It will support Bluetooth 5.2.

As per the rumors, the Mi 11 Lite will have a punch-hole IPS LCD display having a faster refresh rate of 120Hz. In terms of camera, it will have a 64MP triple rear camera setup. As it will not have an AMOLED panel. it is expected to have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is looking to arrive as a stripped-down version of the Mi 11 5G.
