Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE recently launched in the global market with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G SOC, and as we know already, the phone is soon launching in the Indian market. The launch is set to take place on the 29th of September. Earlier, a report revealed that the starting price of the phone would be under ₹25,000, but we didn’t get to know the actual price. Well, today, a source on Twitter claimed that the phone would start at just ₹21,999, which is mind-blowing if right!
As we know, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is just the Mi 11 Lite 4G but with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset instead of Snapdragon 732G and a 10-bit 90Hz AMOLED that supports HDR10+ and has Gorilla Glass 5. There is the same design, the same ultra-slim form factor, the same camera setup on the back, the same battery size, and the same charging speed.
Now, you might be wondering that currently, the Mi 11 Lite 4G starts at ₹21,999, so how can Xiaomi launch the 5G variant at the same price with a better-performing chip. Well, the same source says that the price of the 4G version (6GB + 128GB) will be reduced to ₹19,990 after the 5G version is launch. Also, the 8GB + 128GB variant will be discontinued since it makes no sense to spend above ₹21,999 on Mi 11 Lite 4G if the 5G version is available for the same price.
And as for the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE’s storage options, there are going to be three storage options – 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. There will be four color options where the three color options will be available after the launch, and one will launch later.
