Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

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.

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

Comes with Android 11 ; No 4K video

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G stuns with flagship features at a modest $329 that puts pricer smartphones to shame.

Fast FHD+ AMOLED display. Super-high-resolution main camera. Long, long battery life. Lightning-fast charging.

The processor is really not particularly fast. The camera is high-resolution, but digital zoom only works in lower resolution.

That the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is no top model is evident when the press release points out that the Snapdragon 695 chipset delivers “smooth and reliable performance”. When not even PR people can presume to say that a phone is fast, we’re looking...

+ 67W fast charger included! ; + Matte glass back looks and feel quite premium ; + Decent mid-range performance ; + MicroSD card support ; + 120Hz display looks good and smooth ; + Cameras deliver decent images

- Subpar battery life ; - Dedicated dual SIM slots downgraded to a hybrid dual SIM ; - MIUI 13 is pretty much the same as MIUI 12.5 ; - Loss of the great 5MP telemacro camera, for a fixed focus 2MP one ; - Seemingly non-existent noise reduction on the...

The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G delivers a few nice upgrades over its predecessor, at a rather sizeable bump in pricing.

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.

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...

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
