Xiaomi Mi 11 series: Here's everything you need to know about Xiaomi's 2021 flagship lineup!
Here's everything we know about Xiaomi's flagship devices for 2021 — the Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 4G, Mi 11 Lite 5G, and the Mi 11i.
A day before Qualcomm officially unveiled the Snapdragon 888, the company partially detailed the flagship SoC and confirmed the names of 14 OEMs who would launch devices with the new processor. Xiaomi was one of the manufacturers on the list, and the company teased the Mi 11 just a day after Qualcomm's launch event. A few weeks down the line, the Chinese OEM revealed it would launch the Mi 11 before the end of the year, making it the first device to feature Qualcomm's latest flagship chip. As promised, Xiaomi lifted the covers off the Mi 11 in China on December 28th, giving us our first look at its design, specifications, and unique features. A few months after launching the vanilla Mi 11, Xiaomi added five more devices to the Mi 11 lineup -- the Mi 11 Lite 4G, Mi 11 Lite 5G, Mi 11i, Mi 11 Pro, and the Mi 11 Ultra. Here's everything you need to know about Xiaomi's extensive Mi 11 lineup.
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE lands in India with Snapdragon 778G and a 10-bit AMOLED display
The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has been launched in India. It packs a 6.5-inch AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, and a 4,250mAh battery.
Following the official debut earlier this month in Europe, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (New Edition) has now landed on the Indian shores. It joins the Mi 11 Lite 4G that launched in India just three months ago. The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is identical to the Mi 11 Lite 4G in many respects, including the design, the camera setup, battery capacity and charging speed, etc. However, it's the chipset and connectivity where the new model sets itself apart as it packs a much powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset and comes with 5G support.
Kernel sources released for OnePlus 9 series, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite series, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi MIX FOLD, and Google ADT-3/2
Kernel sources for the OnePlus 9 series and several Xiaomi phones, including the Mi 11 Lite and Mi 11 Ultra, are now available for download.
Whether you like OnePlus as a brand or not, one cannot deny that the smartphones offered by the Chinese OEM are some of the easiest-to-mod devices currently available on the market. The devices are really popular on our forums since they’re relatively easy to bootloader-unlock and root, and with readily available kernel sources, they’re also a boon for custom ROM/kernel development and overall modding. We saw OnePlus publish the kernel source code for the newly released OnePlus 9R shortly after its launch. The company is keeping up with the tradition with the regular OnePlus 9 series by releasing its kernel sources as well.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is a flat screen phone done right
In his first look at the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G, Ben Sin realizes that Xiaomi has made a good flat screen design not seen on many other phones.
I seem to be in the minority among my peers and colleagues in the tech media scene, but I actually like curved screen phones. Curved screens not only look visually appealing to me — especially with the way visuals seem to spill off the edges like an infinity pool — but also make for a more comfortable in-hand feel. Flat panels by and large don't feel as premium to me. But Xiaomi's new Mi 11 Lite is the exception -- it's a flat panel that feels good.
