I've had the Redmi for about a week and these are the things that made me choose it over the a53: 1. The capacitive fingerprint sensor is WAY better - more reliable and faster - than the a53 cheap optical sensor and trust me, this is a real deal breaker 2. The 120W charging with the brick IN the box is super convenient and while it's not great for the battery I usually use a 33W charger from my old Poco F3(which is still faster than what the a53 can do + you have to buy the charger) to preserve the battery and it still does 0-100% in less than an hour 3. The Redmi is cheaper, comes with the charging brick, has a better processor, and the JBL tuned stereo speakers are pretty loud and clear for such a cheap device
@@TTks124 The Exynos 1280 on the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is NOT faster than the Exynos 1200 BUT the Exynos 990 is more powerful than the Exynos 1280 on the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G no yo add Xiaomi are giving you a 120W HyperCharge in the BOX!!!
Thank you Chris another great video, just reading through all the comments on these phone's and you can see the Samsung and Xiaomi fans putting their points across with passion, well all I can say is I buy the phone that's within my budget at the time I require and what I see is if you took the camera's from the Samsung and the rest from the Xiaomi you would have a great phone.
Is it true the Exynos Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older Snapdragon A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras now? Which ones would you guys choose in terms of general camera quality & performance and video recording? Would you still go for the Note 11 Pro+ in terms of cameras?
Thanks for the review, been looking to upgrade and this year phones midrange phones definitely seems to come with way caveats than before. I'm just glad Note 11 still has the classic trio of large screen, IR blaster, headphone jack and microsd card features despite the rather average camera. On a side note, I also need to see if that 120W charger and that custom cable can also work as a 65W USB-PD charger despite it being a Type A port.
@@SomeOldGamers not everyone's a photo freak, ya know? That ain't the note 11's battleground as you could see on the gaming test. The 2 phones are very similar on the other points (charging excluded), so it comes down to what you wanna do with your phone. As someone who doesn't take pictures or videos a lot, the cameras on the note 11 are fine by my standards and are counter-balanced by the perfs anyway, therefore i'll go with that one. But i also know friends for who the camera is the most important and they'd go for the A53 for that. As i like to say: life's never white or black, it's never a one fight case
The IR blaster is a life saver when traveling. Headphone jack is still useful because I have both wired and BT earphones. Micro SD card lets me backup my photos and videos without filling up my cloud account. Yes Redmi is still good, but I wish MIUI was as polished as, say, Realme UI.

A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke, one update doesn't last 3 years..
@@roboticvenom1935 i think that Xiaomi released many devices with MIUi 13 based on Android 11 instead of 12 intentionally so they'll have to devote less time to these devices, in short, it will shorten their software support period, which is already short compared to Samsung.
my Galaxy A51 got Android 12 update faster than most of the Xiaomi devices, and i'm sure that it will get Android 13 faster than future Xiaomi smartphones
The cameras are close. Unfortunately Redmi chose not to support image stabilization video on 4k 30. I don't get that especially when they could add a few bucks more on final price and folks would be happy to pay the difference. Also c'mon with the 2 mp macro. Make that a 5mp.
A 52s still a great deal. Samsung messed up with the A53 by slapping a chip that most likely won't get the support you'd hope for from developers. I tried the A 53 and it suffered so bad when heavy tasking lags, crashes and you name it. As long as samsung stick to snap dragon chips that's an easy win for samsung for me.
Your comment has aged poorly. Samsung has already improved performance with updates. I also honestly don't trust a second-tier Chinese company not to give the CCP spies access to my phone. I need my phone to be a secure device and you really wouldn't have that with the Note. As for the A52, you can basically turn Genshin Impact settings up a notch and burn through your battery 50% faster than the A53. So have fun with reduced battery life and knowing you aren't giving a damn about the environment. I am glad that, after using inefficient competitor chips for years, Samsung is getting back to making their own chips.
i don't know if it's just me but I prefer the screen of the a53. it has wider colour space on 6:21. it is wider in all areas compared to note 11 pro+ which already turns white on areas where Samsung's gamut continues
The a53 really has a better screen. Even on 6:49 the numbers and boxes are legible on the a53. 50 nits of brightness isn't much of a difference to wash out whatever is displayed especially since he is using a good camera to record the video
I hate my a52s so much, for daily user it stutter alot, and SOOOOOoOo uncomfortable to hold with boxy design. I always come back to my 4 years old xiaomi cc9 for medias consumption , and lighter and apparantly has better colour on the screen too. Im eyeing for nova 9 with 175gr only but no gms.

A53 is good but why not wait until summer when it's likely updated to A53s with a faster processor? Or just buy a cheaper A52s instead with better Snapdragon 778g and charger, and that same Snapdragon chip comes with excellent Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE version which is glass and much lighter 158 grams and also gets 3 OS updates 4 years security updates. ADDED in June: There's no chance of a A53s model this Summer, maybe in the Autumn at earliest?
You forgot to mention the four years of OS updates and five years of security updates with Samsung. Plus Samsung is fastest by far with updates. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung released Android 13 before Redmi even released Android 12. But I would love to pick Redmi if only they offered faster and longer software updates. One or two years just doesn't cut it with me.
The important thing on the redmi is to get new updates of MIUI, not the underlying android version. I have never felt any difference between android versions on MIUI given the same version of MIUI.
Can we talk about the fact that samsung artificially limits your ability to install / move apps to your memory card so that the phone memory gets full faster and you change your phone because you can't install more apps ? (On certain models like the A21s) or the fact that you ca't prevent the phone from killing app you precisely told it not to kill ?
I have the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in my Aliexpress shopping cart right now just waiting to pull the trigger. It's that, or the Umidigi a13 Pro Max 5G, or the Poco X4. I feel like the Note 11 Pro+ is the best choice. My Mi Max 3 is over four years old now,it's my daily driver, and is an amazing phone but it's slowing down a tad and still on Android 9(rooted and running Derpfest rom) and I want another phone that is as large to replace it. Awesome video. Very thorough. Thanks Double T!
Had a really bad experience with Xiaomi/Redmi before about the quality and software so yeah, even though Redmi offered better specs, provide a charger, screen protector and so on at a cheaper price, I'll still go for Samsung.
Pretty sure you never owned a Xiaomi and you're just talking shit. Samsung midrange phones are garbage and lack the details of what Xiaomi offers at the same price point. You might as well buy a Motorola.
there is no phone in that price segment or above with "dedicated SDcard,3.5 audio jack & OIS" except a52s...if only the chips would've been upgraded to MTK9000 series and the camera to imx766,charging speed to 33W and 5000mah, even with a little higher price, the new model,let's call it a53s, would've been perfect choice for many customers,if not all.
My bro got the A53 also for 200€. Bought from someone online , brand new though. And Damm, i felt some stutters using that phone. And mind u, i usually use a Redmi note 9T
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke
Cameras are really rubbish on the Redmi for the price. The photos were very blurry. The hm2 sensor has not been good on any phone and uses such a slow shutter speed on every phone it's used on. If you check the file info on photos you'll notice how slow it is resulting in lots of blurry shots with any moving subjects. To be honest both of these not great for the price. I think last year's models are better. You can get snapdragon 888 phones and dimensity 1200 phones for this price now that are better all round phones if you are willing to pick up a model from last year. There has been virtually no progress in smartphones in the last 2 years apart maybe from screens and there are great prices on last year's models so they make more sense. Just pick up a Xiaomi 11t with dimensity 1200 and much better cameras for example or something like that instead of the Redmi and you will have a much better phone for around the same price. Rant over. Nice comparison by the way as always. You are always very fair in your analysis
@@Techtablets True. Even the normal indoor shots on the Redmi are terribly blurry e.g. the pic of your daughter but all of the indoor pics really. Apart from cameras it seems like a good phone. Thanks for the review
Absolutely true...I have a 2-year-old Mi Note 10 and as for the performance is quite enough...as for the cameras, even the twice as expensive models from Xiaomi since then do not reach the qualities of this mobile
@@mark46ification Yeah, it's a pity they never really followed up on that phone. A flagship camera setup with a midrange chip. There are so many phones these days with flagship processors and midrange cameras but i think the mi note 10 might be the last one with a midrange chip and flagship cameras (can't think of any since that anyway)
1)Well optimised midrange SOC 2)flagship camera ( atleast main camera ) 3)good screen ( best 1080 display available out there) 4) IP 68, Expandable storage & 3.5 mm jack That's an ideal phone for most of the people ( except gamers though)
Great review. Xiaomi appears to be the winner based on hardware, while A53 is the winner on camera and UI. What is your view on overall longer term durability/reliability on either brands?
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke
@@roboticvenom1935 you sound ignorant just so you know xioami supports custom roms My 3 yr old redmi note 7 is running on the latest android 12 rn. 4 yrs is a joke compare to custom roms
@@roboticvenom1935 You do not seem to get how it works. The underlying android version does not make any noticeable difference on MIUI. It is the version of MIUI that is important when it comes to phones from Xiaomi. It is not like Pixel-devices where a new android version means a updated UI.
@@flipp081 what's this MIUI cope? "does not make any noticeable difference" like when android 12 noted important and specific under the hood efficiency improvements and reworkings? Furthermore, these devices don't get many MIUI updates in general, mostly security patches But you're right, Xiaomi has the worst android 12 build of any company on the planet. It has essentially none of the new and cool features from A12(besides widget animations), outdated trash
@@roboticvenom1935 You say that all the time but is not true. Is basically two Android updates from the one currently on market. My Mi Max 3 had Android 7 when I got it but it went to Android 10. I have a Redmi Note 9 Pro(2020 phone) and is on the list of getting Android 12 update and MIUI 13 although still on Android 11. It had Android 10 when I got it. It is already pass two years so I assume that will be the last major update. My Redmi Note 10 Pro(2021 phone) came with Android 10 as well but now is on Android 12 and is listed for Android 13 update and am certain that update will come much later than 2 years on the phone life. So is not really one year at all. Meanwhile system apps etc get updates still even on MiMax 2 and 3 that are 5 and 4 years old.
i would go for A53 because of One UI, longer software support (at least 3 Android updates) i used both MIUI and One UI and One UI is much better. Also imo Samsung photo processing is better in terms of dynamic range and night mode, also 4k video recording from front camera which is still not an option even for Xiaomi flagships.
Samsung has good software and other stuff the only big differences is chipset, dimensity 920 is two times powerful than the exynos used in Samsung a53. but if you are a casual user not a big deal.
@@azwads5126 not everyone has the possibility of having a separate camera with the appropriate lenses at all time, that's where good sensors on the A53 comes in. If you prefer perfs, like me, we'd both go for the note 11 pro+, but for people who prefer good cameras on their phones, the A53 is better suited. I'll repeat what i said in another answer: life's never white or black, it's never a one fight case
@@ratata42 are you kidding? Samsung offers 3 Android updates for higher A series smartphones such as A51, A52, A53 while Xiaomi gives 3 Android updates only to their flagships.
I hate the Samsung A5 line of phones with a passion, I had A5, A50 and A52 from my company and all were absolute crap after few months. After 1y the batteries started to be a farce, and the system fluidity diminished with every update. Never ever Samsung again!!!
I used to be an Apple guy until one day I tried editing a word document and couldn't, downloaded the app, wouldn't work, had to connect to iTunes which took two hours to update, then realised I couldn't store anything on my iPhone so I switched to android. Since then I've been buying these high spec Chinese brands and have been thoroughly satisfied with them. Until now. These days I look forward to better software and new android features which the Chinese brands seem to offer extremely late and if you're lucky, you get two updates and 3 years of security patches. So with the powerful hardware still working brilliantly, I find myself feeling the need to replace my phone prematurely just to get the newer android versions. That's why I'm now switching over to Samsung, 4 years of major android updates and 5 years of security patches. I hate that they make you buy a charger separately but I'd rather spend $25 more on a charger and then have something that continually feels fresh with updates for 4 or 5 years than to get a great rush from something like my current realme and then know it's only downhill from there.
Good one 👌 Which app do you use for GPS testing? The way that PUBG frame rates work, I believe, is the phone manufacturer has to pay the game manufacturer for them to enable any modes above 30FPS for a particular phone model.
same, used both Samsung and Xiaomi devices from same time period and price segment, yeah Xiaomi is better in terms of specs and a bit faster overall but MIUI just kills it, i switched back to a bit less powerful Samsung and i'm happy with it.
For me MIUI is much more preferrable because it is high performance compared to One UI. One UI is bloated and always gets slower when a new device is released on the older devices.
@@cmfrtblynmb02 One UI is not more bloated than MIUI. MIUI is the heaviest skin on any Android and it's default aggressive ram and battery saving settings frequently stop apps running in the background and mess them up
I was not surprised when samsung priced this A53 500usd here, its samsung, but xiaomi launched the 11pro+ for almost 400usd, not the redmi I used to know. Mi 11T is so close to its price, hope the rumored mi 12 lite will not break the 400usd mark.
Nice comparison, I don't care about the 120W charge of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ for me the Samsung is more efficient and very solid also it has the best screen on the market so I prefer it
a fair comparison mate y have done here. as always y should point out L1 support on both don't mean the same opportunities. what I mean is that: yes Netflix should run at HD resolution on both devices. BUT, what about Amazon prime or Disney plus? HD only on the Samsung ;) this might be a important info for many customers. hopefully you can opt in y videos in the future? IP rating in tropic inviroments: the Samsung do have, Redmi doesn't. Redmi is shipped with Android 11!!!! in consideration of the less numbers of full Android updates here, Samsung is truly the better choice. I wish you a great day mate. keep up doing content :)

no even with boost no reviewers are getting 15 minutes, xiaomi lies about their charging time anyways, when it hits 100%, It isn't actually 100%, it will continue to slowly charge for 10-25 minutes more! Look it up, investigated by Anandtech, google pixel meanwhile who's honest, doesn't do this.
I'd like to know if you use the Xiaomi charger on other phones, does it actually reduce their charging times? Or is that exclusively proprietary like one plus warp charge such that it's charger doesn't work with other phones?
@@mwat22 of course not, hell, xiaomi has to reduce the battery capacity to make sure the 120w charging isn't dangerous, the non 120w version of this phone has a whopping 5160mah battery, 120w version is only 4500, same with other companies. 120w = SHIT, less battery life, lower battery longevity as it hurts battery health through excessive heating and voltage
Hi Chris, I love your channel! thank you for the time and effort you've put into it. I need to choose between note the 11 pro plus 5g and the 11 lite 5g NE - Performance on the 11 lite seems better. Considering that I don't really need super speed charging and a 3.5mm jack, would you still recommend this over the lite NE?
Now I have 3 phone, Iphone 13 pro max, new samsung s22 ultra and new chipest phone is Redmi note 11 pro+. Now I am use 11 pro+ about 1 week. This phone is very worth buying. This camera is also good but not very great likè my s22U and IP 13 pro max. But speaker on Redmi 11 pro+ is great and sound use 3 direction is tôp n bottom firing and earpiece hole also too. When I am download costum EQ poweramp, the decibel sound is very awesome and better than my 13 pro max and s22U. Thanks for JBL tunes and use with linear magnet speaker on this phone chip phone only 300+US dollar and 1599myr(Ringgit Malaysia). Great job Xiaomi.👍👍👍
Lovely photos and videos.. Great video.. tough choice...Good review.. Samsung needs to up their game.. I really hope they can live up to their promise updates of 3 to 4 years! Good updates that is.. as the A52s had a bad one..
Please review Redmi K50 which will not be launching globally, seems like a interesting device as Cheapest phone with 2K 120Hz OLED display, huge 5500mAh battery and OIS enabled main camera and ofcourse Dimensity 8100 which I think will be the next 'SD870'
One important thing to note is that the A53 is supposed to get OS upgrades until Android 16 (4 upgrades and 5 years of security updates) while the Note 11 Pro+ might only get Android 12 (Redmi historically only provides 1 OS upgrade and 2-3 years of security updates).
For some price Xiaomi offers more performance while you've got really better camera system on the Samsung. If you don't care about the camera than the Redmi is the winner but to me it's even not an option.
I switched my Sim card from my Honor to my new Xiaomi 11e Pro. Now, I have connectivity problems. The phone loses the signal bars, the apps don't open (no internet), and the web search is very slow. Does anyone know how to fix that?
I totally luv redmi fones they are totally epic awesome brilliant I've taken amazing photos and video recording going to live concerts and watching you videos is out of this world I've never been a galaxy or Samsung fones i use to be a a Sony freak until I was interjusted to redmi so oh yes yes yes yes yes 🎉🎉🎉they are brilliant awesome amazing mobile company 100 percent happy 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉
You had to press the Samsung screen 3 times there to unlock it.. so how was that quicker than the redmi ?????? Redmi smashed it on 1st touch 🤷 Just saying..
After I look this video, I was buy a Xiaomi. Passed 6 month, and I didn't regret single cent for what I pay for Xiaomi. Fantastic phone. And yes, about 20 minutes for charging time 10%-100% battery.
I've had the Redmi for about a week and these are the things that made me choose it over the a53:
1. The capacitive fingerprint sensor is WAY better - more reliable and faster - than the a53 cheap optical sensor and trust me, this is a real deal breaker

3. The Redmi is cheaper, comes with the charging brick, has a better processor, and the JBL tuned stereo speakers are pretty loud and clear for such a cheap device
actually you can mitigate the drawbacks from this fast charging if you only quickly do it between 40-80%
I cycle my phone in that way.

A53 is good but why not wait until summer when it's likely updated to A53s with a faster processor? Or just buy a cheaper A52s instead with better Snapdragon 778g and charger, and that same Snapdragon chip comes with excellent Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE version which is glass and much lighter 158 grams and also gets 3 OS updates 4 years security updates. ADDED in June: There's no chance of a A53s model this Summer, maybe in the Autumn at earliest?
Maybie a53s it won't exist because the a52s came from a nasty a52 and A72 models and snapdragon 750g chips
You forgot to mention the four years of OS updates and five years of security updates with Samsung. Plus Samsung is fastest by far with updates. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung released Android 13 before Redmi even released Android 12. But I would love to pick Redmi if only they offered faster and longer software updates. One or two years just doesn't cut it with me.
I bet the Redmi will be faster after all that time. Samsung phones heavily slow down with time in my experience
The important thing on the redmi is to get new updates of MIUI, not the underlying android version. I have never felt any difference between android versions on MIUI given the same version of MIUI.
Can we talk about the fact that samsung artificially limits your ability to install / move apps to your memory card so that the phone memory gets full faster and you change your phone because you can't install more apps ? (On certain models like the A21s) or the fact that you ca't prevent the phone from killing app you precisely told it not to kill ?
It's 3 years security updates for Redmi notes. For me 3 years is long enough. I never had a phone more than 3 years.
Bullshit. stop with the fake promotion of Sumsang dude.
I have the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in my Aliexpress shopping cart right now just waiting to pull the trigger. It's that, or the Umidigi a13 Pro Max 5G, or the Poco X4. I feel like the Note 11 Pro+ is the best choice. My Mi Max 3 is over four years old now,it's my daily driver, and is an amazing phone but it's slowing down a tad and still on Android 9(rooted and running Derpfest rom) and I want another phone that is as large to replace it. Awesome video. Very thorough. Thanks Double T!
Had a really bad experience with Xiaomi/Redmi before about the quality and software so yeah, even though Redmi offered better specs, provide a charger, screen protector and so on at a cheaper price, I'll still go for Samsung.
Pretty sure you never owned a Xiaomi and you're just talking shit. Samsung midrange phones are garbage and lack the details of what Xiaomi offers at the same price point. You might as well buy a Motorola.
I feel you!👍👍
I too had bad experience with xiaomi. Never going back!
iPhone is best
@@WololoWololo2 iPhone best in some cases. But you can't go wrong with Samsung either.
@@mightyravener9192 what about huawei
After this fantastic comparison, i'll stay with my wonderful a52s ( snapdragon 778 + 3,5 jack ) paid € 200
Wise move I would also keep that A52S!
Only 200 euros? That's a steal.
there is no phone in that price segment or above with "dedicated SDcard,3.5 audio jack & OIS" except a52s...if only the chips would've been upgraded to MTK9000 series and the camera to imx766,charging speed to 33W and 5000mah, even with a little higher price, the new model,let's call it a53s, would've been perfect choice for many customers,if not all.
@@spac18 Used but in mint condition: paid 200 + 9 euro for 25w fast charger + 9 euro for usb c to c cable
My bro got the A53 also for 200€. Bought from someone online , brand new though.
And Damm, i felt some stutters using that phone. And mind u, i usually use a Redmi note 9T
The Redmi 11 Pro+ can output photos in RAW format. When is it going to be released in the UK?
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke
Awesome work and efforts by TechTablets
Great job, as always.
Thanks for watching!
Os upgrade in feature in Redmi note 11 pro plus 5g?
Güzel videların için çok teşekkür ediyorum.❤😮😮👍👍
Cameras are really rubbish on the Redmi for the price. The photos were very blurry. The hm2 sensor has not been good on any phone and uses such a slow shutter speed on every phone it's used on. If you check the file info on photos you'll notice how slow it is resulting in lots of blurry shots with any moving subjects. To be honest both of these not great for the price. I think last year's models are better. You can get snapdragon 888 phones and dimensity 1200 phones for this price now that are better all round phones if you are willing to pick up a model from last year. There has been virtually no progress in smartphones in the last 2 years apart maybe from screens and there are great prices on last year's models so they make more sense. Just pick up a Xiaomi 11t with dimensity 1200 and much better cameras for example or something like that instead of the Redmi and you will have a much better phone for around the same price. Rant over. Nice comparison by the way as always. You are always very fair in your analysis
OIS makes a huge difference with low light shots espcially.
@@Techtablets True. Even the normal indoor shots on the Redmi are terribly blurry e.g. the pic of your daughter but all of the indoor pics really. Apart from cameras it seems like a good phone. Thanks for the review
Absolutely true...I have a 2-year-old Mi Note 10 and as for the performance is quite enough...as for the cameras, even the twice as expensive models from Xiaomi since then do not reach the qualities of this mobile
@@mark46ification Yeah, it's a pity they never really followed up on that phone. A flagship camera setup with a midrange chip. There are so many phones these days with flagship processors and midrange cameras but i think the mi note 10 might be the last one with a midrange chip and flagship cameras (can't think of any since that anyway)
1)Well optimised midrange SOC
2)flagship camera ( atleast main camera ) 3)good screen ( best 1080 display available out there)
4) IP 68, Expandable storage & 3.5 mm jack
That's an ideal phone for most of the people ( except gamers though)
120w only works on 220-240v AC socket, if its plugged at 100-120v AC its capped at 96W
But it's still stupidly fast
Great review. Xiaomi appears to be the winner based on hardware, while A53 is the winner on camera and UI. What is your view on overall longer term durability/reliability on either brands?
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's fucking joke
@@roboticvenom1935 you sound ignorant just so you know xioami supports custom roms
My 3 yr old redmi note 7 is running on the latest android 12 rn.
4 yrs is a joke compare to custom roms
@@roboticvenom1935 You do not seem to get how it works. The underlying android version does not make any noticeable difference on MIUI. It is the version of MIUI that is important when it comes to phones from Xiaomi. It is not like Pixel-devices where a new android version means a updated UI.
@@flipp081 what's this MIUI cope? "does not make any noticeable difference" like when android 12 noted important and specific under the hood efficiency improvements and reworkings? Furthermore, these devices don't get many MIUI updates in general, mostly security patches
But you're right, Xiaomi has the worst android 12 build of any company on the planet. It has essentially none of the new and cool features from A12(besides widget animations), outdated trash
@@roboticvenom1935 You say that all the time but is not true. Is basically two Android updates from the one currently on market. My Mi Max 3 had Android 7 when I got it but it went to Android 10. I have a Redmi Note 9 Pro(2020 phone) and is on the list of getting Android 12 update and MIUI 13 although still on Android 11. It had Android 10 when I got it. It is already pass two years so I assume that will be the last major update. My Redmi Note 10 Pro(2021 phone) came with Android 10 as well but now is on Android 12 and is listed for Android 13 update and am certain that update will come much later than 2 years on the phone life. So is not really one year at all. Meanwhile system apps etc get updates still even on MiMax 2 and 3 that are 5 and 4 years old.
i would go for A53 because of One UI, longer software support (at least 3 Android updates) i used both MIUI and One UI and One UI is much better. Also imo Samsung photo processing is better in terms of dynamic range and night mode, also 4k video recording from front camera which is still not an option even for Xiaomi flagships.
Samsung has good software and other stuff the only big differences is chipset, dimensity 920 is two times powerful than the exynos used in Samsung a53. but if you are a casual user not a big deal.
@@Anything-j24mel most people are casual users, even if someone play games they play undemanding games.
No one really cares about cameras 🥱. Want a good camera buy a separate 📷🤔😂
@@azwads5126 not everyone has the possibility of having a separate camera with the appropriate lenses at all time, that's where good sensors on the A53 comes in. If you prefer perfs, like me, we'd both go for the note 11 pro+, but for people who prefer good cameras on their phones, the A53 is better suited.
I'll repeat what i said in another answer: life's never white or black, it's never a one fight case
@@ratata42 are you kidding? Samsung offers 3 Android updates for higher A series smartphones such as A51, A52, A53 while Xiaomi gives 3 Android updates only to their flagships.
but how many years the android support from Samsung or xiamoi? which will be having more years support`?
Super review. Love your channel
Wow, what a review. I really enjoyed this. I will be buying the Redmi 11 Pro+, thanks for the review.
I hate the Samsung A5 line of phones with a passion, I had A5, A50 and A52 from my company and all were absolute crap after few months. After 1y the batteries started to be a farce, and the system fluidity diminished with every update. Never ever Samsung again!!!
I used to be an Apple guy until one day I tried editing a word document and couldn't, downloaded the app, wouldn't work, had to connect to iTunes which took two hours to update, then realised I couldn't store anything on my iPhone so I switched to android. Since then I've been buying these high spec Chinese brands and have been thoroughly satisfied with them. Until now. These days I look forward to better software and new android features which the Chinese brands seem to offer extremely late and if you're lucky, you get two updates and 3 years of security patches.
So with the powerful hardware still working brilliantly, I find myself feeling the need to replace my phone prematurely just to get the newer android versions.
That's why I'm now switching over to Samsung, 4 years of major android updates and 5 years of security patches.
I hate that they make you buy a charger separately but I'd rather spend $25 more on a charger and then have something that continually feels fresh with updates for 4 or 5 years than to get a great rush from something like my current realme and then know it's only downhill from there.
Well Detailed Review!!!
i wanna buy s22 ultra or zfold 3 , which one i go for ?????
Good one 👌
Which app do you use for GPS testing?
The way that PUBG frame rates work, I believe, is the phone manufacturer has to pay the game manufacturer for them to enable any modes above 30FPS for a particular phone model.
the front camera of the note 11 pro looks more natural than the a53 except for the clouds on video mode only.
Definitely, the Redmi Note 11 pro is the overall winner.
Any phone that runs the quirky, buggy MIUI cannot be recommended. I'd take a lesser powered Samsung with the excellent One UI everyday of the week.
same, used both Samsung and Xiaomi devices from same time period and price segment, yeah Xiaomi is better in terms of specs and a bit faster overall but MIUI just kills it, i switched back to a bit less powerful Samsung and i'm happy with it.
For me MIUI is much more preferrable because it is high performance compared to One UI. One UI is bloated and always gets slower when a new device is released on the older devices.
@@cmfrtblynmb02 One UI is not more bloated than MIUI. MIUI is the heaviest skin on any Android and it's default aggressive ram and battery saving settings frequently stop apps running in the background and mess them up
I was not surprised when samsung priced this A53 500usd here, its samsung, but xiaomi launched the 11pro+ for almost 400usd, not the redmi I used to know. Mi 11T is so close to its price, hope the rumored mi 12 lite will not break the 400usd mark.
I got the A53 for 350 €.. Meaning about 380 $. I couldn't resist 😄
does it have electronic stabilization on 1080 60fps on Xiamo on the main camera ???
Did you get the cats pawmission before using her(he?) in the videos?
Let me know how to shoot Cinematic videos on Redminote 11pro please.
Nice comparison, I don't care about the 120W charge of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ for me the Samsung is more efficient and very solid also it has the best screen on the market so I prefer it
Wrong.
The 3 year old A50 runs Smooth + Extreme on Pubg with it's dated Exynos 9610. A53 should've no issues running it.
add some lines of code in the App and the 60FPS will be enable
It's merely optimization
But my a50 ui lagging like hell even doing basic multitasking using swipe gesture it's almost never smooth
a fair comparison mate y have done here. as always y should point out L1 support on both don't mean the same opportunities. what I mean is that: yes Netflix should run at HD resolution on both devices. BUT, what about Amazon prime or Disney plus? HD only on the Samsung ;) this might be a important info for many customers. hopefully you can opt in y videos in the future? IP rating in tropic inviroments: the Samsung do have, Redmi doesn't. Redmi is shipped with Android 11!!!! in consideration of the less numbers of full Android updates here, Samsung is truly the better choice. I wish you a great day mate. keep up doing content :)
For me both phones are great but I prefer MiUI. 3 years of updates is long enough for me.
A53.. way better updates, 4 YEARS OS> xiaomi gives two, but actually, it's only ONE, since it's launching on last generations android 11 and not android 12 like the A53, pathetic. So updates are FOUR vs ONE?!?!? that's a fucking joke.
@@roboticvenom1935 LOL, man please shut up you are killing me. 🤣🤣🤣
@@hermanstokbrood sorry the truth hurts buddy
i subscibed today xiaomi redmi note 11 pro and looking forward to it so much😊
To get the 15 min charge time, you need to go to battery settings and select boost
Setting isn’t there or available on my firmware or I would have done that…
@@Techtablets weird, typical Xiaomi different regions different features
no even with boost no reviewers are getting 15 minutes, xiaomi lies about their charging time anyways, when it hits 100%, It isn't actually 100%, it will continue to slowly charge for 10-25 minutes more! Look it up, investigated by Anandtech, google pixel meanwhile who's honest, doesn't do this.
I'd like to know if you use the Xiaomi charger on other phones, does it actually reduce their charging times? Or is that exclusively proprietary like one plus warp charge such that it's charger doesn't work with other phones?
Proprietary.
@@ocb05 oh okay so it wouldn't work on my phone despite being from the same company
@@mwat22 of course not, hell, xiaomi has to reduce the battery capacity to make sure the 120w charging isn't dangerous, the non 120w version of this phone has a whopping 5160mah battery, 120w version is only 4500, same with other companies. 120w = SHIT, less battery life, lower battery longevity as it hurts battery health through excessive heating and voltage
Hi Chris, I love your channel! thank you for the time and effort you've put into it. I need to choose between note the 11 pro plus 5g and the 11 lite 5g NE - Performance on the 11 lite seems better. Considering that I don't really need super speed charging and a 3.5mm jack, would you still recommend this over the lite NE?
I think the delay on the side mounted fingerprint sensor is to prevent accidental unlocking, but I could be wrong.
Does Redmi support any decent Bluetooth codecs? AAC? LDAC?
Xiaomi specs kill but in terms of durability don't expect too much, ask RMN 10 pro users motherboard gate.
Now I have 3 phone, Iphone 13 pro max, new samsung s22 ultra and new chipest phone is Redmi note 11 pro+. Now I am use 11 pro+ about 1 week. This phone is very worth buying. This camera is also good but not very great likè my s22U and IP 13 pro max. But speaker on Redmi 11 pro+ is great and sound use 3 direction is tôp n bottom firing and earpiece hole also too. When I am download costum EQ poweramp, the decibel sound is very awesome and better than my 13 pro max and s22U. Thanks for JBL tunes and use with linear magnet speaker on this phone chip phone only 300+US dollar and 1599myr(Ringgit Malaysia). Great job Xiaomi.👍👍👍
Oh my the redmi is so attractive - with all the free accessories and headphone jack. But I really like a53's camera.
Please compare the note 11 pro plus with the note 10 pro 🥺🥺
Note Pro 11 plus great phone for the price. Thanks for review.
Lovely photos and videos.. Great video.. tough choice...Good review.. Samsung needs to up their game.. I really hope they can live up to their promise updates of 3 to 4 years! Good updates that is.. as the A52s had a bad one..

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is better than Samsung Galaxy A53 plus Xiaomi give us thw chrager in the box!!!
One important thing to note is that the A53 is supposed to get OS upgrades until Android 16 (4 upgrades and 5 years of security updates) while the Note 11 Pro+ might only get Android 12 (Redmi historically only provides 1 OS upgrade and 2-3 years of security updates).
For some price Xiaomi offers more performance while you've got really better camera system on the Samsung. If you don't care about the camera than the Redmi is the winner but to me it's even not an option.
I bought the Samsung. I have att service and the phone works great with it. Also, Samsung is good with the updates.
I switched my Sim card from my Honor to my new Xiaomi 11e Pro.
Now, I have connectivity problems. The phone loses the signal bars, the apps don't open (no internet), and the web search is very slow.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Yes I agree with you the Winner and Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G
I just got my redmi a couple of days ago. So far so good. Can anyone enlighten me what's d max gb d SD card I can put in?
I would prefer 5000mah battery with 33w changer, Sony IMS 766 64mp camera+ois with lesser price
good luck finding that

This is how the description and comparison need to be on more functional items rather than cosmetics... Good joib
I love your design of presentation side by side comparison
I'm very curious as to how you know they don't support video out? Not doubting you but wondering if you've tried a USB-C to HDMI cable at all.
Actually I found that USB-C 2.0 doesn't have any video out capabilities...

It’s great that you’re testing safety net. Keep up the good job!
I totally luv redmi fones they are totally epic awesome brilliant I've taken amazing photos and video recording going to live concerts and watching you videos is out of this world I've never been a galaxy or Samsung fones i use to be a a Sony freak until I was interjusted to redmi so oh yes yes yes yes yes 🎉🎉🎉they are brilliant awesome amazing mobile company 100 percent happy 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉
REDMI is okay never had one but kinda skeptical maybe I'll get one in the near future but right now I'm using my Samsung 😆
What are your voltage? If you have 110v, the charger will only operate at 90W, and that is why you can't achieve the 15m advertised.
230v
Is bloatware removable on the redmi? I've never tried this OS before and honestly kinda scared that i'd get ads on the phone or some sht
yep tthey are
Ola! Note is there better option. Thanks Chris.
Hello Sir i'm from Malaysia i love you Channel ♥️🇲🇾👍
Good to see they both have sd card slots.
Hi, can anyone tell me, which device is best for me,,a53 or note 11 pro+,not for gaming, only for social media like TH-cam, tiktok,Instagram etc...
Agree👍
Note 11 pro + is clearer on audio recording than A53. And A53 is winner on clear images. The rest note 11 pro + wins
yes
You had to press the Samsung screen 3 times there to unlock it.. so how was that quicker than the redmi ??????
Redmi smashed it on 1st touch 🤷
Just saying..
After I look this video, I was buy a Xiaomi. Passed 6 month, and I didn't regret single cent for what I pay for Xiaomi. Fantastic phone. And yes, about 20 minutes for charging time 10%-100% battery.
I am really interested in the Redmi note 11 Pro +, but would it run the Google camera app? That might improve the camera experience, wouldn't it?
Gcam on a non snapdragon chip is usually a struggle, I haven't been able to find a working one on my brothers OnePlus Nord 2 (dimensity 1200)
Yes
"The screens look almost identical."
That's because apart from the size, they are. The Redmi screen is made by Samsung.
it seems to me that the Samsung main camera takes much better and sharper photos !
