True to its title 'the performance king' in the mid-range segment of 2021, Xiaomi consistently unveils outstanding smartphones in this category, such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite launched back in April 2021. Recently, Xiaomi has introduced its successor named Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. So, what are the differences between Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, and should you upgrade?

Let's uncover the answers in this article together!

*Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE has officially debuted in Vietnam during the event on October 7, 2021, you can check it out in the article below.

Camera: There's a slight upgrade in the selfie camera on the successor version.

At a mid-range price, I've been quite satisfied with the image quality of the 16 MP selfie camera on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. However, this time around, I was pleasantly surprised when Xiaomi upgraded the front camera of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE to a resolution of 20 MP, similar to flagship models.

Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE will be an intriguing choice for selfie enthusiasts like me as this smartphone integrates many intelligent beauty features and remarkably effective flaw processing capabilities, delivering photos that are not overly artificial as we often see on other smartphones in the same price range.

Next, let's briefly go over the rear camera specifications. Both feature a similar rear camera setup with a 64 MP main lens, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and finally a 5 MP telephoto camera.

It's not difficult to understand why Xiaomi decided to keep the camera specifications unchanged for the upcoming version. The 64 MP camera setup is excellent enough to meet all the photography and videography needs of users.

Specifications: Still rocking the legendary 'Dragon' chip but more powerful and with the addition of 5G capability

Paired with 8 GB of RAM, the Snapdragon 732G chip on Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite still handles everyday tasks well and even manages heavy graphics games. This configuration is more than enough for you to use for the next few years. What about the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE?

As mentioned earlier, Xiaomi doesn't disappoint with the title of 'performance king' with a significant upgrade in the processor for the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. With the new Snapdragon 778 5G chip, along with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, this smartphone will truly handle any heavy tasks or games effortlessly.

Despite both having Snapdragon 7 series chips, we still see differences between these two smartphones. In real-world usage, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE still provides a better experience.

Not only in terms of processing power, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE also maximizes the power of 5G to enhance users' daily experience. This is considered one of the most valuable upgrades of Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE compared to its predecessor.

The design remains the same but Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE introduces a new and more unique color palette.

Honestly, when looking at the back design of both versions, it's almost impossible to distinguish between the Mi 11 Lite and the NE version because they look identical. Both feature the most youthful and lightweight design from Xiaomi.

Perhaps color is the only aspect that users can use to distinguish the appearance of the new version from the old one.

In addition to the original Black, Sweet Candy Blue, and Delicate Pink colors, the NE version also adds a completely new color to its palette – Snow White for those who enjoy watching snowfall like myself.

On the front, both versions are identical with hole-punch displays and extremely delicate slim bezels. This has made the overall device look more elegant.

The screens share many similarities

There isn't much difference in the screens of Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite as both are equipped with a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution.

This type of screen is good enough to provide us with visually satisfying experiences. Additionally, the NE version still maintains a 90 Hz refresh rate screen like the Mi 11 Lite. In the mid-range segment, I don't demand too much in terms of a higher refresh rate screen.

There's a slight upgrade in the NE version compared to the previous generation, as the screen will display better even in bright sunlight with a maximum brightness of up to 800 nits, while Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is 500 nits. This will be a great upgrade for those who often use smartphones in bright light conditions.

Should you buy Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite now or wait for Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE to hit the shelves?

Returning to the question of whether to buy Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite or wait to buy Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE? I'll provide my personal perspective for you to consider. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite version will be suitable for those with lower budgets, who don't regularly play games on smartphones, and don't focus too much on 5G connectivity.

And the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE version will be the perfect choice for those seeking a smartphone with good performance, 5G connectivity, and more color options.
