what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are taking
a quick look at the differences between the xiaomi redmi note 11 pro 5g and the regular
xiaomi redmi note 11. now price wise there is a difference of about a hundred dollars between
the redmi note 11 pro 5g and the regular redmi note 11. so is it worth spending that 100 to
buy the note 11 pro 5g over the regular one well we're definitely gonna find out in today's video
okay first of all looking at the screens so on the redmi note 11 pro 5g we do get a somewhat
larger screen this is a 6.67 inches amoled screen with the 1080p resolution where on the regular
redmi note 11 we get the 6.43 inches amoled screen once again with the 1080p resolution
now the refresh rate is a bit different so on the redmi note 11 pro we get a refresh rate of
hertz where on the regular redmi note 11 we get a refresh rate of 90 hertz i highly doubt that
you're going to be able to spot that on the camera but in person yes you can tell the difference the
redmi note 11 pro 5g is slightly smoother when scrolling up and down on twitter instagram and
stuff like that it does feel a bit um smoother but is it worth spending that extra money i'm not sure
about that the big brightness on the redmi note 11 pro 5g is also 1200 nits where the peak brightness
on the redmi note 11 is a thousand nits and you may be able to spot a difference if you do take
the phones outside indirect sunlight because this one is a bit easier to be seen in direct sunlight
so the redmi note 11 pro 5g so if you are outside a lot and you live in a super sunny place maybe
that extra brightness is worth spending the money for um for this one the redmi note 11 pro 5g the
11 pro is also a bit heavier so we have 202 grams versus 179 grams of course the redmi note 11 is a
bit smaller so a bit easier to hold in your hand a bit easier to keep it in your pocket and so on on
the back so you also have a bit of a difference so on the back of the redmi note 11 pro we have glass
so this is glass right here where on the back of the regular redmi note 11 we have plastic so the
11 pro 5g does feel a bit more premium whenever you're holding it in your hand compared to the
regular um note 11. they kind of look the same so the same squarish looking um frame i'm gonna say
at the top there we have the same 3.5 mil audio jack we have the same second speaker we have an
ir blaster on both devices and on the right hand sides here um we have the power button that's also
a fingerprint scanner on both i think the 11 pro has a somewhat faster fingerprint scanner but just
slightly faster so this is how the fingerprint scanner on the regular redmi note 11 works
so it's not slow by any means but i feel that this one has the somewhat um faster fingerprint
scanner just slightly but maybe that's just me but it does seem slightly faster and at the bottom we
have the usbc charging port and the second speaker now with the redmi note 11 you can install two sim
cards and an sd card at the same time so the sim card slot is sitting on the left hand side there
where the sim card slot on the redmi note 11 pro 5g is sitting at the bottom so with this one you
can either have a sd card and a sim card or two sim cards at the same time so you cannot have
two sim cards and an sd card as you can have on the regular redmi note 11. performance wise we
have the snapdragon 695 versus the snapdragon 680 and let me open the antutu benchmark here so with
this one we get a score of about 392 000 versus 248 thousand keep in mind that i also have the
version that has eight gigs of ram for the redmi note 11 pro and the version that has four gigs
of ram for the regular redmi note 11 so that will also make a difference let me just quickly open a
few apps just so you can see how apps open so i'm gonna close everything running in the background
just so you get an idea how it would be to open certain
apps so opening apps is kind of the same on both of them even though this one is um
supposedly a bit faster but you will notice some of that performance mostly when you're playing
games if you're just scrolling through facebook for example there is almost no difference
in between the two i've also noticed something a bit unusual about the reading and writing speeds
for the internal memories so with the redmi note 11 we actually get faster reading speeds than we
get on the redmi note 11 pro 5g i don't know something that i've found them a bit unusual i
was expecting to be the total um opposite with this one the more expensive on the redmi note
11 pro 5g battery wise we have the same 5 000 milliamp hour battery inside both devices
and we do get somewhat similar battery life i think we get about an hour or more on the
regular redmi note 11. now for charging uh the redmi note 11 pro 5g so this one um supports 67
watt fast charging where this one supports 33 watt fast charging so charging the redmi note 11 from
zero to 100 takes about an hour we're charging the redmi note 11 pro 5g takes about 45 to 50 minutes
so not a massive difference considering how much faster the charging on the redmi note 11 pro 5g is
but this one will charge faster for the first 50 compared to the redmi note 11 so if you just
want a quick charge like you have 10 minutes and that's about it this one the redmi note 11 pro
5g will charge a bit faster for the beginning of the charging cycle basically moving on to camera
performance well here i was actually expecting to see a bit of a difference in between the two but
realistically there isn't that much of a difference between the two so on the back
of the redmi note 11 pro 5g we have a main camera that's 108 megapixel sensor where on the back of
the redmi note 11 we have a 50 megapixel um main camera and as i said i was expecting to see a
bit of a difference but there isn't that much of a difference i've done some camera comparison videos
between each of these phones and my iphone 13. i'm gonna leave some links in the video's description
just in case um you wanna see that so you can see what pictures and what videos you can um take
with both these devices but what i find somewhat strange is that to the cheaper redmi note 11 you
can record the maximum resolution of 1080p at 60 frames per second where the more expensive redmi
note 11 pro you can only do 1080p at 30 frames per second for video recordings not to mention that
neither device has image stabilization for video recordings so i was a bit disappointing to see
that i was actually expecting that the redmi note 11 pro 5g would at least get imi stabilization
for video recordings so for cameras if you're hoping to buy these phones just for their cameras
well i feel that last year some the redmi note 10 pro did better than both these devices for videos
and pictures so these are the main differences between the redmi note 11 pro 5g and the regular
redmi note 11 of course as the name suggests uh the note 11 pro has 5g connectivity where
the redmi note 11 you just get 4g connectivity i don't think that's a big deal a lot of carriers
these days don't support 5g connectivity quite yet so i don't think that is a big deal they both run
me ui 13 and i have to say that they're both a bit buggy for me why am 13. every so often they
will freeze for a couple of seconds so there is some work to be done for me ui 13 but that
is always the case when xiaomi introduces a new operating system basically a new version of it
and they're both of course running android 11. so if you're looking for a phone so you can play
more games i feel that this one will do a bit better for gaming than the regular redmi note 11
i highly recommend getting the redmi note 11 with at least six gigs of ram four gigs of ram
doesn't seem to be enough because miui does require a lot of ram as well so you can get a
version that has 6 gigs of ram it will do much better than the one that i have um right here
so there you have it the redmi note 11 pro 5g and the regular redmi note 11. i feel that if
you are a light user if you just scroll through instagram facebook you make phone calls you wanna
watch videos even the redmi note 11 does okay so there isn't that massive of a difference
in between these two mostly if you're a light user if you do play a lot of games maybe the
note 11 pro 5g will do a bit better for gaming due to that more powerful cpu that we have inside it
there you have it this is the redmi note 11 pro 5g and the regular redmi note 11.
