As a tech journalist, I test out a fairly high number of devices every year, mostly smartphones. And if there’s one change I have noticed in the past few years is that I have been struggling to recommend a device in the under Rs 15,000 category. Notable series like Redmi Note, which earlier started at under Rs 15,000, have crossed this price point. For a user who wants a future-proof budget device in the price segment of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000, the choices might not seem very appetising these days.

And this is what Redmi’s latest, Redmi 11 Prime 5G, is hoping to correct to some extent. This is a 5G-ready device aimed at someone looking for a phone under Rs 15,000 which will be future-proof as well. So far, Redmi has just one other 5G portfolio in the under Rs 20,000 segment—the Redmi Note 11T 5G.

The Redmi 11 Prime 5G appears to be an attempt to correct this gap. But does it achieve this purpose? Here’s my review.

Redmi 11 Prime 5G review: What’s good?
The Redmi 11 Prime 5G continues with a similar design pattern as other devices from the brand—though admittedly this is less premium compared to say the Redmi Note 11 Pro series. The polycarbonate back has a textured finish, which makes for a different touch and feels. The silver colour option that Redmi sent for review also stands apart and looks stylish and elegant. The camera module at the back is rather prominent and includes two cameras, a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth camera. The phone continues with a headphone jack and has a fingerprint scanner as part of the power button.

The Redmi 11 Prime 5G gets a 6.58-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. You can switch between 60 Hz or 90Hz from the settings, though by default it is set to 60 Hz, which is better for battery consumption. The Redmi 11 Prime’s display is a capable one and remains legible in bright sunlight as well. The big screen should keep most users happy and the full HD+ display works well for consuming content be it just scrolling on Facebook or watching videos on YouTube or Netflix.
