Today, Huawei’s brand launched the biggest phablet of 2020: the Honor X10 Max comes with a huge 7.09-inch display and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Besides being a huge phablet, it is also a pretty nice mid-ranger supporting dual-mode 5G connectivity and carrying an affordable price. Is it enough to kill the concurrence or there is something better in the actual market? We will try to let you find out by comparing it with two affordable mid-rangers sporting similar specifications with a similar price tag. We are talking about the Redmi 10X Pro and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro which are the latest affordable offerings from Xiaomi and Huawei.

Design

Due to its huge dimensions, we would not recommend the Honor 10X Max to those who search for a compact and elegant device. At least according to my opinion, the most attractive one if we talk about aesthetics is the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro. It is compact and it has a less invasive camera module, as well as an elegant rear side. Despite it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of an in-display sensor like the Redmi 10X Pro, the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro is even thinner and lighter. These are the reasons why it wins the design comparison.

 

Display

The most beautiful display belongs to the Redmi 10X Pro as it is the only one to offer an AMOLED panel with deeper blacks and more brilliant colors. It even comes with the HDR10+ certification. On the other hand, Honor 10X Pro sports one of the widest panels in the whole market with a 7.09-inch diagonal. Further, its display remains a great panel: it is an IPS display, but it is HDR10 certified and it delivers great overall quality. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro is probably inferior in terms of image quality, but it offers a higher 90 Hz refresh rate for a smoother experience.

 

Specs & Software

Honor 10X Max and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 800 mobile platform by MediaTek. The Redmi 10X Pro is much better due to the presence of a more powerful Dimensity 820. The difference is not huge, but it is noticeable. The Dimensity 820 chipset is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, while with the Honor 10X Max and the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro you get max 128 GB of internal storage. In each case, you can expand the internal storage and you get Android 10 out of the box.

 

Camera

Honor 10X Max, Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, and Redmi 10X Pro come with similar camera setups, but the Redmi 10X Pro wins the camera comparison. The main sensor is the same on each device, but Redmi 10X Pro sports an additional telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, as well as a better macro sensor. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro takes the silver medal with a 48 MP triple camera including an ultrawide sensor and a better front camera than Honor X10 Max. Note that none of these devices is a high-end camera phone, but Redmi 10X Pro goes beyond a simple mid-range camera.

 

Battery

With its huge 5000 mAh battery, Honor X10 Max will most likely last more than both Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro and Redmi 10X Pro with most of the usage patterns. But the Redmi 10X Pro should not be so far with its 4520 mAh battery and its efficient AMOLED display. Further, the Redmi 10X Pro charges a lot faster thanks to its 33W fast charging technology which can bring the battery from 0 to 58 percent in just 30 minutes.

 

Price

The starting price of the Redmi 10X Pro is €290/$325, while the Honor X10 Max starts from €240/$270, and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro costs €250/$280 in its base variant. Judging from the overall specifications, Redmi 10X Pro looks more interesting thanks to its AMOLED display, stronger chipset, and better cameras, but Honor 10X Max is a unique device thanks to its huge display which can be very suitable for productivity and power users.
