Yesterday, Redmi debuted the Redmi Note 11T series in China. At the event, the company also introduced the Redmi Buds 4 series and Redmibook Pro 2022 Ryzen Edition. The Xiaomi Band 7 was also announced at this conference.

The aforementioned products had already been confirmed before yesterday’s event. But what wasn’t revealed prior to the conference was the Redmi Note 11 SE. Though the phone sounds new, it is nothing but a Redmi Note 10 5G redux.

The Redmi Note 10 5G was announced in the first half of 2021. The smartphone also goes by the name of Redmi Note 10T 5G and Poco M3 Pro 5G with a tweaked exterior look.

A year after its debut, Redmi has once again released this handset under a new name — Redmi Note 11 SE. However, unlike the previous three variants, this one doesn’t feature the third 2MP macro camera on the rear. Further, its design is near-identical to the Poco M3 Pro 5G instead of the Redmi Note 10 5G.

The phone arrives in two memory configurations, such as 4GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB. They are priced at ¥1,099 ($165) and ¥1,399 ($210) respectively, The device can be availed in either Shadow Black or Deep Sea Blue color options.

The handset is up for pre-order and will be available for purchase starting May 31. For a limited time, as part of the 618 promotions, the base model will cost only ¥999 ($150).

Though the pricing sounds cheap, it actually isn’t. The original Redmi Note 10 5G was also introduced at the same price and it was also available at ¥999 for a limited time.
