We still don’t know if the ongoing and seemingly neverending chip crisis is to blame for this, or merely cost considerations.

Anyway, for all intents and purposes, the two phones are identical save for the SoC choice. And now, the 11 Lite 5G NE is being graced with a new update – we’re talking about MIUI 12.5 Enhanced.

It’s still on top of Android 11, as Xiaomi has yet to update any of its devices to…
