Performance
Operating System: Android 11
CPU: 2.05Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Internal Storage: 128GB

A 2.05Ghz Octa-core processor powers the Infinix Note 11 Pro alongside 8GB RAM that can be extended by 3GB of virtual RAM with one click. You can read more about the Note 11 Pro’s RAM Extension here.
The device is run by MediaTek’s Helio G96 chipset, an upgrade from its predecessor’s Helio G95. The GPU, however, was downgraded from a Mali-G76 MC4 to G57 MC2. Then again, the G95 wouldn’t have been able to drive the 1080p displays at 120Hz (and clearly the G96 can).

The Note 11 Pro is considered a gaming phone and like other gaming phones, it comes equipped with what Infinix calls Monster Game Kit, which is an integration of various gaming systems that redefines the whole experience.
Additionally, we have Infinix’s Dar-link 2.0 Ultimate Game booster that optimizes battery and memory coupled up with a linear motor that simulates more complex vibrations enabling you to get a more interactive life-like gaming experience.
And last but not least, we have a special feature Infinix calls Insync application. The application allows users to wirelessly project their content from the smartphone to external displays such as TVs and laptops. This not only enables users to adapt to the modern lifestyle, but also offers a thrilling game experience since the larger screens bring a wider point of view.
Lastly, the smartphone comes with 128GB of internal memory and a micro-SD card slot to expand storage at your will and runs Android 11 out of the box.
Display
Display Size: 6.95-inches
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 1080 x 2460 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 387 ppi
The Infinix Note 11 Pro boasts a 6.95-inch IPS LCD display-this is more of a small tablet than a large phone. The size may be similar to the Note 10 however, for this generation, the refresh rate has been cranked up from 90Hz to 120Hz.
That way, you get a smoother scrolling experience while navigating menus. The touch sampling rate remains at 180Hz.
Design
Dimensions: 173.1 x 78.4 x 8.7 mm
The Infinix Note 11 Pro is quite the looker. Its slim compact unibody design makes it easy to hold while guaranteeing a second glance from people around.
On the rear, the camera setup design looks a bit similar to Infinix’s flagship, the Zero X, with the main camera on top and the other auxiliary lenses at the bottom. Plus, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor adds a gorgeous curved design to it whilst unlocking the smartphone faster.
Camera
Rear Camera: 64+13+2MP
Front Camera: 16MP
LED Flash: Yes
The Infinix Note 11 Pro comes with a rear triple camera setup that includes a 64MP main lens, a 13MP telephoto lens, and a 2MP depth lens that substituted an 8MP ultra-wide camera.
While it advertises 30x maximum zoom (digital, of course), the actual optical magnification is 2x. Upfront, we have a 16MP selfie camera for selfies and video calls.
Battery
Battery Capacity: Li-Po 5000mAh
A Li-Po 5000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging keeps the lights on the Infinix Note 11 Pro. This should last a day or two, especially on moderate usage.
