now than to flood the market with extremely similar devices that, in the eyes of the less specialized user, seem of different brands.

This is what the new Xiaomi Mi 11i looks like

The new Xiaomi Mi 11i is made with a plastic frame and a Gorilla Glass 5 glass front. The phone is also IP53 certified and is only 7.8 millimeters thick. Xiaomi will allow you to buy the new Mi 11i in three color versions, black, white and silver.

The new high-end could be considered as a Mi 11 but cheaper and with some specifications, not too many, cut. In fact, we find great specifications on the phone’s datasheet such as a large 6.67-inch E4 AMOLED panel made by Samsung with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a touch sensitivity of 360 Hz. The screen also has a maximum brightness of 1300 nits, Full HD + resolution and the usual hole punched in the upper part to accommodate its front camera.

Under the screen we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, a CPU manufactured in 5 nanometers that is accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. So we have the same power, on paper, as at the top of the family range.

The photographic section is also quite similar to the Mi 11 model presented in December. The Xiaomi Mi 11i offers a 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 5-megapixel remote control camera. The phone also has a 20 megapixel front camera and supports 8K 30 FPS video recording. The ability to zoom audio is still present on the phone as well as many other Xiaomi-specific camera functions.

The battery life should reach 24 hours without major problems as the phone has a 4520 milliamp cell inside that supports a 33-watt fast wired charge. According to the firm, the battery will be fully charged in 52 minutes.

Like other models presented today by the eastern manufacturer, the Xiaomi Mi 11i also have stereo audio, compatibility with Dolby Atmos, Android 11 and a fingerprint reader that happens to be located on the side. The mobile is compatible with 5G networks and Wi-Fi 6.
