Xiaomi has refreshed its reasonable Redmi Note range with the new Note 11, Note 11 Pro 5G and different models.
All in all, what makes something a Pro gadget at the modest finish of the market? Here is the full Tech Counselor survey.
Design
- Square-edged design
- Side-mounted unique mark sensor
- IP53 rating
It's been some time since I've seen a phone in the reasonable section that had a really satisfying design. Most are entirely functional minor departure from the section of glass and plastic that we know so indeed, however this time around Xiaomi has intrigued with a stylish that resists the gadget's sticker price.
Gone are the gleaming surfaces, bended edges and confused camera knock of the Redmi Note 10 Pro, supplanted rather with a more refined approach.
The made right edges and frame encompass give the Note 11 Pro 5G a comparative shift focus over to the ongoing iPhone 13 territory, while the straightforward plastic back and more coordinated camera cluster safeguard the moderate design.
The front is home to a 6.67in AMOLED board, with a focal poke hole opening for the selfie camera that likewise permits the face open component. On the right side you'll find the volume and power buttons, of which the last option incorporates a unique mark sensor. Over the course of my experience with the Note 11 Pro 5G I found the sensor was truly dependable yet in the event that, similar to me, you're left-given it can require a significant stretch of time to retrain your senses and reach for the phone with your non-prevailing hand.
Twin speakers consume spaces on the top and base edges of the 11 Pro 5G, joined by a 3.5mm headphone attachment and IR blaster on the top edge. Charging is through the USB-C space on the lower edge where you'll likewise track down the half and half SIM/microSD card opening that permits the capacity to be extended by up to 1TB while utilizing a solitary SIM card, or you can depend on the in-fabricated capacity to utilize two SIMs.
The 164.2 x 76.1 x 8.1mm aspects, matched with the squared edges, make the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G an agreeable gadget to hold. Alright, the 202g weight makes it a little weighty, yet it's a fair handset so you don't see it so much.
Xiaomi some way or another likewise incorporates an IP53 residue and sprinkle protection rating, which is noteworthy costing this much. There's likewise a silicon case for added grasp and protection, yet in truth it undermines the vibe of this attractive phone.
Display
- 6.67in AMOLED board
- 120Hz invigorate rate
- Full HD+ goal
To commend the rich styling, Xiaomi presents a 6.67in Full HD+ AMOLED display on the Note 11 Pro 5G. The 2400×1080 goal and 20:9 viewpoint proportion imply that this is a tall phone, so certainly one requires two hands to operate serenely, however that is basically the standard at this point.
The board is extremely great, with a lot of variety and difference, in addition to the choice to switch the revive rate up to 120Hz implies that gamers will partake in the liquid looking over and developments of graphically bustling titles, particularly with the 360Hz touch examining rate that is incorporated. In the event that you're not excessively irritated by things like this, then you can leave the default 60Hz setting on and gain a touch more battery duration all things considered.
Brilliance is OK, with the display arriving at a limit of a little more than 400 nits in ordinary mode with auto-splendor handicapped. The gadget has a High Brilliance mode that is by all accounts set off consequently by the software, and Xiaomi claims this regularly arrives at 700 nits and tops out at a quite wild 1200 nits. Regardless, I experienced no problems utilizing the Note 11 Pro when I was all over town.
Xiaomi likewise incorporates a helpful Perusing Mode highlight in its software, which you can flip on and off from the Settings menu. This cools the variety temperature of the display, making it a little simpler on the eyes while you're taking a gander at long articles or perusing a digital book.
Specs
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G
- Up to 8GB Slam
- 128GB of stockpiling (expandable by up to 1TB)
Fueling every one of the features in the Note 11 Pro is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor, which is a good lower mid-range chip that is likewise utilized on the (comparatively specced) Poco X4 Pro and Realme 9 Pro, and is supposed to show up in the OnePlus Nord N20.
This is helped on my survey unit by 8GB of LPDDR4X Smash and 128GB of UFS 2.2 inward stockpiling (which can be additionally expanded by up to 1TB through a microSD card). Different arrangements additionally accessible are 6GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB, with commensurate drops in cost.
Overall utilize the exhibition is pleasingly effective. Applications open and run rapidly, exploring the menus and different screens is smart, and I never truly felt the slack that occasionally shows up in additional reasonable gadgets.
Cameras
- 108Mp f/1.9 principal camera
- 8Mp f/2.2 ultrawide
- 2Mp f/2.4 large scale
A three camera exhibit is perfectly organized in the upper left corner of the back board, with the super 108Mp f/1.9 shooter investing heavily of spot. This is joined by a 8Mp f/2.2 ultrawide and 2Mp f/2.4 large scale to offer a fair assortment of photography choices for a gadget in this cost section.
However, results are something of a hodgepodge. There's no question that you can catch a few truly wonderful pictures on this phone, with a lot of detail, variety and difference. Involving the principal camera in brilliant circumstances conveyed truly adequate scene shots that didn't victory the highs and figured out how to show the sky and mists in the entirety of their magnificence. Tap the 2x zoom choice and unexpectedly there's a considerable amount of commotion in the edge, which makes it something you'd possibly utilize when there could be no different choices accessible.
Video film finishes out at 1080p/30fps, which is a stage down from the 4K capacities of its ancestor the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Film is fine, however there doesn't appear to be an especially viable adjustment, as strolling around the nursery produced an unobtrusive knock brought about by each stride. The 16Mp f/2.4 selfie camera returns sufficient outcomes and can match the front camera for video quality, however it doesn't actually sparkle.
Software
- MIUI 13
- Android 11
- A lot of Customisation Features
Xiaomi's MIUI 13 sits on top of Android 11 in the Note 11 Pro. A vivid and lively connection point generally is good to utilize. There are various customisation choices that permit you to fit the experience more as you would prefer, like a side bar (a la Samsung), drifting windows and a light mode that improves on all that and uses bigger text and symbols for the people who could battle with a bustling point of interaction.
That's what one significant disadvantage is, as referenced, the Note 11 Pro 5G boats with Android 11 - as opposed to the later Android 12, which is now accessible on other Xiaomi phones. This is especially unsettling as Redmi gadgets commonly just get two Android refreshes, meaning this phone will probably be refreshed to Android 13 - due in the not so distant future - yet will not get any further software support, other than security patches, past that.
Battery Life
- 5000mAh battery
- 67W charger
- half charge quickly
A 5000mAh battery possesses the majority of the Note 11 Pro's innards, and makes a fine showing of providing capacity to the gadget. Over the course of my time testing it, I consistently headed to sleep with a lot of charge actually left in the tank, even with weighty use. Changing to the 120Hz revive rate clearly has a negative impact to the life span of the battery duration, however that being said it actually came to late night on the off chance that I didn't invest an excess of energy gaming.
Xiaomi remembers a 67W charger for the case (take that, Apple), which returns the unit to full power in something like 45 minutes, yet in the event that you need a speedy sprinkle and run, you can get to half from a little more than 15 minutes of charging.
