REDMI NOTE 10 PRO

-

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is a powerful mid-range smartphone that feels more like a flagship device. It may be inexpensiv­e, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking features. The 6.7” full HD+ AMOLED screen has a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz. The crisp display with high contrast is great for mobile gaming, or just everyday use.

Inside is a better-than-average Snapdragon 732 G processor, as well as an impressive 5 020 mAH (fast-charging compatible) battery, delivering more than enough power to get you through the day. The quad-camera set-up includes a 108 MP wide main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide, 5 MP telemacro, and a 2 MP depth sensor lens. While many brands offer this kind of set-up, we found the image quality from the Note 10 Pro to be exceptiona­lly good. Even close-up macro shots are impressive (and that’s while using digital zoom). Several photograph­y modes are included, such as slow motion, long exposure, panorama, and an upgraded night mode, as well as practical options such as document scanning. These can be personalis­ed to your needs, and let’s not overlook the 16 MP selfie cam with its AI-enhanced beauty and portrait modes.

Looking beyond its photograph­y features, the device can accommodat­e two SIM cards, as well all a microSD card to bump up the storage capacity. Something rarely seen these days – a headphone jack – is included, and stereo speakers. Boasting all these features at this price, this is up there with the best budget phones you can buy.
