Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G / Xiaomi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G / Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro + 5G

Ridiculously fast carging ; Strong display ; Good stereo speakers ; Solid performance

MIUI cluttered and a little glitchy ; Camera not quite as special as it seems

The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G packs a fine display, a classy design, and staggeringly rapid charging into a sub-£400 package. Camera and performance are solid rather than spectacular, but that’s more than enough to make this one of the better phones in...

Likable dual-glass design, matte finish, IP53-rated.

Minor upgrades over Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Obviously, the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is not ideal. While it aces some aspects, it messes up others. And its price tag is not in its favor, not until it gets a sensible price tag later on. Until this happens, we cannot recommend the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G...

Good display ; Staggeringly fast charging ; Solid overall performance ; Good speakers ; 120W charger included

Clunky software experience ; Outdated Android version ; Flaky Bluetooth performance ; Smaller battery than cheaper sibling

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G doesn't differ hugely from the slightly cheaper Note 11 Pro 5G in the overall performance or the experience. It does have really fast charging, though, which might swing it for you. Otherwise, there's little to pick between...

4K/30fps video recording ; 120W fast-charging ; Bright and vibrant display ; NFC, headphone jack, and microSD card slot

Camera bump is unsightly ; Mediocre performance ; Unimpressive camera output ; Still runs Android 11

The Redmi Note 11 series, with its four models, is undoubtedly Xiaomi's attempt to stand up to the iPhone 13 quartet with more affordable prices. Unlike those iPhones, however, the differences between the four models are so slim that it creates...

Sharp design ; Capable main camera ; Superfast 120W charging ; Headphone jack

Disappointing ultrawide and macro lenses ; Older Android 11

The Note 11 Pro+ 5G is an affordable phone that has more than its fair share of strengths. It may not excel in any particular area, but it does most things very well for the price.

Really good audio ; Good 120Hz display ; Above average battery life ; Outstanding charging speeds ; Slick and classy design ; Good photo quality ; Has expandable storage ; Good haptics ; Great gaming performance

Only two years of major Android updates ; Comes with already old OS ; Video stabilization leaves more to be desired ; Comes with preinstalled bloatware

Very little compromise on features for such an affordable phone ; Great primary camera ; Stunning visuals from large, bright, display ; Exceptional charging speed for pricepoint

Two of the three rear cameras are average at best ; Lower overall CPU/GPU performance compared to some other phones at same price

Bright and colour-accurate display ; Long-lasting battery ; Superfast charging speeds ; Great primary camera

No HDR playback on Netflix, YouTube ; Can’t record 1080p@60 or 4K@30 ; Doesn’t offer sustained performance

The isn’t as value-for-money a phone as the device it's replacing, the ( ). It checks some boxes but overall, I expected it to be a refinement over one of the best-selling mid-range phones. Instead, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is an iterative update at best...
