Xiaomi Redmi K11 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi K11 - renaming for additional sales

The next generation of the main line of flagship smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi has caused a serious stir among Android users, even if the new model is not ideal for the asking price tag. And while the number 11 is heard by the audience, the well-known developer decided to roll back the K-series of phones of its sub-brand Redmi somewhat. Will such changes affect the popularity of the hero of today's review?

The design of the novelty is extremely good. The updated block of four cameras looks even more beautiful than that of the Mi11, the body is made of glass and metal, the 6.81-inch screen is really without frames, it also pleases with a 20 megapixel selfie camera and a sub-display fingerprint sensor. The AMOLED panel received a smaller but still decent resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. Updating the reproduced picture at 90 Hz and the absence of an unpleasant PWM effect for the eyes are pleasant additions to the listed advantages of the AMOLED display.

The specs won't upset most gamers. Of course, demanding games are better optimized for solutions from Qualcomm, but today the Mediatek Dimensity 1000 processor , 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G77MP9 graphics adapter are enough for extreme graphics settings in resource-intensive projects. At the same time, the chip does not suffer from excessive overheating, throttling is small. The energy efficiency of the CPU isn't frustrating either. The 4500 mAh battery provides about one and a half or even two days of work with the phablet. At the same time, the 33W fast charging function is not forgotten.

The photographic capabilities of the device meet the standards of the mid-value segment, although the gadget is partially positioned as a flagship killer. There are no optical stabilization and telephoto lenses, a quartet of cameras led by a 64MP Sony IMX 686 photosensor with not the most outstanding optics. As a result, daytime photos turn out to be perfect in detail and color rendering, but evening shots are no longer deprived of noise. A pair of loud multimedia speakers, contactless NFC payments and a well-developed, though not devoid of advertising messages, proprietary MIUI shell will be other reasons to consider buying a wonderful device. Of course, this is not a revolutionary product, but quite a solid continuation of the popular series.
