Xiaomi Redmi 10 - Smartphone 128GB, 4GB RAM, Dual Sim, Pebble White

Product Information

The Xiaomi Redmi 10's screen is one of the stronger parts of the phone, although primarily against rival brands rather than other Xiaomi Androids you might buy.

The Xiaomi Redmi 10 does have some more obvious issues with gaming, particularly when compared to a slightly more expensive barnstormer like the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro. Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 678 processor, Adreno 612 GPU and a massive 5000mAh battery supported by 33W Fast charger(in-box)Get an unmatched immersive viewing experience on the Redmi Note 10 with 1100-nits Ultra Bright Display The Redmi 10's design is a good example of ‘faking it’. This is a concept we've talked about before. Lots of all-plastic phones are dressed up like higher-end ones, with the intention to appear like metal and glass designs. The Xiaomi Redmi 10's camera is its most deceptive area. It looks and sounds advanced. The camera array seems like the photographic equivalent of a Swiss army knife from a glance, and it has a 50MP sensor. In a phone at this level we don’t expect high-end video features like stabilized 4K and 120fps slow-mo, but the Redmi 10 is limited to 1080p, 30 frames per second capture. And even at this lowly capture rate it can’t manage electronic/software stabilization.

There are some less deceptive parts to the design. The Redmi 9 had a teardrop notch, the Redmi 10 has a punch-hole, which looks more modern to most eyes. The Redmi 10 Prime promises to deliver a wholesome experience with 16.5cm(6.5) FHD+ 90Hz Adaptive Refresh Rate display. The superstar is smart enough to detect the kind of application usage and accordingly sync to the required refresh rate*, thus optimizing the battery usage as well. For the students or our readers we have the all-new Reading Mode 3.0, it also comes with sunlight mode and dark mode features. However, most of it is minimal enough that we barely registered it after a few days of use. Gaming and performanceThis phone has a MediaTek Helio G88, a low-end processor made for 4G phones. You might compare it to something like the Snapdragon 662 used in the Moto G30. Not only does this device has an amazing camera setup, a bunch of camera features and gallery filters but the Redmi 10 Prime also comes with a crystal-clear Dual Stereo Speaker setup. Along with that, it also comes with Dual Mics, on the top and the bottom, which helps record audio even on the go making this Superstar a Content Creator’s Paradise. Next to a slightly older phone you can buy at a similar price (albeit the lesser storage version), the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC, the Redmi 10’s main camera is dismal. Video clips taken with the phone will also often turn out unusable because there is no stabilization. Even with the top-end version of the Redmi 10, with 6GB of RAM, you can’t run Fortnite. Epic Games won’t even let you install it. ARK: Survival Evolved runs quite poorly at higher graphics settings and Asphalt 9’s frame rate noticeably slows down in busier moments. That game’s busier moments often arrive several times in a 10-second window.

Xiaomi also uses relatively slow eMMC storage in this phone, although with read speeds of 283MB/s and writes of 152MB/s we’re not looking at anything too bad. Still, the Poco X3 Pro gets you reads of around 1000MB/s. It's a real performance outlier. Bad news: where phones at this level typically have one decent camera and a bunch of duds, the Redmi 10 has no good cameras. Until now we've only really had high-quality 50MP cameras in phones, like those of the Oppo Find X3 Pro. But Samsung, as it has done several times in the past, lowers the tone with the S5KJN1 sensor seen here. At this affordable level, Samsung and Motorola both use 720p screens with a lower pixel density than the Redmi 10’s. This 6.5-inch screen is very sharp. Pixel density of around 405 pixels per inch is fantastic for a phone this cheap.

We noticed this when taking photos outside. This kind of screen brightness doesn’t make the preview image appear all that clear in direct sunlight. Cameras The Xiaomi Redmi 10 has a 5,000mAh battery, much like most of its arch rivals and its significantly larger siblings. We find that while the Moto G50 tends to last longer between charges, few will find any reason to complain here.
