As we have widely anticipated, Xiaomi Mi 11 is the first official smartphone with the Snapdragon chipset on board 888 , offering a chance to see it in action early in the new year. Let’s find out the official features of the device between confirmations and news.
Design
Xiaomi Mi 11 does not change the design of its predecessors, but sports an innovative display with a quadruple curvature on the sides that brings the metal frame to a thickness of 1, 8 mm. There are two variants presented, the first with a back cover in glass while a second version Leather. The island that houses the cameras has three circular modules : the main one from 108 MP is the largest of the three, recognizable by a silver ring visible along the perimeter. The thickness of the edges of the screen is limited; at the top left there is the small hole that houses the selfie cam.

The flagship of Xiaomi Mi 11 remains its processor, the model Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 which will offer an unprecedented user experience in terms of speed and reliability.
