Xiaomi announces Redmi Note 11 Series smartphones
Four new models feature in the Redmi Note 11 series announced today, with only one sporting 5G but three using a Samsung 108-megapixel primary camera.
The Note 11 series brings high-end features to a more affordable price point, with three of the new phones using the same Samsung HM2 image sensor used on more expensive Xiaomi models, such as the Xiaomi 11T.
Only one comes with 5G however, which might put off some who want to buy some level of future-proofing.
Xiaomi also announced an even more budget Note 11 model that gets an AMOLED display (when the Note 11s does not) and turbo (67W) charging, but a more basic 50-megapixel primary camera.
