An Ornate Maze
Smart Photography|July 2023
Realme has been absent from our test bench for a while, but the brand came up with the 11 Pro+ recently. The phone boasts a 200-megapixel camera along with premium design. The device surely looks a stunner, but does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out.

Design and Build Quality

The Realme 11 Pro+ is designed to look premium, and the Sunrise Beige and Oasis Green devices feature a unique vegan leather design with the rear surface finish resembling a zippered jacket, complete with a braided lining and stitches. The screen is curved and is protected by a 0.65mm double-reinforced glass. The top and bottom are flat. The rear cameras are arranged within a circular camera bump with the main camera at the centre and the other two cameras diagonally opposite to each other. Overall, the phone gives a premium feel. The device measures 161.6 x 73.9 x 8.7mm and weighs 189g.

Key Features

The Realme 11 Pro+ uses a Mediatek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset with an octacore CPU and a Mali-G68 GPU. The device runs on Realme UI 4.0, wrapped around Android 13 OS. The phone is available in two variants, one with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and the second with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. We received the 12GB/256GB variant in Oasis Green finish. The devices offer dynamic RAM up to 24GB. The 11 Pro+ uses a 6.7-inch Full HD+ (2412 x 1080) display that offers up to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 360Hz touch sampling rate. The screen can display 1.07 Billion colours and cover 100 percent DCI-P3 gamut.
