The realme 11 Pro has the same 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED punch-hole screen with a pixel resolution of 2412 × 1080 pixels, 61° curved glass screen with gentle rounded corners as the 11 Pro+. The sunlight legibility is good as well, thanks to 950 nits peak brightness. It has 100% DCI-P3, so the colors are vibrant. The phone has 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, so it is pretty smooth to use.

The phone has a 2160Hz high-frequency dimming technology. In dark environments (brightness below 90 nits) where DC dimming can’t work, the phone will automatically switch to 2160Hz PWM dimming mode to maintain accurate colors on display with a more comfortable eye experience, said the company.

The phone has the punch-hole that houses a 16-megapixel camera, same as the 10 Pro. The earpiece is present on the top, and acts as a secondary speaker.

The phone has ultra-narrow border, so it has high screen-to-body ratio of about 93.65%. It also has HDR support, which works for supported YouTube videos, but it doesn’t work in Netflix.

The phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner which is quick to unlock the phone. Thanks to COP Ultra packaging technology, so it has 2.33mm ultra-narrow chin.

Coming to the button placements and ports, the power button is present on the right side along with the volume rockers. The dual SIM slot, primary microphone, USB Type-C port and the loudspeaker grill are present on the bottom. The secondary microphone is on the top. The phone doesn’t have an expandable storage. Audio from the stereo speakers is good.

It has 4K video 30fps recording and portrait video support up to 720p. There is OIS support for the rear camera and EIS for the front. Check out some camera samples.

Coming to the design, the phone has a vegan leather back and a lace-like strip that encircles its camera module and runs straight down to the bottom. The company has partnered with former GUCCI Prints designer Matteo Menotto and the realme Design Studio has also worked on the design of the phone.

It has a 5000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging that can charge up to 50% in 18 minutes. This is a major upgrade from 33W charging in the 10 Pro, but the Pro+ offer 100W fast charging.
