With the continuous growth of the Note series user group and the increasingly diversified user needs, Redmi has re-planned the Note series products. On the basis of the existing basic models and Pro versions, Redmi has introduced the “frontier technology early adopters”. The “model” Pro+ model further accelerated the popularization of new technologies in the mid-end consumer market.
After the re-planning, the Note series mainly focused on performance upgrades in the first half of the year, named with the suffix T (Turbo); in the second half of the year, it focused on experience upgrades, which were regular digital iterations.
This time, we also got the newly released Redmi Note 11T Pro+. How will it perform under the blessing of the Dimensity 8100 and the top 144Hz LCD screen? The following is a detailed evaluation of this product.
The trendy small standing edge texture is greatly upgraded
Due to the constraints of cost and many other factors, products with a price of 1,000 yuan generally put a lot of effort into cost control, and the design does not exist in this price range.
In the face of these problems, the Redmi Note 11 series has made changes in design. It adopts a trendy small vertical edge design with straight up and down lines. It seems that the overall outline of the fuselage is very clear and has some tough sharpness.
The Note11T Pro+ released this time also continues this classic design. The vertical edge + four-sided curved fuselage back design creates a very delicate and capable fuselage line, and also takes into account a certain grip.
The back of the fuselage adopts a 2.5D surface style, and there is a transition between it and the tough middle frame. The texture of the frosted spray on the back is similar to that of AG glass, and it is not easy to be stained with fingerprints.
Although the plastic material is used, the overall processing and spraying have improved the texture of the whole machine. This time blue color matching in our hand can reflect different gradient effects under the illumination of different light angles. In addition to this color scheme, Redmi also offers Midnight Black (matte texture) and Atomic Silver (flash sand texture).
Note11T Pro+ has also been greatly improved in terms of body refinement. The camera Deco on the back adopts a metal integrated process, which has higher structural strength and more exquisiteness. The glossy camera protection ring and Deco’s frosted surface bring a texture hedge, further strengthening the visual layering.
In terms of design details, in order to allow users to obtain a better grip, the ratio of the Note 11T Pro+ has been changed to a slightly slender 20.5:9. Under the condition of ensuring the screen area, compared with the previous body width Directly narrowed by 19mm.
It is also the first time in recent generations of Xiaogang that the body width is less than 75mm. This body width is even at the same level as the recently released flagship curved screen flagship. This size modification has also greatly improved the overall mobile phone. Grip feel.
This time, Redmi also created the Astro Boy Limited Edition, the Note 11T trend limited edition. Astro Boy is known as the son of technology. When technology is humanized by Du Yu, what it expresses is technology for good.
In terms of design, this limited edition selects the classic translucent image of Astro Boy and has done a metallic artistic treatment. A variety of microstructures are surprisingly restored, carefully crafted through the platinum embossing process, and 100% of the semi-perspective mechanical structure of Astro Boy is re-engraved to the fuselage to achieve a naked-eye 3D-like three-dimensional effect, which is very layered.
In addition to the high-precision restoration of the Astro Boy semi-perspective mechanical structure in the appearance design, this Note 11T trend limited edition also has sincere customization of the box, manual, theme, boot animation, and wallpaper from the inside out.
God of the Year U Dimensity 8100
The Redmi Note 11T Pro series is positioned as a small King Kong, which has been greatly improved based on the performance of last year’s Note 10 Pro. The whole system is equipped with the Dimensity 8100 flagship processor, which not only has this good performance, but also has the best performance in terms of energy consumption ratio.
The Dimensity 8100 adopts the advanced TSMC 5nm process. Different from the traditional 1+3+4 architecture, the Dimensity 8100 cancels the design of the super-large core, and the CPU is composed of four 2.85GHz Cortex A78 large cores and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 small cores.
The GPU is the latest generation Mali-G610 six-core graphics processor, which is exactly the same architecture as MediaTek’s flagship platform Dimensity 9000, but with a slight reduction in the number of cores.
In terms of running scores, the AnTuTu score of Note 11T Pro+ exceeds 800,000, and its performance surpasses that of Snapdragon 870 products, which is comparable to last year’s Qualcomm flagship Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. It can be seen that its overall performance is still outstanding.

The performance configuration is fully in line with the flagship. In order to meet users’ more active demand for capacity, the Note 11T Pro+ also provides a 512GB storage version configuration.
In terms of heat dissipation, a three-dimensional heat dissipation system composed of VC liquid cooling + 7 layers of graphite is adopted, of which the area of VC reaches 2268mm2, which increases the heat dissipation area by 32% compared with the previous generation of King Kong, providing lasting and stable heat dissipation performance for the whole machine.
From the data and configuration point of view, the CPU, GPU, memory, and memory scores of this Note 11T Pro+ are very good. Next, let’s take a look at the specific performance of this product through the actual game experience.
In the “Honor of Kings” test, as long as the current flagship processing platform is optimized in place, stable operation is not a problem.
Although the 120-frame mode has not yet been turned on, the game is started at 90fps under ultra-high resolution and extreme picture conditions. During the half-hour test, the Note 11T Pro+ basically stabilized the frame rate at 85-90 frames throughout. between.
During the entire game, both character movement and skill release were very smooth. It is believed that according to the performance of the Dimensity 8100, even if the highest frame rate mode of 120Hz is turned on, this product can still provide nearly excellent and smooth running performance.
From the actual test point of view, although the Dimensity 8100 is a mid-range platform, its performance has indeed exceeded many people’s expectations. The overall gaming experience is basically the same as the previously tested Snapdragon 888 flagship mobile phone. Coupled with the good energy consumption performance, the whole machine is also more stable in terms of heat control.
The ultimate LCD screen experience
In order to meet the needs of many users, the Note 11T Pro+ is equipped with a top-level LCD screen. This screen provides a 7-speed adjustable refresh rate, which can perfectly match the display frame rate according to the display frame rate of the content.
For example, the frame rate of 24 frames of movies matches the playback of 48 Hz, the frame rate of TV dramas of 25 frames matches the playback of 50 Hz, and the majority of web dramas and variety shows are played at 30 frames, which directly correspond to the refresh rate of 30 Hz for matching playback.
For games with a high-fluency experience, 60/90/120/144 matching can be performed, and news and some waterfall information are swiped and refreshed at 90Hz.
In daily use, the display refresh rate and the frame rate of the content in various scenes have been adapted accordingly, providing the smoothest display refresh for all application scenarios of the user, achieving a truly global smooth experience, thoroughly Say goodbye to the tearing feeling of content display caused by high brush mismatching content.
OLED screen and LCD are two completely different products. Because of the principle of self-illumination, OLED can achieve darker dark parts and achieve higher realistic contrast. Moreover, the whole screen of OLED is thin and light, and has become the screen used by most mobile phone products. material.
Although OLED has many advantages, the advantages of LCD can achieve full DC dimming and RGB pixel arrangement are also incomparable to OLED, and this is the reason why some users are still obsessed with LCD screens.
Because the pixels of OLED screens are self-illuminating, it is difficult to ensure that the color of each pixel is consistent under all brightness through DC dimming. Especially when the brightness is lower, the color accuracy drops significantly.
Therefore, the PWM dimming method will be used at low brightness, and the low-frequency PWM dimming method will produce obvious screen flicker, which is easy to be perceived by the human eye, and will cause visual fatigue after watching for a long time.
The LCD screen of the Note 11T Pro+ adopts full DC dimming, which can prevent stroboscopic flicker even in low-brightness display, which is more eye-friendly.
The red, green and blue sub-pixels of the OLED screen have different life attenuations and need to be matched with different pixel sizes, while the LCD uses a standard RGB arrangement. Under the same PPI, the display effect of the LCD screen will be more delicate and clear.
In addition to solving the problem of screen flicker without hurting the eyes, Note 11T Pro+ has also been upgraded for the problem of blue light on the screen. The harmful blue light wavelength is between 415-455nm, and the central wavelength of light emitted by the LED in the conventional LCD backlight panel is 450nm, that is, there are many harmful blue light wavelengths.
Note 11T Pro+ has deeply customized the LCD backlight in order to avoid harmful blue light damage to human eyes.
By changing the proportion of materials used in the LED lamp beads, the central wavelength of the emitted light is controlled at 460nm, which can effectively reduce harmful blue light compared to conventional LCD screens. And through the hardware-level low blue light, the yellowish display problem of ordinary software anti-blue light is effectively improved.
In addition to eye protection and no screen flicker, this LCD screen provides a 10-bit color depth specification, providing users with a richer color display. This screen of Note 11T Pro+ also supports primary color screens, and each screen has been shipped from the factory. For training, the color standard data is delta E≈0.44, JNCD≈0.36.
In addition, it also supports a series of complete flagship display functions such as Dolby Vision, game mode, and paper eye protection.
In various environments and scenarios, the most accurate and comfortable display effect is achieved. Note 11TPro+, a well-built LCD screen, has also passed DisplayMate A+ certification, a global authoritative evaluation agency, and achieved 14 screen records. This is also the world’s first LCD screen mobile phone product that has obtained A+ certification.
120W Immortal Second Charge
In addition to the blessing of the annual God U Dimensity 8100 and the top LCD screen, the Redmi Note 11T Pro+ also achieves a flagship combination in terms of charging and battery life. As the super-large cup product of the Note series, Pro+ focuses on the rapid decentralization of flagship technology.
This time, Note 11 Pro+ brings a 120W fast charge equipped with Xiaomi’s self-developed Surging P1 chip. With two high-efficiency 4:1 charging chips, the 4400mAh battery can be charged to 60% in 10 minutes and 100% in 19 minutes.
In terms of safety protection, Note 11T Pro+ has as many as 8 flame-retardant materials on the whole body, and with 41 safety protections on the whole machine, it fully ensures the safety of charging. It is especially worth mentioning that the Type-C charging port of the Note 11T Pro+ also uses a more expensive and more corrosion-resistant platinum coating, which makes charging more durable and stable.
