Redmi Note 11 4G is expected to launch soon in India. Based on the recent rumours emerging in the industry, Xiaomi could soon be launching the the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 11 here. The phone has already been launched in China last month and is largely similar to the Redmi 10 Prime. Xiaomi India already brought the Redmi Note 11T 5G to our shores.

The Redmi Note 11 4G launch rumours come courtesy of a report from 91Mobiles. There's no idea on an exact launch date yet but it is said to come soon. Given that December 2021 has still a lot of day left, we expect the company to release the phone in the coming weeks. A previous rumour has already suggested Xiaomi launching multiple smartphones in India prior to the last sunset in 2021.

Redmi Note 11 4G: What's different from the 5G model?

In China, the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 11 is essentially a mildly tweaked variant of the Redmi 10 Prime that we saw in India a few months ago. Now do note that the Chinese and Indian variants of the Redmi Note series differ vastly in terms of features and specifications. Hence, the one that we get in India could be largely different from the Chinese model.

For those interested, the Redmi Note 11 4G in China uses the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset, comes with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11, up to 6GB of RAM, a 6.5-inch FHD+ 90Hz LCD display, a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging, a 50MP triple rear camera, and a 16MP front camera.

These specifications seem inferior to the prior iterations of the Redmi Note series in India, specifically the Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 9. The Redmi Note 10S, which is a boosted version of the regular model, is currently selling at a starting price of ₹14,999. This one offers a faster Helio G96 chipset, an AMOLED display, a 5000mAh battery, and a stereo speaker setup.
