After launching the Realme 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ earlier this year, the Realme 11 series has added two new smartphones to its portfolio. Known as the Realme 11 and 11x, these newly launched devices are quite different from their Pro counterparts.
They are also very competitively priced under Rs 20,000. The Realme 11X is even more attractive as its price starts at just Rs 14,999.
It's also worth noting that the specifications of the Realme 11 and 11x, including the new MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC, are slightly downgraded compared to their Realme 11 Pro counterparts.
To summarize, we can say that Realme 11 and 11x basically have a lot in common. Essentially, these are the same device. However, two areas where they differ are cameras and battery charging. For this reason, we evaluated both devices together.
Realme 11 and 11x review. project
The Realme 11 is the best-looking one we've had, especially in the Honor Gold variant. But if gold isn't your thing, you can also get it in a gorgeous black color. As for the 11x, you have Purple Dawn and Midnight Black color options. For my review I had to try out the Purple Dawn color and I have to say that the back panel really caught my attention. It has a great glossy finish which really adds to its appeal.
One thing that's hard to miss on both smartphones is the larger camera module. While it's not always a good thing, it's this slightly off-center round design that really catches the eye. This form may seem unnecessary to some.
And if you look closely at the horizontal camera sensors inside, you will be reminded of someone's curiosity. On the other hand, this form has a practical purpose. makes typing on your phone easier.
Apart from the camera module, these devices have smooth edges and well-rounded corners, making them comfortable and ergonomic. Thanks to its light weight and slim design, long-term storage will not cause discomfort. What's even more impressive is that despite packing a 5,000mAh battery, the Realme 11 and 11x manage to keep their weight at just 190 grams.
In terms of connectivity, both devices feature a USB Type-C port at the bottom with a speaker grille and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The fingerprint scanner is cleverly integrated into the power button on the right side and does a great job of quickly unlocking the device with the desired fingerprint.
Realme 11 and 11x review. Screen
Both the Realme 11 and 11x feature 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS LCD displays that offer surprisingly good image quality despite being an LCD panel. Images are clear and realistic, with good viewing angles. However, it lacks dynamic range. The panel supports an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz. This not only improves your gaming and reading experience, but sometimes makes the content you watch more enjoyable.
Note that there are very noticeable bezels on all sides, especially on the chin, but this is forgivable given the budget price of these phones.
Both devices have a maximum brightness of up to 550 nits, which works well indoors but can look a little dim outdoors in direct sunlight.
You can customize the color profile of these phones to suit your preferences through the settings menu. They are also Widevine L1 certified, which allows you to stream FHD content from platforms like Netflix.
The visual impression is decent, but the sound quality is a little tiring. Both the Realme 11 and 11x have a mono speaker, which in 2023 may not seem like an ideal choice for saving money.
Realme 11 and 11x review: camera
In terms of photography, the Realme 11 and Realme 11x have dual rear cameras with some differences in the primary sensors. Realme 11x has a 64MP main camera, while Realme 11 has a 108MP primary camera. Both phones feature a 2-megapixel depth sensor for capturing artistic photos. For selfies and video calls, the regular Realme 11 has a more useful 16MP front camera, while the 11x has an 8MP camera.
When it comes to camera performance, it's safe to say that both phones deliver comparable results. Both have fast focusing and shutter speeds in good lighting conditions. The images they create are usually pleasing to the eye, although the colors may seem a little exaggerated. However, these sensors do a commendable job of maintaining exposure and highlights in most situations.
However, the Realme 11's larger sensor gives it a slight edge over its counterpart in terms of detail. This is noticeable in both daylight and low-light conditions, with the difference being especially noticeable in low-light conditions. Images taken with the Realme 11x look grainy in low-light conditions even after using Night mode. In the same context, Realme 11 images show less noise, resulting in excellent detail.
On the other hand, Portrait mode on both the Realme 11 and Realme 11x could be improved when it comes to edge detection. Both the front and rear cameras distort the subject at the edges. As for the selfie camera, these devices do a good job of capturing skin tones and facial details in well-lit conditions. Thanks to the larger sensor size, you will once again notice that the level of detail in selfies is higher than that of the Realme 11.

Powering the Realme 11 and Realme 11x is the new MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC. This chipset has two powerful performance cores, six performance cores, and an ARM G57 MC2 GPU.

Realme 11x is available in two configurations: 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage or 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

In everyday use, these devices easily handle routine tasks without the slightest sign of hesitation. They're also quite capable of multitasking, but having so many apps open can lead to occasional lags, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on background apps. When it comes to gaming, the phones can run graphics-intensive games like BGMI and COD for a short time. Mobile with medium graphics settings. I was able to play BGMI for half an hour without stuttering or slowdown, although I did notice that the device did get a little warm after a gaming session.
Both Realme 11 and 11x run Realme UI 4 based on Android 13. This software is loaded with features and comes with various pre-installed apps. However, it is important to note that there are some third-party apps installed on your devices that you can uninstall manually after the initial setup. On the downside, phones have a lot of ads and push notifications are a bit annoying.
On the other hand, you have plenty of customization options to change the user interface, app icons, and more to your liking. These tools offer various useful features such as call recording and screen recording.
Realme 11 and 11x review. battery and charging
The Realme 11 packs a 5,000mAh battery and while it's not the best in terms of battery life, it does the job satisfactorily. If you don't use heavy content or games for long periods of time during the day, this battery will easily last the entire day. Moderate users don't necessarily need to keep the charger plugged in all day. However, if you are a regular user, you may need to charge the battery overnight.
Realme has generously included a 67W charger with a USB Type-C cable in the box. This charger is fast and takes only about 50 minutes to fully charge the battery, which is quite impressive.
As for the Realme 11x, it also comes with a 5,000mAh battery. During usage, which included calls, browsing social media, reading articles, watching video calls, listening to music, light gaming and light editing, the battery lasted the entire day. I usually turn it on at night to charge it.
Inside the box, you get a 33W SuperVOOC adapter that may not be the fastest on the market, but it gets the job done. Charging the battery from 0 to 100% takes about 75 minutes, and halfway takes about 35 minutes. While it's not the fastest charger, it's still a pretty decent charger, especially considering the price.
