If you are looking for a new low-end phone available for a very affordable price, the Redmi lineup has a lot to offer in 2022. We are talking specifically about the Redmi 10 series, which now includes several new devices. Recently, the Xiaomi sub-brand launched the 2022 version of the vanilla Redmi 10, the new Redmi 10A, and even the Redmi 10 Power with higher-end specifications. If you are not an expert on phones, it will be hard for you to pick a device among the ones in this trio. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the Redmi 10, the Redmi 10A, and the Redmi 10 Power.

Design

If you want the most impressive device in terms of design, then opt for the Redmi 10 Power. Unlike its siblings, it comes with a very attractive leather back and, alongside the OPPO F21 Pro, it is the only affordable phone in 2022 with a leather back. For the rest, the design is the same as the Redmi 10A and the vanilla Redmi 10, but it is a bit thicker because of the presence of a big battery and due to its leather back. The fingerprint reader of the phone is side-mounted and the front panel includes a waterdrop notch.

Display

The displays of the Redmi 10 Power and the Redmi 10 are exactly the same in terms of quality and specifications. They are below-average IPS LCD panels with HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 pixels) and a diagonal of 6.7 inches: do not expect anything special from these displays, but they are sufficient panels. The Redmi 10A comes with an IPS LCD panel with an HD+ resolution as well, but it is a smaller panel with a diagonal of 6.53 inches. This makes the phone more compact than its siblings. All of these phones have a waterdrop notch, mono speakers, and a pretty thick bezel on the lower side.

Hardware/Software

The Redmi 10A is the most disappointing device of the trio because it is fueled by an inferior MediaTek Helio G25 chipset built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage that you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. The Redmi 10 Power and the vanilla version are both powered by the Snapdragon 680 4G mobile platform built at 6 nm with a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, but the Power variant wins the hardware comparison. Why? Simple, because of the memory configuration: it comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, while the vanilla version stops at 6 GB of RAM.

 

Camera

Again, the Redmi 10A is the less impressive one because it packs just one single rear shooter with a 13 MP resolution. The Redmi 10 and the Power variant come with a dual camera including a better 50 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. The front cameras are all the same, with 5 MP resolutions.

 

Battery

If you are looking for longer battery life, then you should buy either the Redmi 10 Power or the vanilla Redmi 10. They have the same 6000 mAh battery capacity and a more efficient processor built at 6 nm. The Redmi 10A has a smaller 5000 mAh battery, but it is still a great battery phone.

 

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10 Power: Price

You need about €100/$105 to purchase the Redmi 10A, the Redmi 10 Power costs about €180/$190, and the vanilla version starts from €149/$157. The Redmi 10A can not compete with its siblings, while the Redmi 10 Power is a vanilla version with more RAM and a leather body. Which one would you pick?
