At the end of October, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 11 Pro in China, thereby releasing a genie. In four and a half months, the line has grown to nine models that are sold under different names and even different brands in different countries. Getting confused in this zoo is easier than not getting confused, and therefore we decided to prepare an article for you with a brief summary of all models. Let’s start with international devices, because with them everything is somewhat simpler. All prices are as of March 12th.

So, the base Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 . The most classic “redmic” without 5G support, but on a Qualcomm chipset – in this case, Snapdragon 680. Specifications include AMOLED screen with hertz (90 Hz, 6.43″, Full HD +), a quad camera (50 MP + 8 MP wide + two plugs), a 13-megapixel front camera and a 5000 mAh battery with support for 33 W fast charging.Like all international models, he received a good set of goodies: stereo, splash protection, audio jack, NFC, infrared port, and so on. Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is sold in Russia at a price of 26,990 rubles for the 4 + 64 GB version (promotional price – from 21,990 rubles).

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S exchanged Snapdragon 680 for MediaTek Helio G96 – and this is its main difference from the younger model. At the same time, the cameras were upgraded (108 megapixel base, 16 megapixel front camera, the rest unchanged) and, in fact, that’s it. Again 6.43 “AMOLED at 90 Hz, again a 5000 mAh 33 W battery. This smartphone can be bought in Russia at a price of 33,990 rubles (6 + 64 GB). This model also became the basis for the Poco M4 Pro – the only difference is in the design of the rear panel and the sensor of the main camera (64 MP instead of 108 MP) At the same time, Poco is much cheaper: only 22,490 rubles for the minimum version.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro differs from the “eski” in two aspects: a larger screen (6.67″, AMOLED, Full HD +, 120 Hz) and accelerated charging (67 W). Otherwise, everything is the same. In particular, the same cameras (108 MP base + 8 MP wide + two plugs + 16 MP front camera), the same MediaTek Helio G96 chipset and the same 5000 mAh battery. Well, or not the same, but the same capacity. For these improvements, Xiaomi asks not too a modest surcharge: the 8 + 128 GB version in Russia is priced at 41,990 rubles (the promotional price tag is 39,990 rubles).

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G , contrary to the name, differs not only in 5G support. It also replaced the chipset (Snapdragon again, but this time the much more powerful Snapdragon 695 – although it is the six hundredth series, it is cooler than the Snapdragon 765 from Pixel 5) and, suddenly, one of the two plugs was removed. The one that is not for macro, but for bokeh. Why the oldest global Redmi Note has the fewest cameras remains a mystery. In Russia, the device costs 44,990 rubles, the promotional price is 41,990 rubles. But you can buy for 33,990 rubles: this is how much Poco X4 Pro 5G costs, and this is exactly the same smartphone, only with a different logo. In India, it is also called Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro + , in China – Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E Pro . Four names, one and the same phone.

Now let’s move on to the Chinese line. It is opened by Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 4G – this is generally a stray guest who has nothing to do with Redmi Note, because it is a simplified Xiaomi Redmi 10 (2022) . Simplified, though not much: they cut out NFC and the depth sensor. Redmi 10 (2022) itself is a simplified version of Xiaomi Redmi 10 , in which instead of a triple tray there is a comboslot. That is, Redmi 10 has a triple tray, and 10 (2022) and Note 11 4G have a combo. The Indian exclusive Xiaomi Redmi 10 Power belongs to the same family, which also does not have NFC, but the battery is increased to 6000 mAh. Among other characteristics: 50 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP cameras, 8 MP front camera, 6.5 “Full HD + IPS screen with a frequency of 90 GHz, MediaTek Helio G88 chipset and a 5000 mAh battery with 18 W charging. you can buy Redmi 10, the price is 18,990 rubles.

Now let’s talk about real Redmi Note. The Chinese Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is equipped with a 6.6″ IPS screen with Full HD + resolution and a frequency of 90 Hz, a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset, a dual camera (50 MP + 8 MP wide), a 16 MP front camera, a 5000 mAh battery with support for 33 -W fast charging, stereo speaker, headphone jack, IR port and other less important goodies, but not NFC.In India, the same smartphone is called Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G , and its modification with NFC support called Poco M4 is presented to the global public Pro 5G… It can also be bought in Russia, the price for the minimum version is only 21,990 rubles.If the Poco logo confuses, then, according to rumors, this device will soon be re-released under the name Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S 5G , but will this model be available in Russia — is still a mystery.

But the Chinese Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro cannot be bought in Russia. In addition to China, it is only sold in India, where for some reason it is called Xiaomi 11i . But do not confuse it with Xiaomi Mi 11i – this is how POCO F3 / Redmi K40 is called in some countries, but this has nothing to do with Redmi Note 11 Pro. The Chinese firmware flaunts a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, a 6.67″ AMOLED screen with a frequency of 120 Hz, a 108 MP triple camera + 8 MP wide + 2 MP plug, a 16 MP front camera and the largest 5160 mAh battery in the line Not to say that this is much more than 5000 mAh, but still more.

There is an even cooler “redmic” in China – Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro + . He also got out of the sky only to India, where he is sold with the strange name Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge . Although, if you look at the differences between the devices, the name is not so strange: the pro-plus traded the largest battery for the fastest charging, the power of which in this model is 120 watts. Battery capacity – 4500 mAh.

And one more device. Probably the strangest in the entire line. This is the China-only Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E , the most affordable of the entire range, but outwardly resembling Realme or Vivo rather than Redmi. This smartphone is equipped with a 6.58″ IPS screen with Full HD + resolution (90Hz), dual camera (50MP + plug), MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, 5MP front camera and a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W charging. Why this ultra-budget model turned out to be part of the Redmi Note line, and I can’t even imagine why it was offended so much on cameras.

I hope this article helped you understand the range of Xiaomi Redmi Note 11. Which of the smartphones are you most interested in and why? Tell in the comments.
