We already know the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro and 11 Pro 5G , two mid-range phones that promise to become one of the best-selling models in Spain during the present 2022 thanks to their good value for money.
Along with them, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 and 11S have also been presented, cheaper and focused on the entry range. Surely their adjusted price also makes them very popular, but the 11 Pro and 11 Pro 5G point right at the segment where most sales are concentrated in Spain.
Xiaomi offers us two very similar phones, with a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ screen , which is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color, and whose brightness reaches up to 1,200 nits. The 120 Hz refresh rate , with a 360 Hz touch panel, implies high fluidity.
Regarding the processor, in the Redmi Note 11 Pro we have an 8-core MediaTek Helio G96 with 4G connectivity. For its part, the 11 Pro 5G uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip, responsible for providing 5G coverage.
At the camera level, Xiaomi integrates a 108 MP f/1.9 main sensor (Samsung HM2) into both. It is accompanied by a 118º wide angle of 8 MP f / 2.2 and a macro camera of 2 MP f / 2.4 for photos of close details, in addition to the standard Redmi Note 11 Pro brings a fourth sensor of 2 MP f / 2.4 dedicated to depth .
The 16 MP f/2.4 selfie camera , stereo speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack are also missing. As usual in Xiaomi’s mid-range, it uses a side fingerprint reader , instead of on the screen. Of course, in return we enjoy IP53 resistance to splashes , unusual in this price range.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro 5G
The key difference between these two Xiaomi models is 5G, which not all users will need, so in this way it is possible to choose. For the rest, it changes the processor and the depth camera is omitted in the 5G model. Here are the full details:
- Screen: 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ (2,400 x 2,080 px), 120 Hz refresh rate (360 Hz touch).
- Processor: MediaTek Helio G96 (Redmi Note 11 Pro) / Snapdragon 695 (Redmi Note 11S Pro 5G).
- RAM memory: 6 GB or 8 GB LPDDR4X.
- Internal storage: 128 GB UFS 2.2, with MicroSD slot up to 1 TB.

Xiaomi has integrated 67 W fast charging in the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Pro 5G, which means reaching 100% capacity in just 36 minutes. As usual in this family, we have a 5,000 mAh battery that will allow us to finish the day without problems.
The 67W charger is included in the box, as is a clear rubber boot.
At the software level, the Redmi Note 11 range arrives in Spain without convincing at all: it brings the current MIUI 13 layer, but based on Android 11 instead of the current Android 12 . It is to be imagined that you will receive the update later, but for now we do not have dates.
