Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge India Launch Confirmed

Xiaomi, via a media invite and a Twitter post, has confirmed that the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is coming to India next month. The 120W fast charging is claimed to fully charge the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in about 15 minutes. Yes, you read that right! With this, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge will become “India’s fastest charging smartphone.”

Also, as you can notice in the teaser image, the company will unveil more than one Xiaomi 11i smartphone next month.

In addition to this, the upcoming Xiaomi phone will be available to buy exclusively via Flipkart, as revealed via the now-live landing page on the e-commerce platform. The page will reveal more details regarding the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in the coming days.

As for the specs, the Xiaomi 11i series is expected to have the same specs as the Redmi Note 11 Pro series in China.
