Introduction
The Mi 11X is the latest mid-range premium offering from Xiaomi in India. It is part of a series of two devices, the other being the Mi 11X Pro, which also unveiled next week.
The Mi 11X is actually the Redmi K40 or Poco F3 renamed the Indian market. The three phones are the same as keeping the name printed on their back.
The reason it is renamed Mi 11X in India is probably because Redmi's name is very similar to budget devices, and the Poco brand these days is reserved for mid-range models. Since this model is on the side of the manufacturer Xiaomi in India, it gets the Mi premium brand more.
