AnTuTu is one of the popular benchmarking platforms for Android devices. The company behind this software is known for publishing lists of best-performing Android flagships and mid-range smartphones every month. As we have entered June, the firm has released its lists for the month of May 2021.

The latest list of best-performing Android flagship smartphones is filled with devices powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 like the previous list (April 2021). The new list no longer includes the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 (aka Lenovo Legion 2 Pro) and the Xiaomi Mi 11.

The above-mentioned phones are replaced by ASUS ROG Phone 5 and realme GT. The Black Shark 4 Pro continues to top the chart, however, the order of other handsets has been jumbled. In a nutshell, there’s no key takeaway.

On the other hand, the best-performing Android mid-range smartphone list has a new winner after 11 months. The Redmi 10X 5G series equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC finally loses its crown to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G.

For those unaware, the Redmi 10X 5G and the Redmi 10X Pro 5G have been leading the AnTuTu best-performing Android mid-range smartphones since their debut last June. 

We can say that the performance of MediaTek Dimensity 820 was ahead of its time for a mid-range silicon. Unfortunately, this chip is only found in vivo S7t 5G, which is yet another China-exclusive smartphone like the Redmi 10X 5G series.

Lastly, unlike the flagship list, the mid-range list includes handsets featuring different chipsets like Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G, HiSilicon Kirin 985, HiSilicon Kirin 820, Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, and MediaTek Dimensity 800U.

The post AnTuTu May 2021: Redmi 10X 5G series loses its crown to Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G after 11 months appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Xiaomi released the Android 11 update for the Redmi 10X 5G and the Redmi 10X Pro 5G almost two weeks apart. Now, another couple of weeks later, these two smartphones have started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update together.

The Redmi 10X 5G series is a China-exclusive smartphone lineup released last year. These two phones are the world’s first and Xiaomi’s only handsets powered by MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC.

They debuted with Android 11-baed MIUI 11. However, they were soon updated to MIUI 12. But it took the company months to update these devices to Android 11. After the release of last year’s Android update, the phones have now begun to receive the MIUI 12.5 update as well.

MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. This version brings improvements and fixes for Xiaomi Group handsets running MIUI 12.

The MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi 10X 5G and the Redmi 10X Pro 5G arrives with build numbers V12.5.2.0.RJHCNXM and V12.5.2.0.RJLCNXM respectively. These software builds are currently in the ‘Stable Beta’. This means they are being rolled out in batches and are only available for a select few users.

Anyway, all the units of these two devices should receive the MIUI 12.5 update in the coming days.

The post MIUI 12.5 update released for Redmi 10X 5G and Redmi 10X Pro 5G appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi launched the Redmi 10X series in China in late May. The lineup includes three devices, namely Redmi 10X 5G, Redmi 10X Pro 5G, and Redmi 10X 4G. All three debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. However, they were soon updated to MIUI 12. But the Android 11 update has only started rolling out now, starting with the Redmi 10X 5G

The Redmi 10X 5G models are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC and are exclusive to China. There’s only one other phone with this chipset, and that’s none other than the recently launched vivo S7t 5G. This device is also only sold in China.

Thanks to this silicon, the Redmi 10X 5G series has been leading the AnTuTu Benchmark mid-range performance list since its debut. But unfortunately, these smartphones still don’t run the latest version of Android even after nearly a year (11 months) from their launch.

Thankfully, Xiaomi has finally started seeding out the Android 11 update for the Redmi 10X 5G. The new system update for this handset comes with build number V12.0.1.0.RJHCNXM. This software build features April 2021 security patches as well.

Currently, it is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase, and therefore, it is only available for a select few users. But it should reach all users in the coming days.

Similarly, we can expect Xiaomi to release the Android 11 update for the Redmi 10X Pro 5G as well as the Redmi 10X 4G. Also, these phones are eligible for the MIUI 12.5 update.

Redmi India has started a new poll that asks its fans to choose from any one of the two options that they would like to see on the Redmi Note 10 series smartphone. The options include a 120Hz refresh rating supporting an LCD screen and an AMOLED display. This poll could be a hint that the Redmi Note 10 series may include a handset with an AMOLED display.

As it can be seen in the screenshot of the poll, around 88 percent of people are interested to see a Redmi Note 10 series phone with an AMOLED display. A recent leak revealed that the Redmi Note 10 series for India will include as many as four phones such as Redmi Note 10 4G, Note 10 5G, Note 10 Pro 4G, and Note 10 Pro 5G. At least one of these phones could be equipped with an AMOLED screen.

Some rumors that are now doing rounds on social media platforms claim that last year’s RedmI 10X 5G could be rebranded as Redmi Note 10 series phone in the country. The Dimensity 820 powered Redmi 10X 5G that went official in May 2021 is only available for purchase in China.

The Redmi 10X 5G has a 6.57-inch AMOLED FHD+ display. The phone shipped with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. It has a selfie camera of 16-megapixel and its rear camera setup includes a 48-megapixel main shooter, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The 4,520mAh battery of the device supports 22.5W fast charging.

Readers are advised to digest the leak with a grain of salt and wait for further reports to know more about the Note 10 series for India. It is speculated to debut on March 10.

Xiaomi released several 5G devices this year, even in the affordable segment. If you want an affordable 5G phone you have a lot of choices and the latest one is the Redmi Note 9 5G. But is it also the best besides being the last? In order to establish this, we decided to compare the Redmi Note 9 5G with other Xiaomi affordable phones supporting 5G connectivity, in order to decrease the confusion around them. We chose the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and the Redmi 10X 5G because they belong to the same price segment. Note that the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is the only one available in the European market, while the Redmi devices are still Asia-exclusive.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X 5G

Design

The ugly shape of the camera module and the waterdrop notch do not make the Redmi 10X 5G the most modern and beautiful device of the trio. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is definitely better with its glass back, punch-hole display, and overall better look with more attractive color variants. The Redmi Note 9 5G comes right after, but it has a plastic back instead of a glass cover. On the other hand, Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi 10X 5G have water-repellent coatings, while the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite does not. You should also consider that Redmi 10X 5G has an in-display fingerprint reader, while on the Mi 10T Lite it is side-mounted.

Display

The most impressive display belongs to the Redmi 10X 5G: it is the only one to feature an AMOLED panel showing better colors and deeper blacks. It even supports the HDR10+ certification allowing for better image quality. The second place goes to the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite which sports an IPS display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Redmi Note 9 5G has an IPS display with a standard 60 Hz refresh rate, really nothing special. Unfortunately, Redmi 10X 5G lacks stereo speakers, or it would have been a perfect multimedia phone.

Hardware/Software

The MediaTek Dimensity 820 chipset found on the Redmi 10X 5G is a more powerful processor than the Dimensity 800U and the Snapdragon 750G found on the Redmi Note 9 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite. And this is not the only element that makes the Redmi 10X 5G the winner of the hardware comparison. Redmi 10X 5G also offers a higher amount of RAM: up to 8 GB instead of 6 GB like its two rivals. The software you get with these phones is the same, if we exclude the fact that Redmi 10X 5G ships with MIUI 11 out of the box, while the other twos run MIUI 12.

Camera

The most advanced camera is on board the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite: we are talking about the 64 MP main sensor paired with an 8 MP ultrawide lens and two 2 MP sensors for macro and depth. With the Redmi Note 9 5G and the Redmi 10X 5G you get the same rear cameras, but the front camera is better on the Redmi 10X 5G.

Battery

The Redmi Note 9 5G packs a bigger battery and its battery life is longer. But the Redmi 10X 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite are still great battery phones with their above-average batteries. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite wins the fast charging comparison with its 33W power.

Price

Redmi 10X 5G is priced at about €205/$248 in China, Redmi Note 9 5G goes for €170/$205, and Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite costs €249/$300 globally. Technically, the most convincing phone of this trio is the Redmi 10X 5G due to its stronger chipset and AMOLED display. But some may prefer the Mi 10T Lite due to its Snapdragon chipset, faster charging, and better camera. Redmi Note 9 5G can let you save a lot of money, but it is inferior.
