Xiaomi surprised everyone by launching the POCO M4 Pro 5G in Europe with a stunning price tag. Initially, the new budget phone was available for just €199 and its specifications made it a real best-buy for that price range. But when you are looking for a new phone, it is always recommended to look at older phones with the same street prices since you can find a lot of other discounts. That is the reason why we decided to write a comparison between POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 10S, and Redmi Note 10 5G: you could find all of them for less than €200, but a lot of people are wondering which one is the best. We hope this comparison will clear your ideas in regards.

Design

The Redmi Note 10S is the most interesting when it comes to aesthetics thanks to a thinner body, a lower weight, and an overall more compact design. The POCO M4 Pro 5G is bigger and chunkier, but it has a higher screen to body ratio. The Redmi Note 10 5G sits in the middle in terms of dimensions and it is similar to the Redmi Note 10S in terms of design. Note that POCO M4 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 10S feature the IP53 certification.

 

Display

The most advanced display is definitely the one offered by Redmi Note 10S since it has the AMOLED technology showing more vibrant colors. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and, just like its internal rivals, it comes with a Full HD+ resolution. POCO M4 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G are equipped with IPS display providing a 90 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels: the former has the widest panel with a diagonal of 6.6 inches.

 

Hardware/Software

The best hardware setup belongs to the POCO M4 Pro 5G: it is powered by the new Mediatek Dimensity 810 mobile platform built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Redmi Note 10 5G has a weaker Dimensity 700 chipset, but it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, so do not underestimate it. The inferior one is the Redmi Note 10S because it has an Helio G96 chipset with lower performance and no 5G support. The phones run Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI 12.

 

Camera

If you are looking for the best cameras, then choose the Redmi Note 10S without thinking twice. The main sensor is actually better with its 64 MP resolution and it is paired with an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth. Right after, there is POCO M4 Pro 5G with a 50 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultrawide lens.

 

Battery

The battery capacity of these devices does not change: 5000 mAh for all of them, but the Redmi Note 10S is likely to last more in several scenarios due to its AMOLED display providing a lower energy consumption.

 

Xiaomi POCO M4 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G: Price

You can find all of these phones for less than €200/$225 thanks to online street prices, but only if you are a bit lucky, otherwise you have to spend from €220 to €240. The most advanced handset of the trio is the POCO M4 Pro due to its better processor, but if you do not mind about 5G, the Redmi Note 10S is more interesting thanks to its great 64 MP camera and its AMOLED display. The Redmi Note 10 5G does not make much sense with the POCO M4 Pro 5G around unless you find it for €150/$170 or so.
