Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S

If you're new here, let me just give you a brief. We'll start by focusing on different aspects of the phone where the design display, camera performance, battery life, and basically then the Vertex. So let's just kick things off by starting with the design here. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S feels very comfortable at hand thanks to its matte finish and slight curves on both sides of the rear edge, which makes it feel very grippy. The phone also scores well in 100 usages as well.
predecessor, and thanks to all of that, the company has this distinct quality of creating phones that are sleek and minimal to look at and have a better in-hand feel. Now, the phone is available in three color options, namely Polar White, Horizon Blue, and Space Black. And as you can see, we have the black color variant with us. However, we had the Note 11 in the blue color variant, so like I said, you can check out that review as well if you want to see how the blue finish of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S would look like, because technically speaking, they are both having basically the same body. Speaking of the body, there's nothing flashy on the back panel apart from the camera housing on the top.


Now, due to this camera module, the phone does wobble from the top side when used on flat surfaces, but despite that in hand, the phone does not feel top heavy despite weighing in at 179 grams. In fact, the weight distribution on this is very good considering the fact that this packs in a 5000 MH battery. You also get IP 53 protection against dust and water splashes. Now, in terms of connectivity, you have a three-five headphone Jack with support for high res audio, an IR blaster that Xiaomi is known for, a USB C Port for charging at the bottom, and a stereo speaker which basically uses the Earth Peace for the left or right sound depending on how you hold it. The power button also houses the fingerprint scanner, and in my testing, it works flawlessly. So yeah, all in all, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S has a body that's similar to the Redmi Note 11, which is basically a minimal form factor that feels very good in the hand. And yeah, it's a very practical design. Next up we have the display, which is the same once again as the Redmi Note 11. You have a 643 inch full LG plus 90 Hz AMOLED panel with 180 Hz truck sampling rate. You have a peak brightness of thousand nits, and it's quite good for outdoor usage too.

Now it comes with Coining Gorilla Glass Three protection for the display, and there's also support for wider and LVN on this, so pointing consumption on this is amazing. Speaking of which, the dual speakers that I mentioned previously have a good audio output here, which works very well. Unfortunately, there is no support for HDR here, which is a bummer for me personally, but I doubt many folks will find that as a gun, so it is what it is. All right, so moving along, let's talk about this camera setup right here. On paper, you have 108 MP primary shooter with an eight MP right sensor and a pair of two MP macro and depth sensors.
Upfront, you get a 16 MP selfie shooter. Now, similar to the vanilla Redmi Note 11, I am once again disappointed here that Xiaomi did not give us those five MP macro sensors that they are known for. I mean, these two MP sensors are basically pointless. They don't do anything. So yeah, might as well just remove those sensors anywhere onto the actual camera performance in daylight. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S turns out great shots with good detail and tries to deliver good dynamic range on most of its shots. In some cases, there are some imperfections in some texture shots if you take a closer look, and on the whole, they are still pretty good. The phone also comes with 108 MP mode, which basically lets you capture more details if you are interested in that kind of photography, but be ready for the processing times here. As far as human shots are concerned, they're good and the skin tones are realistic too. The detection in portrait mode works very well too.

In terms of selfies, the images are good for the most part, however, you can notice some overshadowing here and there. Now for low light shots, there is some noise in the shots, but the overall results are definitely good. The highlights are balanced, and while the low light performance here is nothing to boast about, it's still better than most forms in the segment. As for videos to, the overall performance is decent, except for the fact that the Note Ten Awns can only record at ten to be 30 FPS. There is not even an option for 60 FPS here.

As always, if you don't agree with our analysis of the camera shots, you can directly download them from the download link mentioned in the description box to just check them out for yourself and analyze those shots for yourself. All right, now let's talk about the performance again. The media take Helio G 96 Pros coupled with LPDDR four X RAM and UFS Two two storage and also benchmarks, the Note 11 has performed really well. The device does feel a bit warm to the touch when stress testing it, but nothing out of the ordinary. As for gaming, BGMI runs as smoothness Ultra or HD plus high settings. The gameplay is good, to be honest, although you will experience tattoos when gaming for a while. Now, just to give you an idea of the thermal throttling here and the CPU throttle test for 15 minutes, the device throttled to 67% of its peak performance. So there's that. But then again, keep in mind that that is when you're pushing the device to the limit for day-to-day tasks. And even if you're using the phone for gaming for an hour or so, the phone's performance is pretty good and you won't really have much to complain there.



Now, one thing that I would like to stress on is the software part here. You see, while the OS is optimized and you do get Mi 38 out of the box, it is still based on Android 11. Now, just to give you a reminder, Android 12 was officially launched on October 4. It's been five months since the official launch of Android 12, so I think it's high time when manufacturers start shipping devices with Android 12 out of the box. I mean, I like the fact that you get all of the features of MIUI 13, but you do not get the Privacy enhancements and the overall security updates of Android 12 that a phone should come with.And the reason I'm stressing on that is that Xiaomi is the market leader in this segment. I mean, as an individual brand, if you divide BBK into their segment path, then yes, Xiaomi is the market leader. And as a leader, you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. Xiaomi needs to step up their game and introduce all of their phones with Android 12 and also roll out the Android 12 update for this device as soon as possible. All right.
So lastly, there's the battery life. You get a 5000 amp battery with a 33 Watt charger inside the box. Now, as far as battery backup is concerned, the phone easily gets by one to one and a half days of medium usage, and you can even push it to two days of usage if you want to. Now, as far as charging is concerned, you can use it from zero to 100 in a little over an hour, which once again is pretty good. This basically brings us to the big question, is the Redmi Note 11s is good?
Absolutely. I mean, sure, there are a few nitpicks here. Could the screen have been 120 Hz? Could we have had a five MP macro sensor? Could we have had support for five GPM maybe? 
But even without them the Note 11S offers a great user experience that's stable, works very well and is quite reliable. The only cloud that harvests over the Redmi Note 11 is the price factor. The phone comes at the starting price tag of 16,500 for the 6 plus 64 GB variant which as you would expect is almost never available which basically makes the starting price tag of this phone had to be 17, 500 for the 6 plus 120 HP variant. Now at that price point, the phone faces heavy competition from the likes of the real Me Nine Pro and the mode of G 71 both of which are powered by the comparatively powerful Snapdragon 695 processors and also 5G devices. There's also the Redmi Note Ten Pro at that price provided you can get stock for the
So yeah, at the end of the day the Note 11S is a great device but isn't the best On price in BD is 22,990 Taka.
