The standard Mi 11X is rumored to be based on the Redmi K40, which was recently launched in Europe as the POCO F3. You can expect the phone to feature a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870 chipset, triple rear cameras with a 48MP main sensor, and a 4,520mAh battery with support for 33W charging speeds.

Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro, on the other hand, is likely to be based on the Chinese Redmi K40 Pro+, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and features an impressive 108MP main camera. It also comes equipped with up to 12GB of RAM, 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 20MP selfie camera. On the software side of things, both the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro will ship with Android 11-based MIUI 12 out of the box.

The Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro are expected to be a lot more competitively priced in India than the Mi 11 Ultra, which is tipped to start at over ₹70,000 ($935).
