Hit

Miss

[@emeobuba4671]

A hit for me. I just bought it. Such a sweet, smooth phone

[@k4rz3n]

@@emeobuba4671 I Agree....it's way better than I expected🔥 💯

[@tomlamar-ow3rl]

Redmi note 11 is better tho you don't need 120 hertz that much and 90 is a sweet spot also speakers is really important because not all the time you will use earphones

if its got a 1080p amoled, solid battery endurance and charging speed and a headphone jack im game..the pro models reportedly have worse battery endurance than 2023 flagships, that sucks. And i wish they'd go back to offering 6.4 inch size displays.looks neat though

Hi I love your reviews on. Mobile phones. Can you please do a review or comparison of these 3 models: Tecno CAMON 20 pro, Xiaomi NOTE 12 pro and Infinx NOTE ❤30 pro

[@kylegabrielmedrano8162]

This phone is awesome. I love it so much. I got the 8/256 variant. Not exactly the best specs in the market, but I'm happy to say I can enjoy Genshin Impact on medium graphics on this thing. Its sleek design makes it comfortable to hold and I absolutely love the display and 120hz refresh rate. Worth every penny if you ask me.

Should you buy it? Well, if you are the kind of person who doesn't care about the camera or is not a gamer or just wants to use a decent phone, this one is for you. I'm not a gamer nor a camera type of person yet I pre-ordered this online because of its price and its storage 😊.

Please does the speaker sound better than Redmi note 10 pro?

Also, may i ask if it only gives 2 year OS update, after that we can still use it to download apps right? So, why care about using a...not the latest OS version? Some of the apps require latest version of OS?

When picking a budget Xiaomi always opt for a higher physical ram (dont mind the useless ram extension) because to matter what Xiaomi says about their UI giving optimization (they're liars) MIUI is always heavy and 4gb ram is crap, note 12 has 8gb version just add some money in it.

[@jmd9547]

Gorilla Glass 3 is more scratch resistant than the Gorilla Glass 5. Unless your phone always falls on the ground then Gorilla Glass 5 is better. Ang who said that tecno spark is the budget king? Redmi is way ahead than tecno phones.

Keep configuring it, you'll get the best out of your great buy. You won't regret owning this great Xiaomi product. It may not be the ultimate but it's an enjoyable phone that i personally long to own. I promise you your phones who use expensive phones won't notice the difference with yours. Infact they'll wonder as you display what that phone can do. The extras are just too much. Infra Red lets you control every gadget in the house, car etc. You can even play 2 videos simultaneously in Xiaomi and mute the other one of your choice. I surprise lots of people with my Redmi 9T of many years ago.
