Xiaomi rumoured to launch the Mi 11 Pro in February 2021: Report

Xiaomi could launch the Mi 11 Pro in February 2021, according to the latest report. The company announced the Mi 11 at an event on December 28 as the first phone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor but a superior “Pro” model was nowhere to be seen. That said, the Mi 11 does pack impressive hardware such as the 2K AMOLED screen with 108MP cameras and more.

According to a report by GizmoChina that cites a post on Weibo by popular tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi 11 Pro after the Spring Festival in China. The Spring Festival marks the beginning of the Chinese new year and kicks off from February 12, 2021. There’s no word on an exact date for the launch of the Mi 11 Pro as the company is keeping everything under wraps for now.

Before the launch of the Mi 11, leaked renders indicated that the Mi 11 Pro could feature an improved primary camera along with a periscope camera. Apart from that, little is known about the specifications of the Mi 11 Pro but one can expect it to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 as the standard Mi 11.

The Mi 11 features a 6.81-inch QHD+ (3200x1400 pixels) resolution display that uses an AMOLED panel with support for 120Hz refresh rate. It has a new design with curved edges and a squircle camera module. The screen is also topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus for added protection.

The Mi 11 also has a triple camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 108MP camera with an f/1.85 aperture, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 123-degree field-of-view and a 5MP macro camera. On the front, there is a 20MP selfie camera housed within the punch-hole cutout.

Xiaomi has equipped the Mi 11 with a 4,600mAh battery that supports 55W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging. The Mi 11 is priced starting at CNY 3999 for the base variant which roughly translates to a starting price of Rs 45,000 by direct conversion. However, there is no official word on the India launch of the Mi 11 yet. Xiaomi could launch the Mi 11 in India after its global unveil that has been teased already.
