Tech Terminology to Look Out For When Buying a Smartphone @Xiaomi_ZA #1stXiaomiStoreOpening

Hi Friends, 

When shopping for a new smartphone, tech and specs may prove difficult to wrap your head around as they are often jargon-heavy and tricky to understand. To help you get to grips with tech terminology, here is a summary of some of this season’s hardware buzzwords, and why these features are fundamental to an incredible device experience.

1. DotDisplay

DotDisplay technology is what brings your smartphone’s screen to life: a display composed of quantum dots and semiconductor nanocrystals to generate monochromatic red, green and blue light. DotDisplay is extremely colour-accurate as it does not have to factor in the white light filtering process generally found in LED screens. This technology enhances the overall colour brightness and the gamut of the display by reducing light losses and colour crosstalk. Look out for DotDisplay on spec sheets to guarantee crisp, vibrant visuals and kaleidoscopic colours.

2. Quad Camera Setup

Photography and videography quality is so important as people rely on their smartphones to capture and share the special moments in their life, and want to reflect these in the best resolution possible. It is for this reason that smartphones are moving towards quadruple-camera setups for perfect pictures and videos across contexts, while still maintaining the sleek and streamlined design of the devices.

3. Milliamps per Hour for Battery Life

While people tend to prioritise RAM or camera resolution when purchasing a smartphone, the fact is nothing is more important than battery life. Milliamps per hour indicate your battery capacity - i.e., how long you can use your phone before needing to recharge. As we spend plenty of time on our devices for both work and play, it is best to look for a device with a large battery but also fast charging. A smartphone with a 5000mAh high-capacity battery is a must if you love your screen time - from gaming to browsing and photography, a 5000mAh battery will almost never be depleted in a day, despite high usage. For a super-fast recharge, opt for a model that comes with at least an 18W charger.

4. Display Refresh Rate

If you are a gamer or enjoy watching videos on your smartphone, the rate at which your display changes is important. This is demonstrated by the device’s hertz rate, or how many times the display changes per second. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and clearer the rapid imagery will be. 60Hz - or 60 display changes every second - is the benchmark to look out for an exceptional viewing experience.

There is so much to consider when making a smartphone purchasing decision and finding a quality, high-tech and affordable device may seem unattainable. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro comes with all of the bells and whistles at an exceptional price point. This cutting-edge device offers an impressive quad-camera setup in the rear, with its 108MP main lens designed to capture crisp, ultra-high-resolution images, flagship-level DotDisplay for an immersive smartphone experience and a 5000mAh (typ) battery with 67W turbo charging support, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go users.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro starts at R6,499 and is part of the high-quality and affordable 11 Series range. These devices are available for purchase on https://mia.africa.com/za, Takealot, TFG, FNB Ebucks and www.hi-online.co.za. For the 10th Sep 2022, a new store is opening in Sandton City mall in Johannesburg, South Africa and all the tech accessories and smartphones can be purchased from there as well. If you are there on the day, then an additional 10% discount can also be claimed on certain Xiaomi products.

Take Digital Photography to the Next Level with the @HUAWEIza #HuaweiNova8i

Hi Friends, 

The HUAWEI nova 8i smartphone provides the definitive digital experience for young people. Combining trendy looks, a feature-packed smartphone, SuperCharge capabilities, and a quad rear-camera system, the HUAWEI nova 8i doesn’t mess around. In fact, when it comes to its photographic capabilities, the specs really speak for themselves.

Big or small, the HUAWEI nova 8i captures it all

The HUAWEI nova 8i’s camera system includes a 64MP high-resolution main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Oh yes, and then there is the upgraded Super Night Shot 2.0 enhancements that let you capture superior quality images in any setting, whether it is in the dark of night or light of day.

The 120° ultra-wide-angle camera gives you a new perspective when it comes to landscape and even group photography. No more trying to get complicated panoramic stitching right. Simply point and click to fit more content than ever in one shot.

The other side of this coin is the 2MP macro lens. This lets you capture beautifully detailed images as close as 4cm from the subject. Not only can you get incredible detail on flowers and leaves, but you can let your creativity run wild. Just think of the new perspectives you’ll get taking close-ups of all the ordinary things around you.

Get the most from your shots

Up next is the 2MP depth camera. The main camera works in tandem with this discrete lens to blur the background and highlight the subject, even if it is against a messy backdrop. You can easily highlight what you want to focus on, making for some incredible portraits.

But the main course is the 64MP high-resolution lens (f/1.9) of the main camera. With a remarkable 1/1.7-inch sensor, the HUAWEI nova 8i can directly output high-resolution images without the need to do any software tweaks. Using the high-res mode, you can capture clear 9216x6912 photos and print them out on huge posters up to 3.2m x 2.4m in size.

One of the sexiest enhancements is the AI Beauty algorithm incorporated into the front camera. This means you can achieve a natural beautifying effect to the finest level of detail according to a plethora of options, automatically detecting gender and other elements. This gives you the best version of yourself in every shot.

The HUAWEI nova 8i Circular Flash automatically switches on whenever a low-light environment is detected, so you don’t have to worry about soft lighting for your bright images. There’s also that small matter of professional-level time-lapse photography. Supported by both its front and rear camera, you can capture spectacular sunrises and sunsets, or even produce a video of you showcasing different outfit ideas to your friends.

Even beyond its snazzy still photography features, the HUAWEI nova 8i also delivers the goods when it comes to videography and vlogging. It supports full HD recording at 30 frames per second and includes an amazing time-lapse recording feature.

An immersive display and a battery life that won’t let you down

And to really make the photography and video recording pack a punch, Huawei has upgraded the design of the HUAWEI nova 8i to feature a 6.67-inch Edgeless Display. This provides you with a more immersive viewing experience, supporting a wide colour range. So, you get to see the vibrant colours of your photos in exquisite detail.

The HUAWEI nova 8i also supports the 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge. What this translates to is that it can fully charge the battery in just 38 minutes. Oh, and if that’s not impressive enough, if you’re in a hurry, you can get 60% of your battery charged in less than 20 minutes, giving you more time to take those beautiful photographs.

Go and get your photography fix today with the HUAWEI nova 8i, a smartphone that does photography the way it should be done.

The HUAWEI nova 8i is available at the Huawei Store (Online) for just R6,999, which includes a free HUAWEI Bluetooth speaker valued at R699. Ts and Cs apply.
