Of the three in the Redmi Note 11 series, we'll start with the weakest link, the plain NFC version. Low on memory, low on storage and low on power, but with a good screen and a well put together MIUI. For me, the Redmi Note 11 has been a positive disappointment over the past few weeks.

Opinion
As I explained at some length in the video, there are no problems at all with this phone, it's a pleasant positive disappointment. For 79.990 Ft you don't want anything better! Bottom of the mid-range, that's what everyone should consider it. It's not outstanding in anything, although apart from the battery, it can easily last 3-4 hours a day with SOT time for two days. This is a completely average usage, daily Facebook, Messenger, YouTube, Telegram, Gmail, TikTok usage. About 1 hour of phone, SMS and of course some gaming, Waze navigation and Spotify music.
Sure, the SD680 is no powerhouse, but it can handle the day-to-day tasks, it can handle simple games, but it does all that a bit slower than the better phones. The camera is pretty mediocre, neither good nor bad, kind of average. In daylight and good light it's all patent, but at night there is some noise and not to mention the processing time.
But if you want a cheap but great phone that you can use for 2 days, this is the one for you!
