Qualcomm unveiled its latest flagship chipset called Snapdragon 888, and companies immediately began to brag that they will bring their new phones with the platform. Xiaomi went one step further and announced that the chip will make its world debut in the Xiaomi Mi 11.
Meanwhile, in a response from Weibo, Redmi CEO Lu Weibing revealed that the brand’s next flagship will also be among the first phones with the SD888, without revealing any details about a release date or eventual name.
Xiaomi co-founder and CEO Lei Jun made a keynote speech during the Snapdragon Summit, talking about the loyal partnership between his company and Qualcomm. The Mi flagships have always been some of the first devices with the latest Snapdragon chipset, but with the Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup in mid-January, the Mi 11 should arrive this month or in the early days of 2021.
Alleged images of the Xiaomi Mi 11
Meanwhile, a supposed image of the Xiaomi Mi 11 appeared on Weibo. It has a rather unusual camera design with two large sensors and a smaller camera, accompanied by an LED flash. However, the original source removed the post, and after hours of searching Weibo for a new post, we couldn’t find any, leading to suspicions that it might not be legitimate.
Hopefully we’ll know more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. Once we have reliable information on the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro smartphones, as well as the eventual Redmi K40 series, we will keep you posted.
