Redmi Note 11T Pro, Note 11 Pro, Note 11S, and Poco M4 details have appeared online, suggesting that Xiaomi could be working on four new devices as part of its 5G-enabled smartphone series.

These smartphones will be aimed at the global market and two of these devices could be launched as Poco devices in India and other global markets, according to a report by Xiaomiui. The company is yet to officially announce any details regarding these smartphones, but the report suggests that these handsets could sport similar specifications, designs similar to the Redmi Note 10 and Note 10 Pro, and feature French codenames.
