I made this comment with the Redmi Note 11 S 8/128 with additional 256 San Disk Micro SD card is Awesome. Awesome in every aspect, good stereo speaker too, no complain at all. Thanks Redmi.

I've had this phone for two weeks and I can say that the cameras are only good when you have natural lighting or great artificial lighting. However, when you're indoors be it day or night and the light source isn't as strong, the images produced aren't pleasant at all. They are excessively grainy and they look like oil paintings done using only dark colours. And this affects the quality of video calls too.

The only site i trust for checking each device specs

As a Redmi Note 10 user I can say that this phone is a good investment if you are often binge-watching movies or just a casual user who want to save more battery. Redmi Note 10 is still a good phone if you are either after the camera features or want a powerful enough chipset for gaming for not more than $200 price.

If you are stuck buying between the two devices I provided a guide on what specifications department suits you.

Movie Watchers = Display
Casual Users = Battery
Photographers and Videographers = Camera
Gamers = Performance

Display = Redmi Note 11
Battery = Redmi Note 11
Camera = Redmi Note 10
Performance = Redmi Note 10

pretty good budget phone, considering that its only 150eur in my region for the 6+128 variant, kinda disappointed about the lack of android 12 though

I like the design of the Note 10's and it's camera capability but losing those is alright for me. As long as those losses were put into good use.

I paid AU$280 for this phone. It’s the best. The back of the one I got is blue and fades into purple. It has glitter in it and it literally sparkles in light. Camera is great, everything is great.

I have the note 8t. It's a great phone. I don't see the need to upgrade. 4gb ram, 64gb + 128gb SD card. I barely use the camera and I feel like that's the only parts that gets upgraded these days. I'd even consider buying a smart phone with out a camera and up to date specs on everything else.

Watching this with my Redmi Note 11
Freaking love this phone, it's a great package with this price!

[hashirmoghal]

I have bought this device on the launch. It literally lags sometimes, even the drop down panel. In videos recording, there are visible frame cuts.

One thing i like about Xiaomi smartphones is they put infrared on their smartphones and very helpful on everyday life.

Redmi N11 is the Most underrated phone from Xiaomi/Redmi till date.. Amazing experience 👌

[soobinsii]

I sold my Pixel 6 and bought this. The experience is much better since I don't need gaming. Gcam port somehow helped the camera.

[MyNameIsntLong]

my phone sucks right now so im looking for a new phone that i can actually afford and the note 11 was a phone i could afford so thanks for the info i might get it

[ajk]

This phone suffers with one BIG problem. The CPU frequency gets stuck at 690Mhz/1100Mhz after 6-8 hours of usage. At this frequency, phone feels really really slow and jittery, ruining the user experience completely

There is no way you gonna get that bumped up back to > 2000 Mhz CPU speeds without a restart. I have tried running umpteen applications, benchmarks and none of them get the CPU freq to bump back to 2000Mhz.

Looks like an issue with CPU governor/badly managed thermals. Hope MI fixes this soon.

So, its good for basic usage and less gaming.
Battery life is amazing (thanks to the 6nm chipset and 5000mAh battery). Btw I'm using Redmi note 11 only🙂🤘.
Quite impressed with it as I don't play games on mobile and need for basic usage.

[QuickQuips]

Strange the Note 11 Pro doesn’t have the dual sim and dedicated sd like the 10. Yet the regular Note 11 has it. Still an awesome value.

I want That phone usually I'm using my old phone): i always watchign that phone every day it's so cool

[mrrob]

Is this an upgrade from a Galaxy Note 8? Thanks.
