What customers don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Ancillary (ultrawide and macro) cameras are only average and lack detail
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps (on some variants), with no 4K option, which is a key drawback for some users
  • Ships with an older Android 11 OS (instead of Android 12) and provides limited major OS updates
  • Pre-installed software (MIUI) comes with bloatware/unwanted apps and can have occasional bugs
  • Phone is relatively heavy and not very ergonomic for some users due to its large size and flat edges
  • Battery health/capacity may degrade over a few years, requiring more frequent charging

Verdict

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (8GB + 256GB) offers a powerful mid-range experience, headlined by its stunning 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display and lightning-fast 120W HyperCharge, which charges the 4500mAh battery in just 15 minutes. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor and features a versatile 108MP main camera setup for detailed photos. Key pros include the exceptional charging speed, vibrant screen, and decent performance for the price point. A potential minor con is the presence of some pre-installed bloatware (MIUI) and a plastic frame build, which may feel less premium than glass alternatives.
