Xiaomi has just presented its most advanced and expensive mid-range in Spain. It arrives as a 400 euro / dollar device with interesting hardware, but it is difficult for us to focus on the current mid-range. This is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus , a terminal with an infinite name loaded with very TOP features that will quickly convince you. Of course, it is not the typical Redmi of 199 euros / dollars, it costs 399 euros / dollars in its cheapest version. Read on to find out more about it!
This is the new Redmi Note 11 of 400 euros: the most expensive so far
It seems that Xiaomi has been serious about raising prices and has included a base cost of 399 euros / dollars to its new terminal. It presents it as the most powerful and advanced 2022 mid-range in its catalogue. So much so that it has several surnames so that there is no doubt.
The new Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G is a mid-range terminal with some features inherited from the high-end. You should not confuse it with a high-end, but in some sections you will have an experience very similar to buying a smartphone for 1,000 euros / dollars.
This is not the case with the design, which is shared with the current Redmi Note 11 Pro . It arrives with flat frames , a glass back, and a fairly standard camera module. The front is very well streamlined, with a hole for the front camera and a slightly thicker bezel at the bottom.
Features of the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G
- 6.67-inch screen:
- AMOLED
- FullHD+
- 120 Hz refresh rate
- MediaTek Dimension 920 processor
- 6 or 8 GB of RAM
- 128 or 256 GB of internal storage
- 108+8+2 MP rear camera
- 16 MP front camera
- Metal and glass body
- USB C, 3.5 mm jack and fingerprint sensor
- Wi-Fi 6, 5G, NFC…
- 4,500mAh battery
- 120W fast charge
- Android 11 and MIUI 12.5
It is a list of mid-range features with some very interesting points such as the screen, the camera or fast charging. The “bad” news for this device is that they are specifications that can be found in other devices, of the same brand, for less money.
It is a terminal that, like many others, arrives to be cannibalized by other members of the catalog itself. Of course, this time there is no quality / price ratio, since the base of this Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G is 399 euros / dollars for the 6 + 128 GB version.
If you want 8+128 GB you will have to pay 429 euros/dollars and for 8+256 GB the price is 449 euros/dollars. We will simply add an Amazon offer of the POCO F3 with a Snapdragon 870, 8 + 256 GB, 5G and the same screen with a price of 299 euros / dollars.
Second quarter of 2022 and Xiaomi is still on Android 11
Finally, we will talk, once again, about Xiaomi’s trick with Android. The company is launching this device on April 6, 2022 with Android 11 inside. It is a move that may be going unnoticed by many users and that exposes the company.
All brands are already presenting their smartphones with Android 12 , something that should not be news. Xiaomi is still in the previous version to save an update. That easy. If it launches with Android 11, the company promises to update two versions: Android 12 and Android 13 .
Xiaomi is extending Android 11 launches as much as possible to save the official update of Android 14. If it had launched the terminals with Android 12, that promise should be extended to Android 14. In this way, a version of Android is saved. I mean, a pretty embarrassing move .
What do you think of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 1 Pro Plus 5G ? Do you think it’s worth it?
