And just like that, another Xiaomi phone is coming to the Philippines, just some time after the Redmi Note 10 Pro became official in the country.

(Update, May 14: Our review of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is up!)

(Update, April 22: The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite goes official in the Philippines! See its price and availability here.)

Announced worldwide March 29, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is scheduled to launch here April 22. And while it’s not yet listed on any of the brand’s official online stores, it’s already on the official global shop on Lazada. The prices shown on the ecommerce site are P14,590 (roughly $302) for the 6GB/64GB model and P15,590 ($322) for the version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

The said prices line up with how much the Mi 11 Lite costs in Europe, where gadgets are more expensive. Recall that the smartphone is being sold there from €299 (P17,319 or $358).

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite boasts a 90Hz AMOLED DotDisplay that measures 6.55 inches, is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and supports HDR10. It features LiquidCool technology, a 64-megapixel triple camera on the back, a 16-megapixel selfie shooter, a 4,250mAh battery with support for 33-watt fast charging, dual audio speakers, and Android 11.
