hi guys Chris here back with the redmi note 7 now i'm just gonna update you on
a couple of things that i couldn't do in my review and that is the battery life
and charge times so I have fully charged it with the 5 volt 2 amp charger that
they give you in the box it takes 2 hours and 9 minutes to fully charge and
that was from about 2 to 3 percent better that's all I had because when I
did my battery test as I'll show you now that's the result I got so just go over
to my screenshot here bring that up and unfortunately I couldn't get the app
stats because it powered off it was at 2% and I called it just in time because
I was running YouTube and I was doing other things so you can see that I got
almost eight hours of on screen time and it went all the way down to 2% now this
was mostly on data I'd say a good 60% on data so I was a little bit more heavier
on it than my typical battery test but the display was calibrated to 200 Lux so
I feel better life it is good it's as good as the redmi note 5 the redmi note
6 very good you're gonna get two days at least and I think even up to 10 hours of
on screen time if you're on wireless that is so I had a few other questions
that popped up there were a lot of questions yes about the camera yeah if
you go over to the pro mode you do have this option right here you can see at
the top so that's 48 megapixels but what didn't come out correct in the end is
that when you press this if it works that it's not an actual proper 48
megapixel shot its interpolated and what that means is that it's not actually the
proper resolution the proper readout from the sensor that it's giving you if
you have a look into the information on the since I think it's the GM one
correct me if I'm wrong there I think that's the Samsung sensor just off the
top of my head here at the moment it's not going to give you the readout like
the Sony like the 48 megapixel Sony one can give you a proper fully 8 megapixel
shot so that's probably the one to go for if you want the 48 megapixels and
I've done a side-by-side comparison oh if you see my Twitter in low-light and I
can see no real difference there whatsoever when you take a photo and 48
megapixels and then 12 you don't really see much of a difference now remember
this chipset the snapdragon 660 the isp which is the image signal process is not
meant to be able to hand or 48 megapixels but if we get one of those
newer Qualcomm chips then and that will make a big difference
that Sony sense that when we get to read me a note Pro now I want to update you
on the the lag that I'm seeing sometimes it's not like a proper lag it's not
bogging down and completely coming to a halt it says full screen justice if you
go into the other normal men your kids at the bottom you won't see this but
full screen justice does it's very small micro stutters in the animation but it
is almost gone completely it has been a problem since then me eight even before
that when they brought in the full screen just as especially I nine it was
really bad so well the performance is very good I've had a lot of questions
about notifications as well you can see I've got some sort of notifications here
whatsapp notifications - coming through I did have a problem with the whatsapp
and the Twitter not coming through I have to open the app first and then the
notifications come through and even though I have in settings I've pretty
much given them all the permissions you go into the permissions here auto starts
and an important one as well so make sure you've got whatsapp selected and
Google Play and all that and what I was having is still problems even though
I've got permissions I think I gave what's that pretty much everything here
like I do with most Chinese mobile phones on the global version you're not
going to have this problem but I just noticed that they still don't seem to be
pulling through a property I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I went
into the Twitter app then it started to show up that I hate had 8 you can see
there notifications and the same goes there for whatsapp so there are more
questions a lot of people asking about does that support camera API you can
seek a camera API level 3 here which is good this is great it's not full but its
level 3 and it's still giving us lots of options as you can see we're getting
access to all of us it doesn't give us access to the 48 megapixels however when
you use gmod so this is Google's camera I do have that installed I'll show you
the version of it which is the one that there's working that you can get to work
it's the pixel 3-1 and if I click on that unity of this camera and it just
takes a second to load up and now we see we've got all those options there and
everything seems to be working so we've got there good portrait mode just using
the single camera and doing the stitching works really well I've taken a
couple of samples with the camera and it does look a little bit better specially
in low-light you can see right here here's a sample there's a quick samples
that I posted on Twitter as well so we've got one photo take
with the stock app and then the other one you can see which doesn't have the
watermark of this is taken with the Google camera app here and you can see
it's got less noise especially when you have a look at the wall on the
background there you can see a big difference with that video mode as well
so we've got all the way up to 4k with electronic image stabilization using
this so that is working - this is a quick sample with the Google camera with
a front-facing camera video you can see it does have electronic image
stabilization now which is good something that you don't get with the
stock camera app and here is a quick sample now using the G mode so that
Google pixel 3 camera app that's been ported over we've got electronic image
stabilization this is 4k and it's not quite Google pixels 3 smooth but it's
not bad considering this stock camera app that we get on the remote 7 does not
support 4k footage at all and if you use open camera you can also get 4k you can
see it's doing a good job the electronic image stabilization on I've got shaky
hands now I have noticed that the focus still has problems now and then because
it does not have that job pixel phase detection autofocus like we get with the
redmi note 5 a I will try and do a comparison with both stock apps of the
redmi note 7 versus the redmi note 5 that overall this is great to have this
4k Google pixels 3 camera app here with electronic image stabilization if you go
into the more settings now we do have the night shot night site okay to me the
night site it doesn't seem to be quite working correctly Ram it's not supported
but what's been happening is you take a photo and it really looks no different
from just the normal photos it's using the same shutter and the same ISO as
well so if I just take a quick photo you gotta hold it really still of course
this is not a good example this is of course studio lights on anything I just
want to show you that it's working front-facing camera works as well it
doesn't go black like a lot of the G chem files that I was testing out the
apk files it was just black and it wouldn't work so that's one thing to
bear in mind that this version does seem to all be working to me and in all the
testing I've been doing doing so that is really good now there's been a lot of
questions too about this of course to rid me the surimi note5 i've stole my
wife's one here you can see how pink on the back of it and I really think
between both of these a lot of people were asking me what just got the better
screen on them okay I pointed out the screen that we do have the darkness at
the top on this one if you see my full review you get a little bit of that
comes in at the bottom two on the redmi note 5 so neither these screens are
perfect but I believe the IPS panel in this one is slightly better okay so this
one comes out to be just a tiny little bit better this panel overall and when
you're looking at it now to the average Joe to the person who's not a techie
doesn't look at there to screen their screens in such detail you probably not
even going to notice a little bit of light leakage on this corners here and
in the black at the top there you can see it now you can see it come in and
it's just really on white images are you gonna see that so a lot of people been
asking me about that so normal kind of you won't see it this is why Xiaomi went
with this dark stock background this is the default background the wallpaper
that's probably why they've done that so obviously with these two phones here you
got to remember that the front-facing camera on this one does have a flash so
the redmi note 5 does have a front-facing flash now this is something
of course we don't get with this one because of the water style water drop
knotch there's just no room for a flash to be there on that one a loud speakers
sound pretty much the same but when you look at the bottom of course type C port
and then we just got the micro USB which is this one of course which is I mean
that's fine but this should have been type C to begin with anyway that one so
if you had both of these if you have sorry this phone the redmi note 5 should
you upgrade to the note 7 I don't see any reason to whatsoever performance
wise real-world use if you're not looking at benchmarks they are very
similar and really you're not gaining anything with the cameras I believe the
better camera to be this one the root me Note 5 because it does have that dual
pixel phase detection autofocus which is much better specially you notice in
low-light and the focus on this one if you see my sample video in my review
this just keeps going in and out and load light I will have a camera
comparison so will compare both for those the new 48 megapixels Samsung
sensor against the Samsung 12 mega sensor that's in this one and just be
interesting to note that which one's going to win but video wise both of
these cannot shoot 4k with the stock camera app but then you can with
applications like open camera there of course ok
so charge times as well this phone so we're looking at about two hours and
nine minutes with the stock charger but if you use a Qualcomm three charger
which I do have I don't have a Qualcomm quick charge for spec one this is going
to take then about one hour and 52 minutes so you're shaving off about 20
minutes of charge time moving over to quick charge 3 at least with that so I
don't know whether that's worth it probably not because that of course this
is 18 watts and the one included is a 10 watt charger so overall my impression of
this phone I think the build quality compared to the Redmi note 5 it just
feels a little bit more premium because of the glass they've used on it very
slippery to not to say the build quality is bad on the Ruby not 5 but definitely
if you read me 5 owner this is the AI Chinese version don't upgrade I wouldn't
upgrade don't waste your money there's no point getting this one I believe and
all you're really gaining it's just the teardrop knotch
and then is really a bit slightly faster performance and they camera really 48
megapixels but interpolated so it's not a true 48 megapixels that one there so
that's my follow-up video thank you so much for watching better life good
overall a really nice phone if you are in the market for a cheaper phone here
this of course is the 4 gigabyte 64 II MMC 5 spec one that I have here and yeah
it does come recommended for me good fun but you know upgrading don't upgrade
from the 6 or the AI sorry the a to the me a 2 as well as another one that I
wouldn't upgrade to for this because it's not really an upgrade alright thank
you so much please like and do subscribe for more up and coming videos bye for
now
