Xiaomi is all set to unveil the Redmi Note 11 series tomorrow (January 26) for the international markets. We know that one of the models in the lineup, the Redmi Note 11S, will be heading to India on February 9. Today, we have learned that the Redmi Note 11 will be launching in Nepal on January 27. At the same time, the company has also confirmed certain features of the vanilla model.

The global wing of Xiaomi hasn’t revealed any specs of the upcoming Redmi Note 11 series. On the other hand, the Indian division has not only disclosed the design of the Redmi Note 11S but also has set up a dedicated page to tease the features.

The Nepalese division has gone ahead and confirmed some of the specs that have already leaked. But unfortunately, that tweet has been taken down now.

According to that tweet, the Redmi Note 11 will indeed arrive with a 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display. For the unaware, the Redmi Note 10 has a regular 60Hz FHD+ AMOLED screen. Further, the same deleted tweet also said that the phone will feature dual speakers.

Talking about other features, a retailer listing had recently revealed that the smartphone will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset, a 50MP quad-camera setup comprising of an ultra-wide as well as a macro shooter, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Since the device will go official tomorrow, we expect to learn everything about it, except for the price in Nepal, which we think will be disclosed a day later.

Xiaomi has confirmed to launch the Redmi Note 11 series in international markets on January 26. The company is yet to reveal the models in the family. However, we have already learned about a few of them. In fact, thanks to a retailer listing, we now know almost everything about the vanilla variant.

The baseline Redmi Note 11 has been listed by retailer Shopee on its website with an ₱8,999 ($175) price tag for the 4GB + 64GB variant. The webpage was spotted by Twitter user @swayneverrmind (via Xiaomiui, TechInsider).

The page not only includes the entire spec sheet of the smartphone but also its images and price tag. But what’s bizarre is that the features mentioned in one of the pictures are different than those in the description section.

According to the image, the vanilla Redmi Note 11 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset. It will sport a 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, dual stereo speakers, and a 50MP quad-camera setup consisting of an ultra-wide unit and a macro shooter. Finally, it will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

However, the product description says something else altogether. Taking a closer look at the specifications, we realized that the specifications mentioned here are of Redmi 10, which is also known as Redmi 10 Prime in India and Redmi Note 11 4G (lacks 2MP depth sensor) in China.

If the specs mentioned in the picture are true, then the international Redmi Note 11 will be somewhat similar to its predecessor Redmi Note 10, which was discontinued soon due to semiconductor shortages.

Xiaomi had announced today that the Redmi Note series will be getting two new iterations each year from now as part of a new strategy. This has been implemented to meet the needs of a more diversified userbase. The strategy is probably why we have got the Redmi Note 11 series barely seven months after the Redmi Note 10 series hit the market.

Xiaomi has been kind enough to provide plenty of teasers over the month, revealing some key details about the upcoming Redmi Note 11 series. We have summarized these below to assist you in checking if the phones are worth your money.

Design & Display

The Redmi Note 11 has a much-altered look despite being launched only a few months after its past iteration. The back of the phone resembles the recently launched Redmi 10 Prime thanks to similar camera module designs on both. However, the main aspect of the new look is a boxier body, with a flat back panel and unrounded edges. The phone also measures quite thin – just 8.3mm including the camera module.

As for the display on the Redmi Note 11 series, it is expected to be an AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel will be surrounded by slim bezels and have a small camera punch-hole aligned to the center.

Cameras on the Redmi Note 11 series

Speaking of cameras, the Redmi Note 11 series will feature a triple camera setup at the rear, although the non-Pro variant may come with just two. Rumors have it that the vanilla Note 11 will feature a 50-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system.

The Note 11 Pro and Pro+, on the other hand, will be equipped with a 108-megapixel primary sensor, complemented by an 8-megapixel ultrawide shooter and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, it may come with a 16-megapixel front camera.

Other Specifications

There are speculations that the vanilla Redmi Note 11 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset while the Pro model will feature a Dimensity 920 chipset. The topmost Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is rumored to pack a Dimensity 1200U chipset. Yep, MediaTek all around this year.

The battery on at least the Pro and Pro+ variants will likely be 5,000mAh. The Pro+ will feature 120W superfast charging while the other two are expected to come with 67W support.

A recent teaser had revealed the presence of an X-axis linear vibration motor aimed at delivering shorter and crisper vibrations. The phone has been confirmed to have NFC hardware for contactless payment as well as Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6 support. All models will retain the headphone jack.

Release Date & Software

A recent JD.com listing had revealed a November 1 shipment date for the Redmi Note 11 series in China. The phones are currently up for pre-orders in the country. A global launch should follow soon.

There is no indication of the software version the phones will be running out of the box yet but we wouldn’t get our hopes too high. Android 12 is still under testing and there’s no sign of MIUI 13 yet so it’s likely that the phones will be coming with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

Variants & Price

A listing had revealed that the Redmi Note 11 series will be available in 6GB+128GB 8GBRAM+128 GB, and 8GB+256GB RAM and storage variants respectively. Rumors say that these variants may cost 1,599 Yuan (~$248), 1,799 Yuan (~$279), and 1,999 Yuan (~$311) for the Redmi Note 11 Pro.

The Note 11 Pro will come in colors like Mysterious Blackland, Shallow Dream Galaxy, Time Quiet Purple, and Misty Forest. On the other hand, the Note 11 Pro+ will come in the same three colors except Shallow Dream Galaxy.
