The Redmi Note 11 is the the first Xiaomi phone I tested this year.
and although at first glance it looks good with its 90Hz AMOLED display,
4 rear cameras and also a micro SD card holder.
The truth is that as an entry-level phone it just doesn't measure up
and it is for that very reason that I do not recommend it.
But you know what I do recommend?
The sponsor of today's video, NordPass,
is a password manager that you probably need and don't know
since it works for any operating system, so you
you will always have all
your passwords synchronized and will allow you to fill them more easily.
But best of all, you won't have to remember to remember them, which means that
you'll be able to create some more complex ones
and not your name or the typical one.
12345.
And don't worry because NordPass
will tell you when your password has been compromised
and also those that you should change because they are too easy to guess.

with the link I will leave in the description or simply with the code NEWESC.
And note that if you use one of the two.
They will also give you a free month.
Let's see.
Whenever I make a video not recommending a Xiaomi product,
people usually call me a hater of sellout and many other things,
but the truth is that I base my criticisms
on empirical evidence that anyone can replicate.
And when a phone does something well.
I give him credit too.
In the Redmi Note 11 for example, we have a good AMOLED screen at 90Hz,
which although for me is too saturated too saturated by default,
we can always calibrate manually from the settings.
And if we add to this its two speakers, which are very powerful that are very powerful and the audio jack
that it brings, we have a good equipment for multimedia consumption.
And as for its design, it seems to me quite ergonomic
with the audio jack on the side, although it is true that the construction itself
feels quite low-end and the last positive aspect it has
is its large 5000mAh battery, in conjunction with the 33 watt fast charging
that for any person will last more than a day of heavy use.
So far so good because the only thing they have done was to copy the specs
we had in the Redmi Note 10 and put a screen with a better
refresh rate which in a general way improve your experience.
But in everything else, in everything else they screwed up....
So from now on, I will tell you all the reasons why
I don't recommend this mobile, but if you are liking this kind of liking this kind of content
a little more direct and honest, don't forget to subscribe.
Well, the first reason is in its proximity sensor, or rather,
in the lack of it, since it doesn't even work,
regardless of how you have the cell phone.
You would think that after all the complaints of all the complaints about this
virtual proximity sensor, Xiaomi would learn something about this.
But no, and worst of all, it's not even this, but its bad
performance, which compares to of a Redmi Note 9S with 4GB of RAM.
Bullshit.
I think this is
even worse, in the Speedtest I usually do by opening applications.
The Redmi Note 11 opened all apps in 55 seconds
and the second lap was completed in one minute and 47 seconds.
Values far worse than those of the Redmi Note 10 Pro than those of the Redmi Note 10 Pro
or even the Poco X3 Pro then when I tested it in tested it in games it was even worse,
getting only 13 fps in
Genshin Impact in ARK Evolved because it doesn't even open
and in Sky children of the light the phone was blocked the phone while testing
and the reason why I'm comparing it with the little x3 pro
is because this one you can also you can get it for less than 200 €.
and with the Redmi Note 10 Pro because as a matter of logic that
Xiaomi doesn't seem to follow.
On the OnePlus to give you an example, you can see how the OnePlus 9 shares
many specifications that we saw in the OnePlus 8 Pro
and the same goes for iPhones, with each generation in which
the new normal version because it brings a lot of things that so
we only saw in the PRO version
and with the Redmi Note 11 as I expected it to be
at least better than the Redmi Note 10, not the 10 Pro, just with the 10.
But it's not.
And it is not because of the processor in the Snapdragon.
680, which according to the nomenclature, you would think that
is better than 678 of the Redmi Note 10 but has a worse modem.
It does not support Quick Charge 4 and its GPU is also worse.
Moreover, the GPU is the same that we saw in the Snapdragon 665.
which was launched in the Redmi Note 8 in 2019.
That's why I'm not surprised
the lousy experience I've had in those moments in which
I have been a bit more demanding or that the device itself
is not able to record in 4K when its previous version was.
But beware, even at 1080p stabilization is not so good
as it should and at 60 frames it sucks.
Just so you understand that this is due to the processor.
You can see how the little X3 Pro with the Snapdragon
860 does not have this problem.
It doesn't help that it comes with MIUI 13 a very complete customization layer,
but which is not characterized for its optimization
in low performance models
and that in this one it's full of junk apps that you'll have to get rid of. junk that you'll have to get rid of.
And note that on the contrary, what many people think MIUI 13
has two versions, one that launches on Android 12
and another one based on Android 11 and guess which one this one has?
Well yes, Android 11, even though it is a device that was released
in 2022 and to finish this massacre I want to talk about its cameras,
which actually wins quite a few points for the mobile having an AMOLED screen.
And yes, I know that these two specs have nothing to do with each other,
but when you're taking the picture and you see the image on the screen,
it will seem to you that the colors are a little more vibrant.
And if you see all the pictures you take on the same cell phone screen you'll think
that they are good, but I'm sorry to tell you that they could be better.
This photo with excellent luminosity I love this one with the front camera
great, the level of detail of the remote control
brutal, as long as and when you have good conditions.
The pictures you get are decent, but if you start using
the wide angle you will notice a good loss of quality.
And the same goes for the macro, which is at least better than I expected.
Or in photos where the light is not perfect.
Also we see a rather artificial smoothing,
but when you compare it to the little x3 but you notice how the range
dynamic range is worse, the sharpness in the pictures too,
and for some reason the white balance is very yellow.
You see, for me the Redmi Note 11
is a device that I can't recommend and I'm surprised who does.
I am very grateful to Wireless Place who has been the the store that recommended it to me,
but the truth is that it doesn't matter if you buy the the 4G RAM version of 6GB of RAM
if it costs less than 200 €,
it is simply not a good product.
And no, I don't think it will improve with upgrades
because we are talking about Xiaomi, which doesn't have a good resume
in upgrading lower mid-range mobiles.
Besides that, why do I want to wait I want to wait for an update
if for the same price I have the little x3 pro which is still as of today
the best option you can buy for less than 200 €.
So
man, this is my opinion,
if you have a different one I read you in the comments and remember you.

See you in the next one. Bye bye.
