1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:06,180
- It is fricking going. Nine, 10. Especially when you're almost dead.

2
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:09,570
This thing fricking goes, 11.

3
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:13,420
What caught my eye about the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G,

4
00:00:13,420 --> 00:00:17,240
is not the Dimensity 920 Octa-Core SOC,

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:22,140
or the Mali-G68 GPU, the six to eight gigs of RAM,

6
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:26,180
or the 128 to 256 gigs of expandable,

7
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:31,220
although that did catch my eye a little bit, storage. But, this. I mean, it's right there.

8
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:37,143
Right, front and center. 120 Watt Xiaomi HyperCharge.

9
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:46,530
What the actual living (beep) A 120 Watt charging? Look at the size of this power brick.

10
00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:52,340
- [David] Whoa! - Apple's all like, we don't need to send a power brick,

11
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:58,030
Xiaomi's like, we're gonna sell you a power brick. And oh, by the way, there might be a phone in the box.

12
00:00:58,030 --> 00:01:02,540
Look at this thing. 15 minutes, they claim,

13
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:06,410
to charge the 4,500 milliamp hour battery.

14
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:09,530
- [David] Woo! - It's got a 108 megapixel main shooter,

15
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:14,320
along with an eight megapixel wide, as well as a two megapixel macro camera.

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,490
That 108 megapixel camera can operate, in a more reasonable 9:1 pixel mode.

17
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,850
So that's basically combining nine pixels into one,

18
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:29,530
and using pixel binning to improve the performance, of a, whatever that is, divided by nine.

19
00:01:29,530 --> 00:01:33,667
What's a 108 divided by nine? Help me! 90, 99.

20
00:01:33,667 --> 00:01:38,960
12, 12. So it'd be a 12 megapixel shot. It's got a flat Gorilla Glass 5 front,

21
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,560
with a Gorilla Glass 5 back. They actually sent over a cup of different colors.

22
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,713
We've got their black and their gre-- Oh, wow.

23
00:01:46,713 --> 00:01:50,460
That green looks way better in person,

24
00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:55,334
than it does on the box. That looks like crap on the box and it looks like the

25
00:01:55,334 --> 00:01:59,550
(beep) in person. Jono, one small challenge.

26
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:03,600
We're gonna need a travel adapter. Xiaomi did not send us,

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,643
a North America version of this charger.

28
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,910
Wow. That is, uh, not the best thing I've ever seen.

29
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:16,500
Do we have another one? (laughs) Okay, while Jono's finding that, let's go ahead and boot this puppy up.

30
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,300
Got USB-C for charging on the bottom, as well as data transfer.

31
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,360
We've got our SIM slot here, which should also include a micro SD slot.

32
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,840
I hate how budget phones, are the ones that get more features these days.

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,770
It's also got a headphone jack. How ridiculous is that? Right?

34
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:38,320
It's even IP 53 splash resistance. So it's not like they went and were like, oh yeah,

35
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,570
the expandable storage and headphone jack. We can't have any water resistance.

36
00:02:41,570 --> 00:02:46,440
It still has reasonable water resistance, even though it's not rated for submersion.

37
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,030
Yeah. Look at that. SIM one. SIM two can also be a micro SD.

38
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:57,550
It's almost like there's a whole like, system for this, that everyone else just ignores.

39
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:00,670
Along the left we've got a whole lot of nothing, which I actually like,

40
00:03:00,670 --> 00:03:05,440
'cause it means you'll never accidentally mash a button, on the left side while you're pressing on the right.

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,040
I already mentioned the headphone jack. Is that an IR emitter too? Oh, that looks like stereo speakers.

42
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Volume rocker as well as lock button. And this is gonna be a huge relief to some of you out there.

43
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,780
It's not my personal favorite, but they've got a completely flat front glass.

44
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:24,000
120 Hertz O-LED. Up to 360 Hertz touch sampling,

45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,470
that's excellent for gaming. Really well positioned speakers for gaming as well.

46
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:33,520
So you could see they, they come right, they rise right above where your fingers would rest,

47
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,770
if you were gaming on it.

48
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:49,533
I'm really liking the speaker, so far. A little label on here. Sound by JBL.

49
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:53,700
That partnership might be kind of paying off for them.

50
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,192
All right. I've had enough of that. It sounds awesome though.

51
00:03:57,192 --> 00:04:02,253
(upbeat music) These speakers sound great.

52
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:08,173
I am really surprised.

53
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:14,470
Wow. All right. Big thanks to Grid Studio for sponsoring this video.

54
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:18,860
Grid Studio's art frames, show off the art hidden inside technology.

55
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:22,410
Using the art of knolling, every part of your favorite phone or console,

56
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:26,150
is carefully extracted, laid out and labeled in clear view.

57
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:30,690
They've got over 30 different frames available, from the Game Boy Color to the iPhone X,

58
00:04:30,690 --> 00:04:35,850
and Grid Studio is giving you the chance, to win your very own frame for free.

59
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:41,940
They're giving away frames of the iPhone 4s, the Game Boy Color and both Apple A5X and A7 chips.

60
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:45,950
So, get your Grid Studio frame, or enter to win at the link down below.

61
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:51,600
HDR works immediately. It's rated for 700 nits typical, 1200 nits peak.

62
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,620
Looks very HDR-ey. And one of the things I noticed also right out of the gate,

63
00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:00,730
is that it doesn't seem to be in a vivid ugly display mode,

64
00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:04,910
out of the box. I'm gonna double check that. Oh, it is vivid.

65
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:09,498
Oh, so saturated does it all the time, and vivid does it only sometimes.

66
00:05:09,498 --> 00:05:14,480
Interesting. Yeah, it really wasn't that bad or noticeable.

67
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Sometimes you fire up a new phone, you're just like, oh wow.

68
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,560
And you just have to change it immediately. Yeah. It's really not that bad.

69
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,713
It's just a cooler color temperature.

70
00:05:24,713 --> 00:05:28,010
Huh. That's still pretty weak.

71
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:31,070
You know what? If we start a fire, at least we've got it on camera.

72
00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:35,080
What could go wrong? - [David] What's, uh, three two-letter words, that mean small?

73
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,726
- Okay, hit me. - [David] Is it in? - Is it in. Okay.

74
00:05:38,726 --> 00:05:43,133
Okay. (David laughing) It could be that this receptacle is just really loose.

75
00:05:43,133 --> 00:05:46,460
(David laughing) - [David] No! - Are you guys ready?

76
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:51,370
The time is now 16:03 and it's at 38%.

77
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:54,159
Quick charge. - [David] Whoa.

78
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,445
- Charging rapidly. It's at 41% now. - [David] Wow.

79
00:05:59,445 --> 00:06:04,000
- [Jono] What. - Hasn't even been a minute yet. It's not warm to the touch yet.

80
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,880
If it was me personally, I wouldn't use a super fast charging speed like this.

81
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,650
Okay, it's been three minutes, and we've made it from, what did we start at? 38?

82
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:16,057
- [David] Yeah. - To 51. - [David] Wow. - [Jono] Wow. (laughs)

83
00:06:16,057 --> 00:06:20,280
- I can't say this would be my preference, but if you're the kind of person,

84
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,710
who just cannot manage your battery,

85
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:27,780
I could see this working for you. And another thing to consider,

86
00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:31,290
is that part of managing your battery's health,

87
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:36,130
is not charging it too fast. But another big part of managing your battery's health,

88
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:40,090
is not letting it discharge too low or charge too high.

89
00:06:40,090 --> 00:06:45,090
So if you were able to stay in like a 20% to 80% range,

90
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:48,810
all the time, by just quickly juicing it for a little bit,

91
00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:54,360
and juicing it for a little bit, juicing it for a little bit, you might actually be able to offset any disadvantage,

92
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,800
of quick charging like this. Yeah, this could be a great phone, for people who travel a lot, like I've been, I've done it.

93
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,790
I've been sitting in an airport going like, oh, I just made it to my gate.

94
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:10,630
There's no power on this flight. I have like 10 minutes. And if I could juice up my phone by 50, 60, 70%,

95
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:17,000
in that 10 minutes, it'd be unbelievable. Frankly, it's not as fast as advertised. Right?

96
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,540
They said 15 minutes for a full charge, but something you've gotta keep in mind,

97
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:26,260
is that it'll charge faster at the beginning, so it's probably already tapering off, even.

98
00:07:26,260 --> 00:07:31,450
Why don't we take a few camera shots, with our second phone here. Oh, this one's battery is dead.

99
00:07:31,450 --> 00:07:35,000
Okay. I'm actually kind of more curious about that. - [David] Yep. Switch them out.

100
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,710
- Let's do it. The time is now 16:09. Okay.

101
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:42,010
While we play around with the camera on this one then,

102
00:07:42,010 --> 00:07:47,670
let's let this one charge and let's see how far it gets. Immediately I can tell you that the color performance,

103
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:55,430
of this camera is not amazing. I would describe this smoothing anti-shake as not amazing,

104
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:57,713
but definitely functional.

105
00:07:59,420 --> 00:08:03,800
It works better as an anti-shake than as smoothing,

106
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,880
'cause when you're moving around, it kind of doesn't really know what to do.

107
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,460
But it's pretty on rails as far as anti-shake goes. I mean, that's what happens,

108
00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:17,390
when you're not using the highest performance SOC, but that's gonna be reflected in the pricing,

109
00:08:17,390 --> 00:08:23,770
and it does have other redeeming features, that's for sure. For a six gig, 128 gig expandable with headphone jack phone,

110
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:30,510
especially with the speaker sounding this good, and like 120 Hertz display, that's damn reasonable.

111
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:34,640
All right, the time is now 16:12. And this is, oh, it's only at 1%.

112
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,260
Oh, I wonder if it took a little while, to figure out its shizz.

113
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:42,620
Does it actually have to be powered on to use hyper charge?

114
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,630
Okay. It's going-- Whoa. Holy crap.

115
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:49,660
Hold on. Boost. - [David] Oh yeah, baby. Let's go.

116
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:53,610
- Okay. Now it's going. Since we booted up, we went from two to five,

117
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:57,570
like it just-- Seven. It is fricking going.

118
00:08:57,570 --> 00:09:01,220
Nine, 10. Especially when you're almost dead.

119
00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:04,800
This thing fricking goes. 11.

120
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,910
Confirmed. It's really fricking fast.

121
00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:11,960
16. Thanks for wat-- 17.

122
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,920
