Back in 2021, the Chinese giant Xiaomi introduced a flagship model, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. It’s an upgraded version compared to the base model Xiaomi Mi 11, with some of the biggest changes being in the cameras.
We know exactly where you can buy it for an absolutely unreal price even in 2023.
Unreal price for the second-best Xiaomi smartphone at 2021!
The international portal DHgate with a verified seller of Chinese smartphones comes with an offer that has no equal on the market. They’re the only ones who now have the excellent Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro smartphone at unbeatable prices.
The smartphone is available in memory variants 8+128 GB, 8+256 GB, and also the top 12+256 GB version. This is a Chinese version of the phone with the original Chinese MIUI, so out of the box the phone includes only the English language. The seller installs Google apps, but you can also reflash it with the local Xiaomi.EU system, which includes all languages, including Slovak and Czech. All instructions can be found on Miuios.cz.
Before you buy, you also need to know that these are used phones without original packaging, which is why the price is so low. However, the phones show either no signs of use or only very minimal ones. On YouTube, we found a German unboxing of the Mi 11 Ultra model from the same seller. If you’re not too picky and you want a TOP smartphone for 3 hundred, you’ll definitely be happy with Mi 11 Pro on DHGate.
In the product description, the seller directly guarantees customs-free delivery and adds that they’ll pay the customs fees and VAT for you. Shipping is completely free, and delivery is handled via the shipping company YunExpress, which is also used by the best Chinese e-shop TradingShenzen. This is a verified seller, recommended to us by a contact of ours directly from DHGate.
Important: Place your DHgate order exclusively through the Chrome browser (ideally in incognito mode) on a computer, or on your smartphone via their app. However, you also need to open the mobile app through Chrome, otherwise you will lose our customer support. If payment by credit/debit card from your bank doesn’t work, set up Curve or Revolut service. Payments through these services work for 100%.
💡 Editorial note: Since these are used and refurbished phones, some customers have encountered issues with the phones such as faulty displays, WiFi modules, and other hardware faults. However, 90% of smartphones work perfectly. You place your order at your own risk.

Firmware: What’s the difference between Xiaomi.EU and Global Mi?
Xiaomi.EU is a community ROM—it’s a modified system developed by the community around Xiaomi. This system is maintained by the Czech/Slovak Miuios.cz community. Global Mi is basically the official global system from Xiaomi that Xiaomi puts into its European phones.
The main and important difference is that on Xiaomi.EU, NFC payments work via Google Pay, but on Global Mi they don’t. Since the system is installed on the phone via flashing, Global Mi hasn’t passed the Safetynet security check. However, this is already handled in the Xiaomi.EU system. If you want to use Google Pay payments, you need to take this into account.
Smartphone in the Chinese version
For the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro model, only the Chinese version is sold, and Xiaomi has essentially already confirmed that the Pro model won’t be released in a global version. That said, it doesn’t prevent you from using the smartphone in Europe. Thanks to the Snapdragon 888 processor, the smartphone supports all networks in Europe, including the B20 LTE band.
We’re using the Chinese version of the Mi 11 model ourselves, and the phone works without any issues, including the 4G network and NFC payments. The smartphone arrives with the Chinese MIUI version, which includes Chinese and English.
The seller installs Google Play services on the phone, so it’s usable right after unboxing. Later, you’ll be able to install the custom MIUI system from the local Miuios.cz community, which is already working on translating the system.
If you don’t have experience installing a system, over time the seller’s offer should include an installation service for this modified ROM. For example, for the Mi 11 model, this service is available for a fee of just 15 €.
Three elegant color options
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will come to our market in three different color options. Specifically, that’s black, green, and a subtle light purple. All three color variants will really suit it. With multiple finishes, everyone will surely find their perfect match.
Flagship 120 Hz display
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro hits the market with the same display as the base Xiaomi Mi 11. We can look forward to a 6.81″ Samsung AMOLED E4 panel with 2K resolution (3200 x 1440 pixels), pixel density of 551 PPI, a sampling rate of 480 Hz, or a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Of course, the display is protected by the best protective glass on the market, named Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. In the relatively small cutout in the top-left corner, there’s the selfie camera with a resolution of 20 MPx and an aperture of f/2.4.
Performance is no issue
Under the hood of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, you’ll find a flagship chipset from US-based Qualcomm — Snapdragon 888 5G. Gamers will also appreciate the upgraded cooling system, which ensures maximum CPU performance even during long sessions.
Regarding the improved thermal flow, we can’t forget to mention the massive 5000 mAh battery either. Besides its large capacity, it stands out mainly for the technology it’s made with.
The silicon-oxygen anode battery in the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro offers greater capacity in the same large body (compared to a graphite battery) and less heating, which means you can charge this smartphone at 67 W wired as well as wirelessly.
Xiaomi also introduced an extremely powerful 120 W wired and 80 W wireless charger, which will be available when you buy the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro for a small extra charge. For now, though, we don’t know whether this special offer will also be available on the global market.
It also features Dolby Atmos support and stereo speakers from the renowned audio equipment manufacturer Harman Kardon. The audiovisual experience will definitely be at a very high level.
The cameras we’ve been waiting for
The Xiaomi Mi 11 is a great smartphone at an affordable price, but in terms of cameras it’s rather average. For demanding photographers, there’s the new Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, which brings many impressive improvements.
In the spotlight, we got the 50 MPx sensor from Samsung ISOCELL GN2. It offers a size of almost 1″ (specifically 1/1.12″) and a pixel size of 1.40 µm. The main sensor is joined by a 13 MPx wide-angle lens with a 123° field of view and an 8 MPx telemacro sensor.
There’s also support for 8K video at 30 FPS, 50 MPx digital zoom, optical image stabilization (OIS), and slow-motion video at 1920 FPS. There’s no doubt that this smartphone will offer truly premium cameras that can compete with the very best on the market.
Compared to the base Mi 11, Xiaomi has also added IP68 protection. IP68 means full resistance to dust and immersion in water. It also includes the latest Wi-Fi 6, LPDDR5 RAM, and fast UFS 3.1 storage.
