Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 11 Pro will have a 120Hz OLED panel instead of an LCD panel. Further, it will come with a more capable MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Pro model would also boast of a 5,000mAh battery, which will support a much faster 67W charging. The smartphone might feature a 108MP camera on the rear, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Redmi Note 11 Pro reportedly will also have X-axis linear vibration motor, JBL tuned stereo speakers, and NFC.

Redmi Note 11 Pro+, the series’ top model, is rumoured to come with a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. It is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 1200 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
