Why Choice Redmi Note 10 over any other Xiaomi Smartphone

In the past, the Note Series has produced some of the best smartphones, embarking technology ahead of its time. Xiaomi has raised the bar with every installment of the Note series but, not all new phones are better than their predecessor. Is that the case with the new Redmi Note 10? Let us nail down few key points that will help us establish that the new Redmi Note 10 is another example of excellence and fine craftsmanship by Xiaomi. 

Smartphones under the Xiaomi linage that lies in the same price bracket and can be compared with Redmi Note 10 are the Redmi 9T (6GB-128GB) one of the best phones of 2021 and Redmi Note 9S. Both the phones were very heavily appreciated at the time of their launch and had an outstanding run at the market.

Amoled vs Lcd

 The AMOLED Display of Redmi Note 10 is far better than the simple IPS LCD Display you get in the 9T and Note 9S. With individually lit pixels and deeper blacks, every single color appears brighter and more vibrant. The amazing contrast ratio will make your movies and pictures to pop like never before.

Snapdragon 678 vs Snapdragon 662 and 720 

The Snapdragon 678 in Redmi Note 10 is better than the Snapdragon 662 of Redmi 9T and is slightly behind Snapdragon 720 incorporated in Redmi Note 9S. The Snapdragon 678 is the latest, it has higher GPU frequency and supports higher memory bandwidth compared to, Snapdragon 720.

In my opinion, you will not feel any difference in performance while gaming on both phones. Games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and PUBG run smoothly on the Redmi Note 10. 

Battery

Though both the phones have a bigger battery than Redmi Note 10. Redmi 9T having the biggest of them all, a huge 6000mAh, and Note 9S having a 5020mAh battery. I would still prefer the Note 10 as it beats both the phones in charging. The 35W fast charging refuels to its 50% capacity in less than 25 minutes. What is better than time efficiency in the fast-pacing life we live.

Quad camera

Xiaomi being the best smartphone company is renowned to have some of the best camera mobile phones. the quad-camera setup has been around for quite a while and has is fused into many other smartphones. So, what makes the quad-camera setup on Note 10 better than others? The camera on Redmi Note 10 is combined with the latest AI technology. Xiaomi, in a short period, has created its presence in the AI market and is one of the leading brands in further developing AI. 

Conclusion

After reviewing the list of features, the Redmi Note 10 has to offer, the price tag of PKR 31,999 sounds cheap. When we compare the phone with other Xiaomi phone in 35000 range, it stands cheaper than Redmi 9T and yet provides the amazing Amoled Display. And in contrast to the Redmi Note 9S, why spend extra bucks to get the Snapdragon 720 when the difference in performance is merely noticeable.
