The Weibo post also suggests that the Xiaomi Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro both will come with a 6-inch QHD+ AMOLED display and feature a 120Hz refresh rate.

It could also include a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 48-megapixel telephoto shooter.
Both Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro are rumoured to have 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of onboard UFS 3.1 storage. These could be the entry-level variants. The phones are also expected with in-display fingerprint sensors and NFC support. Further, there could be a 20-megapixel selfie camera sensor at the front on the smartphones.
The Mi 11 is reported to come with a 4,780mAh battery with 50W wired and 30W wireless charging support. The Mi 11 Pro, on the other hand, could offer 4,500mAh battery along with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. Xiaomi notably brought Mi 10 Ultra earlier this year with 120W fast charging.
On the part of SoC, as Xiaomi’s Lei Jun confirmed that the Mi 11 will come with the Snapdragon 888. The Mi 11 Pro will likely have the same SoC.
Apart from the specifications, some purported images of the Xiaomi Mi 11 have also surfaced on Weibo. The images show a square camera module at the back — with the primary and secondary sensors placed vertically. One of the leaked images also suggests an Infrared (IR) blaster on the smartphone.
Separately, a tipster who goes by pseudonym Ice Universe on Twitter, claimed that the Mi 11 will be released around end of December. This is unlike earlier reports that suggested a January launch for the smartphone.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 is also said to have a curved display on all four sides. To recall, the Mi 10 series has a curvature on the left and right sides of the screen.
Another tipster, who handles Twitter account Digital Chat Station, has said that the Mi 11 will come with 120W fast charging and a 50-megapixel image sensor.
Xiaomi has not yet provided any details about the Mi 11 series. It is, therefore, safe to read these details as unconfirmed.
