According to the released pictures, we can see that the new Xiaomi rear camera design is very irregular, which is different from the common design in the market.

When it comes to Xiaomi’s phone design, there seems to be a return to simplicity these days. A few years ago, with the development of mobile phone technology, the number of cameras in Xiaomi phones also increased. This trend culminated in the Mi 10 series, where the rear camera extends into the center of the phone’s back. But with the Mi 11 series, Xiaomi has returned to simple design and light packing, bringing a different visual experience to consumers.
