This is an interesting statement considering that Xiaomi usually launches its flagship smartphone in February. The company is reported to have sent the Mi 11 for network certification, indicating that a launch is just around the corner.

Xiaomi Mi 11 can get a curved screen on all four sides. Earlier leaks indicate that the phone will feature a Quad HD + display with a notch for the front camera. Both the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro are expected to have a 120Hz refresh rate screen.

If Xiaomi is indeed planning to release the Mi 11 in December 2020, teasers with the features and specs of the upcoming phone will start popping up in the coming weeks. In this case, the company should also announce a launch date soon.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is built on a 5nm process technology and is integrated with the third generation Snapdragon X60 5G modem, which supports 5G mmWave and sub-6 in all major bands around the world.

Xiaomi isn’t the only company to have confirmed the release of an SD888-based smartphone. Several other brands, including Black Shark, Nubia Red Magic, OPPO, Realme, LG, Vivo, iQOO and OnePlus, have confirmed that they will release their flagship Snapdragon 888 smartphones in the coming months.
