Samsung and OnePlus are defeated! Xiaomi Mi 11X series hits India

Recently, Xiaomi has announced the availability of the Mi 11 Ultra and its new Mi 11X series in India. While the Mi 11 Ultra is the same product offered in other regions, the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro are Indian market exclusives.

The Mi 11X series is almost a carbon copy of the Redmi K40 line. This includes the elongated oval rear camera array with a punch hole selfie camera up front. Both Mi 11X series phones also pack flat 6.67-inch AMOLED displays with 2,400 x 1,080 resolution and refreshing at 120Hz. It’s slathered in Gorilla Glass 5, too. To power the display, there’s a 4,520mAh battery with 33W charging. Both phones also feature IP53 ratings.

There is a plenty of overlap between the Xiaomi Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro, this differences extend to the phones’ key specs.

Mi 11X Pro has a Snapdragon 888 SoC and a 108MP Samsung HM2 camera sensor as its two defining features.

Mi 11X accepts a Snapdragon 870 SoC. In spite of it’s not as feisty as the 888, it should still give the Mi 11X slightly better performance over last year’s flagship chipsets. A 48MP Sony IMX582 camera headlines the imaging hardware. 

Mi 11X is available in two RAM variants with 128GB storage. The 6GB option is priced at Rs 29,999 (~$400) while the 8GB option retails for Rs 31,999 (~$426). General sale begins on April 27.

Mi 11X Pro in 8GB/128GB is priced at Rs 39,999 (~$533), while the 8GB/256GB option costs Rs 41,999 (~$560). Preorders kick off on April 24.

Xiaomi’s undercutting the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S21 line and the OnePlus 9R in India. Whereas Mi 11X series isn’t really its flagship product line.
