the new mid-range master is up for pre-order

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro is one of the three new smartphones recently formalized in France by the Chinese brand. This one is perceived as the standard bearer of the mid-range, with a more muscular technical sheet than the other two. Pre-orders have just started for a release scheduled for the month of March.

We voted the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro as the best value for money of 2021, and there is no doubt that his successor will do the same. Xiaomi has just formalized its Redmi Note 11 Pro, a model obviously better off than the Note 11/11S. If the latter two are already available for purchase with a promotion for the launch, the Pro model is entering the pre-order phase for an estimated delivery during the month of March 2022. The 5G version of this mid-range smartphone will arrive later in the year.

Where to pre-order the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro?

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro is available for pre-order at 329.90 euros for the 4+64 GB model, 349.90 euros for 6+128 GB and 379.90 for 8+128 GB. Several colors are available: Celestial Azure, Gray graphite and glacier white.

The new mid-range master

the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro has the daunting task of succeeding the smartphone with the best value for money of 2021, but given its technical data sheet it will have no harm. It generally offers the same design as its predecessor, but the slices are strongly reminiscent of the contours of an iPhone with this layer of aluminum that surrounds the phone. The dimensions are quite similar compared to the Note 10 Prowith the same screen characteristics, namely 6.67 inches, AMOLED technology, Full HD + definition and refresh rate at 120 Hz. Touch sampling for better touch responsiveness is once again at 360 Hz (against 180 Hz on Note 11 and Note 11S) and the weight of the smartphone exceeds 200 grams.

It retains the 108-megapixel main sensor made by Samsung, with the addition of an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, a 2-megapixel macro and a 2-megapixel depth. As on the old model, this composition should ensure good versatility and good quality shots, where even night shots will remain quite effective. As for the battery, it is 5,000 mAh, which is 20 mAh less than on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, but the autonomy should be quite similar, around 2 days if the use is moderate. The big change with the 11 Pro is the supplied power supply which is now 67 W to quickly recover percentages. The Chinese brand announces between 30 and 40 minutes to reach 100%.

In terms of performance, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro is changing its tune and this year the manufacturer has chosen a MediaTek processor instead of Qualcomm for its new mid-range smartphone. This is the Helio G96 supported by 6 or 8 GB of RAM depending on the model chosen, i.e. the same chip as that of the Redmi Note 11S. Power, on the other hand, should be more or less similar to the Snapdragon 732G of last year’s Note 10 Pro. That being said, the user experience will be perfectly smooth under MIUI 13 with Android 11 (Android 12 will arrive later) and the majority of 3D games will run in good graphic conditions.
