Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S (4GB + 128GB)

  • Bright and vibrant 90Hz AMOLED display, easily readable in direct sunlight.
  • Excellent battery life (5000 mAh), often lasting a full day even with heavy use or up to 2-3 days with moderate use.
  • 33W fast charging support (charger typically included in the box), with one review noting a 0-59% charge in 30 minutes.
  • Good performance for everyday tasks like social media and video streaming; smooth user experience for non-demanding use.
  • Quad-camera system (108MP main sensor) captures excellent pictures in good lighting conditions and features a good portrait mode.
  • Solid and attractive design with a comfortable in-hand feel and IP53 splash resistance.
  • Includes fan-favorite extras like a 3.5mm audio jack, IR blaster, and a dedicated microSD card slot.
  • Dual stereo speakers offer a pleasant audio experience.
  • Offers great value for its price point.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S (4GB + 128GB)

  • Does not support 5G connectivity (on the 4G model).
  • Performance is underwhelming for heavy gaming due to the MediaTek Helio G96/G95 chipset and can lead to overheating.
  • Camera performance suffers in low light conditions and lacks 4K video recording capability (limited to 1080p at 30fps).
  • Runs on Android 11 with MIUI 13 out of the box, which is an older software version.
  • Bloatware (pre-installed apps) in the user interface is a common complaint.
  • Build quality feels less premium compared to its predecessors due to cost-cutting measures, with a plastic back and a protruding camera module.
  • Some users report software bugs and performance issues after certain updates (e.g., HyperOS), including lag and random app crashes.
  • The top 'stereo' speaker is quieter than the bottom one, which some users find imbalanced.

Verdict

The Redmi Note 11S 5G (4GB + 128GB) is a budget-friendly 5G-capable smartphone featuring a 6.6-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a large 5000mAh battery with 33W Pro fast charging support. It is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor and includes a versatile 50MP AI triple rear camera system, dual speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and IP53 dust and splash resistance. Key pros include excellent battery life that can last over a day, 5G connectivity, and a smooth display experience for general use. The primary cons are its weaker graphical performance compared to some rivals (making it less ideal for heavy gaming), the use of an IPS panel instead of the more vibrant AMOLED found in its 4G sibling, and video recording that is capped at 1080p resolution.
