Redmi 11 Prime 5G and 4G Specifications Compared
Despite sharing the same display size and battery capacity, the two models differ meaningfully in chipset and camera count. The 5G model is a rebranded Poco M4 5G that was originally launched in April 2022, while the 4G model brings a more powerful MediaTek Helio G99 SoC.

Key Differences: 5G vs 4G
Choosing between the two comes down to a clear trade-off. The Redmi 11 Prime 5G gives you future-ready 5G connectivity powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip, while the Redmi 11 Prime 4G counters with a faster MediaTek Helio G99 processor — a gaming-grade SoC that outperforms the Dimensity 700 in CPU and GPU benchmarks. The 4G variant also adds a third rear camera (a 2MP macro lens) and 5W reverse charging, which lets you use the phone as a power bank for other devices.
Both phones support USB OTG, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable storage up to 512GB via a microSD card — features increasingly rare in the budget segment. Gorilla Glass 3 protection on both models adds a layer of drop and scratch resistance to the display.
Camera Performance Outlook
The 50MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture on both phones is identical, so daytime shots should be comparable. The Redmi 11 Prime 4G's extra macro camera offers slightly more creative flexibility for close-up photography, while the 5G model keeps things simple with a dual-camera setup. Selfie quality should be similar given the shared 8MP front sensor.
Battery and Charging
A 5,000mAh cell is generous for phones in this price band and should comfortably last a full day of moderate use. Both support 18W fast charging; however, only the 4G model adds 5W reverse wired charging — a rare bonus under ₹15,000.
