Design
The Intel Vision 2S features a beautiful design that goes above and beyond its price point. The phone's dimensions are 166 x 76.30 x 8.90mm, giving it a large screen appearance. Users may feel it is hard to use the phone with a single hand.
The phone's overall design is appealing and functional. Users will not be able to complain about the appearance thanks to the matte textured pattern finish on the rear with a gradient effect.

A teardrop camera room can be seen in the upper-middle corner of the display. In addition, the phone's chin and bezel are noticeably smaller. Hence, users will not be bothered by these when viewing movies or playing games.
The Rear Lenses
The main camera panel has two cameras. The main camera has an 8MP wide lens and a 0.3MP depth sensor that is touted to be an AI sensor. The pictures captured by these lenses are mediocre.
The cameras did not achieve a sufficient dynamic ratio. The pictures provided seem to have a somewhat warmer tone. The tone sometimes enhances the overall appearance of the pictures, while other times it detracts from them. In low light, the contrast increases. Photos shot at night need additional attention to achieve a high level of quality.

Naturally, expectations and demand for the Redmi 10 Prime have been raised after its first release on 7th September 2021 in India. But as much as can be foretold, the experience with it won't leave anyone in awe. Having said that, the Redmi 10 Prime offers certain points where it makes a compelling choice to smartphone consumers.
Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime Full Review
Design
Xiaomi has maintained the design language introduced with the Redmi Note 10 series. This design adds to the Redmi 10 Prime a recognizable appearance. Weighing about 192g, the smartphone has a large body (161.2 x 75.6 x 9.6 mm dimension) with visible bezels on all sides.

A punch-hole for the selfie camera is located in the center of the display, towards the top. The frame is constructed of plastic and is contoured to make the gadget easier to grasp. The rear panel is also composed of plastic. When placed on a flat surface, the lens module containing four cameras protrudes slightly, causing the gadget to rock.
The phone has a fingerprint scanner built into the power button at the right. The volume controls are located above it. The left side is entirely devoted to the SIM tray. As with the Redmi 9 Prime, the frame's top and bottom have been kept flat. The top has a 3.5mm audio socket, an IR emitter, and two speaker holes, while the bottom features a USB Type-C connector, main microphone, and loudspeaker.

Display
Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime’s 6.5-inch full HD+ display is powered by an LCD screen featuring 1080 x 2400 pixels resolutions, 20:9 ratio, and ~405 PPI density. It is adequate for regular applications. For light users, the 90Hz refresh rate will make the phone seem more premium, which makes a big difference in the cheap smartphone market.
The display is nice to look at and provides vibrant colors with no noticeable oversaturation. Additionally, it provides adequate color fidelity, but there is a small color shift at acute angles — this is particularly noticeable when viewing darker material.

While the touch responsiveness is excellent, the Redmi 10 Prime's adaptive brightness is not the greatest in the industry. In this situation, we suggest that you change your brightness manually. However, the auto-adapting refresh rate works well, and the display is one of the finest aspects of this phone. Its display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Rear Cameras
The Redmi 10 Prime has a quad-camera system with the main camera of 50mp (f/1.8), an ultra-wide-angle camera of 8mp (f/2.2), a macro camera of 2mp (f/2.4), and a depth sensor of 2mp (f/2.4). The camera application is almost identical to the ancestor redmi 10 phone. There are easy toggles for both HDR and AI, and a Pro mode provides full control over settings.

Photos taken in the daytime come out quite well with average detail. Additionally, the frames' borders were somewhat blurry. While the 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, featuring a 120-degree field-of-view, allows for a larger frame, users will find the output to be much worse in quality than the main sensor. Additionally, the output exhibited some edge distortion.
Close-up pictures showed excellent clarity, and the AI can be fast to identify where the smartphone is pointing. The colors are pretty realistic, and the phone is capable of distinguishing between the subject and the backdrop to create a sense of depth. Portrait pictures feature excellent edge recognition, and the phone is capable of successfully blurring the backdrop.
The video recording capacity for the rear cameras is 1080p at 30fps.

Front Camera
Xiaomi has used an 8mp (f/2.0) lens as the front camera. Selfies shot with the front camera come great in the daytime. Additionally, the output seems to have been sharpened, with blacks forcefully increased.
Portrait pictures show excellent edge recognition, and in the daytime, the phone produces an acceptable amount of background blur. Selfies taken in low light beneath a street lighting perform poorly, but those taken with a stronger light source nearby performs well.

The selfie camera captures video at a maximum resolution of 1080p@30fps. While filming in the daytime or at night, the footage was not properly stabilized.
Performance
The Redmi 10 Prime's MediaTek Helio G88 (12nm) processor is not quite a performance beast. Its Octa-core CPU is built with two Cortex-A75 cores featuring 2.0 GHz clock speed combined with six numbers of Cortex-A55 cores with 1.8 GHz clock speed at maximum. The graphic unit is enriched with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
This phone is available in two variants: 64GB by 4GB RAM, 128GB by 6GB RAM. Here eMMC 5.1 data transfer technology has been applied which is a pity in the era of UFS technology.

After booting, the phone takes some time to achieve a condition of smooth operation. The users might face noticeable stutters when they open or use five or six applications at a time. Therefore, for heavy users, purchasing the 6GB RAM version would be the best option. The top variant's overall performance is very smooth.
Despite the phone's 90Hz display, gaming performance lacks fluidity compared to the other devices with higher processing capabilities. To be fair, games on the Redmi 10 Prime are not completely unplayable, but they lack the fluidity seen on the finest mid-range phones.

Software and Charging
The Redmi 10 Prime is powered by MIUI 12.5, one of the most popular and modified interfaces of Android 11 available today. Xiaomi has recently made a few of its bloatware removable. But even so, it is clear how Xiaomi's version of Android is distinct from standard Android and has both positive and negative aspects.
The Redmi 10 Prime's battery life is excellent, lasting a full day with heavier-than-average use for its huge 6000mAh battery. However, once run out, the phone takes a long time to be refilled than most other phones. With a similar but slightly shorter battery life, the Realme Narzo 30 charges in approximately half the time.

Users should charge 10 Prime overnight to ensure that it is fully charged for the next day or blame its 18W charging system.
Price in Bangladesh
The Redmi 10 Prime is not officially available in Bangladesh yet. However, it has been launched in India beginning at Rs. 12,499 or BDT 14386 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage configuration. A higher-end version is also available for Rs. 14,499, or BDT 16,687, which has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The INR to BDT covert rate here is 1 INR = 1.51 BDT.

Conclusion
Even with 6GB RAM, the Redmi 10 Prime performs averagely and offers a nice display. The back camera performs well for daytime use, and the battery life is adequate as well. However, it takes unimpressive selfies, charges slowly, and looks like a cheap choice. People who need prolonged battery support, and want to save some money in exchange for a few obvious sacrifices, can buy Redmi 10 Prime.
Xiaomi 11T Pro Review: What’s Special About It?
Xiaomi is renowned for offering great value for money devices. The latest Xiaomi 11T Pro appears to add a layer to it. Apparently, Xiaomi is looking for its next success story. The Xiaomi 11T Pro has just been released on 15th September in Europe as part of the Chinese company's new T line of smartphones. It offers high-end specifications at mid-range pricing, but it is towards the upper end of that category.

Xiaomi 11T Pro Full Review
Design
With dimensions of 164.1 x 76.9 x 8.8 mm, Xiaomi 11T Pro appears as a large phone to use comfortably, especially for people with average-sized hands. Weighing 204g, this phone might be difficult to hold with one hand too.
The phone has a large screen area. A fingerprint capturer is located on its right side. Some users may struggle to use it. The responsive scanner easily unlocks the phone with a simple touch of the thumb.

The volume rocker is located above the scanner. The phone features a USB-C connection but no 3.5mm jack, so those who want wired music will need to use an adapter.
The camera bulge on the rear is a great improvement from the previous Mi 10T Pro, which stood out like a mountain range on the old phone. However, it looks much less imposing on the 11T Pro. However, the phone's back is a fingerprint magnet that acts as a holding.
In addition to that, using the smartphone for any length of time will transform the smooth plastic, which comes in colors like white, blue, or grey, into a patchwork of smudges and fingerprints.

Display
The Xiaomi 11T Pro's screen is probably one of the most significant quality degradations from the Mi 11. While the Mi 11's display was one of its major selling points, Xiaomi seems to put concentration on cameras with the 11T Pro. Still, the screen here is quite enough for the task at hand.
It has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, which is somewhat smaller than the Mi 11's. Unlike that phone, the screen hasn't any curve at the corners, and the punch-hole for the front camera is in the top-center rather than the top-left.
The display will provide a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, which is typical for most phones of any price. It will be enough for most activities since most games and streaming services support that resolution.

The device also boasts a rapid 120Hz refresh rate, which equals the Mi 11. But it falls short of the 144Hz of the Mi 10T series. 11T Pro’s display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Rear Cameras
On the practical tests, it was discovered that 11T Pro’s 108MP (f/1.75) primary camera worked similarly to the one on the Mi 11 — it produces great-looking photos in well-lit situations, with excellent contrast, bright colors, and plenty of detail. By default, this camera employs ‘pixel binning,' a technique in which the pixels are merged to produce fewer but bigger images, resulting in 27MP images.
Users can switch to a high-resolution mode that utilizes the whole 108MP sensor. Pictures that are taken in this mode feature super-high-resolution, giving more leeway for future editing. Yet pictures do not collect as much color information per pixel. In low-light situations. That's why the 11T Pro has harsher edges due to noise in images, even though pixel binning helps to reduce this.

In addition to the primary sensor, Xiaomi 11T Pro comes with an 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor featuring 120˚field-of-view. It also has a 5 MP (f/2.4) telephoto macro lens.
The rear cameras have the capacity to record videos at up to 8K pixel resolution at 30 frames per second.
Front Camera
The 16MP (f/2.5) front camera is well worth the quality. The contrast delivered by the portrait mode is striking. It seems as if the shadows and highlights have been adjusted to make the person stand out more.

In these photographs, the background blur effect performs an excellent job of distinguishing people from their backgrounds, but it sometimes blurred the borders of the body as well. With the front camera, the users can shoot 1080p footage at 30fps.
Performance, Software, and UI
The CPU is built with an octa-core processor featuring 2.84GHz clock speed at maximum. The Xiaomi 11T Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 888 (5nm) chipset. Although this is not the most powerful Android chip available, it is still a very strong processor that can make the phone swift to use and excellent for gaming. The graphic unit bears the Adreno 660 GPU.
Gaming felt relatively snappy on the Xiaomi 11T Pro. The strong cheapest indicates that the phone is capable of handling maximum graphics settings smoothly. The phone is capable of processing maximum graphics activities with ease. However, prolonged gaming sessions may cause the overheating problem, affecting performance, although such situations are barely reported.

Like all other Xiaomi phones, the new 11T Pro runs Android with the company's own skin, MIUI. The smartphone comes with Android 11 based MIUI 12.5. The skin is polarizing, and it's simple to see why. It comes pre-installed with a slew of apps, including eBay, Linked In, and even AliExpress.
Xiaomi 11T Pro’s variants are: 8/128GB, 8/256GB, 12/256GB. This phone is blessed with UFS 3.1 data transfer technology. The RAM power varies from 8 to 12 GB. On the other hand, the internal storage capacity ranges up to 256GB starting from 128GB. The users can pick the right variant depending on their specific needs.
Battery and Charging
Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro might not meet users' expectations. Thankfully, the phone is provided with a 5,000mAh battery. It is certainly large for a phone. It's probable that the large display, fast refresh rate, power-hungry processor, and 5G modem all drain the battery.
Read Samsung Galaxy F22 Review: What does it Offer?
The Xiaomi 11T Pro offers lightning-fast 120W wired charging. Except for a few gadgets that were exclusively available in limited areas, this is the quickest charging cord ever seen on a smartphone.
Price of Xiaomi 11T Pro in Bangladesh
There are two variations of the phone launched in Europe. In India, the phone has been available unofficially, and the 8GB × 128GB variation costs around INR 34,990, or BDT 40272. Here, the INR to BDT conversion rate is 1.15.
Verdict
The Xiaomi 11T Pro supports wired charging up to 120W. Except for a few limited-edition devices, this is the fastest charging cable ever. People might still be concerned about its charging speed. The phone has a more premium look and feels. The powerful Snapdragon 888 processor with strong camera performance makes the phone a versatile gadget. People who are looking for a mid-range phone with regular performance might choose the Xiaomi 11T Pro.
