Redmi Note 10 Series launched in India with AMOLED screens, starting at Rs. 11,999

Five years after launching the Redmi Note 3 in India with its revolutionary specs at an unbeatable price of that time, Xiaomi is looking to turn the tables in the affordable mid-range smartphone segment yet again. Xiaomi has finally launched its most anticipated Redmi Note 10 series in India on Thursday.

Display and Battery

All phones in this series now come equipped with an AMOLED screen, including the Redmi Note 10. It is very rare to see budget phones come with an AMOLED screen. The base Redmi Note 10 carries a 6.43″ FHD+ Super AMOLED Screen with a 60Hz Refresh Rate and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It also packs 100 percent DCI-P3 wide colour gamut with a peak brightness of 1100 nits.

Both Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max also come with a Super AMOLED Screen, but at a 120Hz Refresh rate and 6.67″ FHD+ screen size and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. These also carry 100 percent DCI-P3 wide colour gamut along with HDR-10 support, and TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification with a peak brightness of 1200 nits.

All three phones have a 20:9 aspect ratio for their displays. The base variant comes with a 5000 mAh battery while the Pro variants come with a 5020 mAh battery. They also come with 33W wired fast charging along with a corresponding 33W fast charging brick bundled as well. It is very rare to see smartphone manufacturers provide fast charging bricks with the phone, so kudos to Xiaomi for taking such a bold step.

Camera

All phones come with a quad-camera setup with a common 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensor. The base Redmi Note 10 comes with a 48MP main camera with a Sony IMX582 sensor and a 2MP macro shooter.

Both the Pro variants come with a 5MP macro shooter. The Pro variant comes with a 64MP main camera with a Samsung ISOCELL GW3 sensor whereas the Pro Max variant comes with a 108MP main camera carrying a 108MP Samsung HM2 sensor. The Pro Max variant comes equipped with lots of camera features including Night Mode 2.0, VLOG Mode, Long Exposure Mode, Magic Clone Mode, Video Pro Mode, and Dual Video. We are not aware whether the other 2 variants carry these modes or not.

The base Note 10 variant comes with a 13MP selfie camera while the Pro variants carry a 16MP selfie camera.
