The Redmi Note family is one of the most famous families of the Chinese giant Xiaomi phones, and with the launch of the latest versions of this family, we decided that our experience with the Redmi Note 11 S phone will be an extended experience for two months as a main phone to know the reliability of the phone and its most prominent advantages and disadvantages…. Welcome to my digital view.
Redmi Note 11 S review.
First: the design
The phone comes with the same design that we saw in the previous version, the Note 11, which is simple and elegant, carrying the new design lines that we have seen since the end of 2021, with plastic materials on its back and frame. The phone In addition to the use of an anti-fingerprint coating on the back of the phone, the dimensions of the phone are exactly the same as the previous version.
Length Width Thickness Weight 15.9 cm 7.4 cm 8.1 mm 179 grams
Which kept the grip of the phone tight, in addition to the plastic materials made of good materials that increased the phone’s resistance to shocks and falls, but this did not prevent us from using the back cover of the phone to keep it. On the right of the phone, we find the power button that contains a quick fingerprint sensor, topped by the volume control button, and on the left we find the SIM card port that supports the installation of two SIM cards and one external card. Memory at the same time. From the bottom, we find the Type-C charging port with the external speaker port and the microphone, and from the top we find a 3.5mm port for headphones and another port for external speakers where the phone supports stereo sound technology. , along with an IR BLASTER port and an additional noise-isolating microphone. From the front, we find the screen, which occupies 84.5% of the total area of the phone interface, in the middle from the top of the hole for the front camera with a rather large bottom edge, and from the back we find four cameras. With a single LED flash in a bezel with a small bump. The design of the cameras follows the new design lines, as the main camera is located at the top with a design that gives it a large size, and the rest of the cameras are stacked at the bottom.
It comes with a slight resistance to water drops, but here too we submerged it in water for regarding a minute.
Second: – Screen and sound
The screen here comes with a 6.43-inch AMOLED type, with FHD + quality, 1080 x 2460 pixels resolution, and a pixel density of 409 pixels per inch, and supports screen dimensions in a ratio of 20: 9, in addition to an update. 90Hz for better response when using the screen, especially during games. The screen comes with a brightness range of 700 to 1000 lumens, which is a very good light ratio. It was interesting to see phones in this price category because of the great comfort it achieves by treating the phone’s screen in broad daylight and comes with a 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass protection, which did not disappoint the optimists. Where we were waiting for the fifth generation.
As for the sound, it supports stereo sound, and although it provides a very loud sound, we noticed that the bottom speaker is responsible for generating most of the sound, while the top speaker outputs flat sound, which had an effect. In this. The sound has become somewhat hollow and lacks multiple layers of sound
Third: – Jer
Here, the most important differences stand out, as we find that the processor used in the Note 11S comes from Media Tech, which is Helio G96 with 12 nano technology, with a Mali-G57 MC2 graphics processor, and it will be available in three versions. For internal memory and RAM.
The first version has an internal memory of 64 GB of type UFS 2.2 with random memory capacity of 6 GB of type LPDDR4

The version we present to you today is 6 RAM with 128 internal memory, which gave us a stable and smooth performance with all the usual work on the phone and with heavy games like PUBG and Call of Duty, the frame rate was stable. At 60 fps, as was the case with Call of Duty, where the graphics were on a medium option at a high frame rate of 60 fps.
We also did not feel any increase in the phone’s temperature as a result of the phone having a large cooling chamber inside, as well as the use of graphite plates to dissipate heat, which made the phone run smoothly throughout. the weather.
