Soon after OnePlus launched the OnePlus 9 series alongside the OnePlus Watch, Xiaomi India posted a picture on its social media channels with the caption: It’s worth the wait. “While others are focused on getting your attention, we are focused on making fiction a reality, and bringing you an all-new smartphone experience”, the text reads.

Earlier in January, a Xiaomi India executive went on record to reveal that the company will be bringing the Mi 11 Series to India but “are still contemplating the SKUs we want to bring to the country.” Fast forward to March, Xiaomi has revealed that it is hosting a global launch event on March 29 where it is expected to launch the Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi Band 6, Mi Notebook Pro and more. 

Xiaomi is yet to reveal the exact launch date of the Mi 11 series in India but it is likely to be hosted after the March 29 global launch.
