Realme 11 Pro smartphone review – The designer phone with speedy storage ^↺

Name: Realme 11 Pro
Brand: Realme

Mid-range haute couture. realme has really given its all in the under 400 dollar price range by getting its 11 Pro styled by a designer. The result may be neat, but a phone has to impress on the inside too, after all. In this review, you can find out whether this was a success for the realme phone.

5G Android ARM Smartphone

realme is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer known in particular for its mid-range and top-of-the-range smartphones in collaboration with designers.

This means it is no wonder that the manufacturer has sought out an artist for the 11 Pro who used to work for the fashion label Gucci and has designed the smartphone to have an interesting look with the help of lots of faux leather.

The mid-range phone also impresses with its good storage and super-fast charging. So, let's take a closer look at whether the phone's insides can impress just as much as its looks can.

Case – By choice a real designer piece

The realme 11 Pro is available in three colors: Sunrise Beige in the previously mentioned faux-leather look which even features decorative stitching. Aside from this, there is also Oasis Green - also using vegan leather - and Astral Black, which looks a litte more sleek. This version of the phone features a shimmery matte plastic.

Depending on your choice, the realme phone can look classically sleek or like a real eye-catcher which will gain lots of people's attention.

In terms of stability, nothing negative can be said about the phone: The back and front doesn't budge when you press down on it and material transitions are very smooth. It has an acceptable weight of 191 grams considering its large display surface - the phone is even comparatively compact, featuring slim bezels around the display.

Unfortunately, the realme 11 Pro isn't IP-certified, meaning you need to be careful to protect it against dust and water.

Connectivity – Lots of storage available

The manufacturer offers this phone in different storage variants, with either 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage installed. Our review sample, for example, has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage and retails for about US$380.

There is no microSD reader, so the storage cannot be expanded. However, NFC is installed so that the 11 Pro can communicate with nearby devices and mobile payment services like Google Pay can be used.

Software – Updates up to Android 15

The installed operating system is called realmeUI 4 and is based on Android 13. If you've already had a device from Vivo, Oppo or a more current OnePlus phone, then you'll be familiar with this software. realmeUI changes the interface quite a lot compared to stock Android, but it also offers lots of options to customize operation to suit your individual needs.

The manufacturer has installed quite a few games and third-party apps, so you'll need to start by tidying up the phone if you don't want to use them.

At the time of testing, the latest safety patch was from July 2023, which is still relatively up-to-date. realme has promised two big Android updates, meaning up to Android 15, as well as three years of safety patches.

Communication and GNSS – speedy WLAN

The realme 11 Pro supports WiFi 6 as the fastest WLAN standard, meaning it is quite a bit faster than similarly priced smartphones when it comes to speed: In our test using the Asus ROG Rapture AXE11000 as a reference router, we measured speeds of 609 - 833 MBit/s - only the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G was able to remotely keep up.

In everyday use, this means fast transfers, however, a gigabit line is not fully utilized. If you have a slower internet connection, then you can be pretty certain that it will always have access to the maximum speed, as long as the conditions are suitable. Close to the router, websites are loaded quickly - with 3 walls in between and with a distance of 10 metres to the router, you only have access to 3/4 of the full signal and websites take a little longer to load completely.

The realme 11 Pro is a 5G phone and can connect to all the necessary frequencies to secure inland use. If you travel frequently and would like to make use of your phone on location, then you should research in advance whether this phone can connect in your place of destination. The realme 11 Pro is definitely not a global phone.

We measured the reception strength in random samples during our approximately two-week test period: The realme smartphone almost always provided a good cell phone signal in urban environments.

If you step outside with the phone, then you are quickly located with an accuracy of 5 metres, which is below average. The phone uses many satellites from various positioning systems to assure good accuracy - but not SBAS.

In our practical test which consisted of a bike trip, we also took our Garmin Venu 2 with us to provide a comparison. The realme 11 Pro was quite accurate all-in-all when it came to locating. It only sometimes chose the wrong street or showed us as riding through the corner of a house instead of on the road. If you need great accuracy, then this is the wrong phone for you. However, if you just need it to navigate every now and then, then it is precise enough.

Telephone features and call quality – Clear calling

The telephone app has been taken from standard Android, so it should feel familiar for a lot of users.

Call quality using the internal earphone is good and it can get loud enough, meaning you can phone someone even in noisier environments. Our voice was transmitted well and could be heard clearly by the person on the other end of the line.

The person you are calling can't be understood quite as clearly using speakerphone, and you also have to make sure to speak loudly enough - otherwise, the microphone struggles a bit to transmit your voice.

Cameras – The realme phone with a 100-MP camera

Picture taken using the front-facing camera

One of the realme 11 Pro's features which is the most advertized is its 100-megapixel main camera. Indeed, you can take photos with a resolution of 8,688 x 11,584 pixels using a special mode. Taking up 12 MB of storage, they also aren't total memory hogs.

Normally, the phone puts lots of pixels together to create 12-megapixel images which take up a lot less storage and in most cases, are totally sufficient and offer better light sensitivity. Its image sharpness and detail isn't quite on the same level as flagship smartphones, but in everyday use, you can definitely achieve decent photos.

In low-light conditions, you sadly quickly lose quite a lot of dynamic in darker areas but the images have a nice level of sharpness.

It's a shame that the realme 11 Pro only has one usable camera on the back - it doesn't feature a macro or wide-angle lens. Even if competitors' lenses tend to have a low resolution, the presence of these special lenses does give you quite a bit more flexibility. In turn, realme offers quite a few photography software modes including a street photography mode which simulates different focal lengths. It also offers a mode which depicts starry skies really well.

Videos can be recorded in a maximum of 4K and 30 fps, and 60 fps is also possible in 1080p.

The front-facing camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels and can shoot usable selfies in good light, but they are slightly blurry and lack dynamic range when zoomed in.

We also tested the main camera in our photo lab with fixed lighting scenarios. Here, it showed a good representation of our test chart. The sharpness hardly decreases even toward the edges of the image. The image is still somewhat recognizable at an illuminance of only 1 lux, but details are hardly visible.

Scope of delivery and warranty – Lots included

The realme 11 Pro comes with a 67-watt charger, a USB cable, a SIM tool and a transparent protective case for the smartphone. This means the device is well equipped for everyday use straight out of the box - it even comes with a display protector pre-installed.

Depending on the country in which you live and buy the phone, the manufacturer gives you a set warranty. This can be checked on their website.

Input devices & operation – A precise fingerprint scanner

The screen can display up to 120 images per second and this really has an effect on how the phone is operated, as inputs are visible much quicker. Furthermore, the touchscreen is precise and can be operated reliably - even towards the edges and corners.

A fingerprint scanner is situated behind the display, quite far down. This means it can also easily be reached if you have small hands, but you'll also have no issues if yours are on the bigger side. It unlocks the phone reliably and super quickly. You can also use your face to unlock the phone. This works reliably as well, however, it isn't quite as safe.

Display – Bright but with PWM

An OLED screen has since become the norm in this price range, and the realme 11 Pro does not disappoint with its corresponding 6.7-inch display with Full HD resolution and self-luminous diodes. As a result, no backlight is necessary and theoretically infinitely deep black can be displayed by turning off the diodes. This is good for the contrast and colors look really vivid on the screen.

Its maximum brightness of 764 cd/m² on average is on a decent level, but Samsung and Honor both show that more is possible. The screen is HDR-certified, but the contrasts are not quite as high as in other phones.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

577.4 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 577.4 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 577.4 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Measurement series with fixed zoom level and different brightness settings

We noted some PWM flickering at very low brightness levels. Normally, a function should be automatically enabled in this scenario which raises the PWM frequency to up to 2,160 Hz in order to lessen the effects. We measured about 600 Hz which is still quite a high value, so it should at least be a little easier on sensitive users. Even so, we would recommend that sensitive users try out the phone in store before committing to purchasing it.

In our measurements using the spectrophotometer and CalMAN software, we noted only slight deviations in the grayscale as well as in the colors.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
1.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.7 ms rise
1.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 3 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
1.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1 ms rise
1.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.9 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 5 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

The phone can also be used outdoors on brighter days since the screen offers very good contrasts and a high brightness.

From the sides, the image on the screen is very well visible from every angle.

Performance – Good mid-range power

The realme 11 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 as an SoC which is quite similar to the Dimensity 1080. The latter can be found in the Samsung Galaxy A34, for example, but the realme phone seems to be a litte quicker as a system. Even compared to similarly priced smartphones, the realme 11 Pro offers really great performance.

In everyday use, this means you can also use more demanding apps and programs running in the background won't slow down the system all too much.

The realme 11 Pro showed a mixed picture in the browser benchmarks: It was quite ahead in some, while it only achieved low scores in the WebXPRTs.

In practice, we also noticed that very complex websites were loaded comparatively slowly, and we also had to wait for images when scrolling from time to time.

You can generally reach 60 fps while gaming, for example when running PUBG Mobile using very low settings. The screen's 120-Hz refresh rate wasn't taken advantage of by any of the games we tested.

Not all maximum settings could be selected in Diablo: Immortal or PUBG, for example there was no 4K resolution option. However, a fairly stable 30 fps was possible in the maximum settings that we use for our measurements. We measured the fps using the GameBench software.

Controlling via the touchscreen and, if necessary, the position sensor works smoothly.

Emissions – The realme 11 Pro gets quite warm

Temperature

The case heated up to 48.3 °C after a longer time during our stress test. This temperature becomes clearly noticeable and can also be unpleasant - especially since we measured this at room temperature and not on a hot day outdoors, where the temperatures could rise even more.

You will rarely feel such high temperatures in everyday use, but you probably will still notice the waste heat on the case during longer gaming sessions. However, the SoC seemed unaffected and was not throttled during the 3DMark stress tests.

Speakers

The realme 11 Pro features stereo speakers, whereby the earphone is used as a second speaker and can't quite get as loud as the one on the bottom. Even so, you can still make out the stereo effect. Generally, music is played back quite clearly - the sound is treble-heavy but not overdriven.

If you want to identify individual instruments and generally want more sound dynamics, you should probably just connect speakers or headphones via Bluetooth or the USB-C port. Both work without any problems and you get a clean signal from the phone.

SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, LHDC, aptX Adaptive and aptX TWS+ are available as wireless audio codecs.

Battery life – Average runtimes and fast charging

Power consumption

Our test sample's power consumption is about on par with the competition. It was neither the most frugal of the comparison devices, nor did it consume a lot of energy in any of the categories of our tests.

Once the 5,000 mAh battery is empty, it can be recharged at up to 67 watts. It should be possible to charge the phone by 50 % in just under 18 minutes. This works as long as the phone is completely empty at the beginning of the charging process. It takes just over an hour to charge the battery from 0 % to 100 % capacity.

Runtimes

The realme 11 Pro also runs for a long time with a full battery, but it cannot quite compete with the best of the comparison devices: In our WLAN test, which corresponds to light use without a break, we got 13:19 hours of runtime, which should easily get you through a work or school day.

If you like gaming, you can do so for up to 6 hours before the phone has to be plugged in again.

Pros

+ good performance values

+ very fast memory

+ high WLAN data rates

+ high-quality designer case

+ very fast loading times

+ no SoC throttling

Cons

- PWM flickering

- only a single camera on the back

- at times high temperatures

- Browser loading times can vary

Verdict – Not just visually impressive

The realme 11 Pro can be had in black or as quite a spectacular designer piece with decorative stitching and faux leather on the back. The phone is also a success in terms of its features: Its fast processor, quick memory and speedy WLAN are all impressive.

In addition to this, decent everyday runtimes, fast charging, lots of included accessories and a relatively bright OLED screen add to the phone.

If you like to use your phone for a long time, then you will have to make do with comparatively short software support - Samsung, for example, offers a lot more in this aspect. The screen's PWM flickering is also visible using an oscilloscope, meaning sensitive users should try out the screen before committing to purchasing the device.

The camera takes decent photos but due to there only being one usable lens, it remains a little inflexible when it comes to photography. realme has tried to mitigate this by including some interesting software modes.

The realme 11 Pro is a very attractive looking mid-range phone which benefits thanks to fast memory, good charging technology and a nice range of features.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G offers an even brighter screen and longer updates. If you would like to play it extra safe when it comes to the display, then you should take a look at the Motorola Moto G73 5G which comes with a screen without any PWM flickering.

Price and availability

The realme 11 Pro can currently be found on Amazon for around US$370.
