Design of Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S Redmi Note 11T 5G Which was the first smartphone of the Redmi 11 series. The company launched it a few months ago in the same price range. However, a quad camera setup is available in the Redmi Note 11S. Apart from the 108 megapixel main sensor, this phone has an 8 -megapixel ultravide camera, 2 megapixel depth sensor and 2 megapixel macro lens. The phone has a 16-megapixel front camera fitted into the hole-panch cutout. A chrome ring is given above the lens.
Redmi Note 11S The design is not going to attract too much. Its white and blue color variants may look slightly different, but the black unit I have, its color looks quite faded. Despite having a matte finish, stains and dust start to appear easily on it. The body of the phone is made of plastic, but a good feel comes when holding in the hand. As usual, Xiaomi has not only given IR Emitter, as well as a headphone jack, which is a good thing.
The phone has a 6.43-inch Full-HD Plus (FHD+) AMOLED display. This Note 11T is better than 5G, with the LCD panel. The refresh rate is 90Hz and peak brightness is 1000 nits. Blacks look more deep than the OLED panel, the color gamut becomes wide, which makes the video experience good. The phone has stereo speakers, which has now become an essential feature for most Redmi smartphones.
Redmi Note 11S has MediaTek Helio G96 processor, which we Realme 8i I was also seen in. Other than this Realme Narzo 50 I also get to see the same processor. The processor is built on the old 12Nm fabrication process, so on the pages it is not as much power efficient as recent MediaTek Dimensity or Qualcomm processors. It can also be underestimated than the Snapdragon 732G of Redmi Note 10 Pro. However, this processor comes in the powerful chip count and you have to wait for its review to learn more about its performance.

Charger of so capacity is also available in the retail box. The phone has an IP53 rating for dust and water registration. In addition, it comes with side mounted fingerprint sensor. The phone runs on MIUI 13 based on Android 11.
In this short time, the building quality of the phone is good according to what I used Redmi Note 11S. The design does not draw, but may not make much difference after the case. It is a matter of consideration for me how the Redmi Note 11S can fit in the current lineup of the company. We know that Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G The launch of the phone is fixed and the phone has been introduced in the global market. In India, this phone can be launched as Redmi Note 11E.
