A phone with a similar model number had received the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification. It’s possible that Xiaomi may discontinue the Mi 11 Lite 4G as reported recently and introduce the Mi 11 Lite NE (new era?). This means that Xiaomi, instead of launching the Mi 11 Lite 5G with Snapdragon 780G, will be using the Snapdragon 778G chipset. There are chances the Mi 11 Lite NE may use similar hardware as the Mi 11 Lite 5G. That’s pretty much everything about the Mi 11 Lite NE at the moment but we should learn more information soon if it’s indeed in the works.
