Most recently, Xiaomi introduced the REDMI Note 10 smartphones for the world market 10. And now the most popular model has already visited our review. For those who are too lazy to read the whole article, write at once: Yes, it's still "Top for your money." But why, let's tell you below and with examples.
What's in the box
Since we are dealing with an inexpensive device, then the equipment is much richer than the flagships. Yes, it sounds strange, but such is today's reality. Therefore, in a conventional chubby box, except for the phone, we will find a huge power supply for quick charging, cable, clip and transparent silicone case. It is not enough for the headsets, but from this excess we have studied us a long time ago.
What looks like
More expensive money! It so happened that in my hands some time was simultaneously Redmi Note 9t (his review would be a little later), Galaxy S21 (we recently compared with the iPhone 12) and the hero of today's review. So, Redmi Note 10 looks exactly better than its fellow and quite at the level of a much more expensive device from Samsung.
At the same time, nothing unusual and persecuted. We are completely standard calm design in our case of gray color with a slight overflowing gradient. True, unlike the same Note 9t and Galaxy S21, here the lid is glossy, with a bang gathering all the dirt.
Material everywhere, including ends, plastic. The module with cameras is already familiar to the lid. Designers will give due for the fact that the block is decorated as if we have the most serious system from the coolest chambers. So it is or not, let's see a little lower in the appropriate section.
Briefly about the layout of different elements on the ends. Right - volume buttons and power on. On the left - the tray in which the memory card can also fit at the same time, and two SIM cards at once. From above - microphone, IR port and speaker. The bottom is another microphone and speaker (stereo sound), as well as an audio jack and a USB Type-C port.
Display
The screen is the main advantage of Redmi Note 10. A huge 6.4-inch amoled matrix is an extremely rare guest in this price range. And then there is also a high resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels and peak brightness, allowing you to easily use the device at least in the winter sun.
Sometimes in the network you can meet the information that the matrix at the Redmi Note 10 is updated with a frequency of 120 Hz. This is not the case, here are the standard 60 Hz, and twice the above is the program version of the device. However, using some time with smart phones with an increased frequency of the display, I can say that this function is if and causes Wow effect, then in the first minutes. Still, in most cases, additional plans are noticeable only in the phone interface, and in applications and games there will be no additional kayfs from a 120-gigahertz matrix.
The screen is the main chip of Redmi Note 10, which helps the smartphone look more expensive than he really is. But a nuance is connected with the display, which hints at the non-drug nature of the apparatus. We are talking about a wide "lip" under the matrix.
In general, we got an excellent display that will not give up and flagships.
Sound and confidentiality
Sound through stereo speakers loud, it is suitable in order not to miss a call in a noisy place. At the maximum volume, the speakers will not rattling, but also some special supercard from them should not be expected.
Also in headphones: you can listen to music, but the smartphone does not pretend to the Meloman Lavra. Again, taking into account the price of claims here can not be: in this price category, it still does not happen.
Dactyloscopic sensor is built into the lateral power button Redmi Note 10. I still believe that this is the most successful placement of the sensor. It works unmistakably and instantly - there are no questions.
The front camera is responsible for face recognition. In the afternoon, such a way of unlocking can be used, but in full dark it may not work.
Camera
A cool tendency is to highlight a block with cams with huge protruding blocks, even when it is absolutely no need. Apparently, it emphasizes the relationship with expensive camera phones. So and in the case of Redmi Note 10: on external signs you might think that we have a steep four-chained monster.

In fact, as it often happens with the budget and middle price segment, two sensors here are purely "for a tick" - this is a depth sensor and a 2-megapixel maccar. There are 48 megapixel main and 8 megapixel superwatch - and test them.
For a day photo with good lighting, no longer complain even in low-cost smartphones. Redmi Note 10 does not lag behind: the photo is excellent and clear in all senses. Maybe only not always the correct balance of white too lights some sections, hiding the items.
By default, the smartphone removes with a resolution of 12 megapixel. 48 MP mode is useful if you plan to subsequently bring some areas in the picture. This makes sense, since crop from 48 megapixel turns out noticeably more than the zoom in 12 MP mode.

But with 48 MP, many "enhancements" do not work like a night regime. With insufficient illumination, it is better to rely on 12 MPs, automation and artificial intelligence than a large resolution.

The superwatching module is also worth corrective white balance. It is useless to use it at night.
In general, REDMI Note 10 is typical for its price the level of photography. In the day photos now and do not discern at all, what they are removed: on the expensive cameraphone or on an affordable state industry industry.
Performance
"Heart" for Redmi Note 10 became the 8-core processor Snapdragon 678. The chip is completely fresh, and not all the benchmarks recognize it. This is a slightly improved version of the Middle Budgent Snapdragon 675, which is widely used since 2018.
In the novelty compared to the predecessor raised the peak frequency of the two high-performance cortex-a76 nuclei - from 2 to 2.2 GHz. Perhaps also slightly dispersed the graphics core of Adreno 612. The technical process remained 11-nanometer.
In the benchmarks, the stars processor from the sky lacks and dials the usual "parrots" for its level. In the daily productivity of the chip, there is enough for smooth, without annoying lags, the interface is working. Heavy games go either on medium-low graphics settings, or with a small, but noticeable Seduction FPS.
RAM 4 GB, built-in - 64 or 128. Everything is standard here. For enthusiasts, a model with 6 GB of RAM and a 128 GB drive is available, but the price is suitable.
Autonomy
The battery for 5000 mA · h makes two days not to think about charging. A decent indicator, which, if desired, can still stretch on a piece of third day.
There is a quick charge, but there is no wireless yet. Most likely, she will begin to actively appear in this price segment to actively appear by the end of this or early next year.
Competitors
Taking into account the price and characteristics of competitors from Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 times, two - and turned around. They are actually only two, and the most obvious and dangerous one.
Samsung Galaxy A32 is the most obvious competitor for REDMI. The characteristics of smartphones are very similar, right up to the dimensions. Both devices gained similar amoled displays, cameras, batteries, support fast charging and so on. The advantages of A32 will take the frequency of updating the display of 90 Hz and NFC support. In turn, Redmi Note 10 has a slightly powerful processor, a more convenient dactyloscopic sensor, there are stereo speakers and a more affordable price.
Honor 30i is another competitor, but rather conditional, as it refers to a more budgetary class. It's just another one of the few low-cost devices with an amoled display. The Honor apparatus is noticeably cheaper, it has NFC and twice the more capacious drive "in the database". On the side of the Redmi Note 10 larger display, the chip is more powerful, stereo speakers, wireless charging, latter battery and Google services.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is a pleasant smartphone that continues to use the trend of the distribution of high-quality amoled displays in relatively inexpensive devices. There are practically no weak places. Is that someone will miss NFC.
