Review of Xiaomi Mi AirDots 2 Pro Wireless Headphones - Don't Believe Reviews of True Wireless Earphones Air 2 White

Pocophone F1, released at the end of summer 2020, seemed to have failed, sitting between two stools. It would seem that what could go wrong is the most inexpensive (by far) smartphone with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 at that time, and even with a bet on the wildly growing Indian market. Alas, it turned out to be a little expensive for India, and for the rest of the world it was not advanced enough in terms of other characteristics; as it turned out, you can’t go far with the raw power of the hardware platform; Moreover, the shell is strange - for some reason Xiaomi heavily modified MIUI. Although, as a relatively budget smartphone option for gamers, it was really good.

Nevertheless, after a long silence, it began to seem that the experiment had been declared a failure, Xiaomi would no longer produce sub-brands, the “pocophones” would end before they even began - after all, two years have passed, and there is no news about them, only all sorts of dark rumors and insiders. And against this background, POCO F2 Pro suddenly comes out - with a changed brand strategy, the brand itself, a retractable camera and the absence of a version without the word Pro in the name. The creators of the smartphone clearly decided that it sounds more solid, especially since it couldn’t do without a flagship hardware platform. By the way, this time a new cooling system with an unusually large evaporation chamber was “glued” to it - so the smartphone’s gaming bias remained. But there is no hope of quickly taking over the world (and India in the first place) - POCO F2 Pro is very close in price to Mi 10, with which (along with OnePlus 8 Pro) it will have to compete primarily.

In China, by the way, Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro was released under the name... Redmi K30 Pro. And this is already becoming a tradition for the company - releasing Redmi flagships to the world market under different names. Let me remind you that last year the same story happened with the Redmi K20 Pro, known here as the Xiaomi Mi 9T - and it was one of the most interesting smartphones of last year in terms of its combination of characteristics. Let's see if we can repeat the success.

⇡#Technical characteristics

Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 supports the latest technologies

Speaking of new technologies, Xiaomi wireless headphones support Bluetooth 5.0. As you know, the latest version of Bluetooth technology provides a range of 10 meters, as well as a fast and stable connection.

Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 also support the new LHDC codec. The new codec allows you to transmit audio signals with quality up to 900 kbps. For example, the latest generation AAC codec is about three times worse than LHDC.

The resistance is 32 ohms, which is twice as high as the previous generation.

The AirDots Pro 2 headphones also feature ENC noise reduction technology. To be honest, I don't really understand how noise cancellation works on in-ear headphones. I'll check on her later.

By the way, Xiaomi headphones are equipped with a 14.2 mm speaker. The manufacturer promises high-quality sound, but I’ll tell you about that a little later.

⇡#Design, ergonomics and software

During the POCO F2 Pro presentation, there was a lot of talk about “innovation” and “killing flagships.” It is logical to assume that these theses will be supported, among other things, by a special design. This is partly what happened.

POCO F2 Pro really looks unusual for a smartphone from 2020 - it does not have a hole in the corner of the screen. Instead, the front camera is hidden in a retractable block - many have abandoned this logical solution, which preserves the maximum screen area for the user, but is fraught with mechanical damage. Many, but not Xiaomi. This gives the new Pocophone its individuality and maintains continuity with its predecessor, Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T.

The camera comes out with a sound accompaniment, which quickly begins to irritate - however, this is not a problem: both sound and visual accompaniment (there are backlight diodes on the retractable block) can be changed or completely turned off in the settings. It takes about half a second for the camera to appear - if you rely on it for facial recognition, this delay may seem noticeable, but for selfies you can tolerate it, even despite the high pace of modern life.

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro, back panel: in the dark circle there are four main camera lenses, underneath there is a triple LED flash

At the back, four lenses are collected in a circle with a characteristic figure inside it, suggesting a quadcopter taking off. The camera block protrudes slightly above the body, and the triple LED flash is located below it. It all looks good - and certainly fresher than the endless square protrusions in the corner copied from Apple. Xiaomi is working with design this year in a surprisingly independent and interesting way.

Both the front panel and the back are covered with tempered glass Gorilla Glass 5 - curved at the back, flat at the front (fashionable curved edges that reduce the screen bezel to an absolute minimum were found only in the Mi 10). The perimeter of the POCO F2 is lined with aluminum, painted to match the body color for the gray, purple and turquoise versions and simply polished for the white version, which we got for testing.

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro, bottom edge: SIM card slot, USB Type-C port, microphone, main speaker

On the top edge we also find two surprises from the past - an infrared port and a mini-jack! Despite the flagship hardware platform, POCO F2 still targets a mass audience that is greedy for such little things - you can use wired headphones and control household appliances.

Otherwise, the Xiaomi POCO F2 is quite traditional: a USB Type-C port at the bottom, regular mechanical keys on the right edge, a pair of microphones at the top and bottom. A fairly typical Android smartphone.

I already wrote above about the possibility of unlocking a smartphone using facial recognition technology, but the basic method still remains scanning a fingerprint. For this purpose, an on-screen optical sensor is offered here. Unfortunately, it’s not the same as the Mi 10 – it responds slower, not as stable and, most offensively, without an identical sensor feedback mechanism, the scanner here is not so pleasant to use tactilely. But in general, there are no special complaints about it - it works quite stably and without noticeable glitches.

POCO F2 Pro runs on the Android 10 operating system, but under the control of a special Poco Launcher 2 shell. Its differences from MIUI 11, however, are minimal - instead of an endless carousel of applications, there is a separate submenu for them with a normal search, grouping applications by type and various , in Xiaomi style, settings. That's more or less all - otherwise it's the familiar MIUI 11, this time without particularly intrusive advertising - it mainly annoys the happy owners of devices under the Redmi brand. The shell is fast, convenient and pleasant in almost every way. Except that stability is sometimes lacking.

Is Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 a copy of Apple AirPods?

As I said, the Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 headphones are very similar to the Apple AirPods. They are made of the same glossy white plastic. The headphones have the same shape.

By the way, I always wondered why Apple chose this particular design. Is the microphone quality really better with that stick sticking out of your ear?

As you know, today you can find wireless Bluetooth headphones without a stick sticking out of your ear and with better microphone quality than the Apple AirPods. This is still a big mystery to me.

Let's return to Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2. On the outside of the earphone there is a touch panel for controls, for example, starting/pausing music, switching tracks, etc.

There is also an infrared sensor on the outside to stop music playback when you remove the headphones from your ear. It is very comfortable!

On the “leg” there is a two-pin charging connector and a microphone hole.

⇡#Display and sound

The Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro has almost the same display as the Xiaomi Mi 10: Super AMOLED, 6.67 inches, resolution 2340 × 1080 pixels (386 ppi). Almost, but not quite: a key element for our time is missing - an increased refresh rate, here only the most common 60 Hz. Yes, but an increased response frequency of the touch display is declared - up to 180 Hz. It seems like a small detail, but the gaming capabilities no longer give the impression of being maximum, and somewhere in this area the line between a semi-flagship smartphone and an ordinary one passes. The aggressive message of “killing” flagships is not fully sustained.

Overall, this is a good display - with all the necessary layers, an excellent oleophobic coating, a high-quality matrix, declared support for the HDR10+ standard and an abundance of settings, which will be discussed below.

You can enable the mode for displaying information on the locked screen (Always-On Dislpay), with an animation of your choice; There is a special reading mode with a warm screen tone, font adjustment, dark mode, even special parameters for working with VR. The color rendition adjustment system is very diverse: there is automatic correction depending on lighting, a saturated mode, an “original color shades” mode (the smartphone tries to adjust the color rendition to the current image as accurately as possible), and advanced settings where you can choose the color space yourself. I measured the color rendition of the display at its widest setting (enhanced mode) and with the original palette.

The maximum measured brightness of the Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro display was 520 cd/m2. For an OLED display, the indicator is more than good and corresponds to what is stated in the specifications.

With an “improved” color gamut with an expanded color gamut, the Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro screen demonstrates behavior quite expected for such a setting: the gamma is at a normal level (2.25), the color temperature is increased, but not prohibitively (the main fluctuations are from 7,500 to 8,000 K with a short-term drop to 6,600 K), the color gamut slightly exceeds DCI-P3, and the average DeltaE deviation on the Color Checker scale, which includes both a wide range of colors and shades of gray, is 4.32 with a norm of 3.00 - There is a deviation, but not very significant.

When the “original” mode is activated, the color gamut is narrowed to sRGB, but otherwise the behavior of the screen does not change: the gamma is 2.27, the temperature is identical, and the average DeltaE deviation on the Color Checker scale is 4.13. The screen is set up well, but not perfectly. Nevertheless, the situation is positively influenced by the abundance of user settings, which allow you to manually adjust the color rendition if you are not satisfied with the standard one.

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro has on board a relic analog headphone jack, especially for the near-flagship segment, but this does not automatically classify it as an audiophile device. In terms of sound quality, the smartphone is quite comparable to the same Redmi Note 9S, which turned out to be in a puddle when compared with the real Sony Walkman NWZ-A105 player. So this is more a matter of convenience and proximity to traditional users than sound quality. Stereo speakers, unfortunately, remained the privilege of the Xiaomi Mi 10 - there is a standard mono speaker; but very loud.

Design without sharp corners

Owners of Xiaomi devices have probably noticed that the designers of this company categorically do not accept sharp corners, which is clearly visible in the design of the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2. All components and parts of the electric scooter are rounded, and this concept gives the buyer an attractive image of a highly technical, but easy-to-use toys. A special role in this is played by gray plastic (officially this color of the scooter is called “black”, since there is a white model), which is used in the caps on the front motor wheel and shields.

It all looks practical and stylish. Combined color inserts not only add a special zest to the image, but also indicate that the scooter belongs to the category of scooter equipment: red ones are top-end equipment for the Pro version, and yellow ones are mid-budget. The yellow side reflectors placed on the “cheeks” of the front and rear forks also look beautiful.

By the way, the market also includes previous models belonging to the budget and mid-budget segment: Mi Electric Scooter Essential, Mi Electric Scooter 1S and Mijia M365. They have a similar design, but there are some simplifications in the design and a different control panel is used. In addition, more budget devices have a less powerful engine and a less capacious battery.

The appearance and some details of the scooter, compared to the previous version - Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Pro - have undergone slight changes. For example, in the Pro 2 version, the manufacturer decided to change the color of the braiding of the cables and wires going from the steering wheel to the rack from red to black, which, in my opinion, had a positive effect on the design.

Among the innovations in Pro 2, I note the appearance of a white reflector on the front of the steering rod and a change in the shape of the brake light on the rear panel. In addition, the shield itself finally received a metal bracket that holds it on the back side. Now this element is less susceptible to vibration and will not break due to accidental impacts. The unusual rectangular trim at the end of the fender is believed to be intended to mount a license plate, as is practiced in some European countries.

The manufacturer has added a few more changes to the scooter’s instrument cluster. The flashlight, located in the front of the console, received a more powerful LED - 2 W, and a lens that provides a brighter glow and a clear spot boundary. And although tilt angle adjustment is not provided, the flashlight now hardly dazzles oncoming passers-by.

The dashboard itself remains the same, with the exception of one detail: in the speed indicators, the safe driving mode (the slowest) is now indicated not by the word ECO, but by a pedestrian icon. Indeed, this speed is very suitable when driving in a stream of people on the sidewalk.

The disc brake also adds style to the design of this wheeled vehicle. In practice, he performed excellently, almost instantly blocking the rear wheel. That is why at high speed you should adapt to braking smoothly, otherwise there is a risk of flying over the steering wheel due to inertia.

⇡#Hardware and performance

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro received the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 platform, which can no longer be called its killer advantage due to the price, but the manufacturer claims that POCO can squeeze more out of it than others, either thanks to a special cooling system or software resources. Well, let's see.

First, let's recall the composition of the Snapdragon 865: one high-end modified Cortex-A77 core with a frequency of 2.84 GHz; three high-performance modified ARM Cortex-A77 cores with a frequency of 2.4 GHz and four energy-efficient modified ARM Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency of 1.8 GHz. The graphics subsystem is Adreno 650. It also uses the new AI engine AI Engine 5, which consists of the Hexagon Tensor Accelerator and Sensing Hub. Technological process - 7 nm.

Based on the test results, it is clear that POCO F2 Pro is indeed superior to Xiaomi Mi 10 in all synthetic tests, despite the fact that it has less RAM - 6 versus 8 GB (and LPDDR4X, not LPDDR5). There is also a version with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, but we didn’t get it for review. This is, of course, a competition of excesses - both devices (like any other Snapdragon 865) have the most exhaustive performance to date, but the knowledge that you officially have one of the most powerful smartphones modern can't help but warm you up.

With throttling, the story is the same as with the Xiaomi Mi 10 - despite the hefty vapor chamber, the CPU Throttling Test benchmark records a decrease in the operating frequency to 76% of the maximum, and with a smooth decrease in frequency towards the end, and not jumps in beginning or middle of the test. Average performance was 206 GIPS. I can’t call the problem truly serious, but this does impose some restrictions on the future of POCO F2 Pro as a gaming smartphone - there may be problems in long gaming sessions.

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro is equipped with either 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 flash memory without the possibility of expansion with a memory card - there is no slot for it. What can I say - 128 GB for a modern smartphone, especially with the ability to record 4K or, as here, 8K video, is literally the lower limit of the acceptable norm.

Nuances of design and equipment

The Mi Electric Scooter series has been on the market for several years now, and during this time the company’s engineers have made a number of improvements in the electronics and design of the scooter, increasing the reliability and durability of the device. In particular, the battery charging balance unit has been improved, the moisture protection of the electronics has been increased, and the mechanism for folding and fixing the steering wheel has been strengthened. At the same time, the central axis received a cap with an internal three-ray head, which, obviously, should make it difficult to unscrew it without special tools.

Over all the years of production of this model, its design still remains quite rigid, since it does not have shock absorbers on either the front or rear wheels. The manufacturer relied on a large diameter of inflated tires (8.5 inches), which effectively smooth out vibrations from small cracks in asphalt or tiles, but unpleasant impacts on the arms and chest when driving over large bumps on the road. Comfort could be increased by lowering the pressure in the tires, but then the tires will wear out faster, and the range will be significantly reduced due to increased rolling resistance.

In addition, the scooter's steering bar has not yet received a height adjustment function. It is quite high here, and for people of average height and teenagers, when rolling on foot, it turns out to be at chest level, and when driving - in the solar plexus area. Thus, during the trip, the arms are not in a resting position, which would unload the spine, but in a semi-bent state at the elbows. As a result, excessive arm tension leads to discomfort and fatigue during long trips.

The company's engineers have carefully thought out the mechanism for folding and securing the steering column, which ensures ideal rigidity. But when folded, the scooter still remains large, especially if you need to put it in the trunk of a car.

It is also somewhat annoying that the steering wheel handles do not fold. This is a terrible nuisance when traveling on public transport and when storing at home. At the same time, thanks to this design, there is simply nothing to play and creak, and subsequently become loose.

The deck (or footrest) has a gray silicone coating with anti-slip ridges all over the surface. Rubber protection was also installed around the entire perimeter. On the bottom of the scooter there is a plastic cover with rectangular stiffening ribs, screwed onto many protruding hex head screws. This solution, in my opinion, is not very practical. Dirt from under the front wheel will clog into these cells in rainy weather, and the protruding screw heads are very easy to accidentally damage on the curb.

⇡#Communications and wireless communications

Xiaomi POCO F2 can work with 5G networks, the modem included in the Snapdragon 865 is not disabled - another thing is that there will clearly be no need for this in the near future. There will be a need for 4G - and this is also in order: both in terms of speed (the manufacturer does not indicate the LTE category, but everything is clearly fine with this), and in terms of supported bands.

Wireless modules are presented in full: Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6), Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, infrared, dual-band GPS with GLONASS support, BeiDou, Galileo.

Engine power and range

This scooter has a 300W brushless motor, which has good energy efficiency and enough traction for fast acceleration and uphill climbing. My weight is about 80 kg, and with this load the scooter accelerates in S mode to 25 km/h in 6 seconds.

As the test showed, the front drive wheel on a country road often slips when overcoming bumps due to insufficient axle load. But front-wheel drive is a good solution when driving on loose or sandy soil.

The steering wheel does not lock when driving into a hole, which means there is no risk of flying over the steering wheel, as happens with rear-wheel drive versions. An example of such a flight when riding on uneven ground on a rear-wheel drive scooter from another manufacturer is shown below.

As for the autonomy reserve, the 12,800 mAh battery used in this model is capable of covering a distance of up to 45 km. After a full charge, information about the estimated range of 30 km became available in the mobile application. During tests, 19% of the charge was consumed over a distance of 20 km. But it is worth noting that when the charge drops to 30%, both power and movement speed drop. Therefore, it is worth focusing on a distance of 30-35 km.

In the Pro 2 version, the manufacturer used technology to recuperate energy from the scooter’s inertial movement, when the electric motor winding at idle begins to supply charging current to the battery. The effect of this is small, but the very fact of this possibility gives hope for the replenishment of spent energy.

To charge the battery, there is a special connector in the front of the deck, covered with a red silicone plug, which covers the hole with a magnet if you suddenly forget to snap it tightly into the cradle.

You can replenish the battery with energy using the supplied power supply at any time and at any charge level. If the battery is discharged, a full charge is completed in approximately 6 hours.

⇡#Camera

All “flagship killers” have one thing in common: compromise. If there is a big gain somewhere (in this case, in productivity), then somewhere there will definitely be a decrease. Otherwise, what’s the point - you don’t have to release the same Xiaomi Mi 10, because it will be outshone by a competitor under the same brand. In this case, the compromises affected primarily the camera. This is a quad module, but noticeably simpler, borrowed in part from Redmi Note 8 Pro/Redmi Note 9 Pro.

The main camera received a 64-megapixel Quad Bayer sensor Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 (dimensions - 1/1.7″), which offers shooting at a default resolution of 16 megapixels with the ability to force a switch to ultra-high resolution. The lens lacks optical stabilization, but has a fairly high aperture ratio - f/1.9. The main camera has a phase detection autofocus system. The wide-angle camera has changed compared to the latest Redmi Note: autofocus has not appeared, but the sensor resolution has increased (13 instead of 8 megapixels) with the same size of an individual pixel (1.12 microns), but the coverage angle has decreased (118 instead of 123 degrees) and the aperture has dropped optics (f/2.4 vs f/2.2).

There is no separate camera for zoom; double zooming is done by cropping a 64-megapixel image. The quality of shooting in this mode is quite good; the loss in light when shooting in ideal conditions is hardly noticeable. At dusk and especially at night - yes, the quality of the zoomed picture already suffers. In difficult lighting conditions, only the main module with a standard (26 mm) focal length feels confident. Wide-angle also allows you to achieve a very nice picture only during the day - but I did not notice any problems with the dynamic range, or with detail, or with the white balance “floating” from camera to camera, as is the case with inexpensive smartphones.

The white balance only changes when switching from 16-megapixel to 64-megapixel mode, but this is no longer so critical. Above you can see examples of pictures in these resolutions.

But Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro also has a feature that sets it apart from not only Redmi Note, but also Xiaomi Mi 10, and all modern smartphones. We are talking about the best macro camera to date, allowing you to achieve truly impressive close-up shots. The same sensor is installed here as in the Redmi Note 9 Pro (5 megapixels), but a fresh lens is used with an equivalent focal length of 50 mm and autofocus. The resolution is not high, but it is enough so that the picture does not suffer much due to a lack of detail (which is inevitable in common two-megapixel macro cameras), and a specialized module allows you to achieve a very short minimum focusing distance. Thanks to autofocus, you can not only use this camera in super close-ups, but also shoot from a certain distance, achieving, among other things, extremely expressive (and natural) bokeh.

The fourth camera in POCO F2 Pro is responsible for artificial background blur - this is an ordinary depth sensor, which is based on a two-megapixel sensor. The smartphone blurs the background decently, there are various effects and a beautifier, but the problems are well known from other Xiaomi - in portrait mode there is no zoom option, which is why only general and (to a certain extent) half-length shots come out well; In close-ups, geometric distortions characteristic of wide-angle optics are very noticeable.

There is a specialized night mode, available only when working with the main camera - with a regular viewing angle or with a hybrid 2x zoom. It works moderately efficiently, it’s quite possible to shoot at night with the POCO F2 Pro, but the smartphone doesn’t pretend to achieve any special heights in this regard.

The algorithms are reminiscent of those in the Mi 10 - the smartphone often goes overboard with saturation, making color accents bright but unnatural. However, the help of neural networks can be disabled - so this is not for everyone.

The camera application in Poco Launcher is no different from the standard one for MIUI 11. There is also a watermark enabled by default indicating the smartphone model you are taking pictures with. Don't forget to turn it off in a timely manner - although you can erase it later in the gallery.

In video shooting, Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro demonstrates impressive functionality: it is possible to record 8K video at 30 frames per second, 4K shooting is available at up to 60 frames with stabilization, as well as “enhanced” stabilization in Full HD 30p. There is a VLOG function, thanks to which you can glue videos for social networks on the go, there is a beautifier for videos, the ability to shoot videos with a blurred background, an assistant for shooting video clips, shooting videos using macro optics... In general, with Xiaomi smartphones this season, few can compare in terms of video shooting capabilities. In terms of quality, yes, but here too the POCO F2 Pro performs well.

The front camera is close to the one installed in Mi 10 - 20 megapixels, but the lens is simpler: f/2.2 aperture instead of f/2.0, fixed focus. The focus is set correctly, spatial distortion when shooting self-portraits is not too significant, there is software bokeh and a beautifier. You can shoot in low light and backlit situations with a certain degree of confidence.

How to connect Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 to a smartphone?

Now let's connect the new Xiaomi headphones to the smartphone. Of course, it is best to use Xiaomi smartphones because the MIUI user interface has a fast headphone connection feature.

When you connect for the first time, you will see a pop-up window to quickly connect your headphones. After connecting, another window will appear with the battery level of the charging case and the headphones themselves.

Of course, you can connect Xiaomi AirDots 2 to any other Android and iOS smartphone, but to do this you need to go to the Bluetooth settings menu and select Mi True Wireless Earphones 2.

⇡#Autonomous work

Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro received a battery with a capacity of 17.86 Wh (4700 mAh, 3.8 V). Slightly less than Mi 10, but the difference is negligible and is not felt in real-life scenarios. Just like the official flagship of the brand, the second Pocophone is enough for a day of active use without any problems. Even with intensive use of the device, it is unlikely to require refueling in the middle of the day.

In our traditional test with Full HD video playback at maximum brightness, with updates and notifications turned on, the smartphone almost reached sixteen hours of continuous operation - a very good result.

The USB Type-C port is used for charging; a fast charging system with the included 30 W adapter is supported. The smartphone is fully charged in just over an hour. Wireless charging is not supported.

conclusions

Good sounding Airdots, fast charging, quality materials. The matte finish may deteriorate over time, but this only happens after prolonged or improper use.

Lack of Russian or other language in the application. Xiaomi Pro 2 should not be used when jogging or working out in the gym.

The moisture-resistant coating will protect Xiaomi Airdots from moisture or raindrops, but immersion in water is not recommended. Noise cancellation does not drown out external sounds. The exterior design is attractive.

How long do Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 last on one charge?

You will be surprised, but I did not find information about the battery capacity of Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 headphones and charging case. However, I do know the battery life.

Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 work up to 4 hours on a single charge.

Using the charging case, battery life increases to 14 hours.

Charging time for headphones in the case is about 1 hour. It takes 2 hours to fully charge the charging case.

Overall, the battery life of the Xiaomi AirDots Pro 2 is good, but not amazing.

We recently published an article about the Haylou T15 with 60 hours of battery life. This is 4 times more than AirDots Pro 2.
