Specifications for the Redmi 11 Prime Series
There are two variants in the Redmi 11 Prime series: the Redmi 11 Prime and Redmi 11 Prime 5G. The first one only supports 4G, as the names would imply, whereas the second one also supports 5G.
The Redmi 11 Prime and the recently released Poco M5 are identical save for the rear design.On the other hand, the Redmi 11 Prime 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11E from China, which also goes by Redmi 10 5G in Southeast Asia.
When it comes to technical details, both smartphones sport a 6.58-inch LCD screen with a 2408 x 1080 (FHD+) resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a dewdrop notch. Additionally, they start with the same MIUI 13 software, which runs on Android 12.
They also have a 50MP primary camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 5MP front-facing camera. The 4G model includes an extra 2MP macro camera.
Their chipsets are the primary distinction between the two. A MediaTek Helio G99 SoC with Bluetooth 5.3 powers the 4G edition, while a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip with Bluetooth 5.1 powers the 5G variant. In either case, they have a dedicated MicroSD card port, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage.
Dual-band WiFi, GNSS, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, a 3.5mm headphone socket, a 5,000mAh battery, and compatibility for 18W rapid charging are the remaining features of these devices (ships with a 22.5W fast charger).
