SHAREit contributes to improving Bangladesh's digital infrastructure
Online and offline digital content and file-sharing platform SHAREit is contributing to improving Bangladesh's digital infrastructure by making e-commerce and mobile financial service platforms serve underserved consumers.
As Covid hit, the use of online platforms exponentially grew with a significant surge in online shopping and payments.
Taking that into account, SHAREit has collaborated with brands like e-commerce platform Daraz and mobile financial service provider Nagad to understand and reach the potential customer base.

It also facilitates the growth of other app-based businesses through its ad platform by curating campaigns to help brands reach out to an incremental and almost untapped audience.
To do this, SHAREit emphasises its localisation efforts, analysing the cultural background and language environment of a target market and adapting the app's design, interaction, and functionality accordingly.
"SHAREit unlocks the ability for many types of phones to share many types of content without the need for an internet connection or mobile data consumption and is downloadable for free," Karam Malhotra, partner and global vice-president of SHAREit Group, said.

"Earlier, people were happy to play a 10MB game. Now, they're not happy playing anything less than a 1GB game," Karam says. "It went from Nokia's Snake to Call of Duty. The amount of data users required grew by 100x."
Malhotra adds that the quality of mobile internet connectivity remains poor in emerging countries, and people there also worry about the high cost of mobile data consumption.
These challenges around downloading content from the internet have shut people out from participating fully in the digital economy. An alternative for sharing content and apps would make a difference.

"Near-distance peer-to-peer is the world's leading offline-online social ecosystem," Malhotra says. "SHAREit enables a digital economy we don't even know about."
A study by Google shows that most people discover new apps through friends and family.
Malhotra says: "Every popular game has at least 30 imitators. How do you know which is the legitimate one that doesn't have viruses, malware, or spyware? You ask your friend."

OPPO Find X5 Pro: Review of the latest flagship device
OPPO's next high-priced flagship Find X5 Pro arrives before this year's MWC trade show. This device is going head-to-head with the other favorite top-end device of 2022 so far. Although the OPPO Find X5 Pro does not have a pen, it has many more exciting features. The phone is expected to come by 14th March 2022. This article will discuss the specs, features, and price of OPPO Find X5 Pro. Stay with us!
Key Features of OPPO Find X5 Pro
Design
As with the Find X3 Pro from 2021, this year's model is a particularly impressive flagship. The Find X5 Pro — OPPO skipped the Find X4 – is brimming with features and also happens to be the kind of phone that attracts admiring stares when users take it out of their pockets on their daily commute.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro's design is unique. The unibody design element returns but with minor modifications to the overall structure. A ceramic layer wraps perfectly around the back camera housing, replacing the previous model's glass panel. This, along with the rest of the handset's design, results in a phone that appears as bit as opulent as its four-figure price indicates.

Another minor adjustment is that the angle of the camera housing's bottom edge has been ergonomically grooved to accommodate your index finger while holding the phone. This not only makes the phone more pleasant to carry with one hand but also helps prevent smudges on the rear camera lenses caused by fingers. Additionally, it adds a touch of aesthetic flair to the Find X5 Pro.
The Find X5 Pro is available in two color options: Glaze Black and Ceramic White. While the black model's mirrored surface made a wonderful impression, it was a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
Display
The phone's screen is 6.7 inches and has a QHD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120 frames per second. This display supports 10-bit colors, HDR10+ playback, and a touch resolution of 1,000Hz. Additionally, similar to the S22 Ultra, the minimum refresh rate has been reduced to 1Hz, extending battery life while doing basic tasks like reading an ebook.

Concerning the screen's real quality, everything is in order. With four color options to select from, the Natural mode is the most accurate, covering 94 percent of the sRGB gamut, 96 percent of the total volume, and an average Delta E of 1.31. Apart from slightly increased saturation in certain red tones, every color looks perfect.
It's also as brilliant as the top AMOLED displays on the market, with a peak brightness of 483cd/m2 and excellent contrast. The HDR brightness, on the other hand, was a little on the low side, peaking at roughly 725cd/m2 — by comparison, the iPhone 13 Pro Max achieves an eye-searing 1,176cd/m2.
Rear Cameras
A sizable portion of the OPPO Find X5 Pro's launch event was devoted to the phone's cameras and with cause. This year's device has three cameras on the back: a primary 50MP sensor, a 50MP 110-degree ultrawide sensor, and a 13MP 2x telephoto zoom.

OPPO's brand-new dedicated imaging NPU, MariSilicion X, is located on the motherboard independently from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and is responsible for all image processing. According to OPPO, by offloading computing power from the phone's primary Qualcomm chipset. This new NPU enables a new feature called 4K Ultra Night Video, which can capture images in low-light conditions as low as 5 lux with improved color distribution, dynamic range, detail, and reduced visual noise.
Front Camera
On the front of the device, a single 32MP (f/2.4) selfie camera is housed in a hole-punch notch in the top-left corner of the display. This makes use of a new "Intelligent FoV" technology that adjusts the field of view between 80 and 90 degrees based on the number of people in the frame, and it works rather well.
Performance and Software
The Find X5 Pro is among the first smartphones that have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile processor. This new CPU, clocked at 3GHz, is manufactured using a 4nm technology, offering greater performance and power efficiency over the Snapdragon 888 it replaces. This new processor is equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable internal storage.
Read OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Review: Is it worth it?
And it's a quite nippy tiny creature. This is our first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone, and performance was rather impressive in our benchmarks, despite the relatively minor improvements over the previous model. The OPPO Find X5 Pro scored a single-core result of 976 and a multi-core score of 3,496 in Geekbench 5 – if you're keeping track, this implies a minor performance gain of up to 7%.
Battery and Charging
The battery capacity of the Find X5 Pro has been upgraded from 4,500mAh to 5,000mAh. The phone's wired charging speed has been increased to a maximum of 80W, while wireless charging has been increased to 50W. It can also reverse wireless charging devices up to 30W if they are placed on the back, and the notification drawer option is enabled.
As with its predecessor, the Find X5 Pro is powered by Android, with OPPO's ColorOS overlay on top. ColorOS 12.1 introduces a slew of new productivity features, including a new one-handed mode and floating windows — basically, the ability to layer programs on top of one another.

Price of OPPO Find X5 Pro in Bangladesh
For all the premium features of the phone, OPPO is charging about EUR 999 or Rs. 84500 or BDT 95703.77 for the basic variant (8GB/256 GB). The upper variant (12GB/256GB), the price rises to EUR 1299 or Rs. 109900 or BDT 124471.53. The conversion rate here is Rs. 1 = BDT 1.13. However, the official price of OPPO Find X5 Pro in Bangladesh can vary due to diverse issues like tax, company policy, etc.
Conclusion
The OPPO Find X5 Pro is indeed a sight to see. It is a really lovely device, and there is truly nothing else quite like it in terms of design. As with its predecessor, it's a gorgeous piece of hardware with high-end components and excellent battery life. However, the finest feature is the mid-range pricing; OPPO is undercutting Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra, indicating that it is on to a winner.
However, if customers can tolerate the additional cost, the phone may still be worth purchasing. The phone may not be so visually appealing, but its performance is comparable, the zoomed photos are better, and it includes a pen.

Walton Primo H10 Review: Affordable Smartphone with Moderate Features
Walton, a Bangladeshi electronics maker, produces made-in-Bangladesh phones for both local and international markets. Walton is praised for producing affordable smart gadgets and maintaining standards. The firm has established itself on a certain level and is now attempting to add quality and beauty to its equipment. In February 2022, Walton released its latest device Primo H10. This article will go through the many components and functionalities of the phone.
Key Features of Walton Primo H10
Design
The Walton Primo H10 is huge, but due to its weight distribution, users will hardly notice. The front has a large display that is shielded by a glass panel for further protection against drops. The bezels are large, which prospective buyers must accept, given the price tag.
The back is virtually identical to that of the other premier phones, with the exception of a triple rear camera arrangement in the extreme top-left corner and a "Walton" branding in the bottom left corner. Although the rear camera module is somewhat raised above the back panel, Walton has integrated a grooved, non-textured gradient light reflecting back design that covers the whole back surface. This seems to be a fingerprint magnet, necessitating the usage of rear coverings.
Read OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G Review: Is it worth it?
A 3.5mm jack is placed on the bottom with a micro USB connector, a loudspeaker, and a primary microphone. There is a dual SIM + memory card slot on the right and a power button and volume rockers on the left.
Display
Walton's budget-friendly Primo H10 smartphone has a 6.52-inch IPS Display with a 720 x 1600-pixel resolution. It has a 20:9 aspect ratio and is equipped with IPS INCELL Technology and 2.5D Glass. Its regular maximum brightness is 400 nits.
Consumers may give the display a significant thumbs down owing to its low PPI density. Due to its aspect ratio, it is ideal for watching movies and playing games on a massive screen. However, it is restricted to HD+, which results in a viewing density of 269 PPI. To be honest, this will be a major upgrade for anybody upgrading from a basic phone. However, people will notice the difference if they are descending from a Full HD resolution; thus, this is subjective.
Read Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Review: Major Pros, Cons
The colours are washed out and lifeless, and there is also a lack of colour fidelity. This is, however, the best an entry-level smartphone can give. Users may still pay a little more on the Primo H10 and other smartphones to have a better display.
Rear Cameras
The Primo H10 has a single back camera with a 13MP wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth lens. Walton had to make certain concessions in order to maintain a lower price point than its predecessor. The Primo H10 is equipped with three rear cameras and one front camera.
In terms of the rear camera configuration in the daytime, the sensor is capable of producing decent images under optimal lighting conditions. The details are adequate, the colour reproduction is acceptable, and the photographs may even be compared to those of other high-end Walton smartphones. Due to the absence of a wider dynamic range on the primary camera, images may degrade somewhat, and HDR photographs are time-consuming. By and large, the photographs taken with the rear camera are mediocre.

Front Camera
Users will get a single 8MP front-facing camera capable of shooting high-quality photos throughout the day, which should come as no surprise considering the sensor's size. Portrait mode is available for both the selfie and rear cameras. This is a powerful feature given the price point of the phone.
Portrait mode is effective at detecting edges but suffers when the subject is difficult to recognize. In summary, the portrait mode on the Primo H10 is a wonderful addition.
Performance and Software
The device is powered by a sluggish MediaTek Helio G35 Gaming Processor made in a 12nm process. It has an octa-core design with a top speed of 2.3GHz. It is equipped with an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU, 64GB of internal storage, and 4GB of RAM.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10 2022 Review: What’s new in the refreshed variant?
It's a budget smartphone equipped with a powerful CPU. Users will have no difficulty utilizing the smartphone for everyday tasks like calling, texting, browsing YouTube videos, and surfing. Unlocking the apps, on the other hand, might take an abnormal length of time. While switching between applications, the phone does slow down somewhat. The delay is rather evident when switching between two games or between a game and an app.
Users will be unable to fully experience visually demanding games such as Call of Duty: Mobile or PUBG Mobile. They'll have to resort to their Lite mode, which means reducing graphics and frame rates unless they want to cook with their eyes but lack a cooktop; in that case, they may use their phones.
Users, on the other hand, may easily play less visually taxing games on their smartphone, such as Mobile Legends: Alto's Odyssey.

Battery and Charging
The Walton Primo H10 has a large 5,000 mAh battery. It is above average, which, considering the fact that people are using a barebones smartphone, may signal a longer battery life. That's over two days of battery life in the hands of an average user. By contrast, individuals may obtain an incredible 5 to 6 hours of SoT. Regardless of how well the battery performs as a consequence of the entry-level SoC, it is an important point of debate.
Price in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the Walton Primo H10 is available in a single configuration: 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. The phone costs about BDT 12,999.
Conclusion
The Walton Primo H10 is completely unsuitable for consideration. It remains one of the cheapest smartphones on the market. It emphasizes making affordable phones with a maximum battery, display, and CPU capacity. Walton has retained a lot of aspects from the previous primo's design, such as the CPU. It will be the best choice for consumers searching for a truly budget-friendly phone with maximum functionalities.

OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G Review: Is it worth it?
Oppo's Reno series phones have struck all the right chords. And that seems to be the case once again with the company's current flagship, the Reno7 Pro released in China on 3rd December 2021. The phone looks and feels luxurious, and it also functions well. And when adding some quite powerful cameras to the mix, the phone appears to hold the good will of OPPO. This post will focus on the detailed review of OPPO Reno7 5G.
Key Features of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G
Design
The design of the majority of OPPO's smartphones is excellent, and the Reno7 Pro is no exception. The Reno6 Pro came with a curved display that melded into a similarly curved back. This gave the phone a streamlined appearance and made it more pleasant to carry. This time around, OPPO chose flat edges for the Reno7 Pro. While the design is not novel, OPPO has done an excellent job of making the phone appear and feel amazing.
Read Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Review: Major Pros, Cons
Numerous OEMs have recently embraced the flat-edge design, but OPPO has nailed it with the Reno7 Pro. The phone is not overly huge, which makes it more comfortable to handle, and the chamfered edges are not too sharp, which prevents the phone from biting into your palm. The metallic chassis has a luxurious feel to it and is capable of standing on its own when placed on a level surface.
Naturally, OPPO has also flattened up the phone's back and front to fit the overall look. Additionally, weight management has been done in such a manner that the phone seems light when used for lengthy periods of time. The Reno7 Pro currently has the best-feeling flat-edged Android phone.
Display
As previously stated, the display, along with the frame and back, has been flattened down on the Reno7 Pro. The Reno6 Pro had curved borders on both sides of the display. That has now been removed, leaving a flat display with a hole-punch cutout in the top-left corner.
Read Best Upcoming Phones in March 2022 in Bangladesh: Official and Unofficial
It retains the same AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and 90Hz refresh rate as the Reno6 Pro. The colors are vibrant, and the viewing experience is on par with that of other premium smartphones equipped with OLED screens. The 6.55-inch display is reasonably sized, ensuring that the phone does not seem unwieldy to handle or operate. One criticism that some may have about this monitor is that its refresh rate is limited to 90Hz, whereas rivals in this price range offer 120Hz panels.
Rear Cameras
The Reno7 Pro's main 50MP camera captures images that are attractive to the eye in the majority of lighting settings. The colors and dynamic range both look fantastic in daylight. Natural bokeh is very beautiful when taking close-up images. The shots are often on the colder side, which some people enjoy, particularly those who want photographs with a greater contrast level.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10 2022 Review: What’s new in the refreshed variant?
Even in low-light circumstances, the phone's built-in Night Mode enables it to shoot high-quality images. Although there is a significant loss of quality and the white balance may get slightly off, Oppo has done well with the camera.
The ultra-wide lens falls short of the main camera's capability and is a disappointment. At this pricing, an 8MP sensor seems to be a cost-cutting tactic. In comparison to the main camera, the details are weak, and the colors seem drab. The third camera on the rear is a 2MP macro lens that serves no use.
Front Camera
Selfies shot with the 32 MP selfie camera appear sharp, with vivid colors and an excellent dynamic range. Skin tones are somewhat wrong due to the fact that it tends to brighten the face slightly, but not dramatically. Edge detection also looks fantastic in portrait mode. If you often snap selfies or create short-form content for social media, you'll like the OPPO Reno7 Pro's front-facing camera.
Read Walton Primo NX6 Review with Price in Bangladesh
Performance and Software
There isn't much to discuss here since the OPPO Reno7 Pro employs the same Dimensity 1200 chipset as the Reno 6Pro. According to OPPO, the Reno7 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 Max SoC, which was created in collaboration with OPPO. However, there is no change in the way the CPU or GPU operates, and the CPU's clock rates are likewise the same. The sole difference between the Reno7 Pro and its predecessor as a consequence of this partnership between MediaTek and OPPO is that the Reno7 Pro displays better images on display, or so OPPO claims.
The Reno7 Pro has no trouble operating the wide variety of programs and games that you use on a daily basis. It performs like a flagship phone, which is exactly what you should expect from the phone. For those curious, BGMI can be played at 60 frames per second on the majority of occasions. Some delays from time to time can be noticed, particularly during hot drops. If you play more demanding games, such as Genshin Impact, you may experience occasional frame dips.
Read OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Review: Is it worth it?
Battery and Charger
The Reno7 Pro has a 4,500mAh battery that is easily powered through our whole day of social media applications, surfing, snapping photographs, a 20-minute video conversation on Google Duo, and binge-watching. The phone is thin and light without sacrificing battery life.
When you run out of energy, the Reno7 Pro charges at 65W with the included charger. It takes around 35 minutes to be charged from 5% to 100%, which is rather astounding. Once again, these findings are identical to those obtained with the Reno6 Pro. There has been no change.

Price of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G in Bangladesh
The phone comes with a sticker price of Rs 39,999 in India. For Bangladesh, the price can be around BDT 45684. The conversion rate here is 1 INR = 1.14 BDT.
Conclusion
With its slim profile, attractive design, and rapid charging, the OPPO Reno7 Pro embodies the essence of the Reno series. The Orbit Breathing Light, the AI camera functions, and the gorgeous micro-etched rear panel are some features that play by the side of the phone. If you are not a dedicated mobile gamer and are looking for a smartphone with a strong camera and a sleek design, the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is an excellent choice.

Weather satellite rockets to orbit to monitor US West
America’s newest weather satellite blasted off Tuesday to improve wildfire and flood forecasting across the western half of the country.
It’s the replacement for a satellite launched exactly four years ago, which ended up with a cooling line blockage that hindered its main camera.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the new model is redesigned to avoid the problem. It will be designated GOES-18 after reaching an equatorial orbit 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) up. The first images should come next year, following months of testing.
This is the third in a nearly $11.7 billion series of four GOES weather satellites that are among the most advanced ever built; the cost includes decades of operation. The first soared in 2016 to track Atlantic hurricanes and other East Coast weather, while the second lifted off March 1, 2018. The fourth is set to launch in 2024.
The first two satellites in the series captured video of the rocket soaring out over the Atlantic from Cape Canaveral.

The NASA-supported satellites “provide the only continuous coverage of weather and hazardous environmental conditions in the Western Hemisphere” said NOAA program director Pam Sullivan.
“Having these multiple ways of looking at the Earth gives us a lot more and a lot better information for these critical forecasts to save lives, protect property,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said following liftoff.GOES-17 — which is losing as much as 10% of its data because of overheating camera detectors — will be moved aside as an orbiting spare, once the newly launched craft is ready to take its place next year over the Pacific. Each is the size of a small school bus, weighing more than 6,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms).
Besides observing conditions here on Earth, the satellites also monitor solar flares and the resulting space weather.
Despite its flaw, GOES-17 beamed back stunning pictures of the Tonga volcanic eruption in January. The new satellite should provide even better images of such events, according to NOAA scientists.
Tuesday’s liftoff aboard United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket coincided with the opening of the so-called meteorological spring. The three-month season begins March 1, as defined by meteorologists and climatologists for record-keeping. This year’s spring equinox falls on March 20.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Review: Major Pros, Cons
When it comes to the premium mid-range section of the smartphone market, Xiaomi has been the absolute dominating force. The company makes some of the best mid-range devices and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is a testament to that. The phone has been announced along with the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ scheduled to be launched in India on 9th March 2022. So, is this slated to be the next budget king? Or is it just another run-off-the-mill device from Xiaomi? Let’s find out.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Key Features
Design and Build Quality
Even though there has been a considerable buzz with the device for some time, the phone fails to live up to the hype. Especially in the build quality. The phone has a glass front and back which already sets it up to be a premium-looking device. However, the plastic frame all around is a complete letdown. Moreover, the plastic isn’t that durable and it gets scratched or dented easily.

Other than that, it’s a Redmi reminiscent phone all around. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 which is a nice touch. The right of the device features the power button and the volume rocker. The power button also doubles as a fingerprint authenticator here. The left of the device is left completely flush.
An exciting aspect of the Redmi Note 11 Pro is the JBL collaboration. The stereo speakers on the device are tuned by JBL and the branding is clearly on the top mic of the device alongside the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The bottom of the phone houses the main speaker, the Type C port, and the hybrid sim tray which supports a dedicated micro SDXC alongside the two sim slots.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10 2022 Review: What’s new in the refreshed variant?
Overall, the phone looks good from the design point of view. But it definitely could’ve been better on the build quality spectrum.
Display
Xiaomi has always provided some of the best display experiences in a budget segment. The Redmi Note 11 Pro is no different as well. The phone features a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display. The spec alone should tell enough regarding the viewing experience. It is just as crisp and sharp as expected. The median 700 nits brightness along with the 1200 nits peak brightness makes for an impressive outdoor viewing experience.
The display might not feel as profound as the Samsung Super AMOLED panels. But there aren’t any blue tint or color shifts here. Also, the display supports HDR 10 content so streaming services can be fully utilized.
Read Walton Primo NX6 Review with Price in Bangladesh
Camera
Moving onto the camera, the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G has a triple camera setup with the main sensor being a whopping 108 MP one. The f/1.9 aperture camera can take some impressive shots which becomes even more apparent when developed from the raw file. Why raw file? The sad truth about camera lenses is that a higher MP count doesn’t really translate to better images. Much of it is determined by post-processing as well. That is why Redmi cannot achieve with a 108 MP sensor what Pixel can with a 12 MP one.
But critical aspects aside, the lens is still a very capable one. The sensor can capture a decent amount of dynamic range keeping the subject in focus. The color might feel like on the cooler side but that too can be post-processed with editing software.
There are a few noticeable noises and grains in an artificial or dimly lit environment. But that is just nit-picking a capable lens at this point.

There is an additional 8 MP wide-angle shooter along with a 2MP macro lens. The ultrawide lens can take decent images with a wide subject base. For a powerful main sensor, the videography is limited to just 1080P at 30 fps. The reason will be discussed in the next point.
The selfie camera is the standard 16 MP one as seen on other similarly priced Xiaomi devices. It gets the job done without doing anything out of the box.
Processor and Performance
The global variant of the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, the one being reviewed in this article is significantly different from the one available in the Chinese market with the same name. And that’s especially apparent on the processor end. The Chinese variant features MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor which provides flagship-level performance.

But the global variant has a mid-range Snapdragon 695 5G Processor which falls well short of the Density 920 spec-wise. Part of the reason why videography is limited on the global variant.
But the 6 Nm architecture also packs some punch. It features an octa-core setup with 2 2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold and 6 1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver chips coupled with Adreno 619 GPU.
So, how’s the gaming on this device? Pretty decent. Users will be able to play all the leading 3D titles without any hiccup or frame drops. But that comes at the cost of heating. The device gets really hot really fast. But the device manages to hold onto performance regardless. Day-to-day tasks like browsing the web and social media are a breeze in the park. The phone seems to be a perfect blend of different needs which is really great to see considering the price.

Battery and Charge Time
The battery on the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is a 5000 mAh one. However, Redmi changed the charge game with their 67 W fast charging feature. The phone can charge up to 50% in 15 minutes and a full 100% in just 42 minutes. The numbers are insane and definitely the fastest in any price bracket.
Price of Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G in Bangladesh
The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is not officially available in Bangladesh yet. The price of the device in India is expected to be 24,490 INR for the 8/128 GB variant. The price translates to 27,963 BDT (1 INR = 1.14 BDT). However, the price may be different in Bangladesh depending on different factors like supply, tax, and company policy.
Verdict
So, who is this device for? Pretty much anyone looking for a performance-oriented device that ticks some additional boxes. There is a smooth display, amazing battery life, fast processor, and decent camera. The only gripe here is the build quality. Other than that, Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is another market disrupting device from Xiaomi.
