A variation of the Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S stands out in terms of details. But if it is slightly more expensive than its brother, the smartphone is not really more efficient.
Strong points
Beautiful Amoled screen.
Simple but effective design.
Daytime wide-angle photos.
Weak points
Ultra wide-angle disappointing, especially at night.
No 5G.
Graphics performance worse than that of the Redmi Note 11.
An alternative to the Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S is priced barely more, but delivers a very comparable service. With an identical design, it also benefits from a successful Amoled screen, provided it is properly calibrated, and offers sufficient performance for everyday use. 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 increased image quality is justified, it is a shame that this gain is overshadowed by lower power. But ultimately, it is clear that this Redmi Note 11S constitutes a very suitable mid-range smartphone.
