what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we're checking
out one of the latest phones from xiaomi called the redmi note 11. so there are three versions of
this phone this is the most affordable out of the three this is the redmi note 11 then we have the
redmi note 11 11s and the redmi note 11 pro but if you're looking for the most affordable out of
the three this is the one now i've done a camera comparison between this phone and the iphone 13
i know the iphone 13 is about five times more expensive than this but i wanted to show you
what a phone like this can do when compared to a flagship and if that's the only thing you want to
see that camera comparison starts at this minute in this video so you can skip right there if you
don't care about anything else okay so this phone is powered by the snapdragon 680 that spelled
either four or six gigs of ram i personally have the version with four gigs of ram and i kind of
wish i would have had the version with six gigs of ram and if you like benchmark scores well this
device gets an antutu benchmark score of about 250 000. okay so with budget phones you typically have
to compromise certain things about a device so one thing that you are not going to be compromising
with the redmi note 11 is the screen so this is a six point four three inches amoled screen with
a 90 hertz refresh rate and a 1080p resolution i have to say that this is one of the best screens
that i've seen for any budget phone so if you're looking for something cheap that has a really good
screen this is definitely one that you shouldn't consider the screen also gets super bright so
there is no problem seeing the screen outdoors in direct sunlight something that doesn't usually
happen with a lot of budget phones another thing that you're not going to have to compromise with
this phone is the battery life so inside this we have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery and on
one charge you can typically get between 13 and 15 hours of screen on time not to mention that inside
the box we get a 33 watt fast charger and it takes the phone about an hour to charge from zero to a
hundred so pretty impressive specs for a budget phone the phone also gets pretty decent dual
speakers so we have one speaker at the top and one speaker at the bottom and once again they sound
better than a lot of other budget phones that i've tried in the past and at the top here we even get
a 3.5 mil audio jack so if you are plugging some headphones you definitely can with this phone
we also have an ir blaster so you can use the phone as a remote control for your tv
and we even have an nfc chip inside the phone and that means that you're going to be able to make
payments with this device the build quality is decent but nothing to write home about
so the phone is mostly made out of plastic so the frame here is made out of plastic the back is made
out of plastic however the phone doesn't look bad but when you're holding it in your hand if you've
had an expensive phone before it does feel a bit on the cheaper side on the right hand side here
we also have the power button that's a fingerprint scanner and the fingerprint scanner works really
good it takes about half a second from the time you touch it for the phone to unlock moving on to
performance well this is where you're gonna have to compromise a bit with a phone like this so this
is definitely not the fastest phone out there the phone runs miui 13 which is based on android 11
and i'm not sure if it has to do with miui 13 or the 4 gigs of ram that i have for this device
but the phone feels a bit sluggish whenever you're scrolling through your screens when you're opening
apps when you're closing apps so performance wise this is not going to be the fastest phone
out there but as i said you do have to compromise somewhere when you're talking about budget phones
and that is definitely one of the things that you're going to have to compromise which is
performance next we're gonna move on and talk about cameras and i feel the cameras are another
point on this device that you're gonna have to compromise a bit that is the case with a lot of
budget friendly devices all right so on the back of this phone we have the main camera we have an
ultra wide camera we have a macro camera another camera that's used for portrait mode pictures
what you're seeing on the screen right now are pictures i took with the main cameras on the
back of this phone and of course on the back of the iphone 13. as you can see here the iphone
13 does seem to do better in most of those some pictures the dynamic range in those pictures taken
by the iphone 13 is better the picture sharpness is better but i did notice that the redmi note
11 does better for color accuracy the iphone 13 does tend to over saturate those colors a bit but
overall for the main camera this is what you're going to be able to get from the redmi note 11
so once again i'm not trying to do this comparison to show that the iphone 13 is better i'm doing
this comparison so you can see what you can get from a phone like the redmi note 11 when compared
to a flagship moving on to some pictures i took with the ultrawide cameras once again
here the iphone 13 does better mostly because the pictures are sharper if you look at the pictures
they took the redmi note 11 well the right and the left hand side of the pictures aren't as
sharp as the pictures that we get from um that iphone 13 however the dynamic range seems to be
improved um from that ultrawide camera when compared to the main camera but overall yes
the iphone 13 does um better for that ultrawide camera moving on to some five times zoom pictures
well here neither the iphone 13 or the redmi note 11 doesn't that great and that has a lot
to do the fact that we don't actually have a telephoto lens on the back of either device
so for a budget friendly phone i feel that it does plenty good when compared to that um iphone 13. as
for portrait mode pictures i can't really say that the redmi note 11 doesn't bad because it
actually doesn't do bad for those portrait mode pictures so i don't really mind the portrait mode
pictures that i took with the redmi note 11 even though the iphone 13 does seem to do a bit um
better next we're gonna move on and check out some pictures that i took at night so if you are taking
pictures with the main camera you can use a night mode for the main camera however if you are taking
nighttime pictures to the ultra wide lens you cannot use the night mode for that ultra wide lens
now looking at those pictures that i took once again there is no comparison between
the iphone 13 and the redmi note 11 then that was to be expected well we all know
that the flagship has a bigger sensor and so on so that's why most of those pictures look better
again for a budget phone i don't feel those pictures are bad if you have some light around
you but again if you're comparing it with the iphone 13 the iphone 13 will do better
in every single picture next we're gonna move on and check out some sample video recordings
so the maximum recording resolution would um redmi note 11 is 1080p at 60 frames per second however
the phone doesn't get any imi stabilization at any resolution so it doesn't matter if you're doing
1080p at 30 1080p at 60 you're not gonna get imi stabilization so if you're not holding the phone
super steady you will see that the footage is shaking so next i'm going to show you some sample
recordings so you can see the video quality from the redmi note 11 compared to the video quality
that we get from that iphone 13. all right we have a quick video test between the xiaomi redmi note
11 and the iphone 13 for this recording i'm doing 1080p at 30 frames per second with both devices of
course with the iphone 13 i could also record in 4k but the maximum recording resolution for the
redmi note 11 is 1080p at 60 frames per second unfortunately at these resolutions we don't get
any imi stabilization um with the redmi note 11 so if you are walking fast or stuff like that
the footage will look a bit um shaky as you can probably see
right now we're gonna stop here i guess now actually let's um head left so we'll go this way
we're gonna stop somewhere around here and i'm gonna pan left slowly and then back right
so yeah this is how recording would look like if you are using the xiaomi redmi note 11 and
the iphone 13 recording with the main camera and doing 1080p at 30 frames per second okay and we
are moving on to another quick recording done with the front-facing cameras on both these devices so
the iphone 13 and the xiaomi redmi note 11. the maximum recording resolution for um the redmi note
11 is 1080p at 30 frames per second of course with the iphone you could do 4k at 60 frames
per second that front facing camera it doesn't seem like we get any type of image stabilization
for the front facing camera on the redmi note 11. so yeah this is how recording would look like with
the front-facing cameras on these two devices on a super sunny day but also a bit of a windy day
all right we have a quick video test between the xiaomi redmi note 11 and of course the iphone 13
for this recording we are using the main cameras on the back of the two devices and recording in
1080p at 30 frames per second of course at this resolution um the redmi note 11 doesn't get
imi stabilization as i said done earlier and of course the iphone 13 i could do 4k at 60 frames
per second so i'm gonna stop here actually let's walk this way where it gets a bit darker
walk this way i'm just gonna pan right slowly
and back left and i guess we'll walk past this um blue sign
see this is how recording uh done with the main
cameras on the back of these two devices would look like
so that's gonna be the video quality that you're gonna be able to get from the redmi note 11 as
i said you do have to compromise a bit with a budget phone like this one and the same kind
of goes on for selfies for selfies the redmi note 11 doesn't have a night mode so if it's
dark whenever you're taking those um selfies of course the selfies aren't gonna turn out
that great so there you have it this is the xiaomi redmi note 11. as i said there are a
couple of things that are really good about this phone considering that this is a budget
friendly phone like the screen one of the best screens that i've seen on any device
the battery life on it is good the fingerprint scanner works great the speakers some work great
so there are many things that are great about this phone but a couple of things that you do
have to consider when buying a budget friendly phone like the xiaomi redmi note 11. all right
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
