realme 11 Pro 5G Unboxing and First Impression
Following the successful launch of the realme 10 Pro Series last February, realme Philippines is once again disrupting the midrange segment with its latest additions to the bestselling realme Number Series - the realme 11 Pro+ 5G and realme 11 Pro 5G.
Both models bear the master design of an Italian artist. They also feature a flagship-level camera with Zoom Technology that can capture sharper images than normal digital zooms and a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
I was able to get my hands on the latter, and I am very excited to share with you my unboxing experience and initial impression of the device. So, let's start with the unboxing.
Unboxing the realme 11 Pro 5G
As expected, the packaging comes in realme's signature yellow-colored box. The front portion indicates the realme 11 Pro branding; the brand details—model number, IMEI number, serial number, color, and the four important features of the realme 11 Pro 5G are imprinted on the back portion of the box.
You can also find the realme 11 Pro 5G print on the left and the realme logo on the right.
Inside the Box and Accessories
After opening the lid of the box, the pack contained a SIM card ejector tool, a protective silicone case, a quick start guide, and important product information (including the Warranty Card).
Underneath the pack is the realme 11 Pro 5G smartphone wrapped in white matte plastic. Beneath is the 67W SUPERVOOC charger and USB type-C to USB-A charging cable. realme 11 Pro 5G doesn’t come with headphones – you still have to provide your own.
After unboxing, let us now take a look at the physical overview and my first impression of the device.
Design and Walk Around
Similar to its predecessors in the entire Number Series lineup, the realme 11 Pro 5G sports a stylish design which is a head-turner.
The realme 11 Pro 5G comes in a Premium Vegan Leather Design that was designed in collaboration with Matteo Menotto, a former Gucci Prints Designer and Bulgari’s Head of Design for Prints. The design evokes the feeling of holding a luxury item in the palm of your hand.
The realme 11 Pro 5G comes in three colors - the neutral Sunrise Beige and Oasis Green, and the third color variant is Astral Black.
In addition to its design, the realme 11 Pro 5 G has a polycarbonate body and frame. The Sunrise Beige variant of my phone weighs 191g and is 8.7mm thick.
On the front, the realme 11 Pro 5G has a 6.7-inch FHD+ (2412 x 1080) AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and comes with a pre-installed screen protector.
The display is curved, with the front panel bending towards the frame, and according to realme, it comes with double-reinforced glass for added durability. Additionally, there's a centered 16MP camera on the top, and the earpiece is quite thin and discretely etched above the display.
Found at the back is the large protruding camera module that houses a dual-camera set-up along with a single LED flash. The two cameras are the 100MP main and the 2MP depth.
Found on the right side are your standard volume rocker button and power button.
The top is clean with the secondary noise-canceling microphone and speaker grille present.
At the bottom, you can find the USB Type-C charging port, downward-firing speaker, primary microphone, and dual-SIM tray.
