Redmi 11 Prime 5G, Redmi 11 Prime, Redmi A1 go official
Redmi 11 Prime 5G
This is the most powerful smartphone of all three. It comes with one Dimensity 700 chip and two memory options – 4/64 GB or 6/128 GB. Xiaomi’s website also has a third, 4/128 GB, but it’s not ready for sale yet.
The front is a 6.58-inch LCD with full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The waterdrop notch has a 5MP f/2.2 camera. The Redmi 11 Prime 5G has an important 50MP camera at the rear with a f/1.8 lens and a 2MP depth sensor.
Xiaomi Redmi 11 Prime runs MIUI 13 on Android 12. Its battery has a capacity of 5,000mAh and support for 18W charging, but the adapter in the box can provide a 22.5W rate.
Other highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a long tray for two SIM cards and a microSD card, a 3.5mm audio jack and an FM radio.
Redmi 11 Prime 5G Thunder is offered in Black, Chrome Silver, and Meadow Green colors. The first sale is scheduled for September 9 and the prices for the two available storage options are INR12,999 ($160) and INR14,999 ($185).
Redmi 11 Prime
Redmi 11 Prime didn’t confirm all of its details, but we learned that it will be powered by the Helio G99 chipset — a 6nm chip.
Just like its 5G sibling, the Redmi 11 Prime has a 6.58″ LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and FullHD+ resolution, as well as a waterdrop notch at the top. There is also gorilla glass at the top to protect the screen.
At the back is the “50MP Triple Camera System” which says there is a 50MP main unit and two 2MP modules for macro and depth. The selfie camera has an 8MP sensor.
The Redmi 11 Prime brings another 5,000mAh battery and, like the 5G version, sends it with a 22.5W charger despite supporting only 18W top-ups. There’s also a 3.5mm audio jack, an IR blaster, and the latest Bluetooth 5.3.
Xiaomi stopped from announcing the launch date, saying that Redmi 11 Prime would come “soon”. It did show prices though – INR12,999 for 4/64 GB and INR14,999 for 6/128 GB. The color options are three – black, green and purple, with the latter two diamond-shaped designs. Interestingly, the phone looks quite similar to the Poco M5 which was announced in India yesterday with a slight difference in prices.
Redmi A1
The Redmi A1 takes after the xiaomi Mi A1 of the past, only to try to fit within a much more conservative budget. There’s no MIUI here, Redmi A1 runs Clean Android 12.
The Redmi A1 has a leather finish on the back, and many people consider leather to be a premium texture, even if the panel is actually plastic. On the inside, we have a Helio A22 chipset, with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is also a microSD slot for up to 512 GB.
The front of the phone has 6.52″ LCD with 720p resolution and long 20:9 ratio. At the back is a dual cam setup that visually resembles the Xiaomi 12 flagship. However, the main shooter has a low 8MP sensor, while a 2MP depth sensor hardly adds much to your shots. The selfie camera has a 5MP sensor.
Just like its powerful siblings, the Redmi A1 has a 5,000 mAh battery, but sadly there’s a micro USB port underneath it, which is difficult to take on a phone launched in the second half of 2022.
Redmi A1
Redmi A1 is priced at INR6,499, which is about $80. The first flash sale is scheduled for September 9 and the phone can be purchased in black, blue or green colors.
