48th
15th
Pros
- Outstanding autonomy when using social apps on-the-go
- Low discharge currents when streaming music and video over wi-fi during our calibrated tests
- Good performance during a 5-minute charging boost, with a gain of 6 hours and 19 minutes on average
- Excellent charge efficiency
Cons
- High discharge current when using GPS on the go
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G’s overall battery score places it in the Top 10 of our entire database. It is a very well-balanced device, providing more than 2.5 days of autonomy when used moderately, a good charging experience, and decent efficiency.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G’s performance was mixed during the on-the-go tests, with strong autonomy for social apps, but low autonomy when using GPS navigation. The 67W charger filled up the large 5000 mAh battery in 58 minutes and 58 seconds, which is very fast for the Advanced segment. A 5-minute quick charging boost yielded a good autonomy of 6 hours and 19 minutes. The charge was also very efficient. The device had good control of discharge currents when comparing the entire database, with lower-than-average consumption in most uses. But discharge currents were only average for the segment, with a high consumption noted when using GPS on the go.
Compared with other devices in the Advanced segment ($200 to $400), the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G’s overall performance was ranked among the best, with charging and efficiency ranked above average, and autonomy slightly below average.

Autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: Stationary, On the go, and Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.
On the go

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, the subway…) for each device
Calibrated

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.
Charging

Charging is fully part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where autonomy is at a minimum, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.
Full charge

224
Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long and how much power the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the UI, and until an actual full charge.
Quick boost

212
With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes. The chart here compares the average autonomy gain from a quick 5-minute charge.
Efficiency

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.
Charge up

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.
Discharge

194
The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.
