As part of its new line of flagship phones, Xiaomi introduced a few months ago in our country to the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. The last initials of his name mean ‘New Edition’ since it is an updated version of the model presented in May of this year.

Beyond introducing new color variants, the cell phone also has a new processor and RAM memory options. In order to evaluate its performance in different areas, such as design, software, camera and battery, in The Republic We tested it for the last few weeks.

The smartphone arrives in a white box that highlights the number 11, which is distinctive of this series. It should be noted that the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE It belongs to the first range of products presented under the new name after the removal of the Mi brand.

One of the most striking features of the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is its design. It features a back cover with a matte finish that reflects different shades depending on the position of the light. In this case, the test unit I had at my disposal was in color Peach Pink.

Beyond the aesthetic issue, the phone stands out for being quite light and comfortable to use. While it is not a compact device (its dimensions are 160.53 x 75.73), it weighs only 158 grams and is 6.81 mm thick, giving it a sleek appearance.
