Realme 11 Pro Review: Design and build quality
- The phone weighs 191 grams.
- It’s available in three colour variants.
Realme has always gone over the top in the design department. The company has tried almost everything, from tacky colour-changing panels to designs inspired by a suitcase. But we think the Realme 11 Pro’s design is by far the best of the lot. It is one of the most beautiful phones we’ve come across in this price segment. Realme worked in collaboration with Matteo Menotto, former designer for Gucci, who claims the city of Milan inspires the design.
Realme 11 Pro Review: Display and audio
- It features a curved AMOLED display
- The panel refreshes at 120Hz.
As mentioned, the Realme 11 Pro is an upgrade over the Realme 10 Pro. While it can be prominently seen on the design front, the display also is a part of it. The Realme 11 Pro sports a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display. The panel looks quite sleek because of the relatively thin bezels on all sides.
It has a resolution of 1080×2412 pixels with a screen density of 394 dpi. As is the case with most of the phones in today’s market, you get a 120Hz refresh rate, with an option to go down to 60Hz — to top it off, it also features an instantaneous touch sampling rate of 1260Hz.
Realme 11 Pro Review: Performance and Software
- A MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor powers it.
- It comes with Android 13 out of the box.
The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 seems to be getting comfortable in the under Rs 25,000 price segment. It recently debuted with the Lava Agni 2 and can also be found in 11 Pro’s elder sibling. It’s essentially a renamed version of the Dimensity 1080 since both run at the same clock speeds with the same fabrication process. It comes with the usual set of connectivity options but misses out on any IP rating.
Realme 11 Pro Review: Cameras
- It sports a dual camera setup with a 100-megapixel primary camera.
- The phone can record videos at 4K 30fps.
While the elder sibling gets a 200-megapixel primary camera, the younger sibling is not very far out with a 100-megapixel primary camera. However, on the numbers front, it gets an inferior camera compared to the Realme 10 Pro.
The primary camera has OIS to compensate for shakes. It misses out on an ultra-wide angle camera, like last time, which is a bummer. The secondary shooter is a 2-megapixel portrait camera. The front of the Realme 11 Pro features a 16-megapixel camera for selfies.
The camera UI is pretty much the same as last year, though we found a very interesting mode which takes a burst shot (contains three images) of a single frame. It then showcases three different photos with a focus on every perspective. As for the rest, Realme’s traditional Street mode can be seen here, too, along with Group Portrait, which is a great addition.
Photos captured in daylight were bright, contrasty and detailed. The post-processing tends to boost the greens, as you can see in the images above. Despite that, the photos were quite eye-candy and social-media ready. On default settings, the phone clicks pixel-binned 12-megapixel shots, but you have the option to switch to Hi-Res shots using the full 100-megapixel shooter.
Capturing these shots doesn’t take much time, and photos contain more details. However, the dynamic range on the Realme 11 Pro wasn’t up to the mark in most scenarios, as we noticed overblown highlights often. In some cases, it managed to over-brighten the image for no reason.
The Realme 11 Pro allows you to zoom 20x digitally, but the company claims the in-sensor 2x zoom can click lossless images. This mode takes a bit of warmth out of the picture, and while it looks decent on the surface, zooming in reveals a bunch of watercolour effects on the foliage.
The Street mode also has two options: 26mm and 52mm, which is essentially 1x and 2x. What we enjoyed more in the Street Mode was the auto-zoom effect. A single tap on the subject locks the focus and then slowly zooms into it. It looks quite cool and lowers the burden of you trying to pinpoint the subject and pinch into the screen. Portrait mode also works well, with a good blur effect.
The selfie camera is rather underwhelming, with unnecessary skin-smoothening despite the filter being turned off. Photos clicked when facing the sunlight reproduced overblown highlights on our faces, and the same can be seen in Portrait mode. Speaking of which, edge detection was also average, as it couldn’t handle our hair strands well.
The Realme 11 Pro can record optically stabilised videos at 1080p. You get an option to enable ultra-steady in the settings.
Realme 11 Pro Review: Battery life and charging
- It packs in a 5,000mAh battery.
- It takes the phone an hour and 10 minutes to charge fully.
You get an 80W charger in the box, but the phone supports only up to 67W. Realme also seems to be running with an excess stock of 80W chargers in the factory.
The battery backup on the Realme 11 Pro is excellent, with a screen time of anywhere north of the six-and-a-half-hour mark. Our usage mainly consisted of scrolling through social media apps, using the camera, and binge-watching Asur.
The phone takes half an hour to reach the 60 per cent mark and an hour and 10 minutes to fully charge from dead, which is on par with the competition.
