Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE: A 158-gram AMOLED 5G phone — Xiaomi's slim "fashion" mid.
SpecEagle Editorial·Sep 2021·$399·Score 68/100
11 Lite 5G NE went the other way — 158 g, 6.8 mm, Pantone colours, jack, IR — when rivals were chasing big batteries and giant cameras. The 4,250 mAh cell and modest 33 W charging were the trade. As a fashion-mid for one-handed users, nothing of its era beat the feel.
