00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:06.180
- It is fricking going. Nine, 10. Especially when you're almost dead.

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:09.570
This thing fricking goes, 11.

00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:13.420
What caught my eye about the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G,

00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:17.240
is not the Dimensity 920 Octa-Core SOC,

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:22.140
or the Mali-G68 GPU, the six to eight gigs of RAM,

00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:26.180
or the 128 to 256 gigs of expandable,

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.

00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:37.143
Right, front and center. 120 Watt Xiaomi HyperCharge.

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.

00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:52.340
- [David] Whoa! - Apple's all like, we don't need to send a power brick,

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.

00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:02.540
Look at this thing. 15 minutes, they claim,

00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:06.410
to charge the 4,500 milliamp hour battery.

00:01:06.410 --> 00:01:09.530
- [David] Woo! - It's got a 108 megapixel main shooter,

00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:14.320
along with an eight megapixel wide, as well as a two megapixel macro camera.

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:20.490
That 108 megapixel camera can operate, in a more reasonable 9:1 pixel mode.

00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:23.850
So that's basically combining nine pixels into one,

00:01:23.850 --> 00:01:29.530
and using pixel binning to improve the performance, of a, whatever that is, divided by nine.

00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:33.667
What's a 108 divided by nine? Help me! 90, 99.

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,

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:43.560
with a Gorilla Glass 5 back. They actually sent over a cup of different colors.

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.713
We've got their black and their gre-- Oh, wow.

00:01:46.713 --> 00:01:50.460
That green looks way better in person,

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

00:01:55.334 --> 00:01:59.550
(beep) in person. Jono, one small challenge.

00:01:59.550 --> 00:02:03.600
We're gonna need a travel adapter. Xiaomi did not send us,

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:06.643
a North America version of this charger.

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:11.910
Wow. That is, uh, not the best thing I've ever seen.

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.

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:20.300
Got USB-C for charging on the bottom, as well as data transfer.

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:24.360
We've got our SIM slot here, which should also include a micro SD slot.

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.840
I hate how budget phones, are the ones that get more features these days.

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.770
It's also got a headphone jack. How ridiculous is that? Right?

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,

00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:41.570
the expandable storage and headphone jack. We can't have any water resistance.

00:02:41.570 --> 00:02:46.440
It still has reasonable water resistance, even though it's not rated for submersion.

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:51.030
Yeah. Look at that. SIM one. SIM two can also be a micro SD.

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.

00:02:57.550 --> 00:03:00.670
Along the left we've got a whole lot of nothing, which I actually like,

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.

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.

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.

00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:20.780
It's not my personal favorite, but they've got a completely flat front glass.

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:24.000
120 Hertz O-LED. Up to 360 Hertz touch sampling,

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.470
that's excellent for gaming. Really well positioned speakers for gaming as well.

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,

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.770
if you were gaming on it.

00:03:44.630 --> 00:03:49.533
I'm really liking the speaker, so far. A little label on here. Sound by JBL.

00:03:50.540 --> 00:03:53.700
That partnership might be kind of paying off for them.

00:03:53.700 --> 00:03:57.192
All right. I've had enough of that. It sounds awesome though.

00:03:57.192 --> 00:04:02.253
(upbeat music) These speakers sound great.

00:04:05.310 --> 00:04:08.173
I am really surprised.

00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:14.470
Wow. All right. Big thanks to Grid Studio for sponsoring this video.

00:04:14.470 --> 00:04:18.860

So, get your Grid Studio frame, or enter to win at the link down below.

00:04:45.950 --> 00:04:51.600
HDR works immediately. It's rated for 700 nits typical, 1200 nits peak.

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,

00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:00.730
is that it doesn't seem to be in a vivid ugly display mode,

00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:04.910
out of the box. I'm gonna double check that. Oh, it is vivid.

00:05:04.910 --> 00:05:09.498
Oh, so saturated does it all the time, and vivid does it only sometimes.

00:05:09.498 --> 00:05:14.480
Interesting. Yeah, it really wasn't that bad or noticeable.

00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.960
Sometimes you fire up a new phone, you're just like, oh wow.

00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:21.560
And you just have to change it immediately. Yeah. It's really not that bad.

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.713
It's just a cooler color temperature.

00:05:24.713 --> 00:05:28.010
Huh. That's still pretty weak.

00:05:28.010 --> 00:05:31.070
You know what? If we start a fire, at least we've got it on camera.

00:05:31.070 --> 00:05:35.080
What could go wrong? - [David] What's, uh, three two-letter words, that mean small?

00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:38.726
- Okay, hit me. - [David] Is it in? - Is it in. Okay.

00:05:38.726 --> 00:05:43.133
Okay. (David laughing) It could be that this receptacle is just really loose.

00:05:43.133 --> 00:05:46.460
(David laughing) - [David] No! - Are you guys ready?

00:05:46.460 --> 00:05:51.370
The time is now 16:03 and it's at 38%.

00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:54.159
Quick charge. - [David] Whoa.

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:59.445
- Charging rapidly. It's at 41% now. - [David] Wow.

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.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.880
If it was me personally, I wouldn't use a super fast charging speed like this.

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?

00:06:12.650 --> 00:06:16.057
- [David] Yeah. - To 51. - [David] Wow. - [Jono] Wow. (laughs)

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,

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:24.710
who just cannot manage your battery,

00:06:24.710 --> 00:06:27.780
I could see this working for you. And another thing to consider,

00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:31.290
is that part of managing your battery's health,

00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:36.130
is not charging it too fast. But another big part of managing your battery's health,

00:06:36.130 --> 00:06:40.090
is not letting it discharge too low or charge too high.

00:06:40.090 --> 00:06:45.090
So if you were able to stay in like a 20% to 80% range,

00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:48.810
all the time, by just quickly juicing it for a little bit,

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,

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.

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.

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%,

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?

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.540
They said 15 minutes for a full charge, but something you've gotta keep in mind,

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.

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.

00:07:31.450 --> 00:07:35.000
Okay. I'm actually kind of more curious about that. - [David] Yep. Switch them out.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.710
- Let's do it. The time is now 16:09. Okay.

00:07:38.710 --> 00:07:42.010
While we play around with the camera on this one then,

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,

00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:55.430
of this camera is not amazing. I would describe this smoothing anti-shake as not amazing,

00:07:55.700 --> 00:07:57.713
but definitely functional.

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:03.800
It works better as an anti-shake than as smoothing,

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.880
'cause when you're moving around, it kind of doesn't really know what to do.

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,

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,

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,

00:08:23.770 --> 00:08:30.510
especially with the speaker sounding this good, and like 120 Hertz display, that's damn reasonable.

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%.

00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:39.260
Oh, I wonder if it took a little while, to figure out its shizz.

00:08:39.260 --> 00:08:42.620
Does it actually have to be powered on to use hyper charge?

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:45.630
Okay. It's going-- Whoa. Holy crap.

00:08:45.630 --> 00:08:49.660
Hold on. Boost. - [David] Oh yeah, baby. Let's go.

00:08:49.660 --> 00:08:53.610
- Okay. Now it's going. Since we booted up, we went from two to five,

00:08:53.610 --> 00:08:57.570
like it just-- Seven. It is fricking going.

00:08:57.570 --> 00:09:01.220
Nine, 10. Especially when you're almost dead.

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:04.800
This thing fricking goes. 11.

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:08.910
Confirmed. It's really fricking fast.

00:09:08.910 --> 00:09:11.960
16. Thanks for wat-- 17.

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.920
