The resolution of the display is FullHD+, you will like the level of brightness and contrast. For durability and protection against accidental breakage, it's protected by Gorilla Glass 5.

Performance

Technically speaking, the Redmi Note 11 Pro has everything it takes to be competitive in the market. Underneath its hull lies a Mediatek Dimensity 920 processor, which comprises 8 cores - two of them are Cortex-A78 clocked at 2.5 GHz and the remaining 6 are Cortex-A55 clocked at 2.0 GHz. The processor is complemented by a Mali-G68 MC4 graphics core and 6 or 8 GB of RAM depending on the modification. The amount of internal storage can be 128 or 256 GB.

While the main camera doesn't have optical stabilization, you can create quality photos. The night ones, on the other hand, will surprise you with a good level of detail.

As for the selfie camera, it is a single camera. It is represented by a 16-megapixel module that is wide-angle.
