Just a month ago, I wrote about my impressions of using the new Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+. Decent smartphones with modern hardware and good cameras cost adequate money and were offered with mega-fast charging functions, thanks to the included power supply of 67 and 100 Watts.
And now on my desk lies the last representative of this level, Realme 11. I wonder what can surprise a smartphone without the “pro” prefix? Here’s what:
● 108 MP camera with 3x intra-sensor zoom
● Fast charging 67 W SUPERVOOC.
● Super AMOLED screen with a frequency of 90 Hz.
Realme 11 is the most balanced smartphone in the mid-price segment and is perfect for both students who have high demands on performance and design, as well as simply lovers of mobile games, streaming and other entertainment who pay attention to charging, memory capacity and the screen.
Realme 11 with 8/128 GB memory went on sale at a price of 22,999 rubles, and the version of the device with 8/256 GB memory costs from 25,999 rubles. So this smartphone can rightfully be considered the best offer in the “price-quality” rating in the price category up to 30 thousand rubles.
Why? But let’s look at it from all sides:
Design
The smartphone is made in a plastic case, with side frames and plastic. The device is quite light and feels good in the hand.
The “back” has a texture that shimmers in the light: depending on the lighting, the color changes from bright yellow to sky blue, the look is spectacular.
On the edges you can find a backlight rocker and a power button on the right, a slot for 2 Nano SIM and micro SD, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a USB-C charging port and a standard-sized speaker grille.
The 6.4-inch FHD+ screen is made using AMOLED technology and has a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. Image refresh rate is 90 Hz, touch measurement accuracy is 180 Hz. The frames are not noticeable and are quite thin; the display occupies 90.8% of the area of the front panel of the smartphone.
A contrast ratio of 4,000,000:1 produces colorful images with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. Allows you to easily read information even under bright sunlight.
The front camera is located in the upper left corner and has a resolution of 16 megapixels. This is more than enough for video calls, portrait photos and filming videos of yourself.
The screen is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5, so the smartphone can withstand drops from a height of up to 1.2 meters. Additionally, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is twice as scratch-resistant as others. aluminosilicate glass
The Realme 11 comes with a transparent silicone case and a 67-watt charger with support for SUPERVOOC technology. If you use the charger together with the included cable, the smartphone charges up to 100% in 30-40 minutes.
The tactile and visual impressions are pleasant. Realme 11 cools like something sufficient expensive and doesn’t look like a 22 thousand ruble gadget. In fact, the Realme One brand is from the future, your smartphones really make a good impression regardless of the price.
Performance and tests
Inside, the Realme 11 is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor manufactured using the 6nm process. which allows you to increase the productivity and autonomy of the device.
Compared to the Snapdragon 680, the Helio G99 is 20% more power efficient in gaming, more than 20% more energy efficient when using social media, and more than 10% more efficient in overall system performance.
8 GB of RAM can be increased by another 8 GB using the built-in storage. This is more than enough for both a demanding “genshin” and for opening several ten tabs in the browser while simultaneously watching a video without a single pause.
Standard operating system for Realme latest models: Android 13 is equipped with the proprietary Realme UI 4.0 shell, convenient and complete settings and tweaks.
Everything works quickly, applications open without delay, and 8 GB of memory is basically enough for standard smartphone use settings.
We move to the main room.
The camera shoots at 108 megapixels.
Realme 11 is currently a lightweight smartphone in its price range with a permanent camera module. In addition to the 108 megapixel resolution, the structure implements three technologies:
1. 9-in-1 image fusion technology significantly improves light sensitivity in low-light conditions and allows you to control photo noise, so night shots come out great.
2. In-sensor zoom technology allows you to take photos as good as using 3x optical zoom.
3. Special algorithms make it possible to crop a photo for the perfect composition, while maintaining clear details in the photo.
Examples of daytime photos:
Examples of night photos:
My verdict: in daylight and just bright light, the photos turn out excellent for a smartphone costing 22 thousand. At night, the quality of the device still does not reach the flagships, but nevertheless, their quality is much better than that of other devices in this price category.
In addition, the Camera app has built-in different filters and scenes, and go to manual control for smart white balance and shoot at all 108 megapixels. True, this is best done in a brightly lit story.
I also listen to music on the new Realme Buds Air 5
Together with the Realme 11 brand, Buds Air 5 wireless headphones “for every day” went on sale. For a reasonable price tag, these headphones have a lot of interesting things, in particular:
● large titanium driver 12.4 mm
● Ultra-low latency 45ms
● 6 microphones
● active noise reduction up to 50 dB
In addition, the noise canceler has three levels and switches between them itself, depending on the sound of the sound around you. The metro, the center of Moscow, a noisy bar – in all locations, Realme Buds Air 5 perfectly accommodated all external noise, leaving me alone with the music.
The sound in the headphones is my mail. The 12.4mm titanium driver has an 89% larger vibration area, delivering a wider sound field with decent bass. And this is not a marketing ploy, but pure physics. If you have the opportunity, listen and see for yourself.
The stated battery life is 38 hours. From my personal experience, this is quite plausible, because in a week I charged the case only once, then constantly used the headphones on the way to work and home.
Yes, the Buds Air 5 does not have the LDAC and HiRes support code, like their more advanced Pro version, but the Buds Air 5 are great as headphones for every day for listening to music from streaming services. The main thing is that you don’t wince from bad sound; during a conversation, the interlocutor will speak to you loudly and clearly, and the noise reduction from what is happening at all costs cuts out unnecessary sounds. The price of Realme Buds Air 5 is 7,499 rubles.
Yes, along with the dead headphones, Realme released another model called Buds T300. They also have 12.4mm drivers and battery life goes up to 40 hours. The active noise cancellation in these headphones works up to 30 dB, and not up to 50 like the Buds Air 5.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to test them, so just know that such headphones also exist. They cost 4499 rubles.
Conclusion
Realme 11 occupies a worthy place in the line of new products of the brand and will definitely appeal to everyone who is not chasing flagship models and prefers to use a reliable, moderately productive smartphone for the right price.
The appearance, build quality and filling do not cause any complaints and I did not find any shortcomings in the operation of this device.
Would I take Realme 11 as a second smartphone for everyday use? Definitely yes. I liked the mega-fast charging, decent (with daytime use) camera, and the absence of overheating and dependencies even during gaming sessions.
Let me remind you that Realme 11 costs from 22,990 rubles for the 8/128 GB version and from 25,999 rubles for the model with 8/256 GB of memory. Paired with the new Realme Buds Air 5 headphones for 7,499 rubles, you still have a full-fledged setup for pleasant use, spending a little more than 30,000 rubles.
It is very important that the quality and technical characteristics are decent.
