The post Redmi Note 11S 2nd flash sale on Feb 28: Price, specifications appeared first on Gizmochina.

After teasing for days, Xiaomi finally announced the Redmi Note 11 and the Redmi Note 11S in India earlier today. However, unlike the Redmi Note 10 series launch event that happened in March 2021, this year’s conference was not so interesting despite the live stream being AI-generated. Because the products are sort of boring as compared to last gen.

The newer models do bring some upgrades but then again, that’s what the latest generation should offer. Anyhow, the pricing of the new smartphones is unlike Xiaomi.

In a nutshell, we really don’t think that Xiaomi India ‘Set the Bar’ with the Redmi Note 11S.

Xiaomi India had been hyping the launch of the Redmi Note 11S in the country even before the device went official in other markets. Specifically, the company uses the term ‘Set The Bar’ to promote this phone.

But deep down we all, including Xiaomi, know that the company had actually ‘Set the Bar’ last year with the India-exclusive Redmi Note 10 Pro.

For those unaware, the Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in India is not available anywhere else. This phone packs all the features of the Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in other international markets, except for the 108MP primary camera.

The device uses a 64MP main camera. As a result, it debuted at ₹3,000 cheaper than the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, which is actually the Redmi Note 10 Pro that’s available elsewhere.

This handset was introduced at ₹15,999 for the base 6GB + 64GB memory configuration. Almost a year later, Xiaomi launches the same variant of the Redmi Note 11S in India a bit higher at ₹16,499.

For starters, the Redmi Note 11S is not a successor of the Redmi Note 10 Pro. It actually succeeds the Redmi Note 10S, which debuted at ₹14,999 for 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

The Redmi Note 11S is a better handset than its predecessor. But it’s definitely not on par with the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Because the latter not only offers a matte rear glass finish but a better chipset in the form of Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G and a capable 5MP telemacro camera with autofocus.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro went through multiple price hikes and the base variant was discontinued long ago. Anyway, the mid 6GB + 128GB version and the top 8GB + 128GB are still on sale for ₹17,999 and ₹18,999 respectively. 

In other words, the handset is only ₹500 costlier than the same memory configurations of the Redmi Note 11S. In our opinion, one should better get the older phone than the newer one.

The Redmi Note 11S is a good smartphone standalone. However, its pricing makes the year-old Redmi Note 10 Pro a better deal in India. Having said that, we are not sure how long Xiaomi will continue selling the last-gen model. 

What are your thoughts on the Redmi Note 11S in India? Do you think Xiaomi should have retained its predecessor’s price?  Let us know in the comment section below.

The post Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11S launched in India with 90Hz AMOLED display, MIUI 13, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi Note 11S is scheduled to launch in India on February 9. Ahead of that, Xiaomi has been teasing the features of the smartphone though we already know everything about it. Today, the company revealed the colors the phone will be available in.

According to a tweet by Manu Kumar Jain, Managing Director of Xiaomi India, the Redmi Note 11S will be offered in three colors. They are officially called Horizon Blue, Space Black, and Polar White.

For the uninitiated, the handset comes in the very same three colors in other markets. However, they are called Twilight Blue, Graphite Gray, and Pearl White in those regions. It is not surprising as Xiaomi is known for renaming colors in India.

As far as specs are concerned, the Redmi Note 11S features a 6.43-inch FHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display, MediaTek Helio G96 chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 108MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP quad-camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, IP53-certified for splash resistance, MIUI 13 based on Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

The Redmi Note 11S is rumored to arrive in three memory configurations, such as 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB in India. They are said to cost ₹16,999, ₹17,999, and ₹19,999 respectively.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi confirmed to launch the Redmi Note 11S in India on February 9. Yesterday, this smartphone went official alongside the rest of the Redmi Note 11 international models at the company’s first global launch event of 2022. Now, according to a teaser, it seems like the Redmi Note 11S could be accompanied by one of its siblings in India.

The Redmi India official Twitter handle tweeted a cryptic tweet a few minutes back. The image in the tweet clearly states ‘THE BEASTS ARE COMING’. Even the tweet itself reads “We are here to #SetTheBar and make it 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦!”

Hence, we think that Xiaomi may announce yet another Redmi Note 11 device alongside the Redmi Note 11S in India. Although the company is yet to confirm the second model, our bets are on the vanilla Redmi Note 11.

For the unaware, the standard Redmi Note 11 has a 6.43-inch 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 13MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

The Redmi Note 11S, on the other hand, has a faster MediaTek Helio G96 chip, a 108MP primary camera, and a 16MP selfie camera. The rest of the specs are the same as the vanilla model, except for memory configurations.

The post Redmi Note 11 may launch alongside Redmi Note 11S in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, Xiaomi‘s sub-brand Redmi announced that the Redmi Note 11S will launch on Feb 9 2022 in India. The device was previously confirmed to feature an AMOLED display, and now, a new leak has revealed the entire spec sheet of the device along with its expected pricing.

Tipster Yogesh Brar recently tweeted out the entire spec list of the upcoming device along with its pricing and OS version. According to Brar, the Redmi Note 11S will get a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate. It will run the 4G enabled MediaTek Helio G96 SoC which offers slight improvements over the current Helio G95 featured in the Note 10S.

The device will be available in India in 4GB and 6Gb RAM options will offer 64GB and 128GB storage. The smartphone will house a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

For photography, the phone will have a 108MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP quad-camera setup which is mostly in line with the previous leaks other than the previous one stating that the device will have a triple camera setup.

Going by the previous leaks, these cameras can be a 108-megapixel primary Samsung HM2 camera, an 8 megapixel Sony IMX3555 ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2 megapixel OV2a OmniVision macro sensor. Additionally, the device is also said to come with a 13MP selfie snapper.

Yogesh Brar states that the Indian version of the Redmi Note 11S may run Android 11 based MIUI 12.5 out of the box, but since the global version is getting MIUI 13 out of the box, the same may be the case for the Indian variant too.

Coming to the device’s pricing, the tipster has revealed that the device will be going for Rs.1000-2000 more than the Note 10S, which is currently retailing for Rs. 14,999 ($200) for the 6GB+64GB variant(base), so we can expect the Note 11S to start around Rs.16,000-17,000 ($214 to $227).
