Design

Looking alike other Chinese phones these days, Redmi Note 10 Pro tops up a selfie notch on a flat screen. A Quadruple Camera setup aligned vertically along the back-right corner. Fingerprint Reader moved toward the power button side. Thankfully, you are not the one saying bye, bye to 3.5 mm audio jack. USB Type C is there on the bottom, but of old version 2.0.

Enjoy Full HD cinema on Netflix. HDR10 enhances colors saturation. The typical brightness is 450 nits, whereas the max bright level is 1200 nits for the peak performance under sunlight.

Software

MIUI 12 is the new skin of newer Android 11. The OS comes pre-installed with Dynamic Media Control, Built-in Screen Recorder, Greater Control over Conversation and Notification, Schedule Dark theme, and Temporary Permission Grant for apps.

Camera

Not to be fooled by megapixels, a 108MP main lens offer good image quality but lacking video stabilization support (OIS and EIS) for recording. Create 4k snapshots at 30fps or have more fun with FHD slow-mo records at 60fps. The night mode, aided by AI algorithm, let you click sharp photographs despite low light. Three more lenses are 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 2MP depth. Secondary lens is to offer ultimate view for landscapes and capture 118 degree field of view. The third macro camera is a fun-to-use, thanks to 9-in-1 pixel binding and 2x roughly zoomed-in view capability. The last fourth 2MP is just to count more on lenses, while assisting other optics.

Chipset

Epic Games and Graphics are superb in the administration of Snapdragon 732G chipset and Adreno 618 GPU. Scoring 336,250 on the AnTuTu v9 benchmark, Redmi Note 10 Pro performs above average cell phone in the market. Three RAM and Storage pairs are, 6/64 GB, 6/128 GB, and 8/128 GB. More RAM means more apps, thus choose accordingly.

Lasting 28 hours of talks, 14 hours of browsing, and 17 hours of video playback, this is battery life that you can expect for a Pro smartphone, thanks Redmi. A 33W Fast Charge let’s you top up 5020mAh powerhouse within an hour. The first 30-minute charge would give 59 percent.
