The Redmi 10 already existed, but the Xiaomi sub-brand decided to launch a new version for the Indian market. It is definitely a great budget phone with those new specifications, but it has a lot of competitors. One of these is surely the Motorola Moto G22: one of the best camera phones in the entry-level segment. Given that you can currently find these two devices in the same price range, it is very hard for a lot of people to choose the best for their actual needs. This comparison between the specifications of the Redmi 10 and the Motorola Moto G22 will help you to understand which one is the best for you and which one has the highest value for money.

Design

The design of the Motorola Moto G22 is a bit more elegant thanks to its reflective back and its camera module with the same color as the rest of the body. You should also consider the presence of a punch-hole display instead of that waterdrop notch found on the Redmi 10. Further, the Motorola Moto G22 is a thinner and lighter phone than its Xiaomi rival, and it has a water repellent body. Last but not least, it is more compact because it sports a smaller display. Are these reasons enough to let the Moto G22 win the design comparison or do you need more?

 

Display

The Redmi 10 and the Motorola Moto G22 are not so impressive if we talk about the displays. The Redmi 10 comes with a wider 6.7-inch panel, better for productivity, and it is more resistant thanks to the Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The Motorola Moto G22 has a smaller display but it adds the 90 Hz refresh rate instead of the standard 60 Hz, so you can get a smoother viewing experience, and that is great for gaming. For the rest, they are pretty much the same: two below-average (but sufficient) IPS LCD panels with HD+ resolutions. The fingerprint reader of the Xiaomi budget phone is rear-mounted, while the Motorola handset has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

 

Hardware/Software

If you are looking for better CPU and GPU performance, as well as lower energy consumption, then you should opt for the Redmi 10. It is powered by the Snapdragon 680 4G mobile platform built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. A definitely better chipset than the MediaTek Helio G37 found on the Motorola Moto G22, built at 12 nm and with a max frequency of 2.3 GHz. The Redmi 10 also offers more RAM (up to 6 GB) and more native storage (up to 128 GB, expandable with a micro SD slot). On the other hand, the Motorola Moto G22 comes with Android 12 out of the box instead of the older Android 11.

 

Camera

The Motorola Moto G22 is a superior camera phone. The main cameras of these two devices are the same, with a 50 MP resolution, but the Moto G22 adds an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera, while the only secondary sensor of the Redmi 10 is a 2 MP depth sensor. Further, the Motorola budget phone has a better 16 MP selfie camera, while the Xiaomi low cost is pretty disappointing with its 5 MP snapper.

 

Battery

The Redmi 10 wins the battery life comparison thanks to the presence of a huge 6000 mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging. But with its 5000 mAh, the Motorola Moto G22 is still a good battery phone.

 

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Motorola Moto G22: Price

The Motorola Moto G22 is available in India with a listing price of Rs. 10,999 / $144, while the Redmi 10 starts from Rs. 11,999 / $157. The prices are referred to the memory configurations with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage (and it is the only configuration available for the G22). While the Redmi 10 offers a better processor and battery, the Motorola device comes with better cameras and display: which one would you pick? It mostly depends on your needs, but generally, better cameras give mobile phones a higher value.
