This coming Wednesday afternoon, Xiaomi will officially introduce its new mid-range smartphone in India. In addition to being unveiled in the country via an online event, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G was launched in the rest of the world earlier this month as well. It is expected that the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G would be an improvement on the Mi 11 Lite, which was released earlier this year. It is equipped with a 5G connection, as implied by the name of the device. Xiaomi had announced the Mi 11 Lite in both 4G and 5G variants in March, however only the 4G variant was made available in India at the time of launch.
Also noteworthy is that this would be Xiaomi’s debut smartphone in India since abandoning the Mi moniker. The new smartphone shares many of the same features as the Mi 11 Lite, but it is powered by a different Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G system-on-chip (SoC).
