Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G India Price Tipped; Here’s How Much It Will Cost

Xiaomi is now getting all the attention for its upcoming Redmi Note 11T 5G in India. The device will be arriving as the rebadged version of the Redmi Note 11 5G which was announced earlier this year in China. An exclusive report by 91Mobiles today confirmed its launch timeline which is scheduled for November 30 in the country. Now, a fresh leak has surfaced online courtesy MoneyControl and tipster Yogesh Brar have shared the pricing details of the Redmi Note 11T 5G in the Indian market. Is it worth the competition? Let’s find out:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G Expected India Pricing Leaked

According to the report, the Redmi Note 11T 5G will be available with the same configurations as the Chinese variant. The base model which will pack 6GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration is said to be tagged at Rs. 17,999. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11T 5G with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration will be announced at Rs. 19,999.

The report further suggests the company will be introducing a 64GB variant as well. However, the pricing of this model hasn’t been confirmed just yet. The color options and design would be likely the same as the Chinese counterpart. The color options expected are Mint Green, Mysterious Black, and Galaxy Blue.

Does This Pricing Make Redmi Note 11T 5G Better Mid-Range Competitor?

Before we give a verdict on this, let’s give a quick look at the expected Redmi Note 11T hardware. As suggested by the recent exclusive report by 91Mobiles, the Redmi Note 11T Pro 5G is not entirely a new device rather a rebadged version of the vanilla Redmi Note 11 5G. The handset will use the Dimensity 810 octa-core processor clubbed with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration.

The Redmi Note 11T 5G will be flaunting a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1080p FHD+ resolution. The panel will feature a punch-hole cutout housing a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Additionally, the display will offer a 90Hz refresh rate for better frame transitions with high-end gaming.

The Redmi Note 11T 5G’s imaging setup would also be identical to the standard Redmi Note 11 5G. There will be dual cameras at the back where the primary sensor would be a 50MP lens with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP sensor for ultra-wide-angle frames. The battery expected to power the Redmi Note 11T 5G is a 5,000 mAh unit accompanied by 33W quick charging technology.

Now, whether or not this handset makes it a good competition; let’s break it down. If we compare the pricing, then the Redmi Note 11T 5G’s primary competition includes the Realme 8S 5G and the Lava Agni 5G. Both these handsets have been launched recently in the Indian market and are driven by the Dimensity 810 5G SoC.

The features packed in all three handsets are somewhat similar. Some differences here and there. The Redmi Note 11T 5G is a good handset on paper and is competitive in the mid-range segment. But, it would have got larger popularity with a lower price tag.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 5G To Be Rebranded As Note 11T 5G In India; Launch Scheduled For November 30

Xiaomi had refreshed its mid-range Redmi smartphone lineup with the launch of the Redmi Note 11 series earlier this year. However, all three models were introduced in China and are yet to make their global debut. The Redmi Note 11 5G has been re-labeled as the Poco M4 Pro 5G for some of the international markets. But it seems that the company wouldn’t be following the same strategy with this handset for the Indian market. A new report has revealed that we will see a slightly different Redmi Note branding only and not a Poco moniker.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T To Launch Instead Of Poco M4 Pro 5G/ Redmi Note 11 5G

An exclusive report by 91Mobiles suggests Xiaomi is gearing up to bring the Redmi Note 11 5G in India rebadged as the Redmi Note 11T 5G. The report in association with tipster Ishan Aggarwal suggests the company will be launching the new premium mid-range handset later this month in the country. The launch is scheduled for November 30 as per the report.

It is worth mentioning that the only mention is of the Redmi Note 11T 5G’s launch on the aforementioned date. The report doesn’t confirm the availability of the remaining variants. Therefore, it can’t be said for sure if Xiaomi is planning to introduce just a single model first and then the remaining variants.

If it’s opting for the latter strategy, then then the timeline, as well as the moniker for the remaining models, remains a mystery for now. It would be interesting to see if all the models are launched this year itself or will get delayed till next year.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G Full Specifications, Features

Since the Redmi Note, 11T 5G is said to be rebranded Redmi Note 11 5G, we know what all features to expect. The handset will be announced with a 6.6-inch display that will have 1080 x 2400 pixels FHD+ resolution and a higher 90Hz refresh rate.

There will be a punch-hole camera cutout that will accommodate a 16MP selfie snapper. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G’s rear cameras will include a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor.
