Realme 11 Pro+ v/s 10 Pro+: Similar, yet different
What's the story
Realme's numbered-series smartphones are quite popular in India's mid-range market. Hence, the brand treats its customers with the next-generation models every six months.
Following the launch of Realme 10 Pro+ last year, we're about to witness the arrival of its successor, the Realme 11 Pro+.
Both smartphones bear some similarities as well as differences. Here's a quick comparison between them.
Design
The Realme 11 Pro+ has more premium looks
The Realme 11 Pro+ and 10 Pro+ sport a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out and thin bezels. Both devices have an in-display fingerprint scanner.
As opposed to the plastic back and dual cut-outs on the 10 Pro+, the 11 Pro+ has a raised circular camera island, and a plastic or 'lychee leather' back panel with a lace-like strip running from top to bottom.
Display
Both handsets flaunt a curved display
The Realme 11 Pro+ and 10 Pro+ have a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2412 pixels) 10-bit AMOLED panel, featuring up to 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, 2,160Hz PWM dimming, HDR10+, 100% DCI-P3, and 93.65% screen-to-body ratio.
The 11 Pro+ is brighter (950-nits v/s 800-nits) than the 10 Pro+.
However, 10 Pro+ is slimmer (7.78mm v/s 8.2mm) and lighter (172.5g v/s 183g) than 11 Pro+.

The main shooter is accompanied by an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide and 2MP (f/2.4) macro snappers, on both.
For selfies, the 11 Pro+ has a 32MP (f/2.45) camera, whereas the 10 Pro+ settles for a 16MP (f/2.45) shooter.
Internals
The devices draw fuel from a 5,000mAh battery
The Realme 11 Pro+ and 10 Pro+ are powered by Dimensity 7050 and Dimensity 1080 chipsets respectively, which deliver a nearly similar performance.
The smartphones boot Android 13 with Realme UI 4.0 on top.
