Redmi Note 11 Pro, Note 11 Pro+, and Redmi Watch 2 Lite launched in India

Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched two new smartphones and a smartwatch in India today. These include the Redmi Note 11 Pro, Redmi Note 11 Pro+, and the Redmi Watch 2 Lite. The Redmi Note 11 Pro models feature largely identical specifications save for the SoC and the camera setup.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 695 and features a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120 Hz AMOLED display with a 360 Hz touch sampling rate, 1200-nit peak brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. The body is primarily made of glass and marks the arrival of an enhanced Redmi EVOL design called the EVOL Pro. The EVOL Pro specifies an overall flat construction with a clean camera island and IP53 rating.

On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Helio G96 SoC with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. There is no 5G support here, so you will have to make do with G LTE. 5G isn't yet prevalent in India anyways, so buyers can save some money by opting for the Note 11 Pro if the faster SD695 SoC isn't a priority.

Both the Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Note 11 Pro+ feature a 108 MP Samsung HM2 primary camera with an f/1.9 aperture and a 6P lens but no OIS. There's also an 8 MP ultrawide f/2.2 along with a 2 MP f/2. macro lens. The Note 11 Pro also features a 2 MP depth sensor not found in the Pro+. Despite the capable cameras, video recording is limited to just 1080p 30 fps. A 16 MP f/2.5 front camera with screen flash is common to both models.

The battery capacity, too, is common at 5,000 mAh with support 67 W fast charging, which Redmi claims can offer enough charge within 15 minutes for all-day usage. MIUI 13 based on Android 11 comes pre-installed.

We had previously reviewed the Redmi Watch 2 Lite, and it came across as a decent smartwatch though the heart rate monitor could definitely use some work. The Redmi Watch 2 Lite includes heart rate monitoring, SpO2, and GPS sensors and includes 17 workout modes and 90+ extended modes. It also comes with sleep tracking, stress monitoring, breathing training, and menstruation tracking.
