Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G shows up in Italian stores, 5G version visits MIIT in China

Earlier today Xiaomi announced a major event on March 29 and the Mi 11 Lite is one of the phones expected to attend (along with the Mi 11 Ultra and Pro). However, Italy is a week ahead of everyone and a couple of local stores already list the Lite.

Tecnosell caught the error and has since removed all references to the phone. But nothing can truly be removed from the internet, so here are some official images of the phone. The store even had an unboxing video, but that has now been removed as well.

The 6/128 GB version was listed at €320. Note that this is for the 4G version of the phone, which is expected to feature a Snapdragon 732G chipset. Leakster Sudhanshu reports that the phone will have a 6.55” AMOLED display (1080p+, 90 Hz), a 4,250 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, NFC and a microSD slot, but no 3.5 mm headphone jack.

There is a 5G version as well (M2101K9C), this one powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 775G. The rest is fairly similar, based on details by MIIT – a 6.55” display, 4,150 mAh battery with the same 33W charger and a surprisingly slim build, the listed dimensions are 10.5 x 75.7 x 6.81 mm. The expected European price for this one is €410.

As leakster Roland Quandt points out, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite (4G) also appears on another Italian site, Subito, with stacks of boxes available. This appears to be an eBay style site, so prices vary a bit, but €330 is the most common.

Plenty of units available on Subito

The Mi 11 Lite 4G should have a more affordable 6/64 GB version, the 5G model will have options with 6 GB and 8 GB of RAM, both with 128 GB storage. The two will have different colorways available as well.
