MIUI 13 is so well optimized on Redmi Note 11 Pro (Global version). Except Camera everything is top notch. Looking forward to it in India under 20K for 6+128 variant. Regular Redmi Note 11(snapdragon 680) is battery efficient but performance similar like Redmi Note 10. Would be great if launched between 13-16K.
I will better flash roms and have better use of best hardware. Correct time to buy Redmi/Mi/Poco phones is after year when prices drop by 30-40% including card discount. Get snapdragon variant of any phone and flash a rom. You won't have issue for day to day usage. Poco M2 Pro/Redmi Note 5 Pro/Redmi Note 7 Pro still performs like newly bought phone of this year and on custom rom kills batteries of 6000-7000 with normal usage. Camera gets improved too. This is without custom kernel. You can tweak the performance according to your needs.
