After teasing for days, Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi 11 Prime and Redmi 11 Prime 5G in India. The two smartphones were announced alongside the Redmi A1. These three handsets are part of Xiaomi’s Special Diwali With Mi Launches. Let’s take a look at the former two phones in this article. To learn about the latter device, check out our coverage on the same.
Redmi 11 Prime Series Specifications
The Redmi 11 Prime series consists of two models, namely Redmi 11 Prime and Redmi 11 Prime 5G. As the names suggest, the first one is limited to 4G, whereas the second one offers support for 5G.
The Redmi 11 Prime is the same as the recently launched Poco M5 with a different rear design. On the other hand, the Redmi 11 Prime 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11E from China, which also goes by Redmi 10 5G in Southeast Asia.
Talking about specifications, both smartphones flaunt a 6.58-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2408 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 90Hz refresh rate, and a dewdrop notch. They also boot the same MIUI 13 software based on Android 12.
Further, they sport a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 5MP selfie camera. The 4G model has an additional 2MP macro snapper.
The major difference between the two is their chipsets. The 4G variant is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC with Bluetooth 5.3, while the 5G version houses a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip with Bluetooth 5.1. Either way, they come with LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, and a dedicated MicroSD card slot.
Their remaining features include dual-band WiFi, GNSS, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 5,000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging support (ships with a 22.5W fast charger).
Both of them measure 164 x 76.1 x 8.9 mm in dimensions. However, the 4G model is slightly heavier at 201g compared to the 5G variant’s 200g weight.
