Xiaomi has confirmed that the new 11T and 11T Pro will come with at least 3 Android OS updates as well as 4 years of security updates. This would provide users greater peace of mind knowing that their devices can remain up to date with the latest security patches. This is similar to OnePlus’ recent commitment to offer 3 major Android updates and 4 years of security updates for its flagship models.

As you would expect from most Chinese smartphone makers, Xiaomi is offering 120W HyperCharge technology on the new 11T series. The 120W fast charging tech has been introduced on the Xiaomi Mix 4 and the Mi 10 Ultra. On the Mix 4, its 4,500mAh battery can be charged from 0 to 100% in just 15 minutes. The question is, will Xiaomi include the 120W fast charger in the box, or will it be sold separately?

Improved audio experience

In this upcoming launch, we are going to listen to the sound of #Cinemagic.

The balanced stereo experience is also retained on the current Mi 11.

At the moment, details for the rest of the hardware are quite limited and it isn’t clear if Xiaomi will include Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 888+ or would it settle for a Snapdragon 888. Traditionally, the “T” series is often priced lower than the first flagship series that was launched in the year.

Based on a leaked render shared by SnoopyTech, the device appears to come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. This is an indication that the device might be using an LCD display instead of an AMOLED screen that usually offers an in-screen fingerprint sensor. If you look at the camera bump, the device would come with a triple-camera setup which includes a 108MP main camera.

All shall be revealed next Wednesday, 15th September at 8pm Malaysian time. You can watch the live event on Xiaomi Malaysia’s Facebook page.
