Xiaomi Redmi Note 11s

In the entry-level class, Samsung's Galaxy A15 5G offers the better package with solid update prospects and fast wireless connectivity.

Class warfare: entry-level devices push down the price, mid-range devices want to be an alternative to expensive ones, and high-end models outperform the already strong flagships. Of course, you can't tell how good a smartphone is by its price. The test also shows that. Devices over 1,000 euros like the iPhone 14 are not necessarily better than those under 1,000 euros like the Google Pixel 7 Pro...

The Redmi Note 11S is what the Redmi Note 11 should be: not as slow and equipped with a little more photo talent. The other qualities, such as a great display, pleasant matte feel and great battery life, are also available in the Note 11.

Making phone calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life is hardly conceivable without a smartphone. It is therefore all the more important to be able to rely on the devices. The Stiftung Warentest smartphone test answers the question of which model is the test winner and which ones lack stability or basic functions...

With its high-contrast OLED display, robust workmanship and high-quality camera system at an affordable price, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S reaches the winner's podium in this duel.
