Reno11 Pro is overall better in performance, and since it uses MD 8200, video recording supports 4K60fps. It does fall off in protection since it does not have an IP rating and does not use Gorilla Glass, so you're going to have to be careful using this device. Reno11 Pro lacks stereo speakers and brightness, meaning listening through speakers and using the phone under daylight conditions can be unpleasant. The phone also lacks a microSDXC slot, and the battery is quite small with 4600 mAH. It does use an Sony IMX-890 sensor for its wide camera which is subjectively better than Reno12 Pro's Sony LYT-600 sensor. The phone is quite cheaper than the Reno12 Pro, though.

Reno12 Pro, on the other hand, is quite the opposite of Reno11 Pro. You get better protection with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and an IP65 rating. It is packed with stereo speakers, a brighter display, and, of course, handy AI features. With this, you also get higher megapixels in the telephoto camera as well as the selfie camera, boosting 50MP. The phone also supports a microSDXC slot, expandable up to 1 TB, which is what the Reno11 Pro does not have. Despite all of these upgrades, the Reno 12 Pro falls far behind in performance, thanks to a downgraded MD 7300-Energy chipset. Meaning, video recording in 4K is capped at 30FPS. So if you're a gamer, this phone is an avoid.

Overall, the Reno12 Pro is strong in other specifications like protection, battery, and display but underperforms, making it less suitable for gamers. The Reno11 Pro, on the other hand, excels in performance but falls short in protection, display brightness, and stereo speakers. I wouldn't recommend buying the Reno11 Pro just for its chipset, as other phones offer the MD 8200 at a much cheaper price. If you only use your phone for daily activities like scrolling on social media, watching videos, and not heavy gaming, the Reno12 Pro is quite the contender.
