Xiaomi is bringing the 11 Lite 5G NE to India on September 29. This is primarily a souped-up take on the Mi 11 Lite 4G which was launched in the nation barely 3 months ago. The 11 Lite 5G NE swaps the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G method-on-chip with a Snapdragon 778G chipset maintaining rest of the specs and core style exact same as the Mi 11 Lite 4G.
Many would argue, the 11 Lite 5G NE is the phone that Xiaomi really should have launched in India in the 1st spot. But there’s more to it than what meets the eye. The 11 Lite 5G NE is technically a ‘new’ solution (the NE in reality stands for new edition) which was announced just yesterday at Xiaomi’s international occasion that also saw the firm launch a couple of more premium phones, the 11T and 11T Pro. So, in a way there’s no way that Xiaomi could have launched the solution in India in June.
But what it could have carried out was launch the Mi 11 Lite 5G, which was about at that point in time. The ‘new edition’ is practically the exact same phone with a unique chipset. As it turns out, and as it is becoming extensively reported, the purpose why Xiaomi didn’t launch it in India possibly, and why a phone like the 11 Lite 5G NE exists today is in element due to the international semiconductor shortage. That is also the purpose why we’ve seen a lot of of its phones such as the well known Redmi Note 10 acquiring a price tag hike not too long ago.

As for why Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 Lite 4G, effectively, your guess is as superior as ours.
But as pointed out earlier, the 11 Lite 5G NE is a Mi 11 Lite 4G with a Snapdragon 778G chipset. This implies Xiaomi is expectedly touting its ‘slim and light design’ after once again, considerably like it did with the 4G model, with the addition that it now packs international 5G bands and expectedly really should provide quicker functionality.

A model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will set you back by Euros 399 (roughly Rs 34,500). Watch this space for more coverage on the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE in the days to come.
