Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 2021 Overview
Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 2021 - stock balance?
Restarting successful models is a rare phenomenon in today's smartphone market. Usually companies with incredibly popular phones in the past allow themselves such a luxury. However, another situation is also possible. For example, a corporation has a lot of unused components in warehouses that they do not want to dispose of at all. This is how devices like the hero of today's review are born.
It is not surprising that the design of the new item does not differ at all from that of its predecessor. Some aspects of the exterior have already become outdated (the large bottom frame of the screen, the form factor of a 13-megapixel selfie camera, a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel), while the design of four photo modules and tempered glass of the case still give an Android smartphone a chance to look more or less worthy against the background of opponents. The 6.3-inchOGS screen has undergone minor but very nice tweaks. If the brightness and contrast indicators are the same, as well as the FullHD + resolution, the refresh rate of 120hertz gives an increased smoothness of the Android 11 interface ( MIUI proprietary shell) and not the most resource-intensive applications.
In demanding games, it is impossible to notice the innovation due to the performance of the technical characteristics. Of course, for the middle price segment, the Mediatek HelioG85 processor, 4GB ofRAM and the Mali G52MC2 video core are still relevant today, but projects like Fortnite and Genshin Impact produce modest and barely playable 20-25 frames per second with minimal graphics presets. But the CPU is not characterized by critical heating, and its energy efficiency is quite good. A 4000mAh battery, which is standard by today's standards, guarantees about a day and a half without the need to recharge. The internal storage capacity of 64 / 128GB is supplemented with microSD cards , so the memory should be enough for most buyers.
The photographic capabilities were dispensed with without modification. The familiar four cameras are still topped by the 48-megapixel Samsung GM1. Daytime photos are not deprived of detail and correct color reproduction, but Google Camera can help in capturing successful evening shots. With it, the amount of noise is noticeably reduced, small objects are not smeared so much. The impression of the technological part of the gadget is improved by the infrared port for controlling household appliances, contactless NFC payments. But the plastic edging of the phablet and intrusive advertising in the software, on the contrary, bring a little bit of negativity. However, such shortcomings, coupled with flaws in appearance, are not able to diminish the attractiveness of inexpensive and functional classics.
