I am using rn5pro and both note11 and note10 and i think both of this note11 and note 10 camera's are shitty comparing with old note5pro also performance wise miui 11 android 9 note 5pro is performing better than these two new phones with miui12 android 11. Also miui 12 has more bugs than miui11. Only better aspect is display and stereo speakers i think xiaomi must work harder with their midrange phones.Especially the software and camera side.

I must say the performance is a bit of equal for both of these, the upgrade RN11 have is the battery life and design (feel free to add more) and the downgrade is the camera and performance by little (also feel free to add more) I really hope future optimization can do RN11's performance and camera justice cause I really don't think it deserves to be below RN10 🗿 I'm still a new RN11 user so feel free to add more upgrades and downgrades if you want, I'm satisfied with this phone so far.

Everything is better, but why downgrade SAMOLED to IPS LCD & PPI as well. RIP Always On Display with 90Hz RF rate :(.
