According to recent reports, Redmi will soon launch a new Redmi Note series in the Japanese market. The report claims that this device will be the Redmi Note 11 JE and its codename is lilac. Furthermore, the Redmi Note 11 JE is a special model for the Japanese market. The main highlight of this smartphone is that it supports IP68 dust-proof and water-proof. The protection level is comparable to that of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.
This is one of the earliest reports regarding the “JE” model in the Redmi Note 11 series. Recall that the company released the Redmi Note 11 series some weeks ago. At launch, this series had three models including the Redmi Note 11, Redmi Note 11 Pro, and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. Subsequently, the company officially released the Redmi Note 11 4G which costs about $156.
Last year’s Redmi Note 10 JE also supports IP68 dustproof and waterproof. It can work normally under 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. This is an important feature that high-end flagships currently use. Today, Redmi provides IP68 protection on the Note series which is very competitive since they are cheap.
