Having read the aforementioned information, I arrived at a mature decision by buying Note 10 pro! The processor along with performance is a lot better than that note 11 pro!

I bought the note 10 pro because it was on sale in the shop I went to, I wanted the 11 Pro, but after seeing this, I am so glad I have the better device! The note 10 pro is such a solid device, especially for the price I paid for it, it was sold for 359, but on sale, I got it for 170€, which is a pretty big price cut! And it was the last day so man I got lucky!

It's painful that I bought the Xiaomi 11pro before knowing this vital information. Think I will go and swap the 11pro for 10 Pro.

I'm looking at note 10 pro. It's even more beautiful. It makes my note 6 pro ridiculous.

So, newer is not always better. I will definitely not upgrade, 10 pro is great value for money. Especially now.

I think I will stick with the older redmi note 10 pro since the 11 pro is worse in performance while being more expensive.

Based on the above description Redmi note 10 pro is better than note 11 pro, therefore what is the rationale behind this? Because someone like me always upgrades to the newest version for better performance but based on the aforementioned reasons there's no need at all.
