On June 8, Realme unveiled the Realme 11 Pro series of smartphones at a grand launch event in New Delhi, India. At the event, the company confirmed that it would be delivering a leap-frog technology and a premium master design with each instalment of its numbered series, and the Realme 11 Pro+ successfully fulfils this commitment. It features Realme’s inaugural 200-megapixel camera, showcasing the brand’s dedication to pushing boundaries in smartphone photography. Furthermore, the collaboration with former Gucci designer Matteo Menotto has resulted in a visually striking design that adds an extra touch of elegance to the Realme 11 Pro+.
The Realme 11 Pro+ comes in three color options: Astral Black, Oasis Green, and Sunrise Beige. The black variant features a polycarbonate rear shell with a leather-like design, while the green and beige variants showcase vegan leather. Realme sent me the Oasis Green variant of the Realme 11 Pro+. Join us as we explore the Realme 11 Pro+, a beautiful and powerful smartphone packed with exciting features.
Realme 11 Pro+ design
The Realme 11 Pro+ 5G features a high-quality lychee vegan leather back cover with a luxurious feel that is resistant to dirt and stains. The 3D woven texture and hand-made switching design, which can be seen in the middle, amplify the beauty of the phone. The phone feels thin and light, as it measures 8.7mm in thickness and weighs 189 grams. The black variant has an 8.2mm thickness and weighs 183 grams.
Distinguishing itself from the Realme 10 Pro series, the Realme 11 Pro+ showcases a unique rear camera design. Located on the upper half of the phone’s back, the prominent round camera module houses three symmetrically arranged cameras. The main camera stands in the centre, highlighted by a green-plated ring, while the additional cameras and LED flash are enclosed within a black ring. Adding a touch of elegance, a stylish gold accent surrounds the entire module, completing the eye-catching design.
The Realme 11 Pro+ features a stunning front design with a curved-edge display, which accentuates the overall beauty of the phone. According to the brand, the 11 Pro+ offers a screen space of 93.65 percent. Realme’s meticulous craftsmanship in the Realme 11 Pro+, seamlessly blends captivating design elements with a premium aesthetic, setting a new standard for mid-range phones.
Realme 11 Pro+ 5G specifications
The Realme 11 Pro+ has a 6.7-inch OLED panel that offers Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 360Hz touch sampling rate, 10-bit colors, 100 percent P3 color gamut, a 500000:1 contrast ratio, 950 nits of peak brightness, and HDR10+ support. The screen is shielded by Dragontrail Glass. During my usage, I encountered no significant visibility challenges when using the Realme 11 Pro+ outdoors in bright sunlight.
The display offers 2160Hz PWM dimming, which effectively reduces screen flickering and minimizes visual fatigue. It introduces an industry-first 20,000-level automatic brightness adjustment for optimized screen backlight experience, reducing physical brightness differences, and ensuring accurate and delicate backlight brightness adjustment. With dual speakers onboard and HDR10+ support, the Realme 11 Pro+ with HDR10+ is an ideal phone for binge-watching on OTT platforms.
Under the hood, the Realme 11 Pro+ has the Dimensity 7050, which is nothing but a rebranded version of the Dimensity 1080 that powers the Realme 10 Pro series. The Realme 11 Pro+ has LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. To recall, the 10 Pro+ features UFS 2.2 storage.
Despite having a lot of preloaded apps, the 11 Pro+ operates smoothly as it runs on the Realme UI 4.0-based Android 13 OS. The handset offers up to 12 GB of virtual RAM. Realme has confirmed that the Realme 11 Pro series will receive two years of Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates. The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery that supports 100W charging. I was able to charge the device completely in under 35 minutes using the in-box charger.
The Realme 11 Pro+ introduces a 200-megapixel camera with 4-axis OIS, featuring the Samsung ISOCELL HM3 sensor. With a 1/1.4-inch size and f/1.69 aperture, the HM3 sensor provides 2x or 4x lossless zoom (4 x in-sensor zoom), unlike digital zoom, which compromises image quality when cropping the main image to 2x or 4x. The Auto Zoom feature in Street photography mode adjusts zoom and crops automatically, reducing the need for manual adjustments. Additional photography features include Super Nightscape, Moon mode, and Starry Sky mode. The device includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 selfie camera with a 90-degree FOV, delivering impressive results.
