Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G India (8GB + 256GB)

  • Stellar 120Hz AMOLED display with great brightness and vibrant colors for its price segment.
  • Extremely fast charging speeds (67W in India, 120W in some global variants) with the charger included in the box.
  • Good main 108MP camera that produces detailed photos with accurate colors in good lighting and decent low-light performance with night mode.
  • Excellent dual stereo speakers tuned by JBL, offering loud and rich audio quality, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Solid and attractive design with a premium glass back and an IP53 splash-resistance rating.
  • Reliable and fast side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
  • Good overall battery life, often lasting a full day or more with regular use.
  • Decent performance for daily tasks and casual gaming, thanks to the capable Snapdragon 695 5G chipset.
  • Includes features like a hybrid dual-SIM slot, expandable storage (microSD), NFC (in some regions), and an IR blaster.

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

  • The phone launched with an older Android 11 OS, and software updates are slow and sometimes buggy.
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps, with no 4K or 1080p at 60fps options, which was a downgrade from its predecessor, the Note 10 Pro Max.
  • Ancillary cameras (8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro) are underwhelming and produce soft, less detailed images.
  • The phone is considered bulky/heavy and its flat-edged design can make it uncomfortable to hold for some users.
  • Performance can suffer from occasional jitter, lag, and dropped frames during sustained heavy gaming, and some users note the phone getting warm.
  • Aggressive background app management in the software can close running applications like podcast players.
  • Lack of HDR10 support for video streaming on platforms like Netflix and YouTube.
  • The camera module protrudes significantly, causing the phone to wobble when placed on a flat surface.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G (8GB + 256GB) offers a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display, a Snapdragon 695 processor, and a large 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charging. Key strengths include its vibrant, high-refresh-rate screen, impressive battery longevity with exceptionally fast charging, loud stereo speakers, and a solid 108MP main camera for good photos in daylight. However, the device has notable drawbacks, such as the absence of 4K video recording, poor performance from its secondary ultra-wide and macro lenses, and the fact it launched on the older Android 11 with fewer promised OS updates compared to competitors.
