Da poco Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite debuted in both 4G variant and 5G variant. The second, specifically, is the one that interests us most as it is equipped with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G. It is an unprecedented SoC of which Xiaomi is the standard bearer, as usual. But the peculiarity of this device is not only the processor: it is also the processor thinner and lighter 5G smartphone on the market with a thickness of only 6.81 mm and a weight of 159 g. What allowed all this? A shell in magnesium alloy.
What made Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G the thinnest and lightest in the world? A particular construction in which BYD participated
The xiaomists will no doubt know who he is BYD. This is a company that will help (and is helping) Lei Jun's brand ad self-produce elements necessary for the construction of smartphones. Well, one of the first collaborations between the two companies, in the smartphone sector, is precisely the one that sees as the protagonist Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G. This device has been made the thinnest and lightest thanks to a specific construction in magnesium alloy. Usually the cases of smartphones are in aluminum alloy. But what does this entail?
The advantages of the magnesium alloy are low density, high resistence, higher shock load compared to aluminum alloy e excellent heat dissipation. In addition, magnesium alloys have certain anticorrosive properties and are used in the aviation industry, aerospace and chemistry. In short, it is a material that, if on the one hand it is ultra-resistant, on the other it is endowed with lightness and thinness. Going for a ride through the technical data sheets of the different smartphones, we have seen that so far no one has ever used this material.
As usual, Xiaomi proposes itself as innovative company, above the others, also for the materials used in the construction of their smartphones.
