Beijing, CHINA, October 28, 2021 – Today, tech giant, Xiaomi, has introduced three powerful smartphones at the mid-range level — Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro, and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The only difference between the two pro devices is that the pro-plus version supports 120W fast charging, while the standard pro has a larger battery.
Xiaomi looks to have raised the bar for mid-range phones with the Pro versions, which include a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 108MP primary camera, and up to 120W fast charging capabilities, all of which are Redmi firsts. The selfie snapper has a punch-hole cutout, flat corners comparable to iPhones, and a rectangular camera module on the Redmi Note 11 series phones. Here are the pricing, characteristics, and availability for the Redmi Note 11 series.
Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro+
On the outside, these two phones are identical. The front panel contains a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, as well as a 2.96mm diameter selfie camera punch-hole.
On the inside, there’s a Dimensity 920 chipset and three memory configurations to choose from: 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM, 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM, and 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+’s most striking feature is its 120W fast charging, which charges the 4,500mAh battery in just 15 minutes. Xiaomi demonstrated this by having a stage actor hold his breath for 15 minutes and 5 seconds while a demo unit charged.
If you choose the normal pro phone, the charging rate drops to 67W, which is still quite fast, and you receive a larger 5,160mAh battery.
Only three active cameras are present on the back of the phone: a 108MP primary camera with a Samsung HM2 sensor, which was lifted from the preceding Redmi Note 10 Pro, an 8MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view, and a 2MP telemacro camera. A 16MP sensor is used in the front-facing camera. The phone contains a 3.5mm audio connector and stereo speakers tuned by JBL. They run MIUI 12.5 on top of Android 11.
The dual-SIM Redmi Note 11 Pro phones do not feature a microSD card slot. They run MIUI 12.5 on top of Android 11.

On the rear of the phone, there are two cameras: a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP secondary depth sensor for portraiture. On the front, there’s a 16MP front camera for selfies and video chats. It comes pre-installed with Android 11 with the MIUI 12.5 overlay. 5G, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, USB Type-C connector, and Bluetooth 5.0 are among the connectivity options. For further security, a fingerprint sensor is installed on the side.
The MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU for gaming powers the Redmi Note 11.
