Xiaomi’s Mi has launched two new smartphones which have some robust and attractive features. We are talking about Mi 11 Lite 5G/Youth Edition and Mi 11i 5G. Let’s see which smartphone is better than the other.
Display
Mi 11i 5G sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ E4 Super AMOLED punch-hole display and comes with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. On the other hand, Mi 11 Lite 5G has a slightly smaller screen of 6.55 inch FHD+ AMOLED display. It comes with a smaller refresh rate of 90 Hz. Mi 11i 5G proving to a better option on the basis of display.

Camera
Both smartphones have a triple camera setup on the rear side of the device. Mi 11i features a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP macro lens. For selfies and video chats, you will be offered a 20MP selfie snapper at the front.
On the other side, Mi 11 Lite has a much weaker primary sensor. Its triple camera module packs a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5 MP macro sensor. The selfie snapper of this device is the same as Mi 11i. Due to the presence of a stronger primary sensor, we are inclined more towards Mi 11i.
Battery
The Mi 11i is fueled up by a bigger 4,520 mAH battery cell and is paired with a faster 33W fast-charging support when compared to Mi 11 Lite which draws energy from a 4,250 mAH battery cell and has similar fast-charging support of 33W.

With a bigger screen and higher refresh rate, better camera specs, and a more powerful battery cell, the Mi 11i is already ahead. Overall better features explain a bit higher price. That is very much expected. The presence of the Snapdragon 888 SoC makes it more obvious that we should have Mi 11i’s corner.
