Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G breaks cover courtesy of Google, specs in tow

Xiaomi didn’t reveal the Mi 11 Lite at its Chinese or global Mi 11 events, but we’re guessing that the company will reveal this phone alongside the Mi 11 Ultra in the coming weeks and months.

Now, MySmartPrice has discovered that the Mi 11 Lite 5G has actually been listed on the Google Play Console platform, complete with the code-name of Renoir. We don’t get any images, so those earlier renders by Digital Chat Station will have to do for now. But we do get a good look at the apparent specs though.

The listing reveals an SM7250 chipset, which is likely to be a Snapdragon 765 series chipset if not a new entry in the series. The listed clock speed for the prime core (2.4Ghz) also lines up with the Snapdragon 765 series, as the similar Snapdragon 768G SoC offers a 2.8Ghz clock speed.

We’ve also got an Adreno 620 GPU, almost 8GB of listed RAM, and a 1,080 x 2,400 screen. And all of this lines up well with your average upper mid-range release in 2021.

Little else is known about the Mi 11 Lite 5G, but a Mi 11 Lite device passed through the FCC in January. The FCC filing revealed a phone with a 4,150mAh battery, 33W charging, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of storage. However, it’s believed that this particular variant is a 4G model and is equipped with a Snapdragon 73x series chipset.
