What owners say about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (6GB + 128GB)

Based on 183 owners sharing their experience in online comments

54%positive12%mixed34%negative

Owners praise fast performance, long battery life and premium design, but fault the cameras, limited video and software glitches.

What owners dislike

  • Night shots are noisy and often ruined, low-light photos get grainy, and macro and selfie photos come out blurry or washed out.18
  • Video tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with no 4K or 60 fps recording and no stabilization, and footage often looks noisy.17
  • Apps lag or freeze, for example WhatsApp file sending, GoPro Quick video editing and the Play Store, and some owners miss notifications or alarms.15
  • Wi-Fi sometimes drops with a no connection message despite strong signal, mobile data may fail, and the hotspot can switch off by itself.9
  • Some owners charge twice a day, report fast drain when the phone gets warm, and say it can shut off after about three hours.8
  • In demanding games such as Call of Duty, owners get only low to medium graphics, and performance drops after about 25 minutes of constant play.7
  • Owners report heat while charging, heat at the top after an update, and overheating after a few months of use.6
  • Recorded videos can sound muffled, distorted or like a radio, playback is often quiet, and some callers hear a metallic, echoing voice.6
  • Owners say it offers little over the Redmi Note 10 Pro, with no real processor gain, and some find it weaker, so upgrading is not worth it.6
  • Netflix UHD colors look wrong because HDR seems unoptimized, and wallpapers can look dim and washed out, with auto brightness failing at times.4

What customers don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • 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 (6GB+128GB variant) is a mid-range smartphone focused on rapid charging and a vibrant display, featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, a smooth 120Hz 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, and a notable 108MP main camera. Its primary advantage is the ultra-fast 120W HyperCharge capability, which charges the 4500mAh battery in roughly 15 minutes. A key con is the phone comes with numerous pre-installed bloatware apps and still runs on the slightly dated Android 11 operating system out of the box, with some users noting the plastic build feels less premium compared to glass-backed alternatives.
