Unlike the European market, Xiaomi has a huge rival in India: Transsion. It is the company that owns Micromax, Infinix, and Tecno and it also operates in the African markets. In a few days, Xiaomi’s sub-brand will launch the Redmi 10 Prime in India and, despite it is likely to become one of the best sellers in the next future, the competition will be hard to beat. This is a comparison between the Redmi 10 Prime and two devices from Transsion’s brands in the same price range: Infinix Note 10 and Micromax In note 1.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime vs Infinix Note 10 vs Micromax In note 1

Design

The design of the Redmi 10 Prime reminds me of a flagship from the last generation: the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra. Someone might find the camera module big and invasive, but I prefer this device in terms of design because it is more compact and it has a cleaner look if we exclude the camera module. Further, it is dustproof and splashproof. Just like the Infinix Note 10, it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader, while the Micromax In note 1 has a rear-mounted scanner. The Infinix Note 10 is one of the biggest phones out there, so it is not for everyone. If we exclude the rear-mounted fingerprint reader, the Micromax In note 1 is attractive with its reflective back and oleophobic coating for the display.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the Redmi 10 Prime. It is the only one to offer a 90 Hz refresh rate, while Micromax In note 10 and Infinix Note 10 come with standard 60 Hz displays. However, the Infinix Note 10 has another important advantage: with a diagonal of 6.95 inches, its display is very wide and good for productivity and power users. Just like the Redmi 10 Prime, Infinix Note 10 has stereo speakers, while you get a mono speaker with the Micromax In note 1.

Hardware/Software

The Redmi 10 Prime is fueled by a better processor compared to its two opponents: not a big improvement, but still a better chipset. We are talking about the Helio G88 mobile platform, which is an upgrade of the Helio G85 found on the Infinix Note 10 and the Micromax In note 1. The chip is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. You can get the same memory configuration with the Infinix Note 10, but not with the Micromax In note 1 which stops at 4 GB of RAM. The Redmi and the Infinix run Android 11 out of the box, while Micromax In note 1 is still based on Android 10.

Camera

The Redmi 10 Prime is the most advanced camera phone: first of all, it has a better main camera with a 50 MP resolution. Further, it comes with a better ultrawide camera with an 8 MP resolution. To be accurate, the Infinix Note 10 does not even have an ultrawide camera, but it comes with a Quad LED flash making photos in the dark brighter. The Micromax In note 1 should be better for taking selfies with its 16 MP f/2.0 front camera.

Battery

The battery life king is the Redmi 10 Prime thanks to its bigger 6000 mAh battery. Besides fast charging, it even supports reverse charging.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime vs Infinix Note 10 vs Micromax In note 1: Price

Redmi 10 Prime will hit India with Rs. 12,499 / $170 starting price, Infinix Note 10 costs Rs. 10,999 / $150, and Micromax In note 1 costs Rs. 11,499 / $156. Redmi 10 Prime is the best of the trio, but you can get a higher value for money with Infinix Note 10.
