Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE to launch in India on September 29
Xiaomi had unveiled the new Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE globally yesterday evening – along with a couple of other flagship devices and tablets. Now the Chinese smartphone maker has announced that it is bringing the phone to India on September 29.
The phone is essentially the Mi 11 Lite 4G in a new avatar but with a new name and comes with 5G connectivity. Even the “NE” in the name also means New Edition. The highlight of Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is its slim form factor and weight – or rather lack of it.
To recall, the Mi 11 Lite 4G was recently introduced in June and we heard rumours that the phone may be discontinued to make way for the one with 5G connectivity. The company, however, denied the rumours stating that the 4G variant will not be discontinued even after the launch of the 5G variant.

SpaceX has launched the world’s first all-civilian spaceflight
SpaceX launched the world’s first all-civilian spaceflight on Wednesday night, taunting everyone else with the illusory hope of one day escaping this planet — if only temporarily.
Launched at 8:02 p.m. from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Inspiration4 mission was propelled by SpaceX’s partially reusable Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket and utilized the autonomous Crew Dragon Resilience. Though the Crew Dragon spacecraft is actually capable of carrying up to seven people, only four climbed aboard this expensive joyride to space.
Most importantly, all of them are civilians, making the Inspiration4 the first spaceflight not to include any professional astronauts.
