Best Xiaomi Mi 11, 11 Ultra & Mi Lite Deals Right Now: Save £150

By editorialteamSeptember 9, 2021update

The Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Lite 5G are all officially on sale in the UK. While the Mi 11 went on sale in April, the UK release dates for the other two handsets remained elusive. Here, we’re tracking where to buy the Xiaomi Mi 11 phones in the UK and the best deals around – on contract and SIM-free. 

If you’re not already familiar, the Mi 11 is the first handset in the world to boast the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, which promises dramatic leaps in 5G, AI, gaming, and photography. The Mi 11 launched alongside the Mi Watch, Mi Watch Lite, and a Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 edition Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2. Watch the launch event again here.

Xiaomi has started “Round 2” of its Back to School Sale which includes £150 off the Mi 11 until 19 September. The offer outdoes it Summer Sale discount (which ended on 22 August), when it had £100 off the device but bundled a free Redmi 9A phone or Mi Watch Lite. You can, however, still get a free Mi Watch Lite bundled with the handset as a part of Xiaomi’s Back to School sale. We’re taking a closer look at Xiaomi’s sale in this article.

Over at Laptops Direct, there’s £150 off the 256GB Xiaomi Mi 11. This drops the price to an attractive £693. Meanwhile Mobile Phones Direct is bundling a free Nintendo Switch with the Mi Lite.

Here we’re looking at where to buy the Mi 11 range at the best price across all retailers in the UK.

Both the Ultra and Pro will offer the Snapdragon 888 processor and up to 12GB RAM. Like the Mi 11, you can expect 2K quad-curved 120Hz AMOLED panels on both phones, but a larger 5000mAh battery (compared to the Mi 11’s 4600mAh) that supports wired and wireless fast charging at 67W.

The Mi 11 Pro will also offer a 50Mp main camera, 13Mp ultrawide, and an 8Mp ‘telemacro’ lens with OIS. The 11 Ultra will offer a 48Mp main camera, and most notably, a mini display on the rear camera module that doubles as a viewfinder, so that the main camera can be used for selfies.
