Xiaomi 11i review: Making one compromise too many | Android Central
Xiaomi unveiled the 11i series in India on January 6, with the phones going up for sale from January 12. The phone is sold in two models: the base version has 67W fast charging and a 5160mAh battery, and the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge features 120W fast charging and a 4500mAh dual-cell battery. So you can get a larger battery or faster charging, but not both in the same phone.
The Xiaomi 11i is available in two variants: the 6GB/128GB model debuts at ₹26,999 ($365) while the 8GB/128GB version is at ₹28,999 ($390). This is for the 120W version of the device; if you're opting for the 67W model, you get to shave off ₹2,000 ($27) on either model. I'm testing the 120W model, but if I had to buy one for my own use, I'd go with the 67W variant — other than the charging tech and battery size, there's no difference between the two.
Like all Xiaomi phones, the 11i is sold via a flash sale model, with the first set of units selling out in under five minutes. So if you miss the sale, you will have to wait until the next one and cross your fingers that you can get your hands on the phone then. Or you can always pick up one of the alternatives I've highlighted at the end of the review — there's no shortage of value-focused phones in this category.
