Redmi Note 11 is seen to sport volume rockers and power button on the right spine.

Apart from this, Xiaomi reveals little else about the Redmi Note 11 series. The phones in the lineup have also been listed on JD.com ahead of launch. The e-commerce site lists three models – Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro, and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The listings suggest that the most premium Redmi Note 11 Pro+ will come in Mysterious Blackland, Misty Forest, and Time Quiet Purple colour options. The Redmi Note 11 Pro model, on the other hand, is listed to come in Mysterious Blackland, Misty Forest, Shallow Meng Xinghe, and Time Quiet Purple colour options.
