Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge Review: What’s New?
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge has been released on January 12, 2022. It launched alongside the flagship Xiaomi 11i which is arguably the best phone yet by the brand. However, the HyperCharge variant has a few smart tricks up its sleeves even though both devices are virtually the same. So, what’s so hyper about the 11i HyperCharge? Let's find out.
Key Specs of Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge
Design and Build Quality
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge shares the same DNA and builds as the Xiaomi 11i. As a result, much of this review will be a reflection on the Xiaomi 11i and what’s different from it. The design features a standard glass front and back combination. The front and black glass are complemented by a stainless-steel frame. The frame along with the glass components gives the phone its premium feel and weight. The front glass features scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 5. The phone is a bit thick at 8.3 mm but the 207 gm of evenly distributed weight gives the phone a nice hand feel.
The phone features a volume rocker and a power button on the right side. There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top with the sim card tray and stereo speaker. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom with nothing on the left.
Read Vivo V23 Pro Review: Does the quality concur with the look?
The flat and square edges of the phone reminisce of iPhones in every way. But the small punch hole camera on the front acts as the saving grace. Overall, the matte premium finish with nicely placed tactile keys makes this phone a true flagship from Xiaomi.
Display
Xiaomi didn’t leave anything to be desired on the screens. The phone features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The phone comes at an FHD+ resolution with 1080 by 2400 pixels.
The display supports HDR 10 content. So all the new Netflix releases will look crisper and sharper than ever. The phone has an average brightness of 700 nits and it can peak at 1200 nits under direct sunlight.
Read Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: What Will It Offer?
The display is as expected from an AMOLED panel. The colors look bright and accurate with no visible distortion. The viewing angles are also excellent on this device. Moreover, Xiaomi offers a range of color calibration options for the display.
Camera
Just like the Xiaomi 11i, the HyperCharge version also has a triple camera module. However, the main camera module shone over anything in their previous flagship iterations and this one is no different. The main sensor is 108 MP f/1.9 26 mm wide. With pixel capture of 0.7 micron and dual pixel PDAF, this sensor is crazy good at capturing the details.
The other two supporting sensors are an 8 MP ultrawide shooter and a 2 MP macro lens.
The main back camera can shoot 4K at 30 fps, 1080P at either 30,60 or 120 fps, and 720P at a whooping 960 fps slo-mo. The included EIS and OIS makes video shooting a breeze without any external stabilizer.
Read Walton Primo S8 Review: The Local Phone Unveils Powerful Processor
The front camera features a 16 MP wide-angle shooter which can take pretty detailed selfies.
Speaking of the camera samples, the sensors nails in outdoor conditions. Details and colors look accurate. Though the sensor has a slight tendency to over-expose the background under direct sunlight.
The phone also does well in artificial and low light. The dedicated night mode does a great job of capturing great details in a dimly lit environment.
Overall, the sharpness and details are commendable. It's nothing to rival the likes of Pixel 6 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro, but it’s the best in its price range.

Processor and Performance
The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G. The chipset is built on the super power-efficient 6 nm structure. The octa-core processor features 2 2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 chips for top-of-the-line performance. The processor is complemented by the Mali-G68 M4 GPU. The processor and the GPU do an excellent job of handling whatever is thrown at it. Whether it’s high intensive 3D games or light social media scrolls, this phone is optimized to handle everything with ease. Now there might be questions about the battery life graphics-intensive usage. But the latter point will discuss how revolutionary this device is when it comes to charge and charge cycles.
The phone comes in either 6 or 8 GB RAM coupled with 128 or 256 GB ROM. The Os is the same MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. When MIUI first launched, there were a lot of complaints about its bloatware and bugs. Not to mention how it significantly slows down the device over time. However, Xiaomi came a long way from that. MIUI has become far better-wise, adding new and innovative features to make the user experience more unique. It will still feel like an iOS rip-off for the new user. But given how MIUI is now, that is not necessarily a bad thing at all.

Battery and Charge Time
Now let us talk about the all-important battery. The name HyperCharge already makes things obvious that there’s something unique about the battery here. From the outside, it might seem like a downgrade considering the HyperCharge variant has a 4500 mAh battery. A good 600 mAh short compared to the Xiaomi 11i.
But this phone has a staggering 120W fast charging. Yes, let that sink in for a moment. While 65W fast charging is becoming a common scene, this is a power jump like no other. Xiaomi advertises that the battery will go from 0 to 100% in just 15 minutes! This completely changes the outlook on how a device is charged and used. Now charging isn’t a time-consuming, hassle-worth task anymore. It's just plug-in, get ready, and the device is already topped for the day.
Price of Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in Bangladesh
Xiaomi has not launched the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in Bangladesh yet. However, going by the Chinese market, the official price at launch should be around 32,000 BDT for the 6/128 GB variant.
Read Xiaomi Civi Review: Does it offer value for money?
Verdict
To sum things up, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is a great phone with some pretty cool features. Xiaomi has already delivered aggressive specs for the price and this one is no different. Be it the build quality, camera, or processor, the HyperCharge shines in every way. And if that wasn’t enough, the 120W fast charging will forever spoil anyone with its ridiculous speed. So is this phone a great buy at this price? If MIUI doesn’t bother the buyer, buying this phone should be an instant decision.

Vivo V23 Pro Review: Does the quality concur with the look?
Vivo's V-series has evolved from mass-market mid-rangers to a performance beast that challenges the limits of industrial designs and ergonomics. This time, Vivo launches V23 Pro, a spec monster crammed with high-end technology and a cryptic colour-changing design that sets the tone for the new year. The phone has its first appearance on 5th January 2022. Let's check out the key features, and price of Vivo V23 Pro in Bangladesh.
Key Features of Vivo V23 Pro
Design
Vivo is no stranger to oddly shaped phones, but with the V23 Pro, the brand has excelled itself. From a distance, the gadget resembles a standard Android phone, with a sleek frame supporting the phone's curved display and swooping back together. Having said that, up close, users will see that the phone's shimmering back begins to change colour the moment sunlight strikes it.
To illustrate, Vivo has used Fluorite AG glass in the V23 Pro, which reacts to UV rays. It changes the exposed area of the phone's normally golden back to a blue-ish colour when exposed. The colour-changing effect is as distinctive as it is mesmerizing, and users will be hard pushed to find any phone on the market with a comparable design attribute. To summarize, the V23 Pro adds a creative twist to a traditional smartphone design.
Read Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: What Will It Offer?
Regrettably, no. The phone's Stardust Black colour option does not have a colour-changing back. According to the firm, the impact should last around 18-24 months, at which point the majority of consumers would transfer or upgrade to a newer phone.
Display
The Vivo V23 Pro comes with a 6.56-inch curved AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. The panel delivers a refresh rate of 90Hz, which isn't the fastest by last year's standards but is still a notch faster than smartphones with 60Hz displays.
Now, if anyone has never been a fan of curved-screen phones, the V23 Pro is unlikely to alter his mind. To that end, despite its attractive design, the phone's display suffers from poor palm rejection. Additionally, the panel ships with a very large notch at the top, which takes some getting used to.
Read Walton Primo S8 Review: The Local Phone Unveils Powerful Processor
Fortunately, the screen is quite bright and maxes out at 800 nits, allowing users to use the phone outside without straining their eyes. Additionally, the gadget has excellent viewing angles, and users will see no irregular backlight leakage along the display's curved borders. Additionally, the gadget does allow HD playback from OTT services such as Prime Video.
Rear Cameras
The Vivo V23 Pro has a triple camera panel with a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP Omni vision ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor.
The images taken with the phone's main sensor are less than ideal. Indeed, when users go through the gallery included below, they will see that photographs taken during the day lack detail. The same can be seen in the picture with the blue generator grid, where the tree on the left-hand side of the frame looks to have been lifted directly from a watercolour painting.
Read Infinix Hot 11 Play Review with Price in Bangladesh
The leaves, in particular, lack substance, and the flower pots on the lower right look to be mushy as well.
Fortunately, the sensor's colour science is not excessive, and scenes are often represented realistically. In low light, the smartphone's primary sensor performs an adequate job of keeping scene details. The photographs are extremely grainy, especially when using the night mode.
Surprisingly, the V23 Pro captures exceptional closeups with plenty of clarity and natural-looking colours. There is a notable difference in colour temperature between the regular and macro lenses. Indeed, macro sensor photos seem faded out. The photographs taken with the device's ultra-wide sensor are also lacking, with the sensor straining to properly expose the frame. Additionally, the shot's details are sparse.

Front Cameras
For selfies, the gadget has a 50MP primary selfie camera augmented by an additional 8MP lens for wide-angle selfies or groupies. The smartphone's 50MP selfie camera captures stunning selfies. Now, If anyone is trying to publish a faultless self-portrait on social media, the phone comes equipped with a slew of beauty options that may come in useful. Additionally, the phone has a unique dual-flush array above the selfie camera module, significantly improving the quality of low-light selfies.
Performance and Software
Devices powered by MediaTek's Density 9000 SoC are imminent, yet Vivo has opted for the tried-and-true Dimensity 1200 CPU in its current offering. To illustrate, the Density 1200 was one of the most VFM SoCs in 2021, and the chipset continues to amaze, racking up impressive results in simulated testing applications.
The tablet also performed well while multitasking, which may be attributed to the device's lightning-fast UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR4x RAM, which significantly decreased load times when switching between various applications. The smartphone can run visually intensive games in competitive settings. Indeed, users may configure PUBG: New State to its maximum graphics and frame rate settings.

Additionally, BGMI performed well at the HDR visuals, and Ultra FPS presets. Now, users will need to adjust the settings to the 'Smooth' preset in order to get 60 frames per second in the game. Despite this, there are no noticeable frame dips during intense gunfights. Nonetheless, the V23 Pro, like several other phones powered by the Density 1200 SoC, overheats under heavy use. Indeed, the device throttled to about 77% of its entire performance in our CPU Throttle test, one of the lowest values ever.
Battery and Charger
The V23 Pro is powered by a 4,300mAh battery, which, regrettably, does not last long enough to carry users through a long work week. Indeed, the test was conducted with the phone plugged in at about 6 p.m., with my use consisting of viewing YouTube videos, transferring audio to my Bluetooth earbuds, and interacting with people through a variety of social media and networking applications. Fortunately, the smartphone comes with a lightning-fast 44W charger that charges the handset in a little over an hour.
Price of V23 Pro in Bangladesh
The phone is not officially launched in Bangladesh. Converted from the Indian currency, the price of the phone can start around BDT 44995. The conversion rate here is 1 INR = 1.15 BDT.
Read Top 10 Best Upcoming Smartphones in Bangladesh in January 2022
Bottom Line
For the price, the smartphone has several interesting features, including a colour-changing back and a pair of competent selfie cameras. Nonetheless, the smartphone's price puts it in direct competition with more powerful and feature-rich handsets powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chipset. For example, the iQOO 7 Legend retails for around the same price and boasts superior performance, more competent back cameras, and far quicker wired charging. As a result, It can be suggested that the Vivo V23 Pro is for the aficionados of selfies. For the rest, the market is brimming with more well-rounded alternatives.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: What Will It Offer?
Samsung Electronics is poised to introduce the Galaxy S21 FE 5G. The first look of the phone was released on the 4th January 2022. The S21 FE 5G is a smartphone that combines select premium features from the Galaxy S21 with a well-rounded design to allow individuals to discover and express themselves. It has many of the Galaxy S21's most popular features, including an eye-catching appearance, strong performance, a pro-grade camera, and a seamless ecosystem connection. This article will elaborate on the important features of the phone.
Key Features of Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G
Design
Samsung originally used the 'FE' moniker a few years ago to refer to a simplified version of one of its flagship products. People have become great admirers of the Galaxy S20 FE, which was an easier recommendation than the normal S20 in many respects, thanks to its slightly bigger display and better Snapdragon CPU. Not to mention the lower cost.
The S21 FE, on the other hand, seems to be a more difficult sell — at least on initial impressions. For starters, Samsung made the ordinary S21 handset more affordable than its predecessor and included some of the FE range's more mid-range capabilities from the start. Among them were a plastic body, a flat display, and a lower-resolution display. The S21 first seemed like a FE gadget, which raises the issue of how important this is.
Read Walton Primo S8 Review: The Local Phone Unveils Powerful Processor
As soon as the S21 FE gets removed from its packaging, it will feel familiar. On the back, users will get a camera module that is remarkably similar to the Galaxy S21's rear camera module. Although the body is composed of plastic with metal edges, it feels robust and weighs only 177g. Coming from the somewhat taller iPhone 13 Pro Max, this feels quite pleasant to hold for lengthy periods of time.
Display
The Galaxy S21 FE's 6.4-inch AMOLED display is bigger than the normal S21's 6.2-inch display, while somewhat smaller than the Galaxy S20 FE's 6.5-inch display. The smaller panel does not seem claustrophobic, and consumers would argue that it makes the S21 FE simpler to operate with one hand than the prior model.
As with the S20 FE, the Galaxy S21 FE can offer a 120Hz refresh rate provided the device's Settings app is set to High motion smoothness. This implies that scrolling will seem smoother on the Galaxy S21 FE's display, resulting in an improved overall user experience.
Read Vivo Y15s Review: Is this budget phone worth buying?
Having said that, it seems as if you can only manually switch between 120Hz and 60Hz; the other Galaxy S21 phones include adaptive screens that change on the fly. While this is a slight distinction, it helps justify the $100 premium above the basic S21.
Rear Cameras
While there are minor differences in specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE's camera performance is mostly equivalent to the S21 and S21 Plus. Indeed, there are more similarities than differences.
The cardinal camera is a 12MP sensor, which, along with the 12MP ultrawide, is a carryover from the S21. However, although the S21 additionally has a 64MP telephoto camera, the S21 FE only includes an 8MP telephoto camera.
Read Infinix Hot 11 Play Review with Price in Bangladesh
While its telephoto snapper has a lesser resolution than the S21's, it is actually coupled with the same lens, which offers 1.1x optical or 3x hybrid zoom; for the majority of users, this apparent decrease will make little impact.
It's commendable that the images captured with the three distinct cameras shared a color profile - many phone cameras don't, and switching between zoom and regular shots might alter the appearance of colors and brightness. For the S21 FE, people could ensure that hues will seem the same regardless of the zoom setting used.
Numerous photography and videography modes from prior Samsung phones are also here, including Single Take, which concurrently records images with multiple lenses so you can choose the best, and Dual Recording, which lets you record video with both the rear and front cameras.

Front Camera
On the front of the phone is a 32 MP camera – an upgrade over the 10MP camera on the previous S21 variants – but the resolution isn't always the deciding factor in picture quality.
Photos taken with the primary camera were very vivid, which is relatively normal for Samsung phones - it's clear that the brand's scene optimization software has never heard of oversaturation. Nonetheless, the primary camera capabilities render photos immediately social media-worthy, particularly in well-lit conditions.
Performance and Software
Many of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE's main specifications are carried over from the S20, with one notable difference. Whereas the S20 was equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 CPU, the S21 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. The 888 is identical to the S21 series of chips.

Throughout 2021, it was also the most popular SoC for flagships and high-end mid-range phones. Qualcomm has now discontinued the 888 in favor of a newer chip, albeit that silicon has not yet been integrated into consumer goods.
Apart from the CPU, the S21 FE retains the same memory and storage configurations as its predecessor. This equates to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, or 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It seemed smooth and quick throughout our little time with the phone.
Battery and Charger
After that, there is the battery. This is a straight carryover from the previous call. The battery has 4,500mAh in capacity. It supports 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging.
