Redmi 11 Prime 5G design
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G follows the 2022 smartphone trend of a flat frame design. The rear panel of the phone curves towards the edges to ensure it sits comfortably when held. Xiaomi has used plastic materials for the back and frame, which is a common practice for smartphones in this price range. That being said, the rear panel offers good grip, thanks to the textured design. Xiaomi sent us the 6GB RAM variant of the Redmi 11 Prime 5G in Meadow Green, which seems to be the hero colour of the three.
Redmi 11 Prime 5G cameras
There is a dual-camera setup on the back of the Redmi 11 Prime 5G. The phone features a 50-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, but no ultra-wide camera. For selfies, there is an 8-megapixel front camera.
The USB Type-C port and the single speaker grille are located at the bottom edge.The Corning Gorilla Glass 3-protected display is fairly tall at 6.58 inches and offers a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen has a full-HD+ resolution and Widevine L1 certification, which means users can consume HD content on Netflix, Prime Video, etc. One downside of this display compared to few phones in the segment is the use of an IPS LCD versus AMOLED.
The left side of the phone has the SIM tray with two slots for nano-SIM cards and a third slot for a microSD card. On the right side, you get the power and volume buttons. The buttons are clicky but a bit too recessed for my liking. You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack next to the IR blaster on the top edge.
The colours are not as vibrant and the Redmi 11 Prime 5G's screen brightness maxes out at 400 nits. While the display is bright for indoor use, You also get a 22.5W fast charger and a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable. The phone, however, supports only 18W fast charging. The dated out front looks will bother many budget range phone with an waterdrop notch for the front camera.
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G is slightly on the heavier side at 200g and is also fairly thick at 8.9mm. Xiaomi has added a silicone protective case in the box.
Redmi 11 Prime 5G performance and battery life.
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G, with the MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, is a decent performer. Day-to-day tasks, such as scrolling through social media, browsing the web, etc, worked just fine. However, if you are someone who wants great gaming performance at this price, this one might disappoint. While graphic and high intense games such as Asphalt 9 Legends, Call of Duty: Mobile shadowfight ran decently well on basic settings, we noticed some stuttering during gameplay. The phone scored 521 and 1757 points in Geekbench's single-core and multi-core tests. AnTuTu, the phone scored 3,37,683 points which is impressive under Budget range smart phone of Rs 15000
