With most devices across brands looking the same, this was what realme has been trying to prove on their newest realme 11 Pro + 5G.

What’s in the Box?
Being one avid realme smartphone user for years, opening this box made me feel elated. The realme 11 Pro+ 5G greets us with a sleek black and yellow box, adorned with black lettering and its signature brand’s slogan, “Dare to Leap”. Inside the box, we will see the realme 11 Pro+ 5G unit itself. Alongside the documentation, there is a sim ejector pin, ensuring convenience for the user. Also, a 100W charging adapter, a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and a transparent silicone case are included in the box.
Our First Impressions
An impressive visual charm is what the Realme 11 Pro+ 5G showcased on its curved screen which was accompanied by a protective scratch guard for the display. The overall phone design is undeniably stunning as it is made from Premium Vegan Leather co-created with former Gucci Prints and Textile Designer Matteo Menoto (Former Gucci Prints Designer). The combination of the camera module, leather finish, and clean lines results in a device that’s aesthetically pleasing. Its premium appearance becomes immediately evident as you hold it, giving the impression of a high-end phone. Carrying it around is sure to catch people’s attention.
Additionally, there’s an alternative color choice available with a similar finish, presented in Oasis Green, while the one I possess features a delightful Sunrise Beige variant. Personally, I find the beige version particularly appealing. Furthermore, the phone’s in-hand experience is exceptional—offering a satisfying and comfortable grip, making the act of holding this phone genuinely delightful.
As I am one among those who love to do camera photography, taking pictures on smartphones is indeed my top consideration in purchasing one. With this, the star of the show, its 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera has brought me great hype as I have enjoyed using it for a couple of days. Creating video content for my social media posting would be really great with this as it is also capable of producing impressive outputs in video recordings. We will have a deep dive into these features in our full review.
It also boasts a 6.7”, 61° Precision Curved FHD+ Resolution, OLED Display with 120Hz, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s happy to know that smartphones like the realme 11 Pro+ 5G have included eye care which is really helpful for people like me who has visual problems.
It was a wonderful experience of sharing with you these truly appealing and undeniably incredible features that the realme 11Pro+ 5G offers to us. For someone like me who needs a great daily driver for storage and files, this one is a good catch, especially for those tech and gaming enthusiasts. The unit we got hold of is packed with 12GB of RAM with up to 12GB additional RAM (total of 24GB) expansion and a 512GB massive storage capacity.
The realme 11 Pro+ 5G is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 100W charging. Thus, charging it quickly will be at your utmost convenience when you are in a hurry for work or errands.
After using the realme 11 Pro+ 5G for over a week, I was impressed by its captivating and luxurious design, along with its overall in-hand comfortable feel and massive storage space.
