The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S 128 GB smartphone goes below €200 at Amazon Marketplace, a drop of around 21% on the price usually seen. It is currently one of our best value for money for small budgets.
A variation of the Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S plays the difference on points of detail. But if it is slightly more expensive than its brother, the smartphone is not really more efficient.

Introductory price €249
Alternative to the Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S is charged slightly more, but delivers a very comparable service. With an identical design, it also benefits from a successful Amoled screen, subject to being properly calibrated, and offers sufficient performance for everyday life. On the other hand, we note that the choice of a MediaTek Helio 96 chip weighs on its graphics performance and its autonomy, without however penalizing it disproportionately. Conversely, the integration of a 108 megapixel photo module allows it to deliver slightly more satisfactory shots. If an additional cost linked to an increase in image quality is justified, it is a shame that this gain is clouded by less power. But ultimately, it is clear that this Redmi Note 11S is a very decent mid-range smartphone.
Strong points
- Nice AMOLED screen.
- Simple but effective design.
- Daytime wide-angle photos.
Weak points
- Disappointing ultra wide-angle, especially at night.
- No 5G.
- Graphics performance worse than that of the Redmi Note 11.

After a lackluster Note 10 series, Xiaomi is recovering with this Redmi Note 11. The entry-level smartphone from the Chinese firm is a good proposition for those who need a terminal that can do everything, without necessarily excelling. Without working a miracle, this model corrects a passable photo component in its predecessor and offers a good Oled panel. Finally, its autonomy is very correct in 60 Hz or 90 Hz.
