Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite finally comes to India, bringing a new smartwatch too
TL; DR
- The Mi 11 Lite has hit the market in India, albeit the 4G model.
- Xiaomi has also launched the Mi Watch Revolve Active on the market.
Xiaomi has long been teasing the arrival of the Mi 11 Lite in India, but it finally launched the mid-range smartphone today. With the Mi Watch Revolve Active, a second product has also been launched.
India is getting the Mi 11 Lite 4G, which features the Snapdragon 732G SoC instead of the more powerful (and 5G capable) Snapdragon 780G processor. Otherwise, the 4G model still offers the same 6.8mm thickness, the Mi 11-inspired design, and the IP53 rating of the 5G variant.
You also get a 6.5-inch 90 Hz OLED screen (FHD +), a 4,250 mAh battery, and a 33 W charge via an included charger. Other notable specs include two stereo speakers, a triple rear camera setup (64 MP main, 8 MP ultra wide, 5 MP tele macro) and a 16 MP selfie shooter in a hole cutout.
Mi Watch Revolve Active
Xiaomi launched the standard Mi Watch Revolve in India earlier this year, but now another variant called the Mi Watch Revolve Active is being shipped. The new watch has a lot in common with the earlier version on paper, such as: B. 1.39-inch OLED touchscreen, 420 mAh battery for up to 14 days of endurance, Bluetooth 5 support and 5 ATM water resistance.
The two watches also share features like built-in GPS, heart rate tracking, and over 110 watch faces. But the Mi Watch Revolve Active has support for 117 training modes and 17 professional sport modes compared to the 10 modes of the Mi Watch Revolve. In addition, the new watch also supports SpO2 tracking, which was missing from the standard Revolve. It also gets Alexa support out of the box that came via an OTA update for the Mi Watch Revolve.
