Straight edge design and height characteristics
The Redmi were progressing within the Xiaomi catalog as they gained features from higher ranges. For example, just take a look at phones like the Redmi Note 10 Pro to discover how much they offer for a reasonable price. So, having that starting point so high, The Redmi Note 11 had to raise the bar. And they have.
The three mobiles equip MediaTek Dimensity processors with higher performance as the price advances a little step: the Redmi Note 11 includes a Dimensity 810 and the Redmi Note 11 Pro equips and Redmi Note 11 Pro + assemble the Dimensity 920. The mobiles are accompanied with 6 and 8 GB of RAM; combining it with 128 and 256 GB storage. The trio keeps space for SD cards.
The screen maintains the high diagonal and the panel technology, at least in the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro +: both offer AMOLED technology on a 6.67-inch Full HD + screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 360 Hz touch sampling. For its part, the Redmi Note 11 is the most austere: its 6.5-inch screen is LCD and at 90 Hz. In all three cases it appears cut out with an upper hole for the front camera.
The design chosen for the Redmi is marked by the straight cuts while maintaining quite a few matches with the latest iPhones. To differentiate itself, the brand is committed to including symmetrical speakers signed by JBL, one on each edge (lower and upper). The Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro + equip Hi-Res sound and are compatible with Dolby Atmos.
Many cameras with the 108 megapixel sensor as the protagonist
Multiple cameras are a constant in any mobile launch, also in the new Redmi. There stands out the 108 megapixel main sensor that equip the Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 11 Pro; with one of 50 megapixels for the simplest of the three, the Redmi Note 11 to dry.
All three phones feature a Wide-angle lens for 8 megapixel secondary camera. And on the Pro models there is a third camera dedicated to capturing depth; with the same front component for the trio: a 16 megapixel sensor at the front, under the hole made in the screen.
The battery suffers strange swings as we move up the range: 5,000 mAh in the Note 11, 5,150 mAh in the Pro and 4,500 mAh in the Redmi Note 11 Pro. The latter is reinforced with the fast charging of 120 W; the Pro goes down to 65 W and the basic model “settles” with a 33 W load. All three go to market with Android 11 and the MIUI 12.5 custom layer.
