Samsung recently launched the Galaxy F23 5G for the Indian market. Earlier in February, Xiaomi laughed the Redmi Note 11S in India with a 4G processor. Now, both the smartphones fall in the same range; thus, which one is better. In my take, the 4G phone, which is the Redmi Note 11S – is a better option for budget consumers, while if you have a slightly free budget and want a better display, the Galaxy F23 5G makes for the better option. Here’s an overall comparison between the price and the specification of the devices. Take a look.

The Redmi Note 11S comes with a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with support for 90Hz refresh rate. Thus, the display specifications of both smartphones are pretty good only.
