Redmi Note 11S Review: More Than What Meets The Eye

Redmi has launched three devices under the latest Note 11 series in Nepal. We have already covered Note 11 and Note 11 Pro (4G/5G) in detail, and in this review, I will be talking about the Redmi Note 11S. This phone is the middle ground between the rest of the series, both in terms of price and features. Before we begin our review, let’s take a quick look at the specs sheet of the Redmi Note 11S.

Redmi Note 11S Review:

Design

  • 159.87 x 73.87 x 8.09mm; 179 grams
  • Glass front, Plastic back, Plastic frames
  • IP53 rating

With that out of the way, let’s get this review started, beginning with the design. Like the rest of the series, Note 11S sports a boxy design, characterized by its flat frames and rounded corners. Then you have the two-tier camera bump at the island at the back one, like the one we saw on the Note 11 Pro. 

The Redmi Note 11S resembles its higher-end sister in appearance. But once you hold them in your hands, it is not difficult to tell the difference. Redmi Note 11 Pro feels a lot more premium because of its glass back. 

Although Xiaomi claims that the Redmi Note 11S’s rear is also made of glass, it’s hard to make out from the phone itself. Weighing in at 180 grams, it’s way lighter than the Note 11 Pro and doesn’t quite have the heft of a glass. 

A hammer would be a sure way to test it, but I’m not willing to take such chances. Even if it’s indeed glass, I will say it fails to add to the premiumness of the phone, which I believe is the whole point of having a glass back. 

While the Note 11S may not feel more premium, it is unquestionably more comfortable to hold. It’s lighter, with a gently curved back panel for a better ergonomic grip. Furthermore, the phone is IP53 water resistant with a rubber gasket on the sim tray, which by the way, can hold two SIMs and a microSD card. 

All the keys are on the right and well within reach. The power button even doubles as a fingerprint scanner, which offers a fast and accurate way to unlock the phone. 

Display

  • 6.43-inches FHD+ AMOLED “DotDisplay”
  • 90/180Hz refresh rate/touch sampling rate
  • Gorilla Glass 3 protection

On the front, there’s a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a camera cutout in the middle. The display specifications are quite similar to what we got on its predecessor – Redmi Note 10S. However, Redmi has optimized the colors better on the Note 10S. 

As I recall, consuming multimedia on Note 10S was far from a pleasant experience. The phone would often boost contrast and add artificial details via sharpening during video playback. 

Thankfully, that is not the case with its successor. With the Vivid display mode, I found the colors and contrast to be on point most of the time.  

In addition, you do get Widevine L1 certification, enabling you to stream HD content off Netflix and other streaming platforms. 

Redmi Note 11S Display

Couple that with stereo speakers, you won’t be disappointed with the multimedia experience on this phone. Sure, you should not expect punchy bass with this audio setup, but for the price, you cannot complain much. 

I’m also quite impressed with the phone’s implementation of a 90Hz refresh rate. You won’t experience many micro-stutters when navigating through UI or switching between apps. Everything feels smooth and the phone even dials back to 60Hz whenever it detects static content. 

Battery

  • 5,000mAh battery
  • 33W fast charging (included in the box)

Needless to say, this feature contributes to the overall battery endurance of the phone. In my time reviewing the phone, Redmi Note 11S averaged a day of backup with each full charger.

Redmi Note 11S Charger

I normally use my phone for social media and media consumption with a few casual gaming sessions in between. Even so, the phone would require recharging only at the end of the day. With the 33W charger included in the box, the phone gets from 0 to 100% in a little over an hour.

Performance

  • Octa-core MediaTek Helio G96 (12nm)
  • 4/6GB LPDDR4X RAM, 64/128GB UFS 2.2 storage

Now, let’s talk about the performance. So, if you look at the recent market trend, brands are going for power-efficient chips. In this regard, Snapdragon 680, built on a 6nm process, has almost been a go-to chip in the sub-30K price segment. It even features on Note 11. However, this chip doesn’t impress with its raw performance.

Thus, if you prefer raw performance over power efficiency, you would be better off with Helio G96 that is powering the Note 11S. Not only does this chip boast better raw performance, it is also better optimized for mobile gaming.

Gaming

While playing PUBG: Mobile, you can bump the refresh rate to Ultra with graphics set to Smooth. The game averages 40fps for the most part, except for some dips here and there.

Redmi Note 11 Gaming

Likewise, Redmi Note 11S also supports 90fps mode on Critical Ops. This option is not available on most Snapdragon 680-powered phones as they usually max out at 60 fps.

But since it is a mid-range phone, the cooling setup is not going to woo gamers. Redmi has included layers of graphite and copper as part of its LiquidCool technology, but it fails to keep up with the heat generated from long gaming sessions.  

The phone gets warm around the camera bump and you will notice frequent frame drops. So, if you plan to play games for longer, I recommend dialing down the graphics settings accordingly. 

Day-to-day Usage

  • Android 11 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 on top
  • Virtual proximity sensor

It won’t be an issue if you are a casual gamer like me. The phone can handle all of your day-to-day tasks with ease. You can even switch between apps without much hiccups. However, if you return to an app after leaving it for more than a few minutes it will require a reload. But it is the same with most phones in this segment, so no worries. 

I also like how Xiaomi has improved haptics on its budget and midrange phones over the years. As evident in Note 11S, it no longer feels cheap and is actually better than some of the competition. 

During calls, voices were crystal clear at both ends. However, I found the proximity sensor not working as intended. Turns out, Xiaomi has used a virtual sensor that works based on the phone’s orientation and movement instead of physical proximity. 

It feels weird to me that the company is still using a virtual sensor after all the debacle with the Note 10 Series last year. 

Redmi Note 11S UI

As for software, Redmi Note 11S boots on Android 11, which is a little underwhelming as Android 13 is already around the corner.  There is no sure way to tell when and if it will get any software update. Maybe Xiaomi should take some notes from Samsung in this regard. 

Like the rest of the series, it runs on Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 13, but without any Android 12 features. The bloatware is not as bad on the Note 11S as it used to be with Redmi devices in the past and you can uninstall most of it.

But I would say, the company should offer an option to choose Google Discover instead of App vault to the left of the home screen. I believe many would prefer the former over the latter as I do. 

Camera

  • Quad-camera setup at the back
  • (108MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP depth, 2MP macro)
  • 16MP selfie camera

Anyways, let’s get into the photography side of things. Note 11S is the cheapest phone from Xiaomi to don a 108MP camera. However, it does leave much to be desired when it comes to computational photography as you can find inconsistencies in the photos. 

You could argue that it’s hard to find a good “camera phone” in this price and I kinda agree as well. But again, I compared Note 11 with another 108MP camera phone in Realme 9 and I still found the former lacking in one way or the other. 

Primary

Just look at these photos side by side. I know even Realme 9’s photos are not anything to write home about. However, they are better in most instances. They are more pleasing compared to Note 11S, despite the saturated colors. Most of Note 11S pictures are heavy on contrast and over sharped. 

Portraits

There is no clear winner when it comes to portrait as both phones fail to preserve the natural color tone of the subject. Realme tends to add reddish tint to portraits whereas the subject looks too pale on Note 11S.  

Ultrawide

Ultrawide shots from Note 11S lack dynamic range and look almost lifeless. Realme on the other hand has poppy colors though it is not any better when it comes to details.

Night Mode

Both phones struggle to retain details under low light even with the Night Mode. Even so, Realme 9’s pictures look comparatively better because of saturated colors.

Selfies

As for selfies, both phones are equally terrible, so I would not recommend any of them here.

Videography

Moving on, you can record 1080p 30 fps videos both from the rear and front-facing cameras on the two phones. However, there is not much to talk about video quality and stability.

Redmi Note 11S Review: Conclusion

Honestly, this year has not been that good for the budget segment with brands nerfing their newer models in one aspect or the other. In Note 11S, it’s the Mali G57 GPU which is a step down from Note 10S’ quad-core Mali G76. There is no 4K recording as well. 

However, if you overlook these minor details, Redmi Note 11S is actually a decent mid-range phone for 2022, especially for multimedia consumption. It could have been better with some camera and software optimization.

Still, there are some good alternatives if you have a little room to wiggle in your budget. The first suggestion would be the Note 10 Pro, which is marginally expensive but offer a 120Hz screen, a more premium design, and optimized cameras. 

You can also go with the latest Note 11 Pro 5G (Pro+ 5G in India) if you want 5G connectivity as well. There is also Poco X3 Pro for guys that really don’t care about AMOLED screen and want the best performance possible. 

Redmi Note 11S Review: Pros and Cons 

Pros: 

  • 90Hz AMOLED screen
  • Stereo speakers
  • Decent performance
  • Good endurance

Cons 

  • Stuck on Android 11
  • Average cameras
  • Virtual proximity sensor

Google has once again joined hands with Samsung for next-gen Tensor chip

Last month, Google officially announced the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. As per reports, the Pixel 7 series will be powered by a new Tensor chip. Like its predecessor, the 2nd Gen Google Tensor will be manufactured by Samsung. In this article, we will be discussing everything we know so far about the next-gen Google Tensor chip.

2nd Gen Google Tensor Chip Overview:

The latest news about the 2nd Gen Tensor chip comes from the Korean news outlet Digital Daily. According to their sources, Samsung has already secured orders from Google for the production of the next-gen Tensor chip. To recall, it was Samsung that fabricated the first Tensor chip for the Google Pixel 6 Series.

4nm Process

While the original chip was based on a 5nm process, its successor will be built on top of Samsung’s 4nm process. With the use of a narrower process, the second-gen Google Tensor chip should bring some improvement in power efficiency.

Power efficiency was among the major concerns for Google while designing the Tensor chip. The company even opted for CPU cores based on older ARMv8 architecture for the same.

Google did not go for raw performance but invested heavily in the Machine Learning and AI capability of the chip. It is possible that the 2nd Gen Tensor chip will be heading the same way.

PLP Packaging Technique

Google’s next Tensor chip will make use of PLP packaging technology. As per the report, PLP minimizes discarded edges when cutting chips from silicon wafers. This brings down the cost of each chip while also improving productivity.

Samsung is remarkably close to sealing a deal with Google for manufacturing chips for the latter’s servers. The South Korean foundry is already supplying DRAM and NAND Flash chips to Google, as well as chips for Waymo’s self-autonomous vehicles.

2nd Gen Tensor Chip Mass Production

Mass production of the 2nd Gen Google Tensor chip will start in June, whereas the first phones powered by the chip will be available in October.

LeEco remerges with an iPhone 13-like budget Android phone

Following a brief hiatus because of financial issues, LeEco has finally returned to the smartphone business. The company has just launched LeTV Y1 Pro—its first phone in years. The phone is currently making headlines because of its iPhone 13 resemblance. In this article, we will be discussing the key specs, features, expected price, and availability of the LeTV Y1 Pro in Nepal.

LeTV Y1 Pro Overview:

Design and Display

As mentioned earlier, LeTV Y1 Pro borrows design cues from the more expensive iPhone 13. It sports a boxy design with flat edges and rounded corners. Even the rear camera setup looks almost similar. Over on the front, there is a 6.54-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution. LeEco has even included a “bathtub” notch, usually associated with the iPhones.

LeEco LeTV Y1 Pro measures 9.5mm in thickness and weighs around 208 grams. It is available in blue, black, and white color options.

Letv Y1 Pro Design and Display

Performance and Memory

LeTV Y1 Pro is a lot more underpowered compared to the iPhone 13 that it is trying to imitate. Under the hood, it packs the Unisoc T310 chipset. It’s a quad-core processor built on an older 12nm process.

LeEco has paired the chip with just 4GB of RAM. However, you can choose between 32, 128, and 256GB storage.

Camera

LeEco has advertised its iPhone 13 lookalike as having a dual-camera setup. LeTV Y1 Pro comes with an 8MP primary and a secondary AI lens. The company has not clearly detailed the AI sensor and its function. So, it is not wrong to say that it is there solely for marketing. Upfront, the notch houses a single 5MP selfie shooter.

Letv Y1 Pro Camera

Rest of the specs

LeEco LeTV Y1 Pro packs a 4,000mAh battery, and there is a Type-C port at the bottom for charging. The phone doesn’t support any fast-charging technology but can accept input of up to 10W. There is no fingerprint scanner, so users will have to use software-based face unlock for biometrics. As for software, it boots on Android 11 with Le OS on top.

LeTV Y1 ProSpecifications:

Honor 70 Pro series launched with 10-bit OLED display, 54MP triple rear cameras

After a string of leaks and rumors, Honor has officially unveiled the Honor 70 series in China. It’s the successor to the Honor 60 series from last year and adds a new member to the lineup called the Honor 70 Pro+. In this article, we will look into the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Honor 70 Pro, and 70 Pro+ in Nepal. 

Honor 70 Pro, 70 Pro+ Overview:

Design and Display

Here, the Honor 70 and Honor 70 Pro+ are similar in a lot of aspects, including their design and display. Both come with a 6.78-inch BOE-made OLED screen with QHD+ resolution. 

Honor 70 Pro Design and Display

It’s a 10-bit panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz and is 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming certified, which helps to reduce screen flickering. You also get an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics.

Moving on, the Honor 70 series takes design cues from its predecessor. It keeps the curved edge design and a large pill-shaped camera module on the rear. Likewise, the Mist Stand color of the phone has a diamond cut pattern on the back, whereas the rest of the shades have a matte finish.

Camera

Over on the camera front, the 70 Pro and Pro+ feature a 54MP Sony IMX800 primary lens with a 1/1.49” sensor size. This is Sony’s flagship camera sensor that captures more light for brighter and more detailed pictures, especially in backlit and night scenarios.

Honor 70 Pro Plus Cameras

Accompanying this is a 50MP ultrawide lens and an 8MP telephoto module with 3x optical zoom and OIS. It’s also worth noting that the ultrawide sensor doubles as a macro lens. For selfies, there is a 50MP camera fitted inside a punch-hole cutout. 

Performance

The Honor 70 Pro+ differs from the regular Pro model in one major way, which is the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. On the other hand, the Honor 70 Pro features a Dimensity 8000 SoC instead. Regardless, both mobile silicons can be configured with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. 

Likewise, the handset gets its juice from a 4600mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging. As per Honor, the smartphone is juiced up to 60% in just 15 mins and up to 100% in just 30 minutes. Software-wise, all the smartphones in the Honor 70 series come pre-installed with MagicUI 6.1, which is based on Android 12.

Redmi 11 5G’s specs and pricing revealed ahead of the June launch

Earlier this month, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi 10 in the Nepalese market. Word on the street is that it is now working on its successor. As per reports, Redmi 11 will be a 5G-ready smartphone and will launch as soon as next month. In this article, we will be discussing every detail we know about the upcoming phone from Redmi.

Redmi 11 5G Overview:

If the reports are true, Redmi 11 will be the first phone in the company’s number series to have 5G on board. To note — Redmi had previously announced Redmi 10 5G, but the phone is nowhere to be seen in the market. It could be the case where Xiaomi scrapped the Redmi 10 5G moniker and is now launching it under a new name instead.

Performance and Memory

The phone is said to be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset. The chip is based on a 7nm process and brings two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores along with Mali G57 GPU. 

Redmi will pair the chip with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There will be a dedicated microSD card slot memory expansion as well.

Rest of the Specs

Coming to the display, Redmi 11 5G will sport a 6.58-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Since it will be a budget-conscious device, we expect it to be an LCD screen with sizeable bezels. It also means that the phone will rock a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Fueling the device will be a 5,000mAh battery, and the phone will support charging speeds of up to 18W. It will run boot on Android 11-based MIUI 13.

As for photography, you will get a dual-rear camera setup of 50MP primary and a 2MP auxiliary sensor. There will be a 5MP selfie snapper over on the front.

India is among the first countries where Redmi 11 5G will be available. According to the rumors, it will launch by the end of June. Furthermore, it will cost around INR 13,499 for the 4/64GB variant.

Redmi 11 5G Launch Date (Expected) Price (Expected)
4/64GB June 2022 INR 13,499
