A fifth model in the Redmi Note 11 family will arrive in Israel in a short time – this time with a price that scratches the bottom of the NIS 2,000 threshold for the first time. Most justified or exaggerated? The details inside
It’s pretty hard to ignore that the average price level of Xioami devices has been on a significant upward trend in recent years – and if you’ve somehow missed the point so far, a new device in the diverse Redmi Note 11 family that comes with a cost tag of no less than NIS 2,000 may be used. As conclusive proof.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G is designed to be the most sophisticated model in the mid-range, equipped with a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution, with a brightness of up to 1,200 nits, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, a 360 Hz touch sample rate and protective coating Gorilla Glass 5 above it, fast internal UFS 2.2 storage of 128GB or 256GB including option for additional expansion, 6GB or 8GB RAM, triple rear photo array with large 108 megapixel main sensor, official IP53 protection against water and dust and octagon Dimensity 920 chip Of Mediatek which gives it more processing power compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G without the Plus (with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695, as I recall) – and an internal 4,500mAh battery that enjoys a very advanced and agile 120-watt wired charging.
The identity of the processing chip inside and the advanced dual fast charging technology (a battery that consists of a pair of smaller 2,250mAh batteries that are charged in parallel) are the main advantages of the new model compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro launched in Israel only a month ago, but also other parts of the specification Produce a fairly relevant and effective image – stereo speakers from JBL, a slot for headphones, dual-channel Wi-Fi 6 connectivity (which is an improvement over the Redmi Note 11 Pro that settles for 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity), a built-in NFC chip, infrared transmitter, receiver Dual-channel GPS, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, FM radio tuner and more.
However, all of these features also bring with them high pricing that is not typical of the brand. The official local importer now offers in Israel the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G in its most advanced version, with 256GB of internal storage and 8GB of dynamic memory – for no less than NIS 2,000, with a choice of blue, green and gray, a two-year warranty , A wall charger supports charging 120 watts included in the package and also TWS model Redmi Buds 3 Pro headphones with a declared value of NIS 300 that will be given as a gift to all buyers.
When the recommended price of the Poco X4 Pro model with the same display and the same volumes of memories here in Israel is NIS 500 and when the price at which the same Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus model can be obtained from Chinese online stores is less than NIS 1,400 including the possible VAT surcharge – It is not easy to justify the initial pricing chosen, we can only hope that in the subsequent incarnations of the Redmi Note family there will be a return to focus on price levels between NIS 500 and NIS 1,500, while the premium levels of the mid-market will be left by Shiomi and its partners to other brands in Arsenal. its.
