Mi 11 Lite 5G Expected To Arrive Soon In India; Mi 11 Lite 4G Will Continue Selling

Update: Xiaomi has informed us that the Mi Lite 4G continues to be on sale across all platforms, including Flipkart and Mi.com. The company also states ''whenever 5G rolls out or if we get enough demand from the market for the 5G variant, we will be happy to launch it in India, without discounting the other model.''

Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 Lite 4G model back in June in India. The smartphone comes as the slimmest and lightest phone in 2021, measuring just 6.8mm in thickness and weighing only 157 grams. Besides, the phone is packed with all decent features apart from the 5G connectivity. Just a month after its launch, it seems the brand might discontinue the Mi 11 Lite 4G to bring the 5G version of the Mi 11 Lite in the country.
