Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G product details
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is a lightweight 5G phone. With that we are mainly referring to its weight because at 159 grams and 6.81 millimeters thick, the Mi 11 Lite 5G is anything but heavy. Not lightweight are its performance but more on that in this description.
Differences between the two Mi 11 Lite's
There are 2 versions of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite; a 4G version and a 5G variant. For all intents and purposes. We are talking about the 5G version here. It seems a bit more expensive and it is partly so, but that is also because of this Mi 11 Lite 5G is not a 64GB version. The entry-level model here starts with 128GB of storage. Moreover, you get a slightly faster processor (with support for 5G, of course). And also, the glass on the front here is of the newer and sturdier Gorilla Glass 6 which is more drop resistant than the Gorilla Glass 5 on the front of the Mi 11 Lite 4G. And while we're on the subject of differences; the 20MP selfie camera is also sharper than the 16MP on the Mi 11 Lite 4G. But enough about another phone, time to take a closer look at this Mi 11 Lite 5G.

Beautiful screen
Xiaomi itself insists on how lightweight and compact this Mi 11 Lite 5G is but in reality, it's quite a big phone. One with a 6.55-inch screen. Even in a 6.81 millimeter thin body, you cannot hide that. The screen edges are small at 1.88 millimeters and the selfie camera is compactly concealed in the top left corner, but it is big. It is also colorful. The screen we mean. It is an AMOLED panel with high contrast values and a high HDR10 color range. It's also sharp thanks to its FHD+ resolution and fast thanks to its 90Hz refresh rate. This makes animations look a lot smoother than before. What you won't find on the screen, however, is fingerprint recognition. Instead, the scanner is hidden in the side.

Camera doesn't stick out its neck
In a world where smartphones are getting bigger and bigger camera modules on the back, the one on the Mi 11 Lite 5G is a welcome change. It is almost flat and protrudes only 1.77 millimeters. Apart from being beautifully designed, the module is also good at capturing sharp photos. The main camera is equipped with a 1/1.97-inch large 64MP sensor; sharp enough to take clear shots even at night. Below that is a depth camera that allows you to take macro photos at very close range. The reasonable resolution of 5MP makes its photos pretty usable as well. To the right of this duo is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera for extra wide shots with a 119-degree angle of view. In terms of video, there are plenty of extra features including magic zoom, slow shutter and Pro Timelapse. This allows you to create more creative videos than the ones you see on Facebook and Instagram.
