In the ongoing human pursuit of more for less, Xiaomi stepped into the Indian market on February 9th, 2022, with two smartphones designed to blur the line between aspiration and affordability. The Redmi Note 11 and Note 11S — priced between Rs 13,499 and Rs 18,499 — offered premium-feeling displays and capable cameras to a population of buyers for whom every rupee carries weight. It is a familiar story of technology trickling downward, democratizing what was once reserved for those who could spend freely.
