Redmi Note 10 5G

Technical specifications

I purchased this phone 3 weeks ago and I am writing from the perspective of a Samsung fan. I chose Xiaomi because at the moment Samsung does not offer any phone on the market that has both 5G and FM radio; I only found this combination in this Xiaomi. The smartphone itself runs very smoothly, it does not freeze, 4 GB of RAM is not something impressive, but it is enough, 128 GB of ROM is a truly high value here. The screen has a maximum brightness of about 500 nits, which is sufficient everywhere except in strong summer sunlight; then the phone can be used, but it is not pleasant. The 90 Hz refresh rate is visible and felt, unfortunately also in battery consumption. Speaking of which, with a screen brightness of 50%, 10-11h SOT, that is screen-on time, can be achieved with the screen set to 60 Hz, when we have 90 Hz it is 8-9h. When playing games or increasing the screen brightness to 100%, these times drop to about 4-6 h, depending on the display settings. The MIUI overlay, first 12, now 13, works only correctly, as sometimes there are errors such as being unable to open settings; the errors disappear after locking and unlocking the screen. Connectivity: everything is okay here, the phone holds the range well, it does not lose it, VoLTE works, the speaker and microphone are without complaints. Now I will move to the two biggest disadvantages of this phone: the speaker, which in itself plays quite well, but flatly, but the worst is the music listening software, which does not offer any sound effects as standard, let alone a concert hall like in Sound Assistant on Samsung phones. The second serious disadvantage is the cameras. Most importantly, the device does not have a wide-angle camera, which is standard in most smartphones today, and the front selfie camera sometimes loses focus. Only the other two work tolerably, that is the main and macro. On a scale of 1 to 10, I can rate it as a 7+/10.

With each subsequent update of the system and the UI overlay, it works less stably. Freezes, loss of communication: sometimes it loses Wi-Fi, sometimes the signal during a call, it disconnects Bluetooth - it is necessary to restart. The memory fills up instantly.

Among the advantages - a very good battery. All parameters are correct, sufficient for calls and browsing the internet.

I have had the phone for 3 years. From the beginning, there were problems with it. Nothing worked correctly. After 2 months, an update helped a bit, but Messenger did not function properly. At the beginning of 2023, it surpassed itself. It began to work very slowly, it started in safe mode. However, the memory card was destroyed. I spent a large amount of money to recover photos that were very important to me. A few days ago, something malfunctioned again and only a reset helped. I lost apps, photos, everything. Never again this worthless device.

One might not like Chinese products for their plastic feel, but one thing must be admitted: this Chinese product, namely the Xiaomi brand, offers quality at a reasonable price. And it is true that the quality corresponds to the price, but one cannot complain about a device with 5G at this price point. It works reasonably well and such performance can be tolerated. It is far from perfect, but in this price range, perhaps only Motorola makes better phones. This REDMI model can be recommended to calm and patient people.

We have 4 such phones in our family. At first, it was intended for the child, then for the grandmother, and now my husband and I also have them. This equipment is satisfactory. It works correctly. It is not the highest quality of workmanship, but for one thousand, one cannot expect more. However, it has 5G, which, in the case of living in a large city, makes a difference when using the internet and navigation. It can be recommended.

Hello dear Editors. I purchased this model yesterday. It does not have an Amoled screen but an IPS one. And it does not have stereo speakers. Regards.
I admit that I do not know where these errors came from. They happen, but these are very strange, I apologize. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and regards. (jf)

Switching from the Redmi Note 9 Pro to the regular 10 with 5G was a mistake. I have had the phone for a few days and I am already tired of the constant waiting for pages to load and for apps to open.... YT works in such a way that the audio plays faster than the video; overall, it is an unattractive and very slow device.

The smartphone is generally acceptable, it is not particularly impressive, it works reasonably well, this 5G modem in the city center gives the impression that it is a high-end device, it indeed speeds up data downloading, but otherwise it is an ordinary model. It can be recommended as a router/modem ..

The worst phone I have ever had in my life, but the price speaks for itself. It operates unpredictably, turns off, restarts, and completely freezes despite updates.

The cheapest 5G phone and the best one I have had. I recommend it to everyone.
