On the rear, there will be a dual-camera setup housed within a rectangular module.

The Redmi Note 11S 5G will draw power from an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor, coupled with 4GB/6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. The device will boot Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 and pack a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support.
