Xiaomi’s Mi Fan Festival is underway and the company is offering multiple discounts on their products. The company today announced that the Mi 11X Pro will get a discount of Rs 10,000 off its original price during the last leg of the sale. The discount offers will be available on Mi.com, Amazon.in and the company's offline retail stores as well.

The Mi 11X Pro will be available for Rs 34,999 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant. The company is offering a minimum discount of Rs 5,000 through the company’s exchange offer. This effectively brings down the price to Rs 29,999. The smartphone can also be availed for an even lower price if you are exchanging other premium smartphones.

Users of MobiKwik who purchase the smartphone with the wallet balances would get a cashback of Rs 700 while Paytm users get cashback of up to Rs 400.

The Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro is available in 3 colours - Cosmic Black, Frosty White and Celestial Silver. The smartphone features the Snapdragon 888 with a 120Hz 6.67-inch FullHD+ E4 AMOLED display with support for HDR10+ and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection along with a punch-hole camera. The device also comes with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage on the base variant. It is also available in 256GB storage.

In terms of the camera specifications, the Mi 11X Pro features a 108-megapixel primary camera with Samsung’s HM2 sensor, a secondary 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 5-megapixel telemacro lens. On the front, the device gets a 20-megapixel selfie shooter that supports AI face unlock.

When it comes to connectivity, the smartphone comes with Bluetooth 5.2 and supports WiFi 6. The Mi 11X Pro comes with dual-5G sim support and runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 11. The smartphone is expected to be updated to MIUI 13 based on Android 12 in the future. Other features of the smartphone include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and an IR blaster.

A 4,520 mAh battery pack powers all the internal components and hardware of the Mi 11X Pro. The smartphone also comes with a 33W fast charger out of the box.

Does buying the Mi 11x Pro makes sense in 2022?

When we look at Xiaomi’s current lineup of products in the 11-series, the Mi 11X Pro would be a real good deal for Rs 29,999. In comparison, the Mi 11T Pro 5G retails at Rs 39,999 with the same 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. By shelling out another Rs 10,000 what you get is a slightly larger 5,000 mAh battery and a faster 120W charger. That upgrade is too steep.

The Mi Fan Festival began on April 6th and ends today with the company providing discounts on TVs, smartphones and accessories. The company is also providing users with an opportunity to win the Redmi Note 11 Pro during the sale.
