Comparing Redmi Note 11S and Redmi Note 10S: Which one is the best choice for MiFans?Xiaomi unleashed its latest sensation, the Redmi Note 11S, causing a frenzy among the MiFan community in the early months of the year. However, the allure of the Redmi Note 10S remains undiminished as it continues to stand as an exceptional phone. So, should users opt for the Redmi Note 10S or the Redmi Note 11S? Let's compare them to find the answer.
1. Comparing the Designs of Redmi Note 11S and Redmi Note 10S: A Slight Variation
Overall, the front view of the Redmi Note 11S this year maintains the 'dot' design, similar to that of the Redmi Note 10S. Both are crafted with a plastic back featuring the familiar Redmi logo in the left corner. They share almost identical weight and thickness.
Redmi Note 11S boasts a square, rugged frame.However, on this year's Redmi Note 11S, the rounded glossy back is replaced with a more robust design, featuring a sturdy frame with flat beveled edges. The back panel is made of textured plastic to resist sweat and fingerprints better than before.
Redmi Note 10S features rounded edges, exuding a softer touch.The Redmi Note 10S adopts the familiar design language we often encounter in Xiaomi's recent phones.
However, up to this point, for me, this is still a phone with a beautiful appearance, featuring a glossy back and high craftsmanship. I firmly believe that, even 1 or 2 years from now, the Redmi Note 10S will not become outdated.
The camera arrangement on the Redmi Note 11S is similar to that on the Redmi Note 10S.The rear camera cluster also sees improvements, inheriting from its predecessor. Xiaomi continues to arrange the cameras vertically on the Redmi Note 11S, with the largest main camera followed by 3 secondary cameras and a flash. This camera cluster protrudes slightly and is black, adding a touch of mystery and personality to the Redmi Note 11S.
2. Comparing the Specifications of Redmi Note 11S and Redmi Note 10S: Comparable Power
Performance is the most concerning aspect when it comes to Xiaomi phones. So, what are the differences in performance between the Redmi Note 10S and Redmi Note 11S?
With the Redmi Note 11S, Xiaomi hasn't disappointed. Although the Redmi Note 10S performed admirably with the Helio G95 chip, the Redmi Note 11S, equipped with the Helio G96, has further improved upon the shortcomings of its predecessor.
Xiaomi always delivers products with excellent performance.Both devices come with various configurations, but perhaps the most popular is the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM version. This capacity allows you to smoothly tackle popular games like Arena of Valor, PUBG, Call Of Duty, and more.
Specifically, in the game Arena of Valor, with the highest settings, the lagging issue during intense combat on the Redmi Note 11S has been significantly improved compared to the Redmi Note 10S.
In PUBG Mobile, if the settings of both devices are adjusted similarly, the gaming experience is almost equivalent. However, personally, I prefer gaming on the Redmi Note 11S because I tend to sweat a lot. With its textured plastic back, I feel very comfortable taking down enemies.
Next up is the first-person shooter gaming experience with Call Of Duty Mobile. When both devices are set with the same configuration, my gaming experience is very satisfying. Lagging is minimal on both devices. However, you might be surprised by the smoothness of the Redmi Note 11S. Why? Let's find out.

3. Comparing the Displays of Redmi Note 11S and Redmi Note 10S: Slight Upgrade
Answering the question above, the screen is the reason why I say the Redmi Note 11S is smoother than the Redmi Note 10S. Equipped with a 90 Hz refresh rate screen, the Redmi Note 11S offers significantly smoother gaming experiences and optimized touch gestures.
Redmi Note 11S features a 90 Hz display, higher than the 60 Hz of the Redmi Note 10S.Both devices sport a 'dot' notch 6.43-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and AMOLED panel, delivering vibrant, vivid colors.
The front design of the Redmi Note 10S remains unchanged.The difference may lie in the bottom bezel of the two devices.

Though still thick, upon experiencing it, you'll find it not uncomfortable at all.

Although the camera of the Redmi Note 10S was already excellent...If the Redmi Note 10S stirred up the segment last year with its 64 MP main camera, this year, Xiaomi once again proves its prowess by equipping the Redmi Note 11S with a whopping 108 MP main camera.

...But the camera of the Redmi Note 11S is even more impressive.With a 108 MP main camera, the Redmi Note 11S will capture true-to-life and sharp photos in well-lit conditions - something that the Redmi Note 10S already excelled at.
The triple rear camera setup remains intact with a complete set of lenses to meet all user needs. Both devices support 4K video recording, delivering the most authentic footage.
Combined with Xiaomi's algorithm, selfies taken on both devices are very pleasing to the eye.Regarding the front camera, the Redmi Note 11S also sees an upgrade with a 16 MP camera, higher resolution than the 13 MP of the Redmi Note 10S. This upgrade is not significant, but this front camera still holds promise, ensuring it will capture satisfying selfies for you.
