Realme 11 Pro: “Realme” brand on Wednesday introduced an upgraded flagship version of its Realme 11 series — the Realme 11 Pro is the latest evolution of its mid-tier range, integrating a sleek design and optimal features to make it attractive to cost-conscious consumers.
Design and Build
The Realme 11 Pro makes a real style statement, especially in the Sunrise Beige model with a leather-effect rear created in partnership with former Gucci designer Matteo Menotto.
At 161.6 x 73.9 x 8.7mm and about 183g it has a weight and size that almost doesn’t feel midrange.
The concentric circle design of the camera module breaks the monotony and guard the good imaging hardware there.
Display
Display and Notch The Realme 11 Pro features a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED panel (2412 x 1080 pixels) that offers an immersive viewing experience with punchy colours and deep black levels.
The 120Hz of the display ensures silky smooth scrolling and animations, while the 360Hz for touch sampling means the screen is super responsive to your taps and swipes.
Panel’s maximum brightness of 950 nits provides for an excellent daylight legibility. The narrow bezels and a gentle curve give the device a sleek appearance that’s often reserved for pricier models.
Performance
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chip fabricated on the 6nm process and available in options of 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB, for daily tasks, the Realme 11 Pro processing workflow is seamless and doesn’t experience any significant hiccups for moderate gaming duties either.
Vivo UI based on Android 13 brings customization and features like RAM expansion technology, but you’ll also find pre-installed apps that you may not use.
Camera System
The dual-camera system is headlined by a flagship 100MP Pro Light camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), along with a 2MP macro lens.
The main camera does a great job of capturing detail in all sorts of lighting, helped along by pixel binning technology and solid image processing. There’s a 16MP selfie camera for detailed selfies that are perfect to share on social media.
Battery and Charging
The Realme 11 Pro is fueled by a 5000mAh battery and offers full-day battery life even under heavy usage.
One of it’s most impressive specs is the 67W SUPERVOOC charging, which allows the battery to go from 0% to 100% in about 45 minutes – a very useful feature if you’re always on the move.
Additional Features
It has an in-display fingerprint sensor for fast and secure biometric authentication. It provides 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC for contactless payments. And for those audio purists, the 3.5mm headphone jack is there for some (old-fashioned) hard line-in action.
