108MP camera, 120Hz OLED display, and 120W fast charging for next to nothing
The Redmi Note series is known for offering plenty of bang for the buck and democratizing much of the tech found in high-end Android flagships. They are also among the most popular Android smartphones on the market, with Xiaomi selling millions of units every year. Just six months after launching the excellent Redmi Note 10 series, the company has already announced the Redmi Note 11 lineup, which look like raising the bar for what mid-range Android smartphones offer yet again.
Building on its predecessors, the Redmi Note 11 series packs a 108MP camera, 120Hz AMOLED display, a refined design, and up to 120W fast charging speeds. Xiaomi offers the Redmi Note 11 in three different flavors, catering to consumers at various price points.
Redmi Note 11 Pro and 11 Pro+
The Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro+ pack the same specs barring a few smaller differences. They continue to feature a 120Hz 6.67-inch Samsung AMOLED display, with the touch sampling rate bumped to 360Hz. The bezels have been reduced to 1.75mm, while the hole-punch is also smaller than before at 2.96mm.
Unlike the Redmi Note 10 Pro series, Xiaomi uses a 108MP primary camera on both Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro+.

The phones differ in their battery capacity and charging speeds this time around. The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ features 120W fast charging speeds, though this comes at the expense of a slightly smaller 4,500mAh battery. Xiaomi claims the phone can be charged from 0-100 percent in just 15 minutes. There’s another charging mode in which the device takes slightly longer —19 minutes — to charge while keeping the temperature below or equal to 38C. The company is also bundling the 120W power adapter with the phone.
On the other hand, the regular 11 Pro features a bigger 5,160mAh battery with 67W fast charging support, which is still plenty quick.
Redmi Note 11
The Redmi Note 11 is the cheapest phone in the lineup, with a noticeably cut-down spec sheet and price tag to match. It skimps on the 120Hz display, 108MP camera, and 67/120W charging speeds to achieve the more affordable price tag.
