Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus (8GB + 256GB) is a feature-rich mid-range smartphone offering a fast and smooth user experience, highlighted by its 6.67-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display and exceptionally fast 120W wired charging. It is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G processor and a triple-camera system featuring a high-resolution 108MP main sensor. The phone also boasts stereo speakers tuned by JBL, a 3.5mm headphone jack, expandable storage via a hybrid microSD slot, and a decent 4500mAh battery. However, some compromises include disappointing low-light performance from the selfie and macro cameras, the lack of 4K video recording, and a tendency for faster battery drain when the 120Hz refresh rate is enabled.
