In the first half of this year, Xiaomi launched 4 models in the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. This flagship series have the Xiaomi Mi 11, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite (Youth Edition). The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is a thin and light model and it is the only model in the Xiaomi Mi 11 series that is mid-range. However, these four devices will not be the only models in the Mi 11 series. As we enter the second half of the year, the company will release another thin and light model. This smartphone will be the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE.
According to the latest report, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE now has NBTC certification. This means that this mid-range smartphone will arrive soon outside China. Obviously, from the nomenclature of this device, it is a derivative of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. Thus, we expect this smartphone to retain the thin and light focus of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite.
Most likely, this device will not be very much different from the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. There are speculations that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE will come with a 90Hz refresh rate OLED full screen. Under the hood, this smartphone will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series processors (probably the Snapdragon 780G, or Snapdragon 778G chip). It is worth nothing that a Xiaomi smartphone (Chinese model) with Snapdragon 778G chip recently obtained a network access license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. To get an idea of what the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE will offer, take a look at the specs of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite below
