You don’t want to spend much money Whatever else you want to say about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, it’s certainly cheap. Considering how much you’re spending, you get a decent set of specs and features.
Battery life matters to you With a 5,000mAh-capacity battery fitted inside, you should easily get through a day and then some before having to recharge the phone, though there’s no wireless charging.
You appreciate a good screen Another area where the Redmi Note 11 gives you more than you might expect is the display: the 6.43-inch AMOLED screen is vivid and crisp, and is a pleasure to look at.
Don’t buy it if…
You need 5G The absence of 5G is one of the big misses on the Redmi Note 11 – especially as you don’t have to pay all that much to get the next-gen connectivity on a smartphone these days.
You like a clean software experience The MIUI software that Xiaomi puts on its smartphones isn’t our favorite: it’s not terrible, but other smartphones give you a better software experience when it comes to Android.
You need a good camera The cameras attached to the Redmi Note 11 do an okay job but not much more than that, especially at night, so if you need really great photos you might want to look elsewhere.
