The world’s second-largest smartphone vendor last quarter has just introduced a trio of smartphones globally.
(Update, November 3: What are the reasons to include the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE on your short list of smartphones to consider buying? We list the top five here!)
(Update, November 2: Our review of the Xiaomi 1T Pro and Xiaomi 11T is up!)
(Update, October 23: Time to #LetTheMagicBegin! See Philippine prices, freebies, preorder period, availability, and our unboxing here.)
(Update, October 16: These will be launched in the Philippines in October!)
The Xiaomi 11T Pro, Xiaomi 11T, and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE are official, debuting as three of the first Xiaomi devices to launch internationally without the Mi branding. There are no pricing and availability details for the Philippine market just yet, but in Europe, these are the handsets’ prices:

Again, those are prices in Europe, which tend to be higher than in other parts of the world, so expect the phones to be cheaper if and when they land in the Philippines.
Xiaomi 11T series
The two members of the 11T family are designed with Cinemagic in mind. Minus the marketing speak, that means the Xiaomi 11T Pro and Xiaomi 11T are made for content creators — those who are into shooting videos or filmmaking, those who are into capturing photos.
With their triple 108-megapixel main camera assisted by a 2x telemacro and a 120-degree ultra-wide-angle lens plus a suite of AI-powered camera-related tools, one should be able to easily create content even without a professional camera. The Pro model can even record in 8K.

The newly launched lineup boasts a highly rated 6.67-inch full-HD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen with TrueColor, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 1,000 nits of peak brightness, a maximum of 480Hz of touch-sampling rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Now, pair the features we’ve mentioned thus far with Dolby Atmos and dedicated dual speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, and creating and consuming content should be immersive.
But while the Xiaomi 11T gets a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor and support for 67-watt fast charging, the Xiaomi 11T Pro uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip and is the first smartphone to go official globally with the company’s proprietary 120W Xiaomi HyperCharge technology. You can compare the two models’ specs below.

Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
The Lite model announced today, September 15, is all about owning one’s style. It looks like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite we reviewed (and its 5G version) months ago; the NE in the name is said to mean “New Edition,” anyway. Sleek and striking, no doubt. But this time, you get a new color in the Snowflake White variant.
The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE also retains many of the specifications of the previous units, but this time, a 5G-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor powers the smartphone and the selfie camera is 20 megapixels. You can check out the rest of the device’s specs further below.
All of these amazing features are in one lite package.
