Xiaomi has already confirmed that its new Note series handset, the Note 11S, will make its debut in India on February 9. Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has leaked the price of the handset and its specifications. The phone is tipped to be priced between Rs. 16,000-17,000 and it will feature a 90Hz display, a quad rear camera unit, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Why does this story matter?
The Redmi Note 11S will arrive in India as the successor to the Note 10S. With an upgraded camera and processor, the Note 11S is expected to strengthen Xiaomi's position in the budget segment. However, the present leak has revealed that the phone will not support 5G, which might put off some buyers who would want to be future-proof with a 5G-ready phone.

It will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support
The Redmi Note 11S will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G96 chipset, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. Under the hood, it will boot Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 and house a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support. For connectivity, the handset will offer support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and a Type-C port.
