The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro - A Good Smartphone with a Wonderful Design, Screen, and Speakers. SMARTPHONE TIER: MID Battery Capacity mAh: 5000 Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: 50/100 Overall Battery Performance Score: Ranking #47 Mid Tier Ranking: Ranking #6 We have listed what you need to know about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro. Overview As a follow-up to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro released in 2021, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro offers 5G over its predecessor with a few other minor tweaks. The smartphone is similar in size but slightly heavier, with a sleek design. Using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, it is a more robust mobile phone yet more restricted in its capabilities; one such example is that it can only support display resolutions up to 1080p. However, it has a tremendous 120Hz display that is finished with a glass back frosted surface, which, while it does a great job of resisting fingerprints, is nonetheless marked after a few minutes of use by the natural grease from our palms. Numerous popular features are included in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro, including stereo speakers, a microSD expansion slot, FM radio, a 3.5mm audio connector, NFC, an IR blaster, and an overview of solid battery performance. Like the other Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 devices, it runs Android 11 and the most recent MIUI 13 version, which has significant internal upgrades that provide a better and quicker experience both now and over the course of the next few years, thanks to numerous improvements. According to reports, the new update prioritizes significantly better resource allocation and should handle processor, RAM, and storage utilization better and more intelligently. The goal of MIUI 13 is to monitor how much RAM and processor are being used at any one time and suspend any superfluous processes to free up resources and improve performance.

The Apple iPhone 14 Plus offers everything the iPhone 14 does, although it does benefit from a larger 6.7-inch display and a bigger battery capacity. It is neatly positioned in the middle of the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro, although it doesn't have the higher price tag of the iPhone 14 Pro, making it a little more desirable. Following in the footsteps of the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 14 Plus has hardly changed in design. It retains its glossy appearance and has an aluminium frame with flattened sides. Also, it is much lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro and comfortable to hold. The iPhone 14 Plus is available in Blue, Purple, Yellow, Midnight, Starlight, and (Product) Red and is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. As mentioned, the iPhone 14 Plus has a larger display and excellent battery life; this could be a good reason to select this device over the smaller iPhone 14. However, there is a drawback: it only has a 60Hz refresh rate compared to the iPhone 14 Pro and other competitors' offerings. Using ProMotion technology, the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes advantage of its 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring users gain a more responsive experience with smooth scrolling, especially when gaming. The iPhone 14 Plus joins the Flagship/Pro (€700 +), although less expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro that can also be found in this tier. What's it like to Use? The iPhone 14 Plus has its new 6.7-inch Retina XDR OLED screen with an HDR display of 2778 x 1284 pixels. Also applied is the Apple Ceramic Shield o n the glass for shattering proofing, and an oleophobic coating does help with the fingerprints and smudges Powered by an A15 Bionic chipset, the iPhone 14 Plus uses five GPU cores, helping to deliver a smoother user experience. Also, Apple has chosen to incorporate new software features in the iPhone 14 Plus, such as Photonic Engine and Action mode, which are only currently available in the iPhone 14 series. The Photonic Engine can capture more detailed images and render brighter colours, and the Action mode allows for smooth handheld videos. Like the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus has 3 cameras. The main camera has been upgraded with a larger sensor, with more upgrades for the selfie camera. Autofocus has been introduced, allowing for much closer selfies and impressive photo quality. This is not all, as there is the phase detection autofocus. This latest feature, used by Apple, is considered the best autofocus technology to complement standard contrast detection and is used by other leading smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony. The iPhone 14 series comes with 6GB of RAM, a step up from the 4GB in the iPhone 13 series. The iPhone 14 Plus comes with 3 storage options being 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. It is worth noting that storage options can not be changed or expanded after purchase. After prolonged usage, the iPhone can get slightly hot. To help overcome this issue, the iPhone 14 Plus does have built-in protections to prevent overheating. This involves the device protecting its internal components by attempting to regulate its temperature. How does it perform? Like all new iPhones, the iPhone 14 Plus is run on Apple iOS 16, and its interface has widgets and apps located on the home screen, with an App Library and Notification and Control Centers. Also, Face ID or PIN allows you to bypass the lockscreen. The iPhone 14 Plus iOS 16 has many improvements to enhance better performance. One such refinement is that notifications now appear from the bottom of the screen. Also, the Visual Lookup feature now uses advanced machine learning. Within photos or videos, items like pets, plants, and landmarks can be identified, and further information is provided. One attribute supported by all smartphones in the new iPhone 14 series is the Emergency SOS feature. Using satellite technology, essential information can be texted to emergency services outside cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. This feature is integrated into Apple's Crash Detection, designed to detect severe car crashes - such as front-impact, side-impact, and rear-end collisions and rollovers. So when the iPhone 14 Plus detects a severe crash, it will sound an alarm, display an alert, and automatically connect to emergency services providing the device location as latitude and longitude coordinates. You should know you can turn off alerts and automatic emergency calls after a severe car crash. What else is in the box? Apple has maintained its minimal packaging design, so not much has changed from the previous iPhone 13 series. In the eco-friendly box are a USB-C to Lightning cable, documentation, a SIM ejector (if you have a non-US model), and an Apple sticker. A power adapter is not in the box; use an existing charger with the USB-C connector. A Quick Summary The new iPhone 14 Plus still has the same design, display, chipset, and battery as its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Plus. However, some noteworthy enhancements include upgraded main and selfie cameras, Emergency SOS satellite connectivity, improved graphics and battery performance.

With the introduction of hours added to the ViserMark Battery Life Label, it is even easier to see just how competitive the devices are in their functionality and unique capabilities. Comparison of Smartphones in the Flagship/Pro Tier As used in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the 5000 mAh battery capacity is popular among smartphone manufacturers. A larger battery capacity helps to ensure smooth performance and an excellent all-around user experience. Activities like gaming, video streaming, or using resource-intensive apps can consume more power than tasks like texting or checking emails. One of the most power-hungry components of a smartphone is the display. The iPhone 14 Plus and the Xiaomi 13 Pro have 6.7-inch displays, larger than their predecessors. However, more recently, smaller batteries have been used. For example, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is powered by a 4820 mAh battery and even smaller, with 4323 mAh, is the iPhone 14 Plus. ViserMark under battery performance is essential to smartphone users. We also appreciate that manufacturers consider this area important to ensure a great user experience. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chip, meaning both have an extra GPU core. This helps to improve cooling within the device and ensures increased performance. Please note that all devices take advantage of pre-set features like adaptive brightness, which automatically adjusts screen brightness based on ambient lighting and can help conserve battery life. Also, more manufacturers offer regular software and security updates so that smartphones can benefit from further optimisations to enhance battery performance. The iPhone 14 Plus, like other devices in the 14 series, are supported for at least six years’ worth of iOS updates.

Apple iPhone 14 Plus Annual Energy Consumption Results A smartphone's battery capacity plays a significant role in determining energy consumption. Devices with larger batteries of 5000 mAh, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, tend to consume more energy than the iPhone 14 Plus and Xiaomi 13 Pro, which both have smaller batteries because it stores more energy. Comparison of Smartphones in the Flagship/Pro Tier Daily activities greatly influence energy consumption. For instance, frequent use of power-intensive apps, heavy gaming, or prolonged video streaming can drain the battery faster, resulting in higher energy consumption. Conversely, conservative usage and enabling power-saving features can reduce energy consumption. Through ViserMark's battery performance testing protocol, end-users can see an objective benchmark across all devices on their smartphone's expected annual electricity consumption. Should I buy it? The iPhone 14 Plus is one of the lightest 6.7-inch phones now available, and it easily matches the functionality and capability of other flagship smartphones, perhaps one of the best iPhones that Apple has manufactured. The new design and features of the iPhone 14 Plus, including upgraded cameras, offer as much performance as the iPhone 14 Pro version. Its larger display is an added bonus. Its larger battery capacity helps to extend the impressive battery performance, and its price tag is also an attractive reason to consider this smartphone over others in the iPhone 14 series and other alternative devices. From a repairability perspective, the effort in rearranging components allows for the display and glass back panel to be mended if broken. However, the new design of the iPhone 14 Plus hasn't been incorporated into the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which may be the standard adopted for the iPhone 15 series of smartphones.

Due to its foldable design, it is highly portable and space-saving, making it an ideal choice for people who are always on the move. However, its suitability may depend on the size and style of your pocket or purse. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 folds effortlessly and has a larger outer screen, making it more compact and convenient. Although some features, such as the processor and camera, remain unchanged, it performs better and captures higher-quality photos than its predecessor. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Overview What's it like to Use? Regarding the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, users can expect subtle yet significant improvements that solidify its position as the go-to choice in its relatively uncompetitive market niche. Notably, the cover screen has been significantly improved, making the device much more practical, and the hinge mechanism has been revamped to allow for a flat fold, eliminating the annoying edge formation. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 now boasts a new chipset, 256GB of base storage, and minor adjustments to the camera and internal display's brightness. While the phone's size hasn't changed much, the outer screen has been expanded to offer users much more utility than its predecessor. It's worth mentioning, however, that the display's crease (a common issue with foldable smartphones) is still noticeable, although users tend to grow accustomed to it over time. Balancing familiarity and innovation, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is an excellent choice for those who want a refined and advanced foldable smartphone experience. This is especially true in a market that has limited alternatives. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 boasts a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED primary screen with a 2640 x 1080 pixels resolution. The primary screen has an adaptive refresh rate that can shift smoothly from 1Hz to 120Hz, making it more power-efficient. The screen is protected by ultra-thin glass (UTG) and delivers stunning visuals with vibrant colours, high contrast, and outstanding viewing angles. Moreover, it has an impressive peak brightness of 1750 nits, enhancing its outdoor visibility. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5's interface includes various display features such as dark mode, adjustable brightness, colour profiles, and support for an ever-present display. Overall, the primary screen offers an impressive visual experience with better readability outdoors, making it a crucial aspect of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5's design. How does it Perform? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 maintains the same aesthetic design as its predecessors, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. It features a polished Armor Aluminum frame that matches the device's colour, with precise, sleek corners and a flat back. The most notable change in design is the placement of the dual circular camera lenses, which are now arranged horizontally in the upper-left corner instead of vertically. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 has a glossy black due to the expanded cover display, creating a subtle colour palette with less intensity. The Mint colour option is available, but more vibrant choices like blue, green, grey, and yellow are only offered on Samsung.com. A thinner profile has improved the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 design thanks to the updated water-drop hinge. This allows the phone to close completely flat, resulting in a 2mm reduction in thickness compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. The hinge maintains the sturdy Flex Hinge feel and allows for Flex Mode, which optimises the user interface placement. Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is still resistant to water with an IPX8 rating, and it features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for durability. However, the phone now has a reflective glass finish instead of a textured one, which makes it more susceptible to minor scratches. Despite the lack of official dust protection certification, independent tests have shown that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 can withstand over 400,000 folds.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is considered by many to be the best foldable Android smartphone available. It offers a unique and attractive experience, with exceptional screen and camera quality. It boasts a new, improved Flex Window, exceptional build quality, and reliable rear cameras. As Samsung's thinnest and most refined foldable phone to date, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is worth considering. This phone is a top performer, equipped with a 3.4-inch asymmetrical cover display, a revamped gapless hinge, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset. With its many features, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 includes the Flex Window, an impressive build quality and camera capabilities. It may not be as sturdy as a traditional smartphone nor ideal for those prioritising long battery life, versatile photography, or extensive external screen features. It's important to carefully consider your preferences before making a purchase. Remember that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is a distinctive and user-friendly phone that values aesthetics, innovation, and Samsung's top-notch display and camera. It's especially worth considering during promotions or price drops. The OPPO Find N2 Flip boasts a sleek, robust design that rivals the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5. Its 6.8-inch screen is bigger than the Xiaomi 13 Pro's non-foldable 6.73-inch display. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 has a primary Full HD+ AMOLED screen measuring 6.7 inches and is the lightest of all three comparable smartphones, weighing 187 g. The most exciting feature Xiaomi has introduced on the Xiaomi 13 Pro is the impressive camera system, co-engineered with Leica. Benefitting from wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, the design of the camera app is faster and easier to use. Also, a 1-inch ultra-large sensor provides a massive light-sensitive area, more powerful light absorption and better imaging resolution. Often, foldable smartphones suffer from insufficient camera functionality and quality. However, this is not the case with OPPO Find N2 Flip. Powered by Sony's IMX890 sensor (as used in the OnePlus 11), the OPPO's MariSilican X imaging NPU assists with image processing. Although lacking in optical image stabilisation, OPPO's camera technology is impressive. The hinge mechanism can support the phone at any angle between 45 and 110 degrees, enabling interesting camera usage, including tripod mode, waist-level shooting and 'camcorder' mode.
