Redmi 11 Prime


The Redmi 11 Prime didn't get all of its details confirmed, but we learned it will be powered by the Helio G99 chipset - a 6nm chip. Just like its 5G sibling, the Redmi 11 Prime has a 6.58” LCD with 90Hz refresh rate and FullHD+ resolution, as well as a waterdrop notch on the top. There is also Gorilla Glass on top to protect the screen.

The back has a “50MP triple camera system”, which is to say a 50MP main unit and two 2MP modules for macro and depth. The selfie camera has an 8MP sensor. Redmi 11 Prime brings another 5,000mAh battery and just like the 5G version it ships with a 22.5W charger, despite only supporting 18W top-ups. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack, an IR blaster, and the latest Bluetooth 5.3.

Xiaomi stopped short of announcing a launch date, saying the Redmi 11 Prime will arrive “soon”. It did reveal the prices though - INR 12,999 for 4/64 GB and INR 14,999 for 6/128 GB. Color options are three - Black, Green, and Purple, the latter two with a fancy diamond-shaped design. Interestingly enough, the phone looks a lot like the Poco M5 which was already announced yesterday in India with ever so slight price differences.
