Hisense mobile division has gained a reputation in recent time for its e-ink display-packing models ideal for reading. The company is bringing the kindle experience not only to smartphones but also to tablets. But that isn’t enough to grab a profitable size o the smartphone market. to this end, the company made a foray into the 5G phone market with the launch of the F50 5G recently.
Hisense has now launched a second 5G model dubbed Hisense R11 5G. Unfortunately, the design and hardware of the 5G phone aren’t spectacular despite carrying a high price tag. One would have expected that an unpopular mobile phone brand like Hisense should launch phones that are mainly cost-effective, but this is not the case at all with this new 5G phones.
The R11 5G packs a decent 5010mAh battery life which is good for a 5G phone. But the phone only comes with support for 18W fast charging support. The display size is yet to be disclosed but the phone utilises a waterdrop notch design.
The phone is powered by a UNISOC tiger T7510 processor which packs a 5G modem. The chip brings support for dual-mode 5G and supports all domestic 5G frequency bands in China. The chip isn’t likely a high-performance one as it is built on a 12nm process compared to 7nm process which most high-performance 5G chips are built. 
The processor teams up with 6GB of RAM while there is 128GB of storage onboard. The device is priced at 4,999 yuan, a price that would scare away potential buyers due to the availability of far cheaper options with lesser price tags.
