The Redmi Note models are Xiaomi’s mid-range with models that continue to maintain legacy features. An example of this is an infrared emitter in addition to maintaining a very balanced price with more than solvent features.
We already saw its international announcement a month ago and it is not until now when we see the arrival in Spain of the first two models, the non-Pro, with a screen size of 6.43 inches.
They are models that display the benefits that Xiaomi knows work and that are appreciated by users, such as the AMOLED screen or a large battery size with fast charging, really, integrated.

Redmi Note 11 and 11S: the youngest of the new family
The design of all non-Pro models is traced and it is difficult to differentiate them if we do not go into detail about the difference in the rear camera.
Both models have passed the IP53 tests against splashes and dust, that is, you can use it if it is sparking, although not for a long time.

The integrated screen is 6.43 inches in both models, the Note 11 and Note 11S. It is an AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 90 Hz maximum and FullHD + resolution. It is a good panel that, on paper, promises a maximum brightness of up to 1,000 nits.
In terms of battery, they are more than enough with those 5,000 mAh compatible with 33W fast charging and a charger of that rate in the box, something to be thankful for.
The main difference lies in the processor and is that the base model has the Snapdragon 680 while the 11S mounts the Mediatek Helio G95.
In the cameras section we went from sharing a wide angle 8-megapixel and two 2-megapixel cameras for macro and depth, to have different main sensors: the Note 11’s is 50-megapixel f/1.8 and the Note 11S’s main sensor is the 108-megapixel Samsung with f/1.9 aperture. /p>

And as an additional gift there is the option to enjoy two months of YouTube Premium that can be activated from the application on the Note 11 family devices.

One thing that is clear is that this family are mobiles that, a priori and on paper, can give a lot of war in the mid-range and that is that they fight in price ranges that most users consider when they want to change their mobile.
