TL;DR
- Xiaomi has confirmed the global launch date for the Redmi Note 11 series.
- The phone line will debut on January 26, but it’s unclear if all three models will be made available.
After making its Chinese debut in October 2021, Xiaomi has now confirmed the Redmi Note 11 series is launching globally before the end of the month. Per the Twitter teaser, the devices will launch on January 26 at 7:00 AM ET.
While the Redmi Note 11 series consists of three models, the teaser image only showcases two. It’s unclear if this reflects Xiaomi’s actual global launch plans, and if so, which Note 11 model will remain a Chinese exclusive.
Well, most potential buyers would hope the Pro model makes the cut. It’s the most impressive of the three on paper, running the Mediatek Dimensity 920 SoC beneath a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display. A 5,160mAh battery with 67W charging sweetens the deal, along with the 108MP primary camera. However, it’s unclear if we’ll see this model headline the global lineup instead of the faster charging Pro Plus variant.

We do expect to see the standard Redmi Note 11, though, complete with the Dimensity 810 SoC, a 6.6-inch 90Hz LCD, a 50MP primary camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Whatever Xiaomi brings, expect some solid yet affordable mid-range options potentially starting below $200.
