Design

These three devices do not differ too much in terms of design, but it is pretty evident that the color options and the overall aesthetics of the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G are more detailed and attractive.

 

Display

The Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Pro 5G come with a wider display sporting a diagonal of 6.67 inches, as well as a higher 120 Hz refresh rate. For the rest, they are almost the same as the other two variants: AMOLED panels with HDR10 and a Full HD+ resolution.

 

Specs & Software

The 5G variant is the most powerful thanks to the Snapdragon 695 mobile platform, and it is also the only one to support the 5G connectivity. The vanilla version is less impressive due to inferior memory configurations, while the 11S and the 11 Pro sit in the middle with an Helio G96 and up to 8 GB of RAM. All the phones run Android 11 customized by MIUI 13.

 

Camera

If we exclude the vanilla version sporting an inferior 50 MP main camera, all the phones come with a 108 MP main sensor alongside an 8 MP ultrawide lens.

 

Battery

The whole series is equipped with 5000 mAh batteries, but the Pro variants provide faster charging speeds thanks to 67W fast charging. Further, the Pro 5G should allow for longer battery life because its chipset is built at 6 nm.

 

Price

The prices vary depending on the market: in Europe, the prices begin from less than €200/$228 and they go up to €330/$375 for the most expensive configuration of the Pro 5G. If you do not need 5G, it does not make sense to opt for the Pro 5G: you’d better go for the original Note 11 Pro. If you do not even need 67W fast charging, then choose the 11S. The Redmi Note 11 has inferior cameras, so you should think twice before choosing it.
