Xiaomi has now officially unveiled the 11T Pro and 11 Lite 5G NE, which continues the Mi 11 series without the “Mi” branding.

Ahead of the release of the Xiaomi 11T Pro and 11T, the Chinese firm is promising extended support for the upcoming duo with three years of OS updates and a further year of regular security patches.

Renders of the upcoming Xiaomi 11T Pro — the first new Xiaomi device to launch without “Mi” branding — have been shared online giving us a glimpse at some of the potential hardware on this affordable flagship Android phone.

Xiaomi’s popular “Mi” series smartphones have exploded in popularity over the past few years in global markets, but it seems as though this branding may be sidelined with future releases.

As our smartphones become more valuable daily tools, charging them has also gotten much faster. A modern flagship phone can easily be charged in full within an hour or so, some considerably quicker. Xiaomi, though, is showing off a new 200W charger that can fully charge a smartphone in under 10 minutes.

Xiaomi looks set to be removed from the controversial US trade blacklist after the US Department of Defense deemed the move “appropriate.”

The Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro is a good phone trapped between two price points and living in the shadow of the excellent Poco F3.

As the “main” flagship for Xiaomi in 2021, at least on paper, the Mi 11 Ultra really doesn’t disappoint. No smartphone is used on paper though and how it stacks up is far more nuanced.

I think I may have jumped the gun in late 2020 by declaring that the OnePlus Nord might offer price-to-performance perfection because clearly, I hadn’t thought about Xiaomi’s efforts in the mid- to-low-end range. If you want a taste of things often reserved for far more exorbitantly priced devices, then the Poco F3 is an absolute steal.

More foldables are coming to market as the tech improves and meets the durability standards the Average Joe needs. Today, Xiaomi is expanding its Mi Mix series to include the Mi Mix Fold, the company’s first foldable that takes inspiration from the Galaxy Fold but carries a $1,500 price.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has now officially been unveiled, with the smartphone taking the Mi 11 DNA and adding in some seriously powerful added internals and camera prowess.

Gaming phones still feel very much like an enigma, but we’ve seen more and more options hit the market in recent years. The latest duo to join the growing list comes in the form of the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro.

The next Poco-branded flagship smartphone has now arrived with the unveiling of the Poco F3, one of the first smartphones to market with the more affordable Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G chipset.

We were enamoured with the Poco X3 NFC; it was a fantastic budget device worthy of the Poco name. However, it looks like the upcoming Poco X3 Pro will take a few design cues from its older, likely more affordable sibling according to some leaked renders.

Xiaomi might not be a household name in the US, but the Mi 11 is one such smartphone that really ought to be available in North American markets as an alternative to the similarly solid Galaxy S21 series.

After teases and hints, the Xiaomi Mi 11 has now officially launched globally with the flagship device packing in some true powerhouse specifications at an incredibly enticing price point.
