Redmi’s Indian division held an event today where it announced three entry-level phones: Redmi 11 Prime 5G, Redmi 11 Prime, and ultra-affordable Redmi A1. All phones are powered by Mediatek chipsets and sales will begin later this week.
Redmi 11 Prime 5G
This is the most powerful smartphone of the trio. It comes with a Dimensity 700 chip and two memory options: 4/64 GB or 6/128 GB. There is also a third one listed on the Xiaomi website, 4/128 GB, but it’s not on sale yet.
At the front there is a 6.58-inch LCD display with Full HD + resolution and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The teardrop notch houses a 5 MP f / 2.2 camera. The Redmi 11 Prime 5G has a 50MP main camera on the back with an f / 1.8 lens and a 2MP depth sensor.
Xiaomi Redmi 11 Prime 5G
Xiaomi Redmi 11 Prime 5G runs MIUI 13 on Android 12. Its battery has a capacity of 5,000mAh and supports 18W charging, but the adapter in the box can deliver speeds of 22.5W.
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.
Xiaomi Redmi 11 Prime 5G
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G is offered in Thunder Black, Chrome Silver and Meadow Green colors. The first sale is scheduled for September 9, and prices are INR12,999 ($ 160) and INR14,999 ($ 185) for the two available storage options.
Redmi 11 Prim
The Redmi 11 Prime has not gotten all its details confirmed, but we have 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-inch LCD with 90Hz refresh rate and FullHD + resolution, as well as a teardrop notch at the top. There is also Gorilla Glass on the top to protect the screen.
The rear has a “50MP triple camera system” which is a 50MP main unit and two 2MP modules for macro and depth. The selfie camera has an 8MP sensor.
Redmi 11 Prime carries another 5,000mAh battery and, just like the 5G version, it comes with a 22.5W charger, despite only supporting 18W charging. There’s also a 3.5mm audio jack. , an IR blaster and the latest Bluetooth 5.3.
Xiaomi has stopped announcing a launch date, saying that the Redmi 11 Prime will arrive “soon”. However, it revealed the prices: INR12.999 for 4 / 64GB and INR14.999 for 6 / 128GB. There are three color options: black, green and purple, the latter two with a fantastic diamond-shaped design. Interestingly, the phone looks a lot like the Poco M5 which was already announced yesterday in India with very slight price differences.
Redmi A1
The Redmi A1 takes the Xiaomi Mi A1 of the past, only it tries to fit into a much more conservative budget. There is no MIUI here, the Redmi A1 runs a clean Android 12.
The Redmi A1 has a leather finish on the back and many believe the leather to be a premium texture, even though the panel is actually plastic. Inside, we have a Helio A22 chipset, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is also a MicroSD slot for up to 512GB more.
The front of the phone has a 6.52-inch LCD display with 720p resolution and a high 20: 9 ratio. The rear has a dual-cam setup that is visually reminiscent of Xiaomi 12 flagships. However, the main shooter has an 8MP sensor, while the 2MP depth sensor doesn’t add much to your shots. The selfie camera has a 5MP sensor.
Just like its more powerful siblings, the Redmi A1 has a 5,000mAh battery, but sadly it has a microUSB port at the bottom, which is pretty difficult to deal with on a phone launched in the second half of 2022.
Redmi A1
The price of the Redmi A1 is INR6.499, which is around $ 80. The first flash sale is scheduled for September 9 and the phone can be purchased in Black, Blue or Green colors.
