Xiaomi’s mid-ear upgrade for the Mi 11 series is coming and this time around, a lot is changing. In addition to the name change (no more Mi branding), Xiaomi is also upgrading the charging technology on the higher-end models. Similar to what the rumors have predicted, the Xiaomi 11T Pro is indeed getting a 120W HyperCharge solution. Also read- Top camera phones under Rs 20,000 in September 2021: Xiaomi, Motorola, Poco
It’s not a breakthrough technology, but it’s a first for a commercial Xiaomi device. The company used the 120W system on last year’s Mi 10 Anniversary Edition model but it was available in limited numbers. The Xiaomi 11T Pro is expected to be comparatively more widely available, as it will replace the Mi 11 Pro from earlier this year.

Xiaomi 120W HyperCharge technology will be launched soon
Xiaomi isn’t revealing any charging speed or timing just yet, but you can expect this to be the fastest solution the company has come up with yet. The 120W system will put it on par with the 120W wired charging solutions from iQOO, Vivo and Oppo. Rumors suggest that Xiaomi will use the same 5000mAh battery as the older model.

However, this may be the only major change for the Xiaomi 11T Pro over the Mi 11 Pro. Hence, the phone is likely to retain the Snapdragon 888 chip, its 120Hz AMOLED display and its versatile triple rear camera system.
For the standard Xiaomi 11T, one notable change expected is the move from the Snapdragon 870 chip to the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip. The Dimensity 1200 offers the same level of performance as the Snapdragon 870, but has better 5G support, and is cheaper for manufacturers.

The standard model is expected to see a higher resolution 64-megapixel camera on the rear along with the same 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 5-megapixel macro camera. Prices are expected to remain unchanged from the current model.
It remains to be seen whether the Xiaomi 11T series arrives in India. Last year Mi 10T Series Launched during the festive season along with a few upgrades as well as a downgrade of the original Mi 10. Since the Mi 10T was launched at lower prices, we expect Xiaomi to launch the Xiaomi 11T series in India at lower prices as well.
On the other hand, there is no news about the upgrade of the Mi 11 Ultra.
