Re: Redmi Note 6 Pro Battery

In general usage, after a 13 hour day, with 2 hours of commuting, listening to music on Bluetooth headphones, video, emails, messaging and calls, by the end we had an average of 67-70% left in the tank. By the estimation of most, this is a good showing.
This is backed up by the standard TechRadar battery test (playing a full resolution video on max brightness over Wi-Fi for 90 minutes), which saw the Redmi Note 7 finish with 85% left in the tank - a loss of 15%.
No matter what other specifications the camera may possess, from a marketing point of view only one thing matters - 48 megapixels. That is more than even the likes of the mighty Nokia Lumia 1020 had - but what does that mean in practice?
Before getting to that, the inch main sensor on the rear comes with an aperture of f/1.8 and is flanked by a 5MP f/2.4 depth sensor for portrait shots. The selfie snapper has a mere 13MP to call its own, no special gimmicks and an aperture of f/2.2.
A typical issue of Xiaomi phones however seems to be saturation of one color at the expense of others. Here greens tend to become nuclear in 'nature' mode, while other shades are relatively muted, leaving the images feeling unbalanced.
This does the usual, combining a series of long exposures taken over a few seconds to improve resolution and increase the brightness of photos taken in very dark conditions. The results are mostly quite good, if not remarkable, though this is more to do with the absence of optical image stabilization than anything else.
As a side note, this device comes with the potential to add a Google Camera APK, meaning that those in the know can dramatically increase the quality of pictures taken with very little investment in time - though there are security drawbacks to this process which should be kept in mind.
