Design

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is a relatively inexpensive phone that brings premium looks and features to the table. Actually, the only things about it that one might consider mid-ranger are the chipset and the low-light camera performance. Let us talk about the build first. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is made from curved glass on the back with a glossy gradient finish. The looks of the symmetrical camera bump are something to like too, even though the phone has a plastic frame.

On top of all this, the Note 10 Pro has IP53 rated dust and splash protection, something you don’t normally see in phones of this class. Waking up and unlocking the Redmi Note 10 Pro is done with a side-mounted fingerprint reader built into the power button is quite fast and accurate. And there’s an IR blaster too, which allows you to use the phone as a remote to control certain appliances with.

Display

Just like you’d find on an expensive flagship, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 6.67 inch AMOLED display with a fast 120 Hertz refresh rate, gorilla glass 5 protection, and a 1080 P resolution. High refresh rates screens in this class are usually LCDs. So here you get the advantage of OLED technology with this deep contrast and blacks. Interacting with this screen feels fluid and responsive. There is also the fast 240 Hertz touch sampling rate. This refresh rate is adaptive. This means it will dial down to 60 Hertz when you’re not interacting with the screen to save even more energy.

This display also makes use of a punch hole for the selfie camera. It is quite small and unobtrusive. Brightness is quite respectable as well. It measures around 450 minutes maximum with the slider and it boosts up to 725 knits in auto mode, went out in the sun. There is support for an always-on display, which has plenty of customization options. You can even make the phone glow at the edges when a new notification comes in.

Platform

At the heart of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, Pro is a Snapdragon 732G chipset built on an 8-nanometer process. Well, this isn’t the highest tier of mid-range chipsets. And there’s no support for 5g network connectivity on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. And since there isn’t a flagship-grade GPU high frame rate gaming isn’t really supported. But even so, the Redmi Note 10 Pro holds its own and does a nice job performance-wise for its class. The new UI interface is as smooth as butter. The whole device is powered by a large 5,020 mAh battery and battery life is excellent. You get support for 30-watt fast charging and a 33-watt charger comes in the box. With it, you will be able to charge the Note 10 pro from a dead battery to 50% in half an hour.

Storage and UI

One gets 64 or 128 gigs of storage on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, which is expandable via dedicated micro SST. The interface of the note 10 pro is Xiaomi’s MIUI 12 over Android 11. But even though it is running on top of the new Android, this is still the familiar MIUI interface we’ve seen on Redmi’s recent phones. You have the option for an app drawer, or you can opt to keep all of your apps on the home screen. And you can also choose between the traditional notification shade or split between a notification center and a control center.

Pro-grade cameras

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a quad-camera setup with a high rise, 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide cam, a 5-megapixel tele macro camera auto-focus, and a depth sensor. The main camera outputs 12-megapixel photos. And these are not just outstanding for this class, and could even be considered flagship level. There’s abundant detail with low noise, and true-to-life colors. Portrait shots are taken with the main camera and the depth sensor. The quality here is quite nice just like on the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max smartphone.

The 5-megapixel tele macro camera is used to take close-up shots. These are detailed with lively colors. Selfies are taken with the 16-megapixel front-facing camera, which has a fixed focus. These have enough detail with nice colors and excellent contrast. Videos can be taken in up to 4k at 30 FPS with the main camera. This footage is great with plenty of detail, low noise, and excellent sharpness. The ultra-wide cam can only shoot enough to 1080P at 30 FPS.

Audio

On the audio side of things. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a pair of dedicated stereo speakers. Their output is well balanced and they score very well in the loudness test. Mids and highs sound decent enough, but the bass is kinda lacking here. There’s also a 3.5-millimeter jack for playing in traditional headphones, as well as support for FM radio.
