Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Camera and Sound Quality

Good images can be marred by bad camera quality, while good sound can be disrupted by bad speaker/sound quality, and as such, the camera and sound quality of a phone are necessary features to consider.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro offers quite a decent camera quality which gives a good number of details for still and motion pictures. For an artist or a video editor, the graphic quality sponsored by the (Graphics Processing Unit) GPU (ARM Mali-G57 MC2) and the MediaTek Helio G9, the graphic texture of the image can be clear enough to reproduce as art.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Camera quality offers a great visual experience, offering performance depth. Additionally, its double speaker system at the top and bottom of the frame provides an excellent sound system for music playback. This makes it an ideal mid-range phone choice for those who appreciate good audio and visuals.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Camera Quality

The final images produced by any camera say what level of quality it has, as no camera is independent of components. 

The camera setup for this smartphone is a typical mid-range four-camera setup at the back. There is a high-resolution 108 MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth camera, and in front lies a 16MP camera within the screen’s perforation. 

The main camera is the same across all three other smartphones in the series.

• It uses a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 1/1.52 sensor with 0.7 µm pixels and a 24 mm f/1.9 lens. It also has a 12MP output resolution alongside PDAF. At night, the night mode feature is enabled to enhance night photo quality.
• The ultrawide 8MP camera functions with a Sony IMX355 sensor behind a 16 mm f/2.2 lens, and the focus is always fixed at infinity. The sensor can sometimes be changed to an 8MP OmniVision sensor instead of the Sony IMX355 sensor. This ultrawide camera also uses the night mode feature to enhance night capturing.
• The first 2MP camera is a macro camera that functions with a GalaxyCore GC02M1 sensor behind an f/2.4 lens, with the focus fixed at about 4 cm away from the object being captured.
• The fourth camera is another 2MP camera with an OmniVision OV02B1 depth sensor.
• The selfie camera looks a bit enhanced and functions with a 16MP SK Hynix Hi-1634Q 1/3″ sensor with 1.0µm pixels and a Quad-Bayer filter. It comes with an f/2.4 lens and has a fixed focus.

The main camera comes with an LED flashlight, HDR, and panorama features. These qualities of the camera cannot be written off for a smartphone of this quality.

Front Camera

The selfie camera is quite impressive with the quality of images it produces, but not exactly as detailed as you may want it to be. It gives you accurate colours, low noise, and great contrast, and the subject image has a considerable amount of exposure. You may be a fan of HDR, but this is not a feature for the selfie camera, which leads to increased exposure. 

The HDR is a feature built to absorb the exposure and create a balance in light between the yet-to-be image and its environment. Or it enhances contrast. With the selfie camera in use, you may not get great details, but the image will not be a regular 4 MP image but a 16 MP image.

Rear Camera

The main camera in the rear is a 12MP camera. It produces low-light yet detailed images, which are good for reference purposes even though the absence of much light creates noise on the subject image. 

The camera quality reflects on the images produced as it gives off high contrast and good colour saturation, and the exposure level makes it look even closer to life than just an image. The HDR is a feature that works well with the rear camera, creating a light balance between the image and its environment and bringing out the texture of the image, which is not exactly flat. This is because HDR enhances details.

The Night mode feature works well with the ultrawide 8 MP cameras, making the night photos brighter and less noisy and adding details to the shadows. The rear camera offers a range of capture choices and features such as AI, which, though saturates colours evenly with the presence of much illumination, still removes the actual detail, thereby reducing the quality of the image. 

For on-the-go image and video capturing, you can trust the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro, as its image outputs are not exactly poor but require more light for sharper images.

How does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro camera compare to other smartphones?

One feature that is being steadily improved on in smartphones in today’s telecommunication market is the camera. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro does not exactly sit on top with its camera qualities but can compete with other brands and models within its range.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro is built with a quad camera set up on the rear: a 108MP camera (f/1.9), an ultrawide 8MP camera (f/2.2), a 2MP macro camera (f/2.4), and another 2MP depth lens camera. It also comes with a 16MP selfie camera (f/2.4) with fixed focus, giving it a slight edge over some smartphones within its range.

For video capturing, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro supports up to 1080p @ 30fps video capturing with its primary, ultrawide, and selfie cameras. The 2MP macro camera is restricted to 720p @ 30fps. The Helio G96 chipset does not support 4K capturing, unlike Redmi Note 10 Pro, which feels like a big letdown for the Redmi Note 11 Pro. Videos from the main camera are good, with a considerable amount of sharpness.

Smartphones like the Samsung A series and S series are miles ahead of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro with contrast to their image and video capturing features and qualities. But, the Redmi Note 11 Pro is not totally off balance with its camera qualities, as it offers pretty clear images.

The Sound quality of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 comes with a commendable sound quality, with its design having dual speakers with a stereo boost. These speakers are located at the top and bottom of the phone, respectively, with speaker grills indicating those spots. It also comes with a built-in speaker with a noise-cancellation function. 

Within its price range, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 has the best sound quality to offer, as the dual speakers sound pretty solid and alike. Both pairs produce a proper stereo effect. Also at the top of the phone is a thin line of sound outlets which can also be used for receiving calls. The speaker at the top doubles as an earpiece, which makes it slightly quieter than the speaker at the bottom.

It is safe to say the sound from these speakers is balanced and rich when listening to/watching music/videos.

Sound specs

The sound specifications for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro include:

• Hi-Res Audio Certification
• 3.5 mm headphone jack
• Dual speakers
• 24-bit/192kHz audio

How does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro’s Sound quality compare to other smartphones?

Having such stereo-inspired dual speakers, the sound quality of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro stands out, as it produces loud and clear sound. 

Other smartphones like Infinix Hot series and Tecno Spark series do not level up to the sound quality of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro, thanks to the balance in the sound it produces.

Its noise-cancelling built-in microphones and stereo-like speakers give it an edge over many other smartphones in its category.
