Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite finally comes to India, bringing a new smartwatch too

Xiaomi has teased the arrival of the Mi 11 Lite in India for a long time now, but it’s finally launched the mid-range smartphone in the market today. It’s also brought a second product to the market in the form of the Mi Watch Revolve Active.

India is getting the Mi 11 Lite 4G, which offers 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, Mi 11-inspired design, and IP53 rating seen on the 5G variant.

You’re also getting a 6.5-inch 90Hz OLED screen (FHD+), a 4,250mAh battery, and 33W charging via an in-box charger. Other notable specs include dual stereo speakers, a triple rear camera setup (64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP telemacro), and a 16MP selfie shooter in a punch-hole cutout.

Mi Watch Revolve Active

Xiaomi launched the standard Mi Watch Revolve in India earlier this year, but it’s now delivered another variant called the Mi Watch Revolve Active. The new watch shares a lot in common with the earlier release on paper, such as a 1.39-inch OLED touchscreen, a 420mAh battery slated for up to 14 days of endurance, Bluetooth 5 support, and 5ATM water resistance.

The two watches also share features like integrated GPS, heart-rate tracking, and over 110 watch faces. But the Mi Watch Revolve Active offers support for 117 workout modes and 17 professional sports modes compared to the Mi Watch Revolve’s 10 modes. Furthermore, the new watch supports SpO2 tracking as well, which was missing from the standard Revolve. It also gains Alexa support out of the box, which came via an OTA update for the Mi Watch Revolve.

Mi 11 Lite and Mi Watch Revolve Active pricing

The 6GB/128GB Mi 11 Lite will be available for Rs 21,999 (~$296), with early bird pricing starting at Rs 20,499 (~$276) instead. Need more RAM? Then the 8GB/128GB variant will set you back Rs 23,999 (~$323), with early bird pricing of Rs 22,499 (~$303). The phone goes on pre-order from June 25 via Mi.com, Flipkart, Mi Home, and other participating retailers, with the first sale kicking off on June 28. There’s no word on when the early bird promotion ends.

Expect to pay a standard price of Rs 9,999 (~$135) for the Mi Watch Revolve Active, but Xiaomi confirmed that it’s offering early bird pricing of Rs 8,999 (~$121) for an unspecified period of time. The firm says the watch will be available via Mi.com, Amazon India, Mi Home, and other participating stores from June 25.
