The new Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 smartphone will not be one, but four, all of which will be launched internationally. The flagship Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is the top model joined by the Redmi Note 11 Pro, Redmi Note 11S and the base Redmi Note 11. As always, the scope is a bit confusing, so let's start by exploring the Redmi. Keep an eye out for the 11 Pro 5G and keep working. The
Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G and the Note 11 Pro
Note 11 Pro 5G are the largest and most technologically impressive models in the Redmi Note 11 lineup, with a triple camera on the back. It has a 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The screen includes a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor delivers powerful performance with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The
5000mAh high-capacity battery should provide plenty of standby time, and the 67W fast charging system charges to 50% in just 15 minutes. It has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face unlock for security, dual speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, 64GB or 128GB internal storage. The Redmi Note 11 Pro is very similar to the 5G version, but swaps the processor to a MediaTek Helio G96 chip and adds another 2MP depth camera to the module.
Redmi Note 11 and Note 11S
The Redmi Note 11 and Note 11S both have a 6.43inch AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and the same security and audio features as the Pro models, but the 5,000mAh batteries get slower 33W fast charging. To make sure you’re really confused, the Note 11S gets the same camera system and processor as the Note 11 Pro (but not the 5G version), while the ordinary Note 11 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chip and different cameras. Here, you get a 50MP main camera, along with the 8MP wideangle and dual 2MP depth and macro cameras seen on the Note 11 Pro and Note 11S. The front camera has 13MP.
Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 11S in January, Note 11 Pro and Note 11 Pro 5G in February. Pricing has not been confirmed at the time of writing and will be updated here as it becomes available.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series will replace the Redmi Note 10 series launched in mid 2021. We tried the Redmi Note 10S but were disappointed by the lack of 5G connectivity.
