Besides decent performance, Redmi also equips the Note 11 with a 5,000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging, which provides a large capacity and can deliver long usage time. So, after 6 months, will the battery of Redmi Note 11 still provide impressive usage time like at launch? Let's move on to the next part to answer this question!

Redmi Note 11 features a 5,000 mAh battery for impressive usage time up to 11 hours

To answer the question above, I will conduct a battery test (based on the standard of Mytour) to check how long the 5,000 mAh battery of Redmi Note 11 can last after 6 months from the launch date, when used for various tasks. This test will be conducted under specific conditions as follows:

• Experience 4 rotating tasks: Playing Liên Quân (set up as shown below), watching YouTube, browsing Facebook, and using the browser (Chrome).
• Each task will run for 1 hour.

• Screen brightness 100%.
• Wired earphones plugged in with volume at 100%.
• Wi-Fi and social media notifications enabled.
• No battery saver mode, adaptive screen, GPS, and Bluetooth enabled.
• Drain from 100% to 0%.

Below are the results of the battery test conducted on Redmi Note 11:

After the test, it can be seen that the total usage time that Redmi Note 11 provides is truly impressive, reaching up to 11 hours when performing various tasks consecutively. This result compared to devices in the same segment is outstanding, with Redmi Note 11 only consuming 6 - 7% battery for browsing Facebook and slightly more, around 3 - 4%, for other tasks during one hour of usage. Redmi has done an excellent job optimizing the software through updates, and this is a definite plus point that Redmi Note 11 deserves!

Compared to the results achieved by Redmi Note 11 six months ago, we can clearly see the progress Xiaomi has continuously made through the latest updates to provide impressive usage time as above.

Not only does Redmi possess impressive usage time, but it also comes with fast charging at 33 W, helping you save charging time and provide a smoother user experience. This charging rate is commonly equipped for mid-range devices, and Xiaomi's charging technology has yielded quite good results. Check out the battery charging speed test that I conducted below to see the actual time Redmi Note 11 takes to fully charge!

We can see that Redmi Note 11 only takes 1 hour and 25 minutes to fully charge the 5,000 mAh battery. A relatively fast time compared to devices with a 5,000 mAh battery and equivalent fast charging, so with these features, the 33W fast charging will save you a lot of time. Moreover, if you're in a hurry, just 30 minutes of charging will give you 44% battery to perform basic tasks for an extended period!

Redmi Note 11's battery lasts for over 8 hours of PUBG Mobile gaming

So, with a large usage time battery like that, Redmi Note 11 can handle gaming tasks for how long? I believe this is also a question that many of you are interested in, so I will conduct a battery test of Redmi Note 11 with 4 popular games today: Arena of Valor, PUBG Mobile, Play Together, and League of Legends: Speed War so you can understand better!

Specific conditions for conducting the test are as follows:

• Play only one game until the device runs out of battery (from 100% to 0%).
• Screen brightness 100%.
• Plug in wired earphones with volume set to 100%.
• Enable Wi-Fi and receive notifications from social networks.
• Do not enable battery saver mode, adaptive screen, GPS, and Bluetooth.
• Enable gaming mode to optimize performance.

Below are the results obtained after conducting the test:

• Play Together: 5 hours 03 minutes.
• Arena of Valor: 5 hours 45 minutes.
• League of Legends: Speed War: 7 hours 12 minutes.
• PUBG Mobile: 8 hours 17 minutes.

Redmi Note 11 delivers quite well as all games can be played continuously for over 5 hours. Among them, PUBG Mobile stands out with 8 hours 17 minutes of continuous play, a surprising result for a device with a 5,000 mAh battery and used intensively for the past 6 months. Equally impressive is League of Legends: Speed War with the ability to run continuously for 7 hours 12 minutes, while the other two games are slightly less, but overall, Redmi Note 11 has been optimized very well to provide such impressive usage time, and I believe if not playing games continuously but only using basic tasks, the time will even increase!

Redmi Note 11's battery provides extremely impressive usage time for basic tasks

So how long can Redmi Note 11 last for normal tasks like using familiar apps such as TikTok, Facebook, Messenger,...? Without further delay, let's move on to the next test in the Redmi Note 11 battery review section to see how long the device can last when performing typical tasks!

In this test, I will use familiar apps like Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, Chrome, and YouTube under specific conditions as follows:

• Use only one app until the device runs out of battery (from 100% to 0%).
• Screen brightness 100%.
• Plug in wired earphones with volume set to 100%.
• Enable Wi-Fi and receive notifications from social networks.
• Do not enable battery saver mode, adaptive screen, GPS, and Bluetooth.

After conducting the test, here are the results I obtained:

• TikTok: 5 hours 29 minutes.
• Facebook: 6 hours 18 minutes.
• Youtube: 6 hours 4 minutes.
• Chrome: 7 hours 10 minutes.
• Messenger: 7 hours 11 minutes.

Compared to the results from 6 months ago, Redmi Note 11 seems slightly less impressive. However, to be fair, over the past 6 months, I have used the device quite intensively, so the battery of Redmi Note 11 has degraded slightly, resulting in reduced usage time. Therefore, although the results achieved by Redmi Note 11 may seem slightly lower, based on these results, Redmi Note 11 can still meet your basic usage needs quite well!

Therefore, I believe Redmi Note 11 will be a device that can accompany you in the long run, whether it's counted in months or up to a year, to serve your work, study, or entertainment needs through social networks and more!

How much is Redmi Note 11? Is it worth buying?

Although it was launched 6 months ago, what the 5,000mAh battery of Redmi Note 11 brings is truly impressive. So, if you're looking for an affordable phone that can still meet your usage, work, and long-term companion needs, Redmi Note 11 is a phone you should consider!
