Every year Xiaomi usually announces its flagship smartphones in February. But this time, the company sped up the process to become the first to launch a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 device. The Xiaomi Mi 11 was announced earlier this week with the rest of its specs as stellar as the processor. But while we waited for two devices, a standard version and a Pro at the event, Xiaomi only released one, leaving us a bit perplexed about the Pro. Gladly, we now have evidence confirming that Xiaomi is working on a Mi 11 Pro and it comes with a curved screen similar to the vanilla Mi 11.
Xiaomi recently updated the MIUI Gallery app to version 2.2.17.18 and the same was also uploaded to the built-in app store on Xiaomi devices in China. This application was extracted by XDA Senior Member and frequent Xiaomi informant kacskrz who discovered evidence in the MIUI Gallery source code that clearly underscores Pro’s nickname. With the new version of MIUI Gallery, an array of strings in the MIUI Gallery app, called “magic_system_model, “Updated to include” Mi 11 “and” Mi 11 Pro “.
In addition to this, a class called “CurvedScreenUtil“Use a method called”isCurvedScreen“To check if the system model is listed among the devices in”magic_system_model. “If that works, the method returns a ‘true’ value, which confirms that the device has a curved screen. It turns out to be true for the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. Frankly speaking, we’re not really surprised to learn about the Pro’s curved screen. as the regular variant comes with a QHD + screen that curves along all four edges.
In particular, this is not the first mention of the Mi 11 Pro and we heard it for the first time from a trusted insider. Digital chat station in November 2020. The whistleblower had noted that the flagship Pro will feature a QHD + display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The same was corroborated by kacskrz who first found reliable evidence in the beta source code of MIUI 12, which was confirmed once again in MIUI 12 based on Android 11 a week later.
They also noted that the Mi 11 Pro would also include MEMC, SDR to HDR mapping, and AI upscaling. Since these features were not announced at the launch event earlier this week, we can expect them to be exclusive to the Pro.
There is no information on when Xiaomi could launch the Mi 11 Pro, but we will update it when we know the same.
