The Xiaomi Mi 11 is the company's latest flagship smartphone, launched in China at a starting price of 3,999 Chinese Yuan (about Rs 44,980), with pre-orders already open. It arrives roughly eight months after the Mi 10 series, which included the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. Here is how the two generations compare across display, camera, performance and battery.

The Mi 11 features a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, WQHD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout. The aspect ratio is 20:9, and the panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 3.
The Mi 10 uses a smaller 6.67-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Like the newer model, it has a punch-hole cutout, but it relies on Gorilla Glass 5 for protection.
