Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 smartphone in review: IP-certified smartphone for under 200 Euros

No NFC, but infrared is included. The list of features of the Redmi Note 10 is not particularly long, but it draws attention with things like an AMOLED display, a 48 MP main camera, and a large battery. Our review will clarify what the device is ultimately capable of in everyday use.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10

After our review of the Redmi Note 9, we described the budget phone as the ideal entry into the world of smartphones. Now, we have with us the successor model that costs just under 200 Euros (~$244) and comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, and we'll have to see whether it can also earn this title. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 SoC, which has an integrated Adreno 612 graphics unit, should help with that.

With these specs, we put the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 up against the rival devices listed below. Other smartphones from our database can also be added for comparison under each section.

Case - Redmi phone protected against dust and splashing water

The design of the Redmi Note 10 is very attractive, and the smartphone has a high-quality build. The back and the frame are made of plastic, while the front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. In addition, the case is protected against dust and splashing water according to the IP53 standard, but it's not completely waterproof.

With a weight of approximately 179 g, the Note 10 is slightly lighter than the Redmi Note 9 predecessor. At the same time, the dimensions are on par with comparable smartphones.

Software - MIUI 12 with a bit of advertisement

Xiaomi uses the in-house MIUI 12, which is based on Android 11, in the Redmi Note 10. Its operation is similar to that of a pure Android system, but many customized apps and menu structures have been implemented. In addition, there are ads, which we could notice, for example, in the file manager after manually installing apps. Furthermore, numerous third-party applications are installed, but they can be removed without any issues.

Telephone and call quality - Good connection with the Redmi Note 10

The Redmi Note 10's phone app offers direct access to saved favorites and a numeric keypad. Two additional tabs provide access to recent calls and the contacts list. Both parties can be understood well during the call, and ambient noise is filtered out as long as it's not too loud.

Cameras - Quad-camera setup delivers good pictures

Front-facing camera sample
Front-facing camera sample

The front-facing camera of the Redmi Note 10 offers portrait shots with a resolution of 13 MP. Pictures are slightly softened in the default settings, which causes details that are actually clearly recognizable to look a bit blurry. Colors are reproduced naturally, and a special portrait mode allows the adjustment of a bokeh effect before the picture is taken.

The main camera takes photos with a 48 MP sensor plus a 2 MP sensor for depth information. In good lighting conditions, subjects captured with it look very natural and show many details. This also applies to panorama shots, although dark image areas turn out a bit too dark here. The ultra wide-angle sensor offers 8 MP; it reproduces object edges with a slight blur and uniform surfaces with a subtle graininess. In low-light conditions, objects in the image only turn out blurry as well, and they are too dark. A 2 MP sensor is still available for macro shots, but it delivers rather mediocre results. Moreover, an optical zoom is not available, but a Pro mode that allows individual modifications to the settings is provided.

Videos are recorded with a similar quality as that shown by our sample photos. The available resolutions and frame rates are 720p at 30 fps, 1080p at 30 and 60 fps, and 4K at 30 fps. In addition, there's a time-lapse and a slow-motion mode, with the latter offering frame rates of 120, 240, or 960 fps at a resolution of 720p.

The Redmi Note 10's screen consists of a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. The maximum brightness of 693 cd/m² on average when the sensor is enabled is above the scores of the rest of our test field. In the APL50 test, an even higher 987 cd/m² is achieved. The brightness still reaches 433 cd/m² with the sensor deactivated and 2.42 cd/m² at the lowest luminance level.

We also measure PWM starting at brightness levels below 69% within a frequency range between 113.6 and 250 Hz. Above that, we only detect the panel's refresh rate of 60 Hz.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 250 Hz ≤ 69 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 250 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 69 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 250 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

As is typical for OLED technologies, the black level of the Redmi Note 10 is 0 cd/m², and the contrast ratio is excellent. The CalMAN analysis also shows that the display shows colors in a very balanced way in the "Standard" profile.

Games - Smooth gaming is possible with the Xiaomi smartphone

The Qualcomm Adreno 612 used in the Redmi Note 10 can run modern games at a smooth 30 fps at medium settings. If details are reduced, higher frame rates are also achievable, but this depends on the game. The titles that we tested with Gamebench also show that only very demanding games, such as Asphalt 9: Legends, can lead to small stutters at high graphics settings.

According to our measurements, the Xiaomi smartphone heats up to 40 °C (~104 °F) under load. This makes it feel warm, but it never gets too hot to hold it in the hand, for example. The two GFXBench endurance tests, Manhattan 3.1 and ES 2.0, also show that users don't have to expect a drop in performance under heavy system load. In addition, the 3DMark Wild Life stress test proves that the Redmi Note 10 has a very good system stability.

In review: Xiaomi Redmi Note 10. Test device provided by:
In review: Xiaomi Redmi Note 10. Test device provided by:

With the Redmi Note 10, Xiaomi once again delivers a smartphone with a high-quality build and impressive internals considering the price of approximately 200 Euros (~$244). Both the camera setup and the system performance are suitable for everyday use, and two nano SIM slots plus a microSD card slot are provided. In addition, there's an infrared sensor, which is especially useful to replace remote controls at home.

Considering the price, we are particularly impressed by the high-quality case of the Redmi Note 10, but its performance is also good.

However, the low price is also reflected in minor shortcomings. For instance, there is no NFC sensor installed, and only 4 GB of RAM are used. In addition, MIUI 12 occasionally displays ads, which can lead to frustration due the automatic restrictions of applications. However, this all happens to a very minor extent, which is why we only want to mention it here.

Price and availability

The Redmi Note 10 can be found on Amazon starting at $215 for the 64 GB version and going up to $232 for the 128 GB configuration.
