INFINIX NOTE 11 PRO WITH HIGH GAMING PERFORMANCE. CHECK IT OUT

Hello, I've got here with me a fresh new Infinix Note 11 Pro which Infinix itself is big enough as a budget-friendly gaming smartphone at all costs at $230. There's no plan to release it directly into some location but you will be able to import it, and for that place point, you will get some rest of the premium specs including a 120Hertz display you get a 5,000 mAh capacity battery with fast charge support.

You see even apparently a telephoto camera lens but is the Infinix Note 11 Pro any good? Well, let's whip it out the box — test out that gaming performance, check out the camera tech, all that good stuff right here on our article.

UNBOXING

So first up, what do you get inside of this impressively green box, besides the Infinix Note 11 Pro? Well, you've got yourself a slightly chunky power adapter, a bit of USB type-C action; a rubbery condom case to keep your Note 11 Pro in tiptop condition. You also get what looks like a Dollar bill randomly, but it's actually an invitation to join the X-club, which sounds like pure filth as it just seems to be some sort of a virtual fan club where you can mingle online with fellow tech nerds; and instead of a pre-installed screen protector US-drive, you just got one bundled in the box. There, you can decide whether you want it or not at all —whenever. And that's it, everything that you'll find in there. So, the Infinix Note 11 Pro is, to put it mildly, enormous. This is a 6.95" "Godzilla" of the smartphone just like its predecessor, the Note 10 Pro, certainly got a good hedge to it, and you will want to use this thing with two hands because one hand is going to give one freaking luck. So, you hand it with care.

You've got a plastic back with a matte finish, which has got a sort of a slightly textured vibe to it as well, which just helps with the grip, and is always good. That matte finish also means that you don't get greasy points all over things seconds after you lay hands on it. This is the not particularly exciting mouthful grey model, but other more colorful hues like haze green and mist blue are also available. So overall, yeah, the Infinix Note 11 Pro is a "beast" I wouldn't prefer it quite so big, but I understand some people do like it — a rather palm-filling, shall we say, but I do like the overall design here on the Infinix Note 11 Pro. It's very simple, and straightforward. It looks rather smart as well and quite understated in a way.

The camera lens doesn't jut too far out of that end. The likes of the headphone jack pressing incorrect, which is always a bonus. So, it may be a whopper, but I quite like it. Let's give the Infinix Note 11Pro quick pork and see what's lurking inside the SIM tray.

And it's really good news on that from, because not only do you have space for two SIM cards at the same time, side by side, but you've also, on the flip reverse side got space for a micro SD memory card to expand that storage, and no Gorilla glass for that display, unfortunately. But at least you'll get the screen protector bundled in the box.

Alright, so the Infinix Note 11 Pro is all set up ready for action and it is an Android device, but Android is a very different beast indeed. Under that XOS 10 launcher shares similarities with me-ui on the Xiaomi smartphone. So, for instance,  you can drag down the notifications bar from the left-hand side but if you pull down from the right-hand side, you'll pull down this kind of control center type thing. Fast access all of your main toggles, and completely customize that to throw in any features that you adore, and that you access quite a bit. And as you see, XOS does add a lot of additional looks on top of Android. This is particularly handy especially when you're dealing with a 6.95" beast like the Infinix Note 11 Pro. And there's an incredible amount of customization you can do here on XOS as well. So, if you dive into the menu, for instance, you've got all kinds of settings you can play around with including the page effect; changing up the grid size, the folders, the text color. So, it's not quite as in-depth as a launcher like Nova, for instance, but it's pretty good, and as with custom launchers, like Nova, you've got plenty of gesture support thrown in there as well, which you can fully customize, and like a lot of other launchers, you've also got your themes App, which you can use to completely change up the look and feel of your desktops in just quick tap. And then also, if you don't get the google to discover feed, you he a custom set of widgets allowing you to quickly start a bit of exercise, shows your recent Apps — you've got the smart scenes as well, which could show you upcoming events, and all kinds of shenanigans. You can even check out the latest news headlines. But we'll not be doing that right now. So, this is just a tip of an iceberg ready. There are so many different bonus features and other bits chucked on there that you don't get in standard Android far too much to even begin to go into.

But of course, rolling with a heavy launcher like XOS also has its downsides, for instance, God knows how long it's going to be before this thing gets Android  12 updates. And also, when you get stunned with Android features like the Apps stream, and everything, if you flick into the App stream, is an absolute "horror show", because of how much crap where you get pre-installed on this bloody thing, I mean it'll take you the best part of the say just uninstall all the stuff that comes in, your part which you have no idea what that is, perhaps you can get rid of it, not without some jiggery poker anyway. The best you can do is disable the bugger. And some of the Apps like the WPS office, you can uninstall, which is good.

You can see they got a generous 128G of storage bunked inside the Infinix Note 11 Pro, but a hearty portion of that to take it up with all the shites that come pre-installed. I'll probably put about 5giggs on my Apps on that. So, you can see a big old chunk is taken up. So, it's just as well cool; you've got that micro SD memory card support, you can expand that quickly and easily.

 

Knuckle blades on the security side, though you've got an edge-mounted fingerprint sensor, just mounted on the right side as usual. You can see they're nice and nippy, and that is even though it's super tiny, and you've also got some face recognition sensor — just as well nippy as that fingerprint sensor.

LANDSCAPE

Now, if you like them large, you're probably going to enjoy the Infinix Note 11 Pro with its 6.5" IPS screen, that's the same dimensions as the Note 10 Pro, the previous generation — same resolution as well, full HD + the visuals are still reasonably crisp despite the fact this us the size of a freaking tablet. And so far, it seems like a solid panel, just a tiny little bit of a light blade and not too bad at all, nice strong view, going on top brightness. You'll easily be able to see this thing outdoor. I had no problems with visibility, colors are sort of reasonably punchy for an IPS panel as well. The contrast isn't too shabby, and it goes all the way up to 120Hertz refresh as well up from 90Hertz in the previous generation, complete with a good bot of auto-refresh action as well. So, it can automatically scale from 60 to 120Hertz depending on what you're up to.

However, and annoyingly, at the time the device was pre-installed, there is no support for Netflix or Disney+ on the Note 11 Pro. That's probably, and hopefully, that should be added soon. On the audio front, you've got a stereo speaker set up on the Infinix Note 11 Pro.

On top of the volume, the Infinix Note 11 Pro is proper loud as out that should be fine even if you're like next to a construction site nonstop drilling, you should still be able to hear this thing —cloudy is all alright on the top volume as well no my bad at all. And yeah, you do of course have a bot of headphone jack action as well a blue tooth. To do use headphones obviously if you jump on into the audio settings, you've got full support for a bit of DTS action as with the previous generation so you can have it on the smart mode where it just changes up the audio configuration, depending on what you're up to or you can have a specific setting on the go or if you want to, you can even bugger around with an actual equalizer.

CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE

Now the Note 11 Pro is powered by the Mediatek Helio G96 chipset; the ultimate gaming processor as Infinix itself puts it, backed up by 8G of RAM. Now the helio G96 is another 12-nanometer chipset just like the G95 is succeeded, which means, it's not particularly energy-efficient. It uses the same CPU as that G95 and a slightly lesser GPU for reasons. So, the Infinix Note 11 Pro spasts out very similar Gigs by the scores to the Infinix Note 10 Pro, the previous generation. This doesn't exactly expect a huge uplift in the game and performance. One of the main benefits of the G96 is that 120Hertz displays support, so that's one of the reasons, I guess, why Infinix decided to go with this one. But let's get a bit of gaming on the go here on the Note 11 Pro and see exactly.

GAMING

As usual, you've got fast access to all your games via the X-arena App, and this also gives you access to Dar-Link Engine gaming features as well. So, you can see there you can block out the entire world while you are gaming, and you've also got the optimized game graphics option —this is meant to keep the visual nice and smooth, and prevent at weight like ghosting happening when you are gaming.

However, unfortunately, I was limited to the medium graphics quality, and the high frame rate here on the Note 11 Pro in "Call-of-Duty mobile" but it didn't impact the gameplay, for me, the main thing was that the frame related stayed consistently smooth; no real jitters or drops (which made it more likely that was going to get my head blown off by bloody teenager on their school holiday from the online gaming). The screen is responsible as well with its 180Hertz touch sampling support and a nice big wide view of the action — certainly helped out as well, so, with my knack-it-all peepers.

SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION AND DISADVANTAGE

The Infinix Note 11 Pro also has a built-in graphite coolant system, and even after several frantic games of Call-to-duty mobile, with my sweaty hands clutching l, this thong is tight! It was only just ever, so slightly, starting to warm up. So you can enjoy your gaming experience here on the info is Note 11 Pro. However, sadly, not much of an upgrade at all over the previous generation. I was hoping for a bit more beef in this one, but it's a perfectly great way if get into your Call-to-duty mobile, your Pub G's, all the good stuff. And also, another disadvantage of the G96 is once again, you've got no 5G support here on the Infinix Note 11 Pro. So, if you're going to want a bit of 5G at this sort of budget price point, you're going to have to look at the likes of the Nokia G50, the Moto G50.

BATTERY CAPACITY

Now battery life. The battery tech hasn't changed up at all here, on the Infinix Note 11 Pro compared with the Infinix Note 10 Pro. It's once again a 5000 milli-amp (5000mAh) capacity cell with 33watt fast charging, and that's fine by me. Because the battery life on the Infinix Note 11 Pro once again is stellar you'll easily make it through, a full day of use even with lots of screen on time, media streaming, camera play, all that stuff. For example, I got up just over two some time ago, I've had this device turned on pretty much nonstop gaming, streamed YouTube trailers, shots for all kinds of stuff and it's only down to 88% from 100.

 CAM TECH

As for the camera tech, well, that has changed up a fair bit from the previous generation by a 64meagapixel primary sensor. Now the XOS camera UI is very much like XOS — you very much love it or ...hate it. But for me, it's dense with different tools, features toggles like just up top got a toggle for you your HDR. You can boost it up to a 64megapixel shot, otherwise, it's 16megapixel by default using a 4in1 pixel bin. Here, you got the various filters that you can play around with, naturally. And the audio mode is the AI CAM mode, and this does change up the settings and swap to different modes based on what you're shooting. There are also bugger tons of other bonus moves being swapped to, if you want, including the obligatory beauty mode.

NIGHT MODE

You've got a super night mode as well for when things get dark, it's like most of the smartphones these days. Just plenty of these things that you can play around with if you like. And considering, this is a budget smartphone. It does a respectable job of staffing out decent family pics. So, you know, can capture pets, and kids at play as long as the lighting isn't too dim; fairly enough natural colors. As well you get occasional saturation when you're shooting in bright light high contrast. This thing is not a fan-off, and any kind of motion in low light all of the usual budget smartphones was. And that super night mode does help to brighten up a snap as well. It doesn't add much in the way of clarity or anything or anything as well, so you are definitely on the go if possible. 

But one of the major changes for the Infinix Note 11 Pro versus the old temporal is the fact that you've now got a 13-megapixel telephoto lens rather than an ultra-wide-angle shooter. And as you can see there, this seems to offer a 2X optical zoom. You could also punch in up to 30X with the digital zoom. Yeah! It's a foot run of budget price point, so it's great to see it here on the Infinix Note 11 Pro. But of course, it does mean you don't get an ultra-wide-angle shooter as well, so just bear that in mind.

And then, that final lens here on the back end of the Infinix Note 11 Pro is just a basic two-megapixel depth sensor for your portrait shots. So, nothing exciting there, and then last up to around front, you have a 16megapixel selfie CAM as well. If you happen to like your face and you want to take photographs of it. And this again is slightly perturbed by strong light and in low light, it does struggle a little bit although you do have a screen flash features sort of help out a bit. It's all good so that in a nutshell, is the fresh new Infinix Note 11 Pro in many areas such as performance and battery life. but you don't have a 120Hertz display, still an absolutely gargantuan bugger, and of course, that telephoto camera lens as well, if you need to get a bit closer to action. Next of it is the legend with crapper air, of course. And there's still no 5G support on this thing but you know those minor grumbles aside you've got pretty much everything on here that you need; the likes of expandable storage, a headphone jack, so what do you reckon? It will be great if you drop a comment. We catch you on the next one.
