Unboxing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (global edition), the latest budget friendly smartphone to hit the UK boasting a 50MP camera, respectable gaming chops, long battery life and an AMOLED screen. This hands-on review tests the optics, performance and MiUI 13 experience. Stay tuned for my Redmi Note 11 Pro coverage too!

The global version of this 6.4-inch phone is powered by the Snapdragon 680, which proved speedy enough to keep Xiaomi's MiUI launcher running smoothly. I found gaming on Call of Duty Mobile to be perfectly responsive, with Game Turbo features to help out too.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 may lack the 108MP primary camera sensor of that Pro model, but the 50MP shooter here is okay for everyday snaps. Just avoid low light, and try and keep your subject still!

Battery life is brilliant, while the rest of the specs also impress. Media fans in particular will love the AMOLED display, plus the headphone jack and stereo speaker setup.
