A variant of the Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S stands out in terms of specifications. But if it’s a bit more expensive than its sibling, the smartphone isn’t really that useful.

Graphics performance is worse than Redmi Note 11.
Redmi Note 11’s replacement, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 11S costs barely more, but offers a very comparable service. With a similar design, it also benefits from a successful AMOLED screen, provided it’s properly calibrated, and offers enough performance for everyday use. On the other hand, we note that the selection of the MediaTek Helio 96 chip is weighted towards its graphics performance and its autonomy, without, however, imposing a disproportionate penalty on it. Conversely, the integration of a 108-megapixel photo module allows it to deliver slightly more satisfying shots. If an additional cost associated with increased image quality is justified, it’s a shame that this benefit is overshadowed by lower power. But ultimately, it’s clear that the Redmi Note 11S is a very decent mid-range smartphone.
