Just days after the release of the Redmi Note 11 series in China, Xiaomi has now released the Android 11 based kernel sources for the Redmi Note 11 Pro. Codenamed Pissarro, the source codes can be viewed from GitHub. They may be of little importance to the bulk of ordinary users, but will surely be helpful to developers and sufficiently skilled tinkerers who may want to push their devices to the limits of their capabilities. The kernel source codes are important details that help developers build custom kernels and ROMS for the device.
The Redmi Note 11 series has three models on its lineup, namely Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro, and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. With the launch of the products in China, other markets including India, are primed for the release of the products obviously with some variation and possibly additional accessories. It is also speculated that the Redmi Note 11 and the Redmi Note 11 Pro could be called the Xiaomi 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge respectively in India.
While the Redmi Note 11 sports a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset, the two other models are powered by the more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 chip. The kernel source codes could indeed help developers explore how much performance improvement could be gotten from the MediaTek Dimensity chipset through custom ROM. It is speculated that Snapdragon-powered smartphones enjoy better development support than those powered by MediaTek SoCs.
Pricing and global availability details for the new lineup of the Xiaomi Note 11 series are awaited with much expectation. The coming days will give greater illumination to these details.
