Unboxing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (global version), successor to the excellent 10 Series smartphone, and possibly the best budget-friendly blower of 2022. Sporting a 108MP camera, Snapdragon 695 smarts and super specs, the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is looking like a top choice for demanding users. This hands-on review tests the gaming chops, photo capture and more, stay tuned for my final verdict in a few days!

Upgrades vs the standard Note 11 include a boost to that primary camera, now a Samsung HM2 sensor. Here's some early photo samples but stay tuned for that full review for my full thoughts. You also have a faster SoC which can cope with games like Genshin Impact, as well as PubG etc. Here's some tests to show off the speed, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G's 5000mAh battery gives all day play.

Xiaomi's MiUI 13 launcher offers a slew of bonus features, as well as far too many apps slogged on there. Android 12 upgrade? Hopefully won't be too long until that comes along, but no ETA just yet.

What comparisons etc would you like to see with other best budget phones of 2022? Let me know below!
