introduction
We’re back with another Realme review – this time it’s Realme 11 Pro! The Realme Number series has been a popular choice for users looking for a decent mid-ranger, but this year Realme has really upped its game by inviting a famous ex-Gucci designer Matteo Menotto to join the brand in creating these stunning designs for the phone go back.
The Realme 11 range is expected to arrive in many international markets, unlike the limited series Realme 10. Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+ (already reviewed) are already available in India and China.
The Realme 11 Pro, just like the Pro+ model, features a unique looking design with a Lychee Grain Leather-like faux leather complete with 3D faux stitching and a catwalk-like split in the middle.
The premium aspect has allowed the Realme 11 Pro, which is essentially a mid-range device, to surpass its class.
On the front of the phone is a 6.7-inch AMOLED with 10-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. This is an upgrade over the LCD panels found on the Realme 10 Pro and 9 Pro.
The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset is a repackaged Dimensity 1080 and is a capable platform for this mid-range segment, which is expected to offer approximately 15%-20% CPU and GPU performance increase of the Snapdragon 695 5G chip that powers the previous Realme 10 Pro and 9 Pro.
The rear camera is quite interesting: it uses a new 100 MP OmniVision sensor and, in addition to the promises for excellent photo and video quality, Realme also promotes it for its 2x lossless zoom. The selfie shooter has a 16MP sensor, but we’ve yet to see if that’s Quad-Bayer as well or not.
Other interesting aspects of the Realme 11 Pro include stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos support, a 5,000mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC fast charging, and the latest Realme 4.0 UI and Android 13 combination.

The Realme 11 Pro has five main differences from the Realme 11 Pro+: its main camera uses a 100MP sensor instead of a 200MP one, there are no ultrawide and macro cameras, charging is slower at 67W, selfie resolution it’s been halved and so is the base model’s storage (128GB instead of 256GB).
But even outside of the Realme 11 Pro+ comparison, the 11 Pro has a couple of notable omissions. The first is the lack of any kind of ingress protection, even the most basic. And the other is the microSD slot – it’s been retired in this generation.
Realme 11 Pro unboxing
The Realme 11 Pro is shipped packed in one of those typical yellow boxes. Inside you will find the smartphone, the 67W SuperVOOC charger, and a transparent silicone case.
The Realme 11 Pro also comes with a thin protective film already applied to the glass of the curved display. Unfortunately, it’s a huge smudge magnet and we peeled it off.
