Last December, Xiaomi launched Mi 11 as the first phone with Snapdragon 888 chipset. And now, the company has launched the Mi 11 Lite 5G as the first phone with Snapdragon 780G. In this post, we will be talking about the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G in Nepal.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G Overview:

Here, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite comes with a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel with an FHD+ resolution. It is a flat display with a left-aligned punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The phone comes with a 90Hz refresh rate. The bezels around the screen are very slim. As per the company, the bezels on the top and the side are just 1.88mm thick. The chin is slightly thicker at 2.75mm.

At the back, the phone inherits the new camera module from the regular Mi 11. The module encloses a triple camera setup along with an LED flash. The 6.81mm thickness means it is among the slimmest Mi phone out there in the market. It also very light and weighs only 159g.

Performance

In terms of performance, Mi 11 Lite 5G is powered by the new Snapdragon 780G chipset. The chipset was announced just a few days before this launch. It features four Cortex A78 cores (2.4GHz + 3 x 2.2GHz) and four Cortex A55 cores (1.9GHz). Other than that, the new chipset comes with a triple ISP (Spectra 570), Snapdragon X53 5G modem and is based on Samsung’s 5nm process.

Mi 11 Lite 5G is available in a single RAM configuration – 8GB, but users can choose between 128GB and 256GB internal storage. It ships with Android 11 out-of-the-box with MIUI 12.0 on top.

There is also a 4G variant of the Mi 11 Lite that comes with the Snapdragon 732G. It is the same processor that is used in the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Note 10 Pro Max. The device comes with 6GB of RAM paired with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage.

Rest of the specs

The triple camera setup at the back is led by a 64MP primary camera. There is an 8MP sensor for ultrawide shots. Similarly, Xiaomi has dedicated a 5MP sensor for macro shots. Sadly, the phone doesn’t feature a telephoto lens. On the front, there is a 20MP selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout.

Mi 11 Lite 5G is fueled by a 4,250mAh battery with support for 33W charging. The phone supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and a Type-C port but it misses out on a 3.5mm headphone jack.

After all the hypes and teasers, Xiaomi has finally showcased the Mi 11 Pro and Ultra to the world. These are the most premium offering from Xiaomi to date and build on the Mi 11 that was launched last December. In this post, we will be taking a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Ultra in Nepal.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, Ultra Overview:

Design and Display

Both phones feature a 6.81-inch AMOLED screen with QHD+ resolution. Like the regular Mi 11, the panel here is curved for the premium feel. The display supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The DotDisplay has a left-aligned circular cutout for the selfie camera.

The back panel on the Ultra is made using ceramic while the Pro model has a glass back. The ceramic back has made the Ultra thinner than the Pro (8.38 < 8.53). As expected, both phones are IP68 rated too.

The back of the Mi 11 Ultra looks completely new because of the secondary display. It is placed within the camera bump that now covers almost the 1/4^th part of the rear panel.

Performance

Being the premium smartphones that they are, you’ll find the Snapdragon 888 chipset inside. It is a flagship offering from Qualcomm based on Samsung’s 5nm process. It features a total of eight cores including the 2.84GHz Cortex X1 Prime core. The Snapdragon X60 5G modem is integrated into the chip for the 5G connectivity.

Keeping the chip cool is a new cooling system that makes use of a solid-liquid phase-change thermal pad. According to the company, the thermal conductivity is 100% higher than that of traditional gels.

Camera

Here, Mi 11 Ultra flaunts a triple camera setup on the back. The primary camera here uses the 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN2 sensor. The sensor was announced last month and is a follow-up to last year’s GN1. This 1/1.12” sensor features 1.4µm individual pixels. The 4-in-1 pixel binning results in larger 2.8µm pixels. It is also the first in the ISOCELL lineup to feature a Dual Pixel Pro AF system. It is capable of recording 4K/120fps videos.

Accompanying it is a 48MP ultrawide sensor (128-degree FOV) and a 48MP telephoto lens. The latter is capable of 5X optical zoom and 120x digital zoom. The camera module even features a secondary screen that can be useful while capturing selfies from the rear camera. Similarly, it can also display notifications.

On the contrary, Mi 11 Pro features the same primary camera but has a 13MP ultrawide camera (123-degree FOV) and an 8MP telephoto lens (5x optical/50x hybrid zoom).

Rest of the specs

The 5000mAh battery on the Mi 11 Pro and Ultra is based on Silicon-Anode battery technology. Though it’s a first for a commercial smartphone, similar technology has been used in the electric automotive industries. This allows batteries to be smaller and support higher charging speeds.

According to Xiaomi, the “nano-scale silicon material” on the negative electrode of the battery increases the theoretical gram capacity by 10 times compared to the graphite anode. In terms of charging, the device supports 67W wired and wireless charging. The phone comes with dual speakers tuned by Harmon Kardon.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Ultra Specifications:

• Display: 6.81-inches AMOLED DotDisplay with TrueColor, 120Hz Refresh Rate, MEMC, Corning Gorilla Victus, 100% DCI-P3, HDR10+, 1700 nits peak brightness

So, Xiaomi has launched a few new products in the Nepalese market. And among them is the Mi Beard Trimmer 1C. The device was actually launched last year in India. However, it has arrived in the Nepali market just now. This trimmer is sort of a derivative of 2019’s Mi Beard Trimmer. They have reduced the number of length settings on this one from 40 to 20. However, with COVID cases on the rise, you might want to get your hands on one of these to achieve a perfect beard look at home. So, let’s dive into the details about the Mi Beard Trimmer 1C including its price in Nepal.

Mi Beard Trimmer 1C Overview:

This new trimmer comes with an improved design over its predecessor. Therefore, it offers better grip and control. Furthermore, it is lighter and thinner so you get a controlled trim experience.

The blades on the Mi Beard Trimmer 1C are made up of stainless steel. Furthermore, they are self-sharpening blades that offer up to 0.5mm precision. Basically, the rotatory blades slide along the edge of other blades. As a result, after every rotation, the cutting edge sharpens. This mechanism helps to increase the lifespan of the blades.

The device is powered by a 600mAh battery. The claim is that the trimmer takes two hours to fully charge. And this is supposedly 75-80% efficiency in terms of the charging time in comparison to its competitors. Also, on a single charge, the trimmer can last for up to 60 minutes. Another thing to note about the Mi Beard Trimmer 1C is that it is built for cordless use only, meaning you shouldn’t actively use it while plugging it into a power source.

Specifications:

• Cutting Element: Self-sharpening Stainless Steel Blades
• Number of Combs: 1
• Number of Length Settings: 20
• Trimming Precision: 0.5mm
