Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S Review: Great Mid-range Smartphone

The Redmi Note 9S from Xiaomi is a great mid-range smartphone alternative that caters for budget and top-tier users. But with other smartphone rivals, it will be a challenging market to gain top rank as they offer similar or better features. The Note 9S is surely ready for the challenge as it comes with great features at an affordable and fair price tag. But is it really good enough to compete in this challenging market? Well, here’s the Redmi Note 9S review.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S

If there’s one word to describe this phone, the word would be ‘Incredible’. This is one incredible, mid-range smartphone. It comes with a huge 6.67-inch display, a quad-camera setup, a high-performance Snapdragon processor, a big battery and stunning design features. All this at a great value price.

Design and Display

The body of the phone is made of a plastic frame, with Gorilla Glass front and back. It’s splash-proof and can survive accidental droplets or spills.

It feels pretty lightweight, grips and rests well on a hand, and is available from a choice of trendy colours: Intersteller Grey, Aurora Blue, and Glacier White.

The display is pretty clear and great thanks to the IPS LCD. The screen comes out with pretty images, thanks to the high 1080p resolution, with good colours, manageable brightness and contrasts. It makes for a pretty good display.

One thing to note is that the smartphone display easily gets messy with fingerprints from continuous touching. Overall, the display is gorgeous, and the phone design is trendy and attractive.

Performance

Inside the Redmi Note 9S includes a high-performance 8-core Snapdragon 750G processor, available with either 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage or the 6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage model.

Yes, there’s the choice of two models here with the 6GB, 128GB being the much more favoured model of choice, thanks to more system memory for apps management and bigger storage space.

The overall performance is great with this phone. First, the Android OS works well with a smooth and flowing interface. Secondly, the GPU works even for gaming. Thirdly, the performance of the processor has scored pretty well, matching scores with other rival mid-range phones and making it one of the most efficient.

Gaming

With gaming performance, this is not a gaming smartphone but the Note 9S says it can be. Thanks to the Adreno 618 GPU and the game boost feature, gaming looks great visually and the gameplay is decent. This is a great phone for casual gaming just not too much as it will affect the battery.

Overall, the Note 9S performs great with a responsive OS, good management of apps, and a great mid-range gaming performer as well.

Battery life

The Note 9S is powered by a large 5020 mAh Li-ion battery and supports 18W quick charge. With the charger that comes with the phone, you can expect a 100% charge time in no less than 2 hours.

This is an impressive battery as from other reviews the battery has produced good scores, starting with up to 40 hours of talk time, 19 hours of web browsing and up to 16 hours of video playback.

Overall, expect good long hours using this phone on a single charge, what else can you expect from a big battery.

Audio Output

The audio speaker for Redmi Note 9S is on the bottom right next to the USB-C charger input. From me experimenting with the phone, the sound output is quite loud and comes out clean. It does lack that thumping bass but vocals sound decent. Not much really to expect from speakers on a smartphone.

Camera and Video

The Redmi Note 9S has a square ‘hump’ at the back that houses all four cameras, the 48MP wide sensor, 8MP ultra-wide sensor, the 5MP macro, and the 2MP depth sensor. For a more professional finish, the Note 9S includes a Pro mode that offers settings such as white balance, focus, ISO, and shutter speed.

The video quality is amazing here. Firstly, video recording modes available go up to 4K at 30fps. Next, video stabilisation is excellent here. Thirdly, the finished video clips look very well detailed for this mid-range phone. It’s good to experiment to find your ideal mode but from my experience, 1080p at 60fps is more favoured.

To sum up, experiment with Note 9S, take a few pictures and videos and find your perfect mode. For a mid-range phone like the Note 9S, you’ll be surprised by the camera and video features available.

Overall Impressions

Thanks to the specs, it has a great battery life with fast charging, a clear display with a good design, great performance and decent camera features.

A few things to note, however: first, it smudges easily with fingerprints from constant touching of the screen; second, it has no 5G connectivity; third, it takes average night mode pictures; and lastly, it doesn’t come with earphones.

Overall, this is a great mid-range alternative to get if you can’t afford a top-range smartphone. It’s great for those looking for a budget alternative.

Thanks for reading my Redmi Note 9S review. If you can, I recommend purchasing the Note 9S 6GB, 128GB instead of the 4GB 64GB. It has better performance but costs more but the latter is more affordable.

Any points you want clarity on or want to add comments, please feel free to leave them below. Stay safe. Live long and prosper until next time.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 Review: The Next Great Tablet-on-the-go

Posted on June 2, 2020 by LGMadyibi

Specs

Display:	10.5-inch PixelSense^™ Touchscreen 1920 x 1280 resolution Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass 3 Protection
Memory:	4GB/8GB RAM
Processor:	Intel^® Pentium^® Gold 4425Y/8th Gen Intel^® Core m3
Graphics:	Intel^® UHD Graphics 615
Storage:	64GB eMMC drive/128GB Solid-state drive (SSD)
Connections:	1 x USB-C^® 3.5 mm headphone jack 1 x Surface Connect port Surface Type Cover Port Micro SDXC Card Reader Compatible with Surface Dial^*

Overview

Microsoft Surface Go 2 is a tablet that can be used as a laptop with the right accessories. From the first view, it looks pretty decent with a 10.5-inch touchscreen.

Design & Display

The Surface Go 2 comes with a 10.5-inch ‘PixelSense’ touchscreen with 1920 x 1280 resolution. It’s bright and vibrant.

The bezels are thinner. The screen is a half-inch bigger than the 2018 model. Overall, the screen is slightly bigger and has a better quality view.

With the design, it’s pretty much the same as the older version. It has two lens webcams, one front-facing and one at the back.

Speaking of which, at the back is also a kickstand to hold the tablet upright, and a micro SD slot to add more storage.

On the right side is the charger port (Surface Connect) to charge the mobile unit, along with a USB-C port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. On the left side is the SIM card tray.

On the top is the power button, along with the volume button. On the bottom lies the port to connect the ‘Surface Go Type Cover’

Therefore, the overall design may be the same as the older model, but it worked well. It’s still simple to use, and easy to connect to the keypad.

Performance

The base entry model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. That’s typical specs of a budget tablet.

From the first test and usage, the performance of the tablet is good and works pretty well. The experience of doing daily tasks was delightful with no slowdown in system performance.

However, it starts to slow down though when you switch between apps on stand-by. But overall, the tablet performs well and is capable of handling everyday tasks with ease.

This is no gaming tablet. You may get away with light gaming on the go but won’t work well with intense 3D games.

Sadly, the hardware won’t support that type of gaming, not like gaming laptops. Overall, casual gaming is fine but not hardcore gaming.

Battery life

With battery life, the Surface Go 2 tablet lasts longer in tablet mode, however, it’s shortened when you attach the keypad and switch to S Mode.

Audio

The tablet comes with 2W stereo speakers in front. It sounds good and has detailed audio quality but sadly lacks bass and it’s not very loud. Therefore, the overall sound is typical of a normal tablet.

Camera

The tablet comes with two cameras: a 5MP front-facing and an 8MP back-facing.

Verdict

Surface Go 2 is great to use and has the potential to be a great 2-in-1 tablet. With a bigger display, reliable performance for everyday use, and features, it’s a fun, portable mobile device to use wherever you are.

I recommend this tablet to students, corporate or technical professionals, and others who are looking just to do daily tasks. The entry model is a great start at a retail price of US$399.99.

The other models are more expensive, but provide better performance and more internal storage options.

So there you have it. This was the Microsoft Surface Go 2 review, the compact 2-in-1 laptop/tablet.

2020 Next Ultimate: Microsoft Surface Book 3 Review

Microsoft Surface Book 3 Review. Introducing the latest Microsoft Surface Book 3 release in 2020. The AKA all-around. The AKA ‘Ultimate Laptop’. From first impressions, the tablet or 2-in-1 laptop comes with the same design as the previous Surface Book 2. That’s pretty risky in this day in age, because of the challenging mobile market.

There are substantial upgrades to the CPU, GPU, and other hardware specs to boost performance, but will it be enough to gain an advantage in the mobile market?

Overview

Microsoft Surface Book 3 is a tablet that, if the right accessories are present, can also become a laptop, making it a 2-in-1 mobile device. There are two models it comes with: the 13.5-inch and the 15-inch model. Both models come with different specs and features catered to different segments and different ranges of prices.

The 13.5-inch model is the startup with specs similar to other mid-range models. There is also a top-range version of this model, that contains more powerful processing power, more memory, better graphics, and more storage.

The 15-inch model is the top range of the two, with more powerful specs and features. It’s more pricey, catering to those who can afford it and demand more system performance.

Bottom-line, there are two model tablets with different display sizes, specs, and features. They are catered to serve different segments, with different prices.

Display & Design

Microsoft Surface Book 3 comes in two models: 13.5-inch and 15-inch. There are both ‘Pixelsense’ displays with high resolutions up to 4K. The display is beautiful with images onscreen that are very much detailed. Those who are in the creative space will have no problems here with editing images and working on graphic arts.

One issue is that the bezels around the display are quite thick than other top model tablets, making it look outdated.

There is not much to say here about the design of the Surface Book 3. The two models are very much the same as the previous Surface Book 2 version.

The tablet is compatible with the detachable keyboard which when attached turns it into a clamshell laptop. The hinges are pretty easy to attach to the tablet and can fold the laptop up to 360 degrees, similar to a 2-in-1 laptop. The only issue here is that you still need to buy it separately as it doesn’t come with the mobile device.

So to sum it up, great gorgeous 4K display. Same design as the older Surface Book 2. Easy to attach the detachable keyboard but is sold separately.

System & Gaming Performance

With the addition of the mid-range/top-range hardware included, the tablet aims to meet the performance criteria of many market sectors. That of which the Surface Book 3 has definitely done so.

The tablet includes two of Intel’s most powerful processors, with more RAM options, better display graphics, and more internal storage options.

This will definitely help you do business and creative work well with smooth transition between apps, fast loading of programs, and good storage. This is definitely a good point note.

With gaming, however, this is not a gaming laptop. The hardware included is catered for normal business work and creativity work. The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) included is good but not as powerful as the NVIDIA RTX range of laptops which are more suitable for gamers.

But you can get away with playing 2D gaming apps and older gaming titles just don’t expect a WOW gaming experience here.

So the bottom line here is that Microsoft Surface Book 3 is a solid performance machine. It’s great for daily or business work, good for creatives, but not ideal for extreme gaming. See some powerful gaming laptops here, if that interests you.

Other Features

The battery life here is not too bad. Looking at up to 10 to 12 hours of battery life, you can expect to get your work done, stream movies, browse the internet, and social media on a single charge. Bear in mind that it takes about an hour to charge over 50%.

The detachable keyboard offers a good typing experience so it’s a good idea to get it if you wish to type. There are two webcams (front and back) that are the same as the previous model but with a 1080p resolution. The weight is the same as the previous model, with a weight of 1.5 kgs for the 13.5-inch and 1.6 kgs for the 15-inch model.

Price

Here is a quick view of what you will expect to pay for the new Microsoft Surface Book 3.

13.5-inch:

- Intel Core i5, 8GB, 256GB SSD, Intel Iris: $1,599.99
- Intel Core i7, 16GB, 256GB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $1999.99
- Intel Core i7, 32GB, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $2,499.99
- Intel Core i7, 32GB, 1TB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $2,699.99

15-inch:

- Intel Core i7, 16GB, 256GB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $2,299.99
- Intel Core i7, 32GB, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $2,799.99
- Intel Core i7, 16GB, 1TB SSD, Nvidia GTX (Max-Q): $2,999.99
- Intel Core i7, 32GB, 2TB SSD, NVidia GTX (Max-Q): $3,399.99

As you can see the base model release starts at over $1500. That’s not cheap for the budget segment. But looking at the specs this is a typical price range for a mid-range tablet or laptop. The tablet is out now in the US. It will be released at a later date in other countries.

Overall Verdict

Microsoft Surface Book 3 plans to be the all-rounder, trying to find a balance between the business laptop with a gaming GPU and a gaming laptop with good typing, a responsive touchscreen, and a lightweight.

With the performance of the tablet, the Surface Book 3 has reached that mark, catering to those looking for a business mobile device turn laptop that can perform tasks well with no issues.

But it puzzles me why Microsoft keeps releasing another powerful tablet and not including one or two of the cool accessories, like other brands. It could be because they want to make more money, or it’s a marketing strategy. Whatever the reason is it would be cool to at least get the detachable keyboard bundle, but only time will tell.

Suffice to say, Microsoft has done a good job by releasing a great round tablet or 2-in-1 laptop. The upgrade options available with better processing power, and more RAM to the internal storage options make this a great choice for business and corporate use.

Yet the same external design features will end up being a liability in the not-so-distant long run because of the tough mobile electronic market they are facing.

Overview

Huawei has done it again. It has announced and released another upgraded version of a predecessor model. This time it’s the New Huawei P30 Lite, the upgraded, better version of the 2019 Huawei P30 Lite. Let’s take a look at the review of the new Huawei P30 Lite and see if it truly is better and worth the buy than its predecessor.

The new Huawei P30 Lite is a smartphone, like its 2019 predecessor, that is the mid-range version of the flagship, Huawei P30 smartphone. The phone comes with the latest 8-core Kirin processor, 256GB of internal storage, 6GB of system memory, and good battery life. On the outside is a 6.15-inch IPS LCD screen with a full HD display, weighs 153 grams, and comes with a triple-lens camera. So far so good.

Display & Design

The new Huawei P30 Lite smartphone comes with a 6.15-inch LTPS IPS LCD display with 1080p resolution. The display is the same size as the predecessor but this version comes with a low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology. This tech offers high display resolutions, low power consumption, and high brightness.

There are not many changes to the smartphone’s look and design, as it looks exactly like its predecessor, even the back camera lens, still bulges out. But an extra color body design ‘breathing crystal’ is added. The bottom line, the display is better, but the smartphone’s body and design are still the same as the previous version.

Performance

The new Huawei P30 Lite comes with upgrades, that include RAM and internal storage. RAM has been boosted from 4GB of the 2019 version to 6GB of the latest. This means an increase in multitasking, smoother navigation between menus and apps. The internal storage was initially 128GB but has increased to 256GB, meaning more storage of digital media and documents. Other upgrades include the latest Kirin processor with increase processing power. Overall, these features contribute to a better, and faster performance smartphone.

With gaming, the smartphone comes the latest Kirin processor and GPU, meaning a significant boost in performance. Thanks to that gaming on the smartphone are smoother, and multitasking is easier. The bottom line, the performance is better thanks to the upgrades to the internal hardware, and gaming on this smartphone is smoother.

Other features

Other normal and known features of the smartphone are still the same. No changes to the camera specs, sound quality and output, same battery life, fingerprint scanner at the rear, and all other features. Another feature is that this smartphone retains access to Google apps. The certification of the phone with Google was done before the ban, so there was no need. You can still use common Google apps such as Gmail, Drive, Chrome, etc. Bottom line, other normal features are the same as the previous model. You can still use the smartphone to get access to Google apps.

Final Verdict

The new Huawei P30 Lite is a great smartphone. The improvements to the internal hardware and the display make it a better phone than its predecessor. It will cost significantly more but the improvements will fix most of the previous phone’s faults. I personally am content with this phone especially the performance and gaming aspects. The design, in my opinion, is just a minor setback that can easily be overruled.

If you want a good mid-range smartphone to start 2020 off, then this one is for you. It still retains all the good qualities of its predecessor with significant improvements. This phone’s good for students, young adults, elders, and those who don’t want to pay so much money.

The 2020 New Huawei P30 Lite smartphone is better than its predecessor. That’s all for me and the new Huawei P30 Lite review. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them at the bottom and I will respond as soon as possible. Stay safe. Take care until next time. 🙂

Apple MacBook Air Review: 2018’s Powerful MacBook

Posted on November 28, 2018 by LGMadyibi

Here we have the 2018’s Apple MacBook Air review. It has been known to be a great laptop for many reasons. Let’s see what it has in store.

Apple MacBook Air

The Apple MacBook Air is a notebook from Apple that comes with two models: 128GB and 256GB version. The one on review is the 256GB version that comes with a 13-inch display. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, with 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD hard drive. Both MacBooks come with a great design finish, a choice of exotic colors to choose from, slim and lightweight.

Display

The MacBook Air display comes with an array of technologies that make viewing even more pleasant. First is the thin screen bezels. Secondly, it comes with a Retina display, with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 227ppi.

Thirdly, the viewing angles are improved from previous models. Lastly, the improved colour accuracy, with auto-adjusting colour temperature gives it a more natural and comfortable viewing experience. In short, the MacBook Air display is the most impressive. The high screen resolution gives it a premium look-and-feel while viewing pictures and videos look better than ever.

Design

The MacBook Air comes with some interesting design features. Firstly, the touchpad and the keyboard. The touchpad is quite large offering quieter clicks and more responsiveness, whilst the keyboard offers more key stability, responsive typing experience and comfort. Secondly, the audio speakers, placed on the left and right side with the keyboard between, offers great sound output from a small package. Thirdly, the overall chassis is made from recycled aluminum and comes in a good range of colours: space grey, gold and silver.

And lastly, the webcam and fingerprint sensor. The 720p HD webcam and the ‘three-microphone array’ make video conferencing sessions look and sound good but laptops nowadays go have 1080p webcams. The fingerprint sensor, a security feature on the touch-pad, works well with no hassles. Overall, the MacBook Air design isn’t as great but Apple is game-changing as that of the original MacBook Air, Apple has gone to impressive lengths to improve on the look and feel of the new model.

Performance

The performance is less than desirable. The RAM is good enough, the SSD internal storage works well, but the dual-core processor is less than adequate. Apps take longer to load and start to get sluggish when you open more than one app. In short, performance is not really the best here, unless you can open it up and install a better processor.

Other features

Here are some other features to take note of from the MacBook Air. First, the notebook comes with a non-removable lithium-polymer battery that offers you 12-hour battery life on a single charge. From testing, the notebook managed 10 hours of use, not exactly 12 hours yet it’s pretty close. Overall, no need to worry about losing power because you’ll have plenty of it.

Secondly, there are only 2 USB-C input ports on the left-hand side of the notebook. That’s way too few in my opinion. If you need to, it’s a good idea to get yourself a USB-C adapter to increase input ports as it comes with more ports such HDMI, Ethernet, SD reader, USB, etc. Don’t despair if it doesn’t have enough input ports, just get a USB-C adapter.

Verdict

My verdict is thus: Great looking display with stunning visuals, notebook design not that wow but other design features will more than make up for it. The system performance and input ports are lacking here but battery life is great.

Overall, if you can handle the performance of this laptop then I say get one. The visuals will blow you away, the battery life is amazing and typing or using the touch-pad works well. Recommend to Apple notebook fans, frequent travelers, creative artists and students but not for gamers.

Overall Rating:

4.0 out of 5

I highly recommend this notebook for gamers and our creative artists as it can help them make a name for themselves.

I hope you enjoyed the MSI P65 Creator review. If you have any questions about the product please leave a comment below.
