The Xiaomi Mi 11X series will debut in India alongside the Mi 11 Ultra flagship later this week. So far, Xiaomi has revealed a lot of details about the Mi 11 Ultra but barely anything for the Mi 11X series. Last week, Xiaomi’s VP Manu Jain teased one of the Mi 11X series devices and it confirms speculations of a rebranded Redmi K40 series. Prices and specifications are yet to be revealed.

Speculations have long suggested the Mi 11X series to be the Redmi K40 series with a new name. The Mi 11X series is said to be based on the Redmi K40 whereas the Mi 11X Pro could be based on the Redmi K40 Pro+. These phones could either phase out the older Mi 10T series devices, or push their prices further down.

Based on a couple of recent leaks, Xiaomi might launch the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro in India in the coming months. These premium phones could be based on the Redmi K40 series that launched in China previously. The exact specifications aren’t known yet but given Xiaomi’s penchant to rename its existing products, there might be no difference in the specifications between these premium series phones.

The leak comes courtesy of a tweet from a tipster who goes by the name of Kacper Skrzypek on Twitter. After digging in some codes, he found that the Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro could head to India as Mi branded devices. The codes also confirm the Mi 11X moniker. There will be a vanilla Mi 11X and a beefed-up Mi 11X Pro. Also Read - Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Ultra price in India tipped to be more than Rs 70,000, launch on April 23
