On February 9 Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 11 and Note 11S alongside the Redmi Smart Band and Redmi Smart TV X43. Naturally, the company is keeping the price details for the event next week, though that hasn’t prevented the information from leaking.
One report coming from MySmartPrice suggests that the Redmi
Smart Band Pro will launch at ₹ 3,000. That apparently includes a first sale
discount and the actual retail price will be slightly higher. Xiaomi Central
confirms the price.
For comparison, the Redmi Smart Band is currently ₹ 1,500
(down from ₹ 2,100), the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is ₹ 2,500 (also discounted) and
the Mi Smart Band 6 is ₹ 3,500. The Redmi Smart Band Pro has a larger display
than any of these, 1.47” OLED (450 nits of brightness), is rated for 50m water
resistance and has a 200 mAh battery that promises 14 days of normal usage (20
days in power saving mode).
A tipster told Xiaomi Central that the Redmi Note 11S will
start at ₹ 17,000 for the 6/64 GB model, with a storage upgrade (6/128 GB)
available for ₹ 18,000 and the top-specced model (8/128 GB) for ₹ 20,000. Note
that we haven’t seen a confirmation of those prices from a second source.
They do sound about right, though. Looking at the MSRP of
the Redmi Note 10S, the base model cost the same, while the 6/128 GB and 8/128
GB phones were ₹ 1,000 more expensive. “Were” since the 10S is nearly a year old
now, which has earned it some discounts.
