Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E Pro

  • Potentially faster initial charging (50% in 15 mins)
  • Shares the same Snapdragon 695 5G chipset for comparable performance
  • Likely competitive pricing

  • Slightly slower full charge time (42 mins vs 41 mins)
  • Limited information on display specifications
  • Camera specs are vague

Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G

  • More efficient charging curve (70% in 22 mins)
  • Identical 119-hour endurance rating
  • Shares the same Snapdragon 695 5G chipset

  • Slightly slower initial charging compared to the Redmi Note 11E Pro
  • Limited information on display specifications
  • Camera specs are vague

Display Comparison

Both the Redmi Note 11E Pro and Poco X4 Pro 5G feature displays with an 'Infinite' contrast ratio, indicating a standard AMOLED panel. However, detailed specifications like peak brightness, color gamut coverage (DCI-P3), and refresh rate are missing. Given the price bracket, we can assume both utilize 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate, common in this segment. The lack of LTPO technology suggests neither display will dynamically adjust refresh rates for power saving, relying on fixed settings.

Camera Comparison

Both phones are listed with 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific sensor details. The omission of sensor size and aperture information makes a direct comparison impossible. It’s likely both feature a primary sensor around 64MP, but image quality will depend heavily on the image signal processor (ISP) tuning and software algorithms. The presence of a 2MP macro camera on both is largely a marketing feature with limited practical utility. OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) is a critical feature for low-light photography and video recording, and its absence or presence would significantly impact camera performance.

Performance

The core of both devices is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm). This chipset features an octa-core CPU configuration with 2x 2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold cores and 6x 1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver cores. Performance will be nearly identical for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. The absence of information regarding RAM type (LPDDR4X vs LPDDR5) and storage speed (UFS 2.2 vs UFS 3.1) impacts responsiveness; faster RAM and storage would benefit multitasking and app loading times. Thermal management is also a key factor, and without specific cooling system details, it’s difficult to predict which device will sustain peak performance for longer durations.

Battery Life

Both the Redmi Note 11E Pro and Poco X4 Pro 5G share an endurance rating of 119 hours, suggesting similar real-world battery life. However, the charging speeds differ slightly. The Redmi Note 11E Pro reaches 50% charge in 15 minutes and 100% in 42 minutes, while the Poco X4 Pro 5G achieves 70% in 22 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. This indicates the Poco X4 Pro 5G has a more efficient charging curve, delivering a larger percentage of charge in a shorter timeframe, particularly in the critical initial stages. Both support PD3.0 and QC3 fast charging standards.

Buying Guide

Buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11E Pro if you prioritize a potentially faster initial charging burst (50% in 15 minutes) and are looking for the absolute lowest price point. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you value consistent battery performance, a slightly more optimized charging experience (reaching 70% faster), and a potentially wider availability depending on your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Snapdragon 695 5G in either phone struggle with demanding games like Genshin Impact?
The Snapdragon 695 5G is a capable chipset for casual gaming, but demanding titles like Genshin Impact will require significant graphics settings reductions to achieve playable frame rates. Expect medium to low settings for a smoother experience on both the Redmi Note 11E Pro and Poco X4 Pro 5G.
❓ Is the 2MP macro camera on either phone worth using for close-up shots?
Generally, 2MP macro cameras on budget phones offer limited image quality. The small sensor size and fixed focus result in soft, often noisy images. While usable in ideal lighting conditions, don't expect professional-level macro photography from either device.
❓ How does the 67W charging affect the long-term battery health of these phones?
While 67W charging is fast, modern smartphones employ battery management systems to mitigate the impact of fast charging on long-term battery health. These systems regulate voltage and current to prevent overheating and excessive stress on the battery. However, consistently using extremely fast charging *may* contribute to slightly faster battery degradation over several years.
❓ Do either of these phones support expandable storage via microSD card?
Information regarding microSD card support is not provided in the specifications. However, given the target market, it's likely that at least one of the devices offers a microSD card slot for storage expansion, but this needs to be verified with official product documentation.
