FANCY a sensibly-priced device with top specs and visually-pleasing aesthetics? Then the realme 11 Pro 5G might be up your alley. It’s got a stellar performance, it looks cool, and it’s got 5G.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the 11 Pro 5G is a testament to that. Its back is swathed in premium vegan leather co-designed by realme Design Studio and former Gucci Prints and Textile Designer Matteo Menoto. It looks elegant, especially in the Sunrise Beige color we have on hand. What’s even better is the overall hand-feel of the device—the material allows comfortable grip for hours on end.

In a refreshing change from all the twin-reflex design camera layouts we’ve been seeing lately, realme went for a large, circular ring layout for the cameras on this latest addition to the company’s mid-range segment.
The rear camera comes with a trio, featuring a 100MP main camera with optical image stabilization and 2X zoom technology, a 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor.
The selfie camera, on the other hand, is 16MP.
Furthermore, it has a Street Photography Mode that we are already familiar with, enabling users to capture fleeting moments in an instant.
Switching over to the front, realme has done a brilliant job with the display. The smartphone’s display is quite big at 6.72”, has a 1080 x 2408 (Full HD+) resolution—a plus point, a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels for that more colorful, immersive viewing experience for its users. 11 Pro 5G is a delight to use as the colors pop, its display size is great for watching videos, and its 120Hz refresh rate makes for a super-smooth gaming experience (as long as your game supports it!).
At over 950 nits, the smartphone’s display gets surprisingly bright, making outdoor viewing easy as pie, especially on sunny days here in the Philippines! As for sharpness, we found the smartphone to perform admirably, providing more than adequate detail in all scenarios tested, including reading fine text from a zoomed-out article.
Charging the smartphone is suitably fast, too. It took just around 35 minutes to go from scratch to 100% using the supplied 67w SuperVOOC charging brick.
A few other notable features that appear in 11 Pro 5G includes a 5,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint scanner, and Dolby Atmos stereo speakers.
Arriving in Sunrise Beige, Oasis Green, and Astral Black color variants, realme 11 Pro 5G looks to be a promising contender in the premium mid-range space. Its stunning design, an extremely versatile set of cameras, and an industry-leading fast charging truly makes it an absolute head turner.
But if you have a little more money to spend, its sibling, the realme 11 Pro+ 5G, is a nice choice, too, as it is equipped with a powerful 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera, crystal-clear 120Hz Curved OLED Display, MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, and 100W SUPERVOOC Charge.
