Xiaomi Redmi 10 Review

Introduction:

This is the redmi 10 the most recent financial plan telephone from the xiaomi sub brand and it offers a bunch of desirable features at a pretty low price but for this kind of money you can't get everything i'm will for gsm marina and let's see what the redmi 10 does have to offer in our full review.

Design and Build:

At launch the redmi 10 is a little bit pricier than the previous model of the redmi 9 when it came out last year but at the same time it tries to improve upon it in pretty much every office to the extent the plan goes xiaomi has stirred things up a bit the back and frame are still plastic but this time around there's a smooth finish rather than a textured one at least in our pebble white model the camera knock is bigger and fancier looking and on the front you have a poke hole for the selfie cam.

Screen:

Instead of a score this screen is a 6.5 inch ips lcd with a 1080p resolution quite similar to last year the aspect ratio was a little bit taller this time around and this display features a fast 90 hertz refresh rate this means that swiping and scrolling on this screen is smoother than on the redmi 9 but the refresh rate isn't really adaptive to save energy only dialing down to 60 hertz in video player applications in general this showcase is very decent for a lcd blacks are pretty deep and any light bleed around the edges of the selfie cutout is minimal colors are accurate depending on the color preset you choose and brightness is decent enough for use outdoors we measured around 400 nits maximum with the slider and it boosts up to 480 nits in auto mode when in bright conditions.

Stereo Speaker Headphone: 

There's a 3.5 millimeter jack for plugging in headphones as well as a pair of stereo speakers one on each end of the frame they're a nice upgrade over last year's single speaker and earned a score of good on our loudness charts the sound is clear and punchy though the bass is a little bit on the flat side.

Fingerprint:

You can wake up and unlock the redmi 10 with a side mounted finger impression scanner incorporated into the force button as we’ve come to expect from xiaomi it's fast and accurate.

Storage:

And for storage you have options for 64 or 128 gigs on board and it's expandable through micro sd.

UI/UX:

The user interface of the redmi 10 is xiaomi’s latest miui 12..5 dependent on android 11. is essentially what we’ve seen from xiaomi for the past couple of years with just a few newer tweaks behind the scenes there's support for an application cabinet and it coordinates  your applications into classes you have the option to split the notification shade in two so swiping from the left corner will get to your notices and swiping from the right corner will open up your quick toggle settings and you get highlights like an ir blaster which allows you to utilize the telephone as a remote control and you get fm radio support too the redmi 10 runs on a mediatek helio g88 chipset built on a 12 nanometer process it has slightly higher cpu and gpu clock speeds than the helio g80 and the redmi note for some reason most of the benchmarks were blocked from running on our unit but we had the option to get geekbench 5 to work and in general the presentation is in line with what we saw last year adequate for the cost yet nothing exceptional this is a long way from a gaming telephone everyday undertakings run okay mostly smooth thanks to the high refresh rate and streamlined ui but you do run into hiccups from time to time.

Battery:

Powering the redmi 10 is a large 5 000 milliamp hour battery and the phone earned an endurance rating of 127 hours in our proprietary tests this is good don't get me wrong but it falls behind other mid-range and budget phones with the same battery capacity the phone comes with an 18 watt charger and just as you'd expect it's not so fast to top up this big battery with it we charged the phone from zero to just 26 percent in half an hour.

Camera:

Now let's talk about the cameras this year there's a new main cam with a 50 megapixel quad bayer sensor and along with that you get an 8 megapixel ultra wide cam a 2 megapixel macro cam and a depth sensor.

Photo Quality:

Although it may sound more impressive on paper the new main camera's performance is underwhelming during the day you do get an awesome measure of detail particularly considering this value section but the colors are far from reality and there's poor contrast what’s more, unique reach pictures aren’t extraordinary the edge location is harsh and unless there's a lot of light like outside in the sun the images come out commonly delicate eight megapixel shots from the ultra wide camera are actually nice for the budget the colors are more saturated and lively than the primary cams and the contortion adjustment makes a pleasant showing there’s acceptable contrast and the corner softness isn't too bad two megapixel shots from the large scale cam are simply normal sharpness is pleasant yet colors aren’t excessively lively and the amount of detail is limited by the resolution there's no autofocus here either to help with the shooting process

Low Light Photo Quality:

In low light the main camera takes ok photos which is an improvement from last year’s model tones are sufficiently soaked and you end up with some preserved detail and shadows but still the images are soft with clipped highlights and contrast leaves more to be desired you do get night mode support here unlike on the redmi 9 it provides a significant improvement in sharpness fine detail dynamic reach and generally picture quality and it doesn’t take that long to process either there's no night mode on the ultra wide cam but its low light photos are still above average for the class there's good contrast punchy colors and a good amount of detail the openness is on the more obscure side and the sharpness could be better yet the se are overall very usable. 

Selfies:

Selfies are taken with the 8 megapixel front facing cam and they are pretty good we'd say better than last year there's plenty of fine detail vibrant colors and sufficiently wide unique reach and the telephone works really hard uncovering for the subject’s face even in backlight situations.

Video Quality:

video can be captured in up to 1080p resolution at 30fps and there's no electronic stabilization available the main cams footage is uninspiring there's not a lot of detail and there is noticeable over sharpening even though videos from the ultra wide cam have a darker exposure we'd say they look a bit better while you do get a similar degree of sharpness there’s more difference and the shadings are vivid but not over the top. 

Conclusion:

So that's the xiaomi redmi 10 you get a sleek looking design and a large high refresh rate lcd screen there are sound system speakers and battery life is acceptable as well and the cameras make a good showing with night for a budget phone now there are a few shortcomings which you'd expect at this price like the mediocre chipset and slow charging and the overall camera experience but probably the biggest downside is the availability for now you can only get the redmi 10 in certain markets overall if you are in one of these markets and you're shopping for a budget phone the redmi 10 is worth looking into just remember to compare to the other decent phones at this price many of which also come from xiaomi thanks for watching guys stay safe and see you on the next one [Music]
