Xiaomi has started sending out invites for the launch of its Mi 11 flagship smartphone globally, after it was introduced in China last month. It will also introduce the MIUI 12.5, the next MIUI update for the global markets on the same day. It is doubtful if we can see the Mi 11 Pro at the event since it is expected to be introduced in China first. However, we can expect the Mi 11 Lite which is rumoured to pack a Snapdragon 732G SoC or possibly a Mi 10 version called the Mi 10s with Snapdragon 870.
Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain today confirmed that the company will launch new phones powered by Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 in India soon, so we can expect the Mi 11 and possibly the Mi 10 SD 870 version here soon.
