Xiaomi has started the build-up to its 11.11 sale. On Monday 26th October 2026, the company’s global X account posted a teaser for the Xiaomi 11.11 Mega Sale 2026, promising “incredible savings” and “exclusive deals”. The poster lines up a Xiaomi phone, a REDMI phone and a smartwatch next to a washing machine, a TV, a robot vacuum and an electric scooter. That’s about all it says. There are no dates, no product names and no prices, and the link sends you to Xiaomi’s Singapore store.

11.11 is 11th November. It started in China as an online shopping day, and the first one in 2009 had just 27 merchants on Alibaba’s Tmall store. Xiaomi has since taken it to its stores outside China. It ran an 11.11 Mega Sale on its Malaysian store last year.

What’s on sale so far

Not much, yet. The Singapore store that Xiaomi’s post links to has no 11.11 page as of Monday afternoon. It’s still running an Autumn Sale until 27th October, with the Xiaomi 15T Pro in 12GB RAM and 512GB storage at SGD 749.

Saudi Arabia is further along. Xiaomi’s Saudi store already has a Double 11 2026 page with a countdown on it. From 25th to 31st October, vacuum cleaners start at SAR 499, with up to SAR 600 off, and wearables and power banks are 20% off. Coupons in Xiaomi’s app take SAR 30 off phones and tablets, and 10% off TVs, robot vacuums and other products that aren’t phones or tablets. That’s the clearest picture yet of what 11.11 looks like on Xiaomi’s own stores this year, and the big discounts are on home appliances and accessories, not phones.

What about Kenya?

Xiaomi’s Kenyan store has no 11.11 page. Its Black Friday page still shows last year’s Xiaomi x Jumia Black Friday Pre-heat, and Xiaomi Kenya’s X account hasn’t mentioned a sale in its posts this past week.

That matches how Xiaomi has sold to Kenyans before. Its year-end sale in Kenya has been Black Friday, not 11.11. Last year, Xiaomi Kenya started Black Friday early and ran it for a whole month, from 31st October to 30th November 2025, through its official store on Jumia Kenya. When we covered last year’s deals, the Redmi Note 14 was set to drop by at least KES 3,000 and the Redmi A3x by at least KES 2,000. The year before, Xiaomi’s Black Friday deals in Kenya ran on Jumia and at its promoter stores, with phones from KES 8,999.

So if you’re in Kenya, Xiaomi’s global teaser isn’t your sale. Singapore dollars and Saudi riyals on Xiaomi’s foreign stores don’t tell you what a REDMI phone will cost at Jumia next month. If Xiaomi Kenya repeats last year’s calendar, its sale would open on Saturday 31st October, eleven days before 11.11. It hasn’t confirmed that. Until it does, Xiaomi’s Kenyan store and its Jumia shop are where the Kenyan prices will show up, and last year they arrived in the last days of October.
