Released on March 24, 2021, the Note 10 Pro can be purchased at the following prices from Amazon:
The Note 11 Pro is still expected. It will be launched this October 28 in China alongside the Redmi Note 11 and Note 11 Pro Plus at the following prices:
Despite its low price, the Redmi 10 is a phone that feels premium. It’s covered in tough Gorilla Glass 5 protection both front and back, though its plastic frame spoils the look a bit. It even has IP53 protection against splashing water and dust.
Not much is known about the design of the Redmi Note 11 yet. But given that the two phones are released only a few months apart, we can expect the Redmi Note 11 pro to offer just about the same design.
Both phones could end up with the same screen. It’s a 6.67-inch AMOLED HDR10 panel offering a not insignificant 120Hz refresh rate. It is also protected by a robust Gorilla Glass 5.
Typically, when a brand releases two phones from the same family in the same year, both share many specs like screen quality. This will be the case with the Redmi Note 10 Pro and 11 Pro.
A new, more powerful processor is part of the reason why some brands like Xiaomi release multiple phones from the same family in the same year.
The Note 10 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 732G chipset which scores a GeekBench5 performance score of 564 in single-core and 1779 in multi-core.
The Note 11 Pro comes with a more powerful chipset, the Mediatek Dimensity 920 which scores a single-core of 792 and a multi-core of 2592.
Both phones offer a maximum of 8GB of RAM, but with the Redmi Note 11 you could have up to 256GB of expandable storage via microSD card.
Both phones have the same rear camera setup: 108MP + 8MP + 5MP + 2MP (main, ultra-wide, macro, and depth). Xiaomi seems to have cut and pasted even when it comes to the Selfie camera which is 16MP on both phones.
Admittedly, this is common practice. Even the iPhones 12 and 13 that came out a year apart have very similar camera specs. But we are a little disappointed; we expected more, especially since the Redmi Notes are known for their good photo quality.

The battery of the Redmi Note 10 has a capacity of 5020mAh and thanks to its 33W fast charge, it can go from 0 to 59% in 30 minutes according to Xiaomi.
The Redmi Note 11 will have a smaller 5000mAh battery, but it will charge much faster because its fast charge goes up to 67W. It could reach 100% in 30 minutes.
You shouldn’t have any battery life issues with these two phones, they can last all day.
In the end, it becomes clear that the reasons why the Redmi Note 11 Pro sees the light of day are: A better processor, more storage space and even faster charging. These are significant assets that are well worth spending a few extra euros.
