To note, the SD 732G SoC is a 4G-only model, which would drastically drop the price of the smartphone. The chipset is said to be paired with 6GB RAM and up to 128GB default storage. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite would run Android 11, just like the flagship model. Other details speculated to include a 4,150 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

The upcoming phone is also said to feature a 120Hz refresh rate for the LCD screen. However, the screen dimensions are under wraps for now. The listings have also confirmed Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi-Fi support for the Mi 11 Lite.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite In India

The Indian market is booming with several flagship smartphones. However, there's an even bigger market for Lite devices as they are pocket-friendly. If the Vietnamese YouTuber's speculations are to be believed, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite would cost around VND 75,00,000-80,00,000 (around Rs. 23,000-25,000). This price tag would attract a lot of buyers in India.
