After several teasers that indeed achieved their purpose of hyping the device, Xiaomi‘s Redmi brand has finally launched the Redmi Note 11 series. The products truly meet up with their billing in all aspects – from the processors, design, and other hardware features to the pricing.
The lineup is made up of the Redmi Note 11, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro+. The two Pro models came with almost similar specifications, save for a few differences. They are both powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G chipset which brings 5G. The processor is manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process with two Cortex-A78 cores which provides an excellent balance of performance and power consumption.
As per appearance, the Redmi Note 11 series adopts a new trendy small vertical edge design. The design is similar to the iPhone 13’s right-angle frame design. The device is equipped with a 2.5D AG glass body.
