Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Global Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Global - trampling in the same place

The Chinese company Xiaomi decided this year to break all records in terms of the number of released models. January has not passed, and we have already received almost a dozen smartphones from the Redmi sub-brand. The hero of today's review is the actual flagship of the Note-line for Europe and the CIS, but it seems that in pursuit of quantity, the well-known manufacturer has forgotten about the quality and the need to improve its products.

Claims to the gadget can begin with an analysis of its design. Not all buyers will like the wide lower frame of the display and the massive block of cameras, but the same words cannot be said about the interesting colors of the cases, flat side faces with a fingerprint scanner located on one of them. The back panel is made of tempered glass, but the metal edging was left for expensive devices. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen is no problem. FullHD + resolution, the flagship 120Hz refresh rate, excellent brightness for the price range and the oleophobic protective film coating are rarely found in the opponents of the phablet.

Unfortunately, the changes in terms of technical characteristics are scanty. Although the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 CPU supports 5G networks, it almost does not outperform the previously used 720G / 732G chips in performance. If ordinary users of the processor will be enough for everyday tasks like browsers or instant messengers, then sophisticated gamers will not be able to enjoy gaming novelties even with medium graphic presets. 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 619 video accelerator are of little help in this situation. But the 5000mAh battery is now increasingly showing about 10 hours of active screen time, requiring you to search for outlets every couple of days. We also praise fast charging with a power of 67W (30 minutes to 100% capacity). 64/128GB of ROM may not be enough for a part of the audience, so you can expand them with MicroSD cards in a separate slot.

108-, 8- and 2-megapixel photo modules provide a familiar level of photo opportunities. Daytime photo shoots are excellent for them, which is why the detail and natural color reproduction of frames can be easily confused with that of camera phones. Of course, the illusion evaporates with the advent of evening. Without optical stabilization, getting a clear photo without noise and blur is not easy. In terms of sound, the gadget does not disappoint, because it has both a headphone jack and high-quality stereo speakers . NFC contactless payments, a convenient MIUI shell interface, although not completely free from advertising recommendations, infrared port expand the functionality of the gadget, but are not able to justify self-copying on the part of the developer.
