(Sometimes you don't want to unlock the phone, but you would accidentally unlock it)

It can cannobolize sales from some of their more expensive models and also it makes it difficult to market future models if the previous model has everything. Nearly all these Redmi and Poco phones are ODM anyway so it's very easy to release them quickly. Everything is outsourced to ODM companies, from design of the phone to manufacture so the cost will be lowered. Basically, Xiaomi just has to look after the software as the hardware is taken care of by big ODM companies. It's also easier to market and sell new models as people generally think new models are better (even if they aren't)

      The best mid-range lineup of Xiaomi is the Poco phones. The Redmis, to me, are seemingly just prototypes of what the upcoming great Poco devices are going to be at a later time.

It's as if they jumbled each great component across a variety of similar-looking models instead of joining them altogether into one mega supreme device to rule the mid-range segment.

          Awesome job, Xiaomi, dropping from ~4.x stars on Redmi Note series to 3.6, "cheaper phones are getting better" my a$$.

            Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G also uses tcs3701 proximity sensor but you call it a virtual proximity sensor while Redmi Note 13 5G calls it a real sensor. Lol gsmarena 🤡

              Average phone, just look for something else.. this is the good thing about Xiaomi, they release a lot of different phones with different SoCs, screen, camera and so on.

                  Unfortunately, Xiaomi is using UFS 2.2 chips, which are on the slower side.
                  What?? Poco X6, redmi note 13 pro 5G, poco M6 pro using the same UFS 2.2!
                  What do you mean by slow?
                  If the phone use emmc, it is slow then!

                    You think its the most basic model just because it has a mono speaker and side-mounted fingerprint sensor... what?

                          Xiaomi doing some race to the bottom? I remember better days of this company.

                            Xiaomi be like: battery optimisations? never heard of that.

                            Where the heck is this company going, this is some worthless battery life for such a chip and a 5000mAh battery.

                            Heck, a base S23 does it better... I have no words for this except Xiaomi going even more lazy.

                            Such a shame, I remember them as the better china phone brand.

                                    Sides can be unlocked even before phone is taken out of pocket completely.
                                    No, it is not faster.

                                      Darth Caesium, 09 Feb 2024*Yawn....* Yet another review that no one asked for rather ... moreWell, at least they give some attention to the more "forgettable" phones. The X7 Ultra's review will come, eventually, just like the Z60 Ultra's

                                        Xiaomi used to be one of the best for battery life, but now they are consistently one of the worst. Particularly the Redmi Note series.
