Ermcat, 18 Feb 2025Thanks for the review. I think the ads in system apps an... moreads can be disabled in system settings
Also since xiaomi phones are among the easiest devices to root in the industry, you might as well delete some of those annoying system apps altogether. There you have it. Problem solved. Now stop complaining.

    This could be better phone... but because this D7025 doesn't support 4K and 1080p@60fps which is sad. This would be perfect if 6 Gen 4 was used.

      ashrobb, 18 Feb 2025That processor wouldn't be so bad if the GPU had prope... moreAlso, the design is appalling compared to previous iterations. They only make sense as Poco phones, but not Redmi Note phones.

        Thanks for the review.

        I think the ads in system apps and other annoying / anti-privacy features in them (as typically present in xiaomi phones, at least the lower end ones) should be highlighted more if there a chance.

        I fear that the GPU unable to even run the Vulkan-based benchmark is Xiaomi's fault. Or IMG's. Either way, the hardware supports Vulkan 1.3 but both times I've seen it - on Moto G54 @ Android 13 and this phone - there are no Vulkan drivers. They were added with the Android 14 update to the Moto, with some visual glitches when closing the Vulkan-powered app but it does work properly. IMG GPUs having issues or lackluster software implementation has been an issue for half a decade if not more.

          That processor wouldn't be so bad if the GPU had proper Vulkan support. But as it is, it feels gimped. They should have just slapped the D1080/7050 or whatever it is named these days and be done with it.

          Otherwise the last and more powerful of the Redmi Note to still have legacy features like a 3.5mm jack and micro SD support. The 14 "Pro" has a weaker processor setup, weirdly. Redmi is a mess this year.
