Xiaomi Redmi Note 11t 5g

The Redmi Note 10T 5G was a disappointment, similar to the bunch of affordable 5G smartphones India saw in early 2021. The phone seemed fine on paper but lacked the levels of user experience you expect from a smartphone costing ₹15,000. With the Redmi Note 11T 5G, things are looking different. Most of our concerns with the older model have been fixed and it seems we can finally recommend a 5G phone that won’t put a dent in your wallet.

But 5G is still theoretical in India at this point, with the spectrum auctions yet to happen. To offset the doubts about going 5G, Redmi has introduced it as the first Redmi Note 11 series device in India. Starting at ₹16,999, it sits just under our favourite Redmi Note 10 Pro. With a new chip, fresher design and minor tweaks, is the Redmi Note 11T 5G the phone that can make you upgrade?

After spending a week with the phone, I am certain that Redmi has done enough to convince me for considering an affordable 5G phone. But has it done enough to make you forget about the Redmi Note 10 Pro?
