Design

Despite these devices belonging to two different generations, their designs are similar. Do not expect amazing build quality and premium materials because these devices are very affordable phones. They are entirely made of polycarbonate with the exception of the front glass. The Redmi Note 11T 5G has the IP53 certification which makes it dust resistant and splash resistant, while the Redmi Note 10T 5G is splash proof but does not have any kind of certification against water and dust. The Redmi Note 10T 5G is a bit more compact and it has the Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the display. The camera modules have a similar design but different placements, with the Redmi Note 10T 5G packing a smaller module, even though it has more sensors. I personally prefer the Redmi Note 10T 5G.

 

Display

The displays of the Redmi Note 11T 5G and the Redmi Note 10T 5G are slightly different in terms of size: 6.6 inches and 6.5 inches, respectively. But for the rest, there are no important differences as the main specifications are the same. They are average IPS LCD panels with a 90 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. You should not expect an amazing image quality as we are talking about cheap IPS panels, but the quality is sufficient for every kind of user and the refresh rate is even good for gamers. These phones are equipped with side-mounted fingerprint readers placed on the power keys. Note that Redmi Note 11T 5G has stereo speakers, while the Redmi Note 10T 5G has a mono speaker.

 

Hardware/Software

The Redmi Note 11T 5G packs a stronger processor: the octa-core Dimensity 810 5G chipset by Mediatek built at 6 nm, running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. It is a pretty good update if compared to the Dimensity 700 found on the Redmi Note 10T 5G, but not for gamers as these two processors have the same GPU. With the Redmi Note 11T 5G you can actually get a higher quantity of RAM: up to 8 GB, while the Redmi Note 10T 5G stops at 6 GB. The most recent model is running MIUI 12.5 out of the box, while its predecessor is based on MIUI 12, but both run Android 11.

 

Camera

The main sensor found on the rear of the Redmi Note 11T 5G is way better than the one of the Redmi Note 10T 5G: we are talking about a more recent 50 MP camera capturing a higher level of detail. Still a cheap camera, but superior to the old 48 MP one of the Note 10T. Even the secondary sensor is better: the Redmi Note 11T 5G has an 8 MP ultrawide camera, while the Redmi Note 10T 5G has two useless 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation.

 

Battery

These phones are both equipped with a battery sporting a capacity of 5000 mAh, but the battery life is most likely to be longer on the Redmi Note 11T 5G because it is fueled by a more efficient processor built at 6 nm. It even supports faster charging thanks to a power of 33W.

 

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G: Price

The starting price of the Redmi Note 11T 5G is €220/$250, while the Redmi Note 10T 5G starts from €175/$200 thanks to street prices. Overall, the former offers a better audio experience, a more powerful chipset, better cameras, and faster charging. It makes sense to spend more if you are looking for these better features.
