Xiaomi has released its Mi 11 flagship smartphone in Mainland China. This is the first smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm's newly announced Snapdragon 888 processor and features a 2K Amoled display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 108MP 8K main camera and dual speakers with sound by Harman Kardon. It uses Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Smart Proximity Sensor Inner Beauty. The phone, with an 8.06mm slim and light body, starts at CNY 3,999 and will be available for pre-order in official sales channels from 28 December.
The M11 features the Arm Cortex-X1 core and the latest Qualcomm Adreno 660 GPU, delivering up to 35 percent faster graphics rendering compared to the previous generation, the company said. On AI, the new sixth-generation Qualcomm AI engine features a Hexagon 780 processor and delivers a combined 26 TOPS, a 73 percent increase versus the previous generation. In terms of storage, the device comes with LPDDR5 at 3200MHz, UFS 3.1, and VC LiquidCool Technology.
The 5G smartphone comes with a 4,600 mAh battery with Mi TurboCharge 55W wired flash charging for a full charge in 45 minutes. With the 50W wireless charging, the device is fully charged in 53 minutes, Xiaomi said, and the phone also offers 10W reverse charging to power other devices. With environmental protection in mind, Xiaomi is not supplying a charger with the standard box of the Mi 11.
