Now, the device debuted at a starting price of CNY 3,999 (~Rs. 44,999). However, as per recent leaks and rumors, Xiaomi is expected to launch two versions of the device in India. One will be the standard Mi 11, while the other one will be a cheaper Mi 11 Lite. Also, if the company again plans to import the devices from China, we can expect a significant price bump – just like last year.

To compete with the 5G smartphones from other notable players like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Oppo, Realme has been teasing the launch of its 5G-supported Realme X7 series for quite some time now. The companylaunched the devices in Chinaback in September 2020. We recently saw the lower-endRealme X7 receive BIS certification in Indiaahead of its launch in the country. And we expect an early February launch in India.

Coming to the specs, the devices will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ and the Dimensity 800U chipsets. They will also feature AMOLED displays, which is great, and 64MP quad-cameras, and 65W fast-charging support.

Although the launch date is not yet confirmed, we expect the starting price of the device will be lesser than the Chinese price tag of CNY 1,799 (~Rs. 20,000).
