Xiaomi reportedly readying Mi 11 Pro for February 2021 launch

The phone will presumably have the same QHD+ display as the Mi 11.

What you need to know

Xiaomi is said to be prepping a Mi 11 Pro for launch in the first quarter of 2021.
Not much is known about the device, but a new leak suggests the phone's display will be the same as the regular Mi 11.
The Chinese giant launched the Mi 11 earlier this month, making it the first phone to ship with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888.

When Xiaomi unveiled the Snapdragon 888-powered Mi 11 a couple of days ago, a glaring omission from the event was the Pro variant of the phone, which the company normally launches alongside the regular Mi flagship. If you were concerned about the fate of what will likely be one of the best Android phones of the next generation, worry not!

A new leak from China reveals the company is planning on launching a Pro variant of its phone as usual, though it's decided on adopting a staggered launch this time around. A Weibo post from tipster Digital Chat Station reveals the company will be launching the Mi 11 Pro sometime after the Spring Festival (mid-February), as noted by the folks at Android Authority. That timeline also lines up with the launch of the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro, which were unveiled back in February this year.

While not many other details about the phone are known, Digital Chat Station also suggests that the phone's display specs, at least, will be the same as the regular Mi 11. That's definitely not a bad thing, though, since the Mi 11 boasts a 6.81-inch OLED display with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That's about as good a screen as you can get these days.

The phone will likely also feature the same Snapdragon 888 as the Mi 11 and not include a charger in the box, just like its cheaper sibling. How the phone aims to earn its 'Pro' moniker, then, remains to be seen, but the likely culprits would be upgraded cameras and maybe faster fast charging. We'll know more next year.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
