What reviewers say

Reviewers like the slim, light body and OLED screen, but see little reason to upgrade from the original Mi 11 Lite 5G. Battery comparisons differ; TechnikNews gets longer runtimes from the NE, whereas Notebookcheck finds its Wi-Fi and video endurance slightly worse. TechnikNews also encounters occasional stutters during gestures, camera use and multitasking.
