The Redmi 10 came back in 2022 in a new version for the Indian market. The Indian version of the Redmi 10 is very different from the model launched last year and it brings a new processor to the market, as well as a bigger battery. Besides this device, the Chinese giant also came up with two other variants from the same series: the Redmi 10A and the Redmi 10C. For a lot of users, it is hard to understand which of these devices is the best and which one provides the highest value for money. We decided to publish this comparison between the specifications of the Redmi 10, the Redmi 10A, and the Redmi 10C in order to highlight the differences between these three handsets and help you to find out which one is the best choice.

Design

It is impossible to distinguish the design of the Redmi 10 and the one of the Redmi 10C: they look like the same handset because they come with the same camera module and the same display with a waterdrop notch. The Redmi 10C wins the design comparison because it is thinner and lighter than the vanilla version and even than the Redmi 10A. Given that it comes with just one single sensor on the rear side, the 10A has a smaller camera module, which is why you can distinguish it from the other two. Further, it is a more compact phone because it packs a smaller display. All of these phones are entirely made of polycarbonate with the exception of the front glass, but the Redmi 10 is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, the strongest protection by Corning in this trio.

 

Display

The display quality of these three handsets is exactly the same because they have the same display specifications. We are talking about three IPS LCD panels with HD+ resolutions of 720p. However, you should note that the Redmi 10 and the 10C come with a wider panel, thanks to a 6.7-inch diagonal. All have a waterdrop notch and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Their refresh rate is standard and there is no additional technology to improve the image quality, so do not expect a great color reproduction. Even the level of detail provided by these displays is not impressive. They are sufficient panels, but nothing more.

 

Hardware/Software

The Redmi 10 and the 10C come with stronger hardware: they are powered by the Snapdragon 680 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. The Redmi 10A has an inferior MediaTek Helio G25 chipset and just 4 GB of RAM. The Redmi 10 and the Redmi 10C run a more recent version of Xiaomi’s customization: the MIUI 13, even though it is still based on Android 11. With the Redmi 10A, you get the older MIUI 12.5.

 

Camera

The Redmi 10 and the 10C also pack better cameras: on the rear side, they sport a 50 MP main sensor and an additional 2 MP depth sensor, while the Redmi 10A sports a single and disappointing 13 MP camera like the one you could find on the Redmi 4A several years ago.

 

Battery

The Redmi 10 wins the battery comparison because it packs a bigger 6000 mAh battery with stunning battery life. The Redmi 10C and the 10A still come with big batteries, but they stop at 5000 mAh.

 

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10C: Price

The starting price of the Redmi 10 (Rs. 10,999) roughly translates into €130 at the actual change, the Redmi 10A starts from €90/$98, and the 10C sits in the middle in its base variant. The Redmi 10 wins the comparison thanks to a bigger battery.
