Deisgn and Display Overview

Design and material: From the very beginning, of the Redmi Note series Xiaomi is using moderate quality material just to keep the price in range. Previously I used Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro which had Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and rear sides. But even after Corning Gorilla Glass 5, in regular use, the rear side’s chassi and battery protector got scratched by foreign elements. In Redmi Note 11, they’re claiming only the front side of the device is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3, till now it performed nicely. But I guess we will have to wait to find out how strong it is in reality. The back side of the device is made with polycarbonate or plastic material which made the device much more lightweight and easy to handle.

But there will be scratches for sure in regular use if no cases are used. Apart from these, the device got two (2) microphones, one at the bottom (main mic.) and another one on the top (noise canceling mic.). It has a dual stereo speaker on both the top and bottom sides of the device. Along with that one of the most important things is the 3.5mm audio port is also situated in the top left corner of the device. In the bottom middle, it got the charging port USB 2.0 Type-C charging port. Unfortunately, this Redmi Note 11 doesn’t have any notification LED, but as it’s an OLED panel so they’ve introduced a few features using which users can get notified of the incoming notifications.

Both lock and volume keys are comfortable to press. The front side of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro has a front-facing camera. Just over the front camera, their speakers grill.

The body finish looks good except for the plastic-made battery cover, every other item is placed and assembled properly though the camera could be installed more precisely, it doesn’t create any functional or operational error.

Display, fingerprint sensor, and speaker: As Redmi Note 11 has an AMOLED display panel with 1000 nits (max brightness), at night it seemed to work perfectly fine. In daylight, if the brightness level is increased then there are no issues with the clarity of the display. But when there is extreme sunlight condition and this display just performed more than expected, because it enables the high contrast settings whenever you go under extreme sunlight, the color get disturbed by a certain percentage but visibillity works just excellent. With the help of light sensor the settings gets auto controlled by the MIUI. There is an auto-brightness option that can auto-adjust the display brightness which can draw more power than usual still it can help when under direct sunlight.

Apart from that, the notch looks perfectly fine along with the camera. The notch can be hidden though from the Display Settings option. There are multiple themes, wallpaper, and screen saver options in the MIUI market which can be downloaded for free. Also, you can customize your gallery’s image and use them as a lock screen or main screen background.

Always-On Display: The display has the always-on feature as it’s an AMOLED panel. It has several options and choices for multiple screen saver facilities. The clock can be set up or an animation. Though it draws a certain amount of charge in operation just looks good.

Other features: The default MIUI Reading Mode works perfectly okay in this AMOLED display. During reading newspapers or books, it didn’t cause any eye irritation. Also, another good thing about the display is its pixel density which is near about ~409ppi. In this price range, 409 is a good number. The icons look amazing, and the corners, depth, and clarity of each object are clear and sharp enough.

90 Hz Refresh rate: As it’s a budget-friendly device so they kept it within 90Hz, also it’d be hard for the chipset to manage a 120Hz panel with that much power. Still, it’s a boost for many of those who are used to running devices with 60 Hz display. But for people who are used to running 120Hz or more, it could be an issue.

The microphones are very crispy, and the speakers performed well in all stereo audio tests, but the loudness of the speaker is another surprize in this price range. The speaker is loud enough when operating in stereo mode and tuned in general.

The fingerprint sensor worked just fine. It was accurate and precise enough when used. Take very less time to unlock the device or get into any app if locked with fingerprints. But we’ve noticed in a few devices the fingerprint sensor was not assembled properly. This could be regular man-do or less attention when checking the appearance of the devices.
