Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G - a new bestseller or a repetition of the past?

Smartphones of the middle price segment are gaining more and more popularity, as they tend to gradually become cheaper. The reason for this is technological progress, thanks to which even inexpensive devices have acquired both performance and functionality. The hero of today's review turned out to be balanced, affordable and at the same time beautiful, but doesn't he resemble one of his predecessors at a similar price?

The design of the device can really be attributed to its strengths. It is the stylish dual camera unit, ergonomic side fingerprint scanner, and pleasant-to-touch texture of the back panel that evoke positive emotions. The corrugated cover also adequately resists scratches, fingerprints. But the screen frames could be smaller, and the design of the front module is outdated. The 5-megapixel selfie camera itself is mediocre, even for video calling it can only be used during the day. The 6.58-inch IPS display, on the other hand, is almost devoid of flaws within the cost category. The developer did not save on the resolution of the IPS panel ( 2408x1080 pixels) and, as a result, on the clarity of the image, there is also a 90-Hz image refresh rate. The brightness is enough to interact with an Android smartphone indoors, only the direct rays of the summer sun will interfere with visibility.

The Mediatek Dimensity 700 chipset is a universal solution that, at its affordable cost, provides both lag-free operation of most applications and tangible assistance in increasing autonomy. A CPU with 4GB of RAM and a Mali G57MC2 GPU can even run Genshin Impact on the lowest graphics settings, and the 5000mAh battery often shows more than a dozen hours of active screen time. The energy-efficient processor heats up little and avoids throttling. In terms of ROM volume, there are two versions: with 64GB and with 128GB , in both cases, the internal storage is expanded with microSD cards .

50 and 2-megapixel photomodules led by Samsung JN1 organize fruitful photo and video shooting in good light. Under such conditions, frames are not easy to distinguish from those of more expensive Android phones. Night shooting mode is present, but simple optics and the lack of optical stabilization (OIS), if they do not reduce to zero, then significantly reduce the likelihood of obtaining high-quality photographs in the evening. Of the pluses, we will highlight the infrared port , NFC support (the availability of contactless payments in one or another version of the device depends on the region), stereo sound , of the minuses - advertising inherent in the MIUI proprietary shell. As a result, the gadget may well claim impressive sales, however, the neighbors in the Poco line are not far behind in many indicators.
