Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro appears on MIUI Gallery source code

Thursday, 31 December 2020 at 05:56

Every year Xiaomi usually releases its flagship smartphone in February. However, the company accelerated the process and released Xiaomi Mi 11 earlier this week. We all know why Xiaomi did that. It wants to be the first to use the Snapdragon 888 SoC. At the launch event, there were expectations that the company will also release the Pro version. However, the company did not announce the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. The event only had the regular Xiaomi Mi 11 version.

However, there is now evidence that Xiaomi is indeed developing the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. This smartphone uses a curved display similar to the standard Mi 11 version. Recently, Xiaomi updated the MIUI Gallery app to version 2.2.17.18. XDA senior member, Kacskrz, found evidence of the existence of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro in the MIUI Gallery source code. A string array named "magic_system_model" in the MIUI Gallery application has been updated to "Mi 11" and "Mi 11 Pro".

In addition, a class named "CurvedScreenUtil" uses a method named "isCurvedScreen" to check whether the phone is a curved screen. The result is "true" which confirms that the device has a curved display. The news also pointed out that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will also support MEMC video frame supplement, video real-time SDR to HDR, and other functions. Since these features were not announced at the press conference earlier this week, they may be exclusive features of the Pro version.

As of now, there is no information regarding the exact launch date for this device. However, it is sure to arrive in the first quarter of next year. While we wait for the arrival of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, let us look at the specs sheet of the Xiaomi Mi 11
