Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E Review

  2. The hardware section is led by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset.
  3. For the software, The Redmi Note 11E runs on the Android 11 OS with MIUI 13 user interface.

  5. The device houses a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery, that supports 18W fast charging.

Design and Display

As far as the look is concerned, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E does not offer anything unique. The handset possesses a familiar & simple layout with a water-drop notch at the front. Also, the camera module is similar to many other smartphones from the same segment. Although, the matte pattern design layout makes the phone looks pretty attractive.

As the device weighs 200 grams, it may feel bulky and uncomfortable for prolonged handling. Besides, Customers will be able to purchase the phone in Gray, Silver, and Atlantic Blue colors. The color options are cool and apt for different personalities. Besides this, if you are looking for something out of the box, you can click out the Atlantic Blue shade option.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E sports a 6.58 inches IPS LCD display screen with a 90Hz refresh rate support. As we know AMOLED screen is always better than an LCD, even with a lower refresh rate, but considering the price, the display of Note 11E is fairly smooth and reasonable. Thus, altogether the design and display are neither impressive nor under-whelming.

Memory and Internal

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E is powered by a 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, which is a fast processor and supports 5G connectivity. As a result, day-to-day working is smooth. Moreover, gaming will also be enjoyable however, there may be a few frame drops while gaming, yet the device is power efficient. Although The smartphone may heat a little while playing on higher settings, still users won’t witness excessive heating issues.

The processor is paired with 4GB/6GB of RAM, and the device packs 128GB of internal storage. The storage is not expandable as there is no microSD card slot. Apart from this, the phone also renders UFS 2.2 memory type that increases the overall processing and transfer speed.

Apart from this, the device runs on Android 11 OS with MIUI 13 user interface. The user interface is clean and articulate, but the outdated Android version is a major downside when you compare to other brands like Vivo which provide the latest Android 12 OS out of the box with their recent mid-range phones.

Camera

Xiaomi Redmi note 11E is incorporated with a dual-camera module at its rear side, consisting of a 50MP main and a 2MP depth lens. The day-light image quality from the primary lens is average, and low-light shots are even poor. On the front, it gets a 5MP camera for selfies. Again, the results are not impressive but manageable. Other camera features include LED flash, HDR, and panorama.

On the other hand, the image processing unit works great in the daylight and captures decent colors and contrast. Though the phone is lacking some aspects of dynamic range, everything looks impeccable with the help of the native camera application. But at the same time, the camera setup letdown the whole experience as you are only getting dual camera support.

Except for images, the videos can be recorded at 1080p at 30fps. Apparently, the ability to record 4k video and stabilization is now a flagship feature and no longer exists on mid-range smartphones so let’s not demand that. Recently the brands are seen compromising on the optics section in the medium-range segment and the same is the case here.

Battery and Others

The battery life is an essential feature to be considered in a budget-friendly smartphone. Redmi note 11E owns a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery along with an 18W fast charging support to fuel the device. The battery life is enough for a day of medium usage. Though, if the company would have added more charging speed, it would be superb.

Anyway, the comms like WLAN, Bluetooth, and GPS, are here, whereas, for authentication, it fetches a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The smartphone arrives with a starting price tag of $190 (Rs 14,000 in India) approx. For this price range, the phone fits apt according to the demands of a regular user.
