The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (New Edition) is set to launch in India soon, according to leaked information including a confirmed IMEI database listing with model number 2109119DI and the internal codename LIsa. Here is everything we know about the upcoming phone before its official announcement.
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE India Launch Details
Xiaomi first hinted at a 5G variant of the Mi 11 Lite 4G at the original launch event, promising to bring it to India once 5G network support arrived. That moment now appears to be close. While no official launch date has been confirmed, the IMEI database entry signals an imminent announcement. Xiaomi is expected to reveal the date officially within the next few days. The phone will arrive as the New Edition of the existing Mi 11 Lite 5G global model that debuted in March 2021.
Expected Specifications of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
Leaked reports suggest the specifications will closely mirror those of the global Mi 11 Lite 5G, with the most notable upgrade being the processor. Xiaomi is expected to equip the NE variant with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset — the same processor found in the Samsung Galaxy A52s. All other hardware is anticipated to carry over from the March 2021 global model without major changes.

Display and Design
The phone sports a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. The display runs at a 90Hz refresh rate paired with a 240Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input. A punch-hole cutout sits in the top-left corner for the front-facing camera, keeping the viewing area largely uninterrupted. The Mi 11 Lite 4G already earned a reputation as one of the thinnest smartphones in India, and the 5G NE is expected to retain that slim form factor.
Camera System
The rear camera array consists of three sensors: a 64MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 5MP telephoto lens. For selfies and video calls, Xiaomi has placed a 16MP camera in the punch-hole cutout at the front.
Battery and Charging
A 4250mAh battery powers the device, supported by 33W fast charging. The combination should provide a full day of use for most users while keeping recharge times reasonable. Security is handled by an in-display fingerprint sensor.
Connectivity
As the name implies, the phone is built for 5G networks and also supports 4G. Additional connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The charging port is USB Type-C.
