Redmi Note 11 is a stylish phone with great in-hand feel. It impresses with its all-round performance, competent cameras and long battery life
Young consumers are addicted to their mobile phones these days, with a ferocious appetite for clicking photos (selfies in particular) and making videos, sharing them with their near and dear ones, playing mobile games on their devices, streaming movies and snack video, listening to songs, etc. Talk to them on what matters the most in their mobile phones and the response is instant—the display has to be top-notch, really long battery life (fast charging is a must-have), great cameras to capture every moment, et al. And, being acutely value conscious consumers, they expect the mobile to carry a modest price tag.
Xiaomi India knows the pulse of this youth-centric burgeoning market segment. Recently the company’s sub-brand, Redmi India, expanded its Redmi Note series with two user-friendly, feature-rich and good performing mobile phones— Redmi Note 11S and Redmi Note 11.

They also set a new standard in camera excellence with their advanced 108MP primary camera. Redmi Note 11 is available in three variants—4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB for Rs 13,499, Rs 14,499 and Rs 15,999, respectively.
