Design

The look of the Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is exactly the same. They come with a rectangular camera module on the back, a punch-hole display with a hole placed centrally, a flat design, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. But there are two important differences between the vanilla Redmi Note 10 and the Pro variants. The first is the material used for the rear side: while the Redmi Note 10 has a plastic back, the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Pro Max have a glass back. Further, the Redmi Note 10 is a more compact device thanks to its smaller screen. At the same time, it is thicker in order to contain a battery with a similar capacity to the Pro variants.

 

Display

The Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max are equipped with the same display: a Super AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, the HDR10 certification, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The one that differs is again the vanilla Redmi Note 10: it has an AMOLED display just like the bigger siblings, but it lacks a high refresh rate and it has a lower peak brightness. So you get an inferior experience, but still, a very nice display given that it is an AMOLED panel.

 

Hardware/Software

The three variants differ for the processor user: the Redmi Note 10 has the lowest-end chipset. We are talking about the Snapdragon 678. Still a mid-range chipset with good performance, but inferior to the Snapdragon 732G mounted on the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. The Pro variants also offer better memory configuration as they pack up to 8 GB of RAM, while you can only get the vanilla Note 10 with 4 or 6 GB of RAM. The internal storage goes up to 128 GB (UFS 2.2) and, unfortunately, all the phones lack 5G connectivity.

 

Camera

Xiaomi equipped each device from the Redmi Note 10 series with a different main camera. The Redmi Note 10 gets a 48 MP sensor, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 64 MP camera, and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is the amazing one with its 108 MP main sensor. In each case, we are talking about affordable camera phones, but the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is the closest one to the flagships with its good Samsung 108 MP camera. With the Redmi Note 10 Pro and Pro Max, you also get a better macro camera than the vanilla Note 10 (8 MP vs 5 MP), as well as a better selfie camera (16 MP vs 13 MP).

 

Battery

Redmi Note 10 packs a 5000 mAh battery, while Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Pro Max are equipped with 5020 mAh batteries. The phones should be very close in terms of battery life and they offer similar charging speeds with their 33W charging technology.

 

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max: Price

Redmi Note 10 starts from €138/$165 in India, Redmi Note 10 Pro has a €184/$220 starting price, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max begins at €218/$261. If you do not care about having a stunning rear camera, Redmi Note 10 Pro is enough for you, otherwise, go for the Pro Max. The Redmi Note 10 is for those who, besides not needing great cameras, do not even need a 120 Hz refresh rate. It has a lower-end chipset as well, but the performance difference is not huge.
