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

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ - maximum return with minimum investment

The Chinese company Xiaomi has largely gained its popularity thanks to the line of excellent phablets of the Redmi series, which already belongs to a separate sub-brand. Recently, however, several generations of devices have not differed much, which, although it had little effect on the still excellent sales, made a number of brand fans think about buying smartphones from competitors. But it seems that the world-famous corporation has decided to change the situation and demonstrate a strong progress in technical characteristics in the hero of today's review.

The attractive appearance of the novelty is hard to deny. A redesigned glass back, even thinner display bezels, and a nearly invisible 16MP selfie camera lens help you enjoy the outdoors. The side fingerprint sensor is also quite ergonomic, it's a pity that the edging itself is made of polycarbonate to reduce the cost of the gadget. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has not undergone any noticeable changes, but they were not necessary. A good margin of brightness, a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels that is optimal for the diagonal and an image refresh rate of 120 hertz will be relevant for a couple of years.

The power of the Mediatek Dimensity 920 CPU significantly exceeds that of the previously used Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. Now the buyer can count on comfortable gameplay even in Genshin Impact with medium-high graphics presets. At the same time, the chipset, together with 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G68 MC4 video adapter, also demonstrates enviable energy efficiency. As a result, a 4500mAh battery often gives out more than 10 hours of active screen time, and its other competitive advantage will be incredible fast charging at 120W . The stay at the outlet is reduced to an unprecedented 20 minutes. Of course, a modern Android smartphone of the middle price segment is not without 128 / 256GB of ROM , the slot for MicroSD cards is also preserved.

The device boasts 108-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules led by the popular Samsung HM2 sensor, but photo capabilities are slightly artificially limited due to the lack of optical stabilization and inexpensive lenses. By separating the gadget from the photo flags in this way, the manufacturer still did not upset the fans of mobile photography. Most of the picture comes out detailed and saturated, frank blurring is obtained only in very poor lighting, and even then not all filmed material. The stereo sound , created in cooperation with JBL, is characterized by loudness and balance, from other advantages we will single out contactless NFC payment, support for 5G networks, and an infrared port . But the MIUI shell is able to both like the functionality and disappoint with advertising, albeit disabled. Thus, a device consisting in fact of only one merits at its reasonable price will win the hearts of millions of users.
