Reasons to Choose Redmi Note 11

Reasons to Choose Realme 9i

Supports five-level refresh rates - 30Hz, 48Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, and 90Hz.
Features Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) tech that adds 5GB of virtual RAM to the smartphone.

Our Verdict

When comparing the two smartphones side by side, both these budget devices feature similar specs. Both are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G processor and pack a large 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Even the camera system of both smartphones is almost similar, with a 50-megapixel primary sensor headlining both. But in our view, the Redmi Note 11 is a slightly better option if you are looking to buy one.

Although the Realme 9i offers some latest techs like Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) and dynamic refresh rates, the brighter and more visually pleasing AMOLED display on the Redmi Note 11 with a lower price tag takes the dub.
