Price policy and comparison of versions
The price of Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro in Belarus is formed under the influence of several factors: currency exchange rate, customs duties and margins of retailers. At the moment, there is a clear separation of prices depending on the version of the device and the amount of internal memory.

|---|---|---|---|
| 6 GB + 128 GB | Global (PCT) | ~950 - 1050 | Official 12 months. |

The difference between the global and Chinese versions can be substantial. Chinese versions are often cheaper, but may have limitations: the lack of some LTE bands (Band 20), the presence of Chinese services instead of Google (requires firmware), and the lack of NFC in some cases, although for this model NFC is usually everywhere.
When choosing the official version, you should consider that the overpayment is essentially insurance against software problems and a guarantee of build quality. Service centers are more likely to accept devices with official distribution, which makes it easier to repair if necessary.
