Five signs the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is for you

11/15/2021

Xiaomi’s 11-series undoubtedly offers a range of devices that can fit users of all types. But with specs mixed and matched across different models, it can get confusing as to which one is the one for you.

There are many reasons to instantly reach for the series’ top-of-the-line models with its advanced technology and sophisticated cameras, but sometimes it could be just as satisfying to find that the more affordable variant can still tick all the right boxes — just like the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE.

We all have our own ways of choosing a phone but if you resonate with the points mentioned in this article, there may be a chance the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is calling out to you.

You want a phone with a little personality

There’s no shame in admitting you want a phone that looks good. We’re with our devices for the most part of the day or night (or both!) so it’s understandable that you’d want something that represents you.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is great for just that especially if what you’re looking for is a simple and elegantly designed piece.

And having the most color options available, you can go subtle, like with Truffle Black, or even something more fashionable and eye-catching like Peach Pink.

Another plus is that the frosted matte back is easy to maintain since it doesn’t pick up fingerprints easily.

Dare to go dazzling as well with the Swarovski edition that comes with a special box and a Swarovski swan necklace.

Entertainment features matter

Whether it’s binge-watching on Netflix, tuning in to your favorite streamer, gaming, or just scrolling through Facebook, you’re looking for a phone that can give you the best experience.

The 11 Lite 5G NE offers not just a bright and vibrant screen to watch the latest series but also a fast 90Hz refresh rate for casual gaming. Combine this with the lively animations of Xiaomi’s MIUI 12, and you get an enjoyable experience even if you’re just browsing.

The dual speakers also do a great job of outputting clear and detailed sound to really round out the experience.

You snap for social media

If you’re the type of user who wants a really good camera but isn’t gunning for something ‘Pro’, then that’s another sign you may want to look into this device.

Out of the box, the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE delivers crisp and colorful photos from both its front and rear cameras. You also get features and filters that can get you through practically any social media platform.

So whether you’re taking photos of your plants or posting your daily IG story, this phone should be able to impress and get you those likes and hearts.

5G is in your area

It was only recently that 5G phones started to become more and more available locally. And, if you ask me, it’s about the right time to invest in a device that supports this technology.

Why? Because we’re now in a generation that values speed and connectivity. Whether it’s for work or for your social life, having stable and fast speeds is a luxury we’d all want to have.

So you live or work in an area that offers 5G connectivity, you’ll love having a device that supports these super-fast speeds.

Affordability and value are on your checklist

Needless to say, if your heart is set on getting an 11-series device but wants to keep things light on the wallet, this would be the phone for you.

Sure, you won’t have more sophisticated tech like the 120W HyperCharge on the 11 Pro, but you’re still getting a device that can easily get you through all the usual everyday tasks and offers a sleek design as well.

All in all, you’re getting a good amount of pretty premium features for a really fair price.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE starts at PhP 16,990 for the 6GB+128GB variant. The 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB models are priced at PhP 18,990 and PhP 20,990 respectively.
