Last year’s Xiaomi Mi 10 is one of the “longest” digital series in Xiaomi’s history. By longest, we mean the series with more models. Now, there are reports that the Xiaomi Mi 11 series will also be a “long” series. In addition to the Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and probably Mi 11 Pro+, there will also be a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. According to reports, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite recently appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website. The model number of the smartphone indicates that it is for the global market.
This does not mean that this device will not arrive in China or India, it might just use another name. Looking at the renders of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite (Youth Edition), it will use the same design as the Xiaomi Mi 11. On the front, it has a punch-hole on the top left corner. However, its bezels are slightly thicker. On the rear, this device also uses a matrix camera module but with a triple camera setup. It retains the dual-curve rear design of the Xiaomi Mi 11 for a better grip.
