Occasionally Xiaomi relaunches old phones with a slight update, such as the Redmi Note 8 2021. Information on the Google Play Console reveals that there is another similar model coming for next year: the Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023 (name in code “sweet”).

This is a follow-up to this year’s Redmi Note 11 Pro, albeit with a different chipset and a different camera layout. According to the GPC, the 2023 edition will be powered by the Snapdragon 712.
It wasn’t the most impressive chipset of early 2019 and will be even less impressive next year. Old as it is, it should hold its own against the Helio G96 within the 2022 model, but it won’t be an upgrade in terms of performance. It could be more efficient, however, as it was fabricated on a 10nm process (versus 12nm for Helium).
Interestingly, the modified camera layout makes it look exactly like the Redmi Note 10 Pro, which is powered by the newer (and more powerful) Snapdragon 732G. The 10 Pro also has almost the same camera setup as the 11 Pro: main 108MP, ultra-wide 8MP, and 2MP deep. The only difference is that the previous model had a 5MP macro camera, the newer model a 2MP one.

At this point you may be wondering why Xiaomi doesn’t keep selling the Redmi Note 10 Pro. The 11 Pro has faster charging (67W vs 33W) and a brighter display (700nits vs 450nits peak), but it is unclear whether the 2023 model will retain these benefits. Additionally, the 10 Pro had 4K video recording, which the 11 Pro lost.
