Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is the 2022 base of the Note 11 family, running the Snapdragon 680 in a 6.43-inch 90 Hz OLED rated at 700 nits, with a 5000 mAh battery, 33 W charging, and an IP53 body at 179 grams. Our catalog scores it 25 on everyday use, 19 on camera and 92 on compactness. A 50-megapixel main camera leads the rear array, and the 4/64 GB trim is tracked at about $179 new. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is the earlier generation, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 continues the line.

Display and design

The 6.43-inch OLED refreshes at 90 Hz with a 700-nit peak, scoring 49 on our screen axis: AMOLED contrast in the compact Note format, a display class above the LCD norm of its price. IP53 sealing handles dust and light rain, and at 179 grams the body earns the compactness score of 92.

Performance

The Snapdragon 680 posts an everyday axis of 25 and a gaming axis of 1: messaging, browsing and streaming run comfortably, while 3D titles stay out of range. Tracked trims carry 4 to 6 GB of RAM across 64 to 128 GB of storage, and no software-window figure is documented for this model.

Camera

The camera axis of 19 rests on a 50-megapixel main sensor with an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens. Daylight shots are clean and predictable, there is no stabilization and no video specification is documented — a daylight utility set for the class.

Battery and charging

The 5000 mAh battery scores 40 on our battery axis, an easy full day at this modest pace, while 33 W charging scores 15, refilling predictably rather than quickly. In a 179-gram IP53 body, endurance and weight form the dependable core of the Note 11 offer.

Verdict

At about $179 new for 4/64 GB, the Redmi Note 11 answers a simple question: an OLED Note at entry-midrange money. Screen quality, IP53 sealing and 179 grams carry the pitch; the Note 12 generation adds pace, and the Note 10 remains the value classic below.
