Redmi Note 11 Pro Series To Launch Under Xiaomi 11i Series In India

Last Updated on November 3, 2021 by Arpit

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series made its global debut just yesterday in China, and it consists of three devices: Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro, and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. Although the company is yet to reveal the global availability of these devices, a new finding by a reliable Xiaomi tipster, Kacper Skrzypek, suggests that the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+ will debut under the Xiaomi 11i series in India. If this turns out to be true, this won’t be the first instance when a Redmi Note series device will launch under its Xiaomi i series in India. Earlier this year, the company had launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (Chinese variant) as the Mi 10i in the country.

Kacper looked into the MIUI Camera app code and revealed that the Redmi Note 11 Pro could launch as the Xiaomi 11i in India, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ could launch as Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in the country. Xiaomi is going with the HyperCharge moniker due to the presence of 120W fast charging on the handset. To the unaware, the company refers its 120W fast charging technology as HyperCharger.

Under-the-hood, the Redmi Note 11 Pro series handsets sport the MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor that is fabricated on TMSC’s 6nm process. The processor features the ARM Mali-G86 GPU to take care of graphics-related tasks. Xiaomi is offering both these handsets with up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.

Moving on to the cameras, the Redmi Note 11 Pro series devices offer a triple-camera setup at the rear, consisting of a 108MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide-angle lens camera, and a 2MP telemacro macro camera. For selfies, Xiaomi is offering a 16MP shooter on both handsets.

The Note 11 Pro series devices feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm audio jack, super-linear speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a USB Type-C port.

If Xiaomi manages to launch it just in time, the upcoming Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge might be the first device in India to support more than 100W fast charging. As of now, the Mi 11 Ultra, with its 67W fast-charging, keeps the crown of the fastest (wired) charging smartphone in the country.
