Xiaomi's Mi 11 flagship series debuts in Pakistan today, starting with the Mi 11 Lite. The phone is now available offline, in some retail shops and will also be available in online stores from 6 PM onwards. With each online purchase, Xiaomi is throwing in a Mi Ionic Hair Dryer for free. Not to mention a three-year warranty powered by Smartlink Technologies.
The company's budget phones are rarely built with an express priority on a lightweight footprint, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is a welcome exception. At 6.81mm of depth and a weight of only 157g, the Mi 11 Lite is both the thinnest and lightest phone in Xiaomi’s catalog.
If these features are a dealbreaker for you, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a phone with slimmer dimensions. Despite its featherweight build, the Mi 11 Lite packs a decently-sized 4250 mAh battery that quick-charges over 33W.
The new Xiaomi mobile powers the 8nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chip at the heart of the phone. There’s also a 5G variant, but the two phones differ only in their chipsets. You get the latest Android11 build of the MIUI 12, 6GB of memory, and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
The Mi 11 Lite screen may not feature the razor-thin bezels that its far more expensive siblings do, but it’s even all around. We’re looking at a 6.5” AMOLED panel with a hole-punch in the corner and Gorilla Glass 5 on top. It produces a full HD resolution at a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and peaks at 800 nits of brightness.
There’s a side-facing fingerprint scanner integrated into the shell that comes in Black, Peach Pink, and Bubblegum Blue colorways. It also includes NFC support, an IR blaster, and dual stereo speakers. The 3.5mm headphone jack has been left out of the Mi 11 Lite, however.
Lastly, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite has a triple-camera setup on the back, featuring a 64MP f/1.8 primary wide lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro sensor with autofocus support. Out on the front, you’ll find a narrow 16MP selfie camera. It starts from Rs. 43,999 and is now available in some offline stores, however, the online sale will start today at 6:00 PM.
