Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent 120Hz AMOLED display that is bright and offers great color accuracy and contrast.
  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting a full day of heavy use or up to two days with moderate use.
  • Incredibly fast 67W wired charging, with the charger included in the box.
  • Premium-feeling design with a dual-glass, matte finish and IP53 splash resistance rating.
  • Loud and good quality stereo speakers, along with the retention of a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via microSD.
  • Solid main 108MP camera performs well in good lighting and has an effective night mode.
  • Good overall performance for daily tasks and general use, supported by the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset.
  • Offers good value for money, providing many features found on more expensive phones.
  • Includes useful extra features such as NFC and an IR blaster, allowing it to function as a universal remote.

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

  • Video recording is a major weakness, capped at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second with no 4K option, a downgrade from its predecessor.
  • Performance can be lackluster for demanding tasks like heavy gaming compared to other similarly priced options (e.g., Poco F3).
  • Ships with the older Android 11 operating system out of the box, with a limited number of future Android version updates expected.
  • Secondary cameras (ultrawide and macro) are mediocre and significantly weaker than the main lens, often producing soft or noisy images.
  • Pre-installed bloatware (unwanted apps and games) is abundant and annoying to deal with initially.
  • Aggressive power management settings may close background apps (like audio streams) unexpectedly unless manually configured.
  • The 120Hz refresh rate is not dynamic, forcing users to manually choose between the smoother experience and better battery life.
  • Some users report occasional software bugs or freezing in basic applications.
  • Lacks support for HDR video content playback.

Verdict

The Redmi Note 11 Pro (6GB + 128GB) is a feature-rich mid-range smartphone with a vibrant 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display and a 108MP main camera for detailed photos. It boasts a large 5,000mAh battery with fast 67W charging and loud stereo speakers, making it a strong choice for media consumption. A primary downside is the subpar performance of its secondary ultra-wide and macro cameras, along with a lack of 4K video recording, which was available on its predecessor.
