The Redmi Note 11, the newest smartphone in the long-running Redmi Note series of smartphones. This series of devices has always strived to offer the Indian consumer a device that offers a balance between hardware and performance. In order to live up to the series’ reputation, the Redmi Note 11 packs some serious hardware. This includes a large 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, a 50MP quad-rear camera setup, and a 5000mAh battery. At the heart of it all is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC. All this wrapped inside an eye-catching build.
Aside from its impressive specs, a really cool thing about the Redmi Note 11 is that it is compatible with hands-free Alexa. What that means is that users do not have to manually open the Alexa app. They can simply say “Alexa” and issue a command or ask a question.
All users have to do is head over to the Google Play Store to download and install the Alexa app. Once installed, open the app and sign in using the same credentials as the user’s Amazon account. Then simply follow the instructions to set up hands-free access.
So the big question is, what can Alexa do? But the question one should be asking is, what can’t Alexa do?
With Alexa, users can easily control their music and entertainment with just their voice. It can play specific songs, play/pause tracks and change songs. Alexa can also play a variety of games if needed.
Alexa can also help with daily tasks. It can give a rundown of meetings or appointments, pay bills, or set up a reminder. Since Alexa is linked to the user’s Amazon account, it can order anything from the online retailer. One can also ask Alexa for news and weather updates, as well as general questions
Alexa can also do more directly on the phone. It can be used to call friends, open apps, or start navigation. If users select the ‘Respond While Locked’ option when setting up Alexa, they don't have to unlock the phone when giving commands. Of course, as an Alexa device, users can also access and control any connected Alexa-enabled smart devices such as bulbs, fans or any other such devices.
As an added bonus, it should be noted that Alexa is compatible with Hindi. So users can converse with Alexa in the language they are more familiar with.
As we mentioned earlier, the Redmi Note 11 has a lot more to offer aside from hands-free Alexa. This includes some pretty impressive hardware, considering its price point. Here’s a rundown of what users can expect from the Redmi Note 11.
Notable Performance
The Redmi Note series of smartphones have never been slouches when it comes to performance, and the Redmi Note 11 is no exception. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC. This is an octa-core chipset that uses Kryo 265 cores. It also packs an Adrena 610 GPU to aid with gaming. Another feature to note is that the phone uses UFS 2.2 standard for storage. This means that the phone can access stored data faster than previous standards.
Big Screen Experience
The most notable feature of the Redmi Note series has to be its large display. The Redmi Note 11 packs a huge 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ display. With this users get a 90Hz refresh rate that allows for a smoother experience when it comes to transitions or gaming. Speaking of gaming, the phone also offers a touch sampling rate of 180Hz, which should allow for a more responsive gaming experience. Other features include a peak brightness of 1000 nits, which should ensure screen legibility even in extremely bright environments.
Style with Substance
When it comes to design, the Redmi Note 11 strives to straddle the fine line between functionality and style. The phone is 8.09mm thick and weighs 179g. This means that it not only looks good but also is comfortable to use over lengthy periods of time. The phone comes in three colour variants, namely Starburst White, Space Black, Horizon Blue. The Starburst White is of particular note thanks to its starry-finish texture.
Big Battery
The Redmi Note 11 packs a large 5000mAh battery that should be more than enough to power through a full day. This is helped by the fact that Snapdragon 680 is based on the 6nm process, which is more efficient than similar chipsets that are based on larger nodes. On top of this, users also get 33W Pro fast charging. The company notes that this system takes 15% less time to charge as compared to standard 33W fast charging systems. And who would say no to that?
Versatile Photographer
The Redmi Note 11 also packs a quad-rear camera setup. This includes a large 50MP primary camera that can deliver high resolution pictures. Up next is an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with an 118-degree field of view that allows users to fit more inside a single frame. Then, we have a pair of two 2MP sensors. One features a macro lens that lets users take photos up close, while the other is a depth sensor that helps take better Portrait photos.
As one can clearly see, the Redmi Note 11 continues the series’ trend of offering impressive hardware at an affordable price. The addition of hand-free Alexa adds a whole new layer of usability to the smartphone. In fact, one could say that the integration of Alexa into the Redmi Note 11 makes it a ‘smarter’ phone.
