A Chinese brand subsidiary Xiaomi, the company Redmi, officially introduced its eleventh generation of affordable devices in the Redmi Note series at the start of 2021. In today’s article, we’ll compare two devices from this lineup. Will the previous year’s successful model Redmi Note 10 Pro dominate? Or will the new Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G) pleasantly surprise you?

We also tested the previous model with the Note 10 Pro label on our website, as part of a full review. You can read it at the link below.

But how does this pair turn out in a direct comparison of the most important features? That’s exactly what we’ll try to answer in today’s comparison article.

Technical specs: Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G)

These two affordable smartphones not only target a very similar group of users, but also come with remarkably similar technical specifications. We’re increasingly seeing questions from our readers that focus specifically on these two phones and the dilemma of which one to choose in the end. Here’s the basic comparison of their official technical specifications:

Design & Display: 120 Hz AMOLED on both generations

At first glance, the two devices are very similar in size. With the exception of sharper edges on the newer Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G), the size difference is really only at the millimeter level. The display plays a big role here. In both cases, you get a 6.67″ AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels) and a high refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.

The display also adapts to the content you’re viewing on your smartphone. The advantage of the newer device is slightly higher standard brightness and a high sampling rate of up to 360 Hz, which gamers of more graphically demanding titles will especially appreciate.

Performance: Newer 5G processor

The topic of discussion about the Redmi Note 10 Pro device was specifically the used processor – Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G (336 250 points on AnTuTu). A mid-range processor with 5G connectivity offered slightly worse performance than the previous year’s, slightly more competitive Snapdragon 765G model. Even so, the smartphone is quite fast even when doing more demanding multitasking, which our review also confirmed.

If you want higher performance after all, you can go for the newer Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G), which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (405,259 points on AnTuTu). It should deliver smooth operation for gaming titles, as well as practical multitasking—made even better by the new MIUI 13 system.

Camera: 108 MP in both versions

The camera setup is also very similar, at least when it comes to the main camera sensor. In both cases, you get a 108 MP main sensor with an f/1.9 aperture and support for Dual-Pixel PDAF technology.

In the previous Note 10 Pro model, the main sensor is complemented by a 8 MP ultra-wide sensor (118°), a 5 MP macro sensor, and a 2 MP depth sensor for background blur. In this case, the front camera has 16 MP (f/2.5) and is housed in a cutout at the top of the screen.

The new Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G) offers, besides the main sensor, a 8 MP ultra-wide sensor (118°), a 2 MP macro sensor, and also an AI sensor for background blur. The 16 MP (f/2.4) front camera is also located in a cutout, inside the display.

Battery: The new generation brings up to twice as fast charging

With the battery capacity, you can only spot a minimal difference (5020 mAh vs 5000 mAh) in favor of last year’s smartphone. However, there’s a noticeable difference in charging speed. The Note 10 Pro model offers 33 W fast charging.

While the Note 11 Pro (5G) comes with an upgrade in the form of 67 W fast charging. With this phone, you’ll reach 100% in just 36 minutes, and the fast charger is also included directly in the box.

Price and availability of Redmi smartphones

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is still on sale, and on offer from international sellers it’s priced at roughly from €250. If you need a new smartphone urgently, it’s a sensible buy even in 2022.

Are you shopping on DHGate for the first time?

The process is in the DHgate mobile app. The Buy Now button takes you straight from the product page to checkout, and the coupon box is all the way at the very end of the page—which is why most people miss it and pay the full price.

  2. On the product page, click Buy NowDHgate redirects you from the product straight to checkout Place Order, and the cart is skipped. So before you click, check the variant—color, memory, and version.
  3. Fill in the address without diacritics and choose paymentAt the top of checkout, enter the delivery address—write your name, street, and city without accents and diacritics, otherwise the shipment may get stuck with the carrier. Then tap Select Payment Method. Also note the Ship from info—items shipped from the EU warehouse usually take days, and they don’t go through customs clearance.
  4. Scroll all the way down to the Coupon code lineThe coupon box is at the very end of the page, below the offer Buy It Together. Look for the line Coupon code with the text Enter code here and tap it.
    Riadok Coupon code s textom Enter code here v pokladni aplikácie DHgate
    You’ll find the Coupon code line only below the summary, above Order Total.
  5. Paste the code and confirm ApplyA window will open Use Promo Code. Paste the copied code into it and tap the yellow Apply. Enter the code exactly, including uppercase letters and without spaces.
    Okno Use Promo Code so zadaným kupónom a tlačidlom Apply v aplikácii DHgate

    After opening the Saved line, you can see the applied coupon as DH Coupon.
You only have about half an hour to pay. There’s a countdown on the Confirm to pay button — when it runs out, the order is canceled and you have to create it again. So enter the coupon before you start paying.
DHgate sometimes adds a discount automatically. The Saved line may already be filled in before you enter any code. After pressing Apply, compare the Order Total — if it didn’t go down, the code either wasn’t applied or it’s weaker than the discount DHgate gave you automatically.

On the other hand, the new generation—including the Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G)—is not available yet and should hit the market during February 2022. The launch price is expected to be around €290 – €335, converted and depending on the configuration.

Final verdict: Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G)

If we look at both smartphones in depth, you’ll see they’re still a solid choice when you’re shopping for a new device under 300 €. The advantage of the newer Redmi Note 11 Pro (5G) is a slightly more powerful processor, MIUI 13 system optimization, and also fast charging up to 67 W.
