Soon after the Mi 11 series global launch next week, the Xiaomi Mi 11 series smartphones will be launched in India - likely in the month of April. Mi India’s tweet says “While others are focused on getting your attention, we are focused on making fiction a reality, and bringing you an all-new smartphone experience” - subtly taking a dig at the competition.
While we do not have the exact launch timeline of the Mi 11 series in India, we expect the devices will launch in India in April. The Mi 11 Ultra’s IMEI number has been registered in India already so that launch won’t be too far away.
