Last month, Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 11, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro+ in China. Soon after its launch, the company confirmed that it sold 500,000 units within one hour of making the Note 11 series available for purchase. A fresh report by ThePIxel.vn talks about the arrival of the Note 11 series in Vietnam and global markets. The report reveals that the Note 11 lineup will have a completely different design and they will feature Snapdragon chipsets for markets outside China.

As it is known, the Redmi Note 11 is powered by the Dimensity 810 chip, whereas the Note 11 Pro and Pro+ are driven by the Dimensity 920 SoC. According to the publication, the Note 11 heading to Vietnam and other global markets will feature the Snapdragon chipset. The report also claims that the Snapdragon variants will be also heading to China with different monikers.

The report claims that the Snapdragon SoC powered Note 11 models are debuting in the first quarter of 2022. It is unclear why Xiaomi has decided to use Snapdragon SoCs instead of Dimensity chips on Note 11 series for global markets.

Tipster Chun has speculated that it could be because of the short amount of Dimensity chip stocked in Xiaomi’s facility. He had previously speculated that the recently unveiled Snapdragon 778G Plus and Snapdragon 695 could be present under the global editions of the Note 11 models.

In related news, a recent leak revealed Redmi Note 11 that debuted in India is expected to arrive as the Redmi Note 11T 5G. In addition, the Note 11 Pro and Pro+ are expected to debut as Xiaomi 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge. It remains to be seen whether India will also receive the Snapdragon editions of the Note 11 lineup.
