Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

Decent battery life ; Strong display ; Good stereo speakers

Cameras downgraded since last year ; Proactive power management closes down your apps ; Has a budget 5G processor ; Video limited to 1080p/30fps

The Note 11 Pro 5G comes with above average speakers, display quality and build. However, the handset’s cameras aren’t as good as those included with its predecessor, plus performance doesn’t match up to that of some other Xiaomi phones at the same level.

Excellent AMOLED screen, bright, accurate colors, 120Hz.

Lackluster performance, UI may lag.

Long story short, until we see the Redmi Note 11 Pro at a discount, or until the older Xiaomi models are no longer available, we can't but think of the Redmi Note 11 Pro as unsellable.

Large, bold screen ; Good battery life ; Solid stereo speakers

No 4K video or HDR video playback ; Cameras are a significant downgrade ; Unremarkable chipset

6.67-inch 120Hz display ; Long-lasting battery ; Good camera system

Average performance ; Prone to scratches ; Comes with loads of unnecessary apps

If you want to make the most out of your money, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is worth considering. Even though the performance is lacking slightly, it's still really good value with a lovely screen, a decent camera and the battery will easily last...

Stunning 120Hz AMOLED display ; Great performance for price ; Good battery life ; Bargain price tag ; 5G support

Great screen ; Looks and feels like a premium handset

Not as good as last year’s models ; Not so great at video recording

A good phone at a good price that’s perfect for watching on – but gamers should look elsewhere

Excellent battery life ; Great design ; Decent camera ; Headphone jack

Occasional glitches ; Android 11 ; No 4K video recording

Beautiful aesthetics get the Note 11 Pro 5G off to a great start, while the performance and features keep this theme going. It’s a solid mid-range device that never really excels but always delivers.

Still-great 120Hz OLED display ; Relatively capable processor ; Fast 67W charging

Not much of an advance ; No 4K video ; MIUI is still a little gaudy and occasionally buggy

The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is another strong budget offering from Xiaomi, though it offers a package that’s perhaps too similar to the excellent Redmi Note 10 Pro, with the same display and much the same camera system.

Great audio quality for media consumption ; Great battery life and charging speeds ; 67W charger in the box ; Awesome display ; Good main camera ; Clean and simple design ; Expandable storage

Subpar video quality and stabilization ; Bugs ; Old Android version ; Only 2 years software updates ; Bloatware

120 Hz refresh rate ; High quality fit, finish, and design ; 3.5mm audio port and IR blaster ; Capable rear camera system ; Solid battery life ; 90 Hz refresh rate ; Low price ; High quality fit, finish, and design ; 3.5mm audio port and IR blaster ;...
