Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G
You’re looking at the ultimate Redmi Note phone. Need a super-fast-charging handset? This one’s got your back, what with its support for 120 watts of quick charging. This allows its 4,500mAh battery to be filled up from 0% to 100% in just 15 minutes.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G relies on a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 920 chip, which also powers the Vivo V23 5G and Realme 9 Pro Plus 5G. It’s equipped with a triple rear camera headlined by a 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 sensor. The AMOLED screen measures 6.67 inches diagonally and boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling.
There are three Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G variants — 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB — but only the latter two will be available in the Philippines. The version with 128GB storage is priced at P19,999 (roughly $384). However, if you buy it early — during the flash sales between April 6 and April 8 — from Shopee or Lazada, you can get it for only P18,999 ($365). The unit with double the storage, on the other hand, costs P21,999 ($423) with an early-bird offer of a free Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite worth P2,499 ($48).
Abroad, the three memory configurations come with the following price tags: $369, $399, and $449.
Redmi Note 11S 5G and Redmi 10 5G
The middle child in the newly launched lineup of 5G-ready phones, the Redmi Note 11S 5G, uses a MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor, the same one found in devices such as the POCO M4 Pro 5G, Vivo V23e 5G, and Realme 9 5G. It features a big battery with a 5,000mAh capacity and 33-watt fast-charging support, a 50-megapixel triple camera on the back, and a 6.6-inch display with up to 90Hz refresh and 240Hz touch-sampling rates. The 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB versions are priced at $249, $279, and $299, respectively.
The most affordable of the trio, the Redmi 10 5G, is the first handset from the base series to have access to the fifth-generation of mobile network. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 700, the same chipset that powers phones like the Redmi Note 10 5G and POCO M3 Pro 5G. It also sports a 50-megapixel dual camera, a 6.58-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 5,000mAh battery. The model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage retails at $199, while the unit with 128GB of storage goes for $229.
