Last week, Xiaomi started rolling out the Android 11 update for the Redmi 10X 5G. Now, this update is live for the Redmi 10X Pro 5G as well. Additionally, the company has also begun to seed the Android 11 update for the Redmi Note 9S.

The Redmi 10X Pro 5G is a China-exclusive smartphone that was released in the first half of 2020. It debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. The device was later updated to MIUI 12 and has now finally started receiving Android 11.

The Android 11 update for the Redmi 10X Pro 5G arrives with build number V12.0.2.0.RJLCNXM. The build is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. This means it is only available for a select few users as part of a limited rollout.

Anyway, the update should reach every unit in the coming days. Since this phone is only sold in China, there are no other software builds for this update.

On the other hand, the Android 11 update for the ‘Global’ variant of the Redmi Note 9S comes with build number V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM. This build is also in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase and hence, it is only available for some users.

Unlike the former smartphone, the Redmi Note 9S is sold in multiple markets. Therefore, there are multiple MIUI builds for this handset, namely EEA, Russia, Turkey. These variants should also receive Android in near future.

Lastly, the Redmi Note 9S is also known as Redmi Note 9 Pro. But that device got the Android 11 update in late 2020 itself.

Ever since Xiaomi announced MIUI 12 in late April, it has been seeding out weekly beta updates to almost all the eligible devices in the company’s home country. Additionally, the firm has been also releasing stable beta as well as stable builds to a number of handsets worldwide. Currently, the smartphone maker has begun to roll out MIUI 12 stable update to Mi 9 SE, Mi CC9 Pro, Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro in China.

The Mi 9 SE is the oldest phone out of these four devices to receive MIUI 12 stable update. However, the builds are based on Android 10 for all the handsets. It is worth noting that the two Redmi phones launched with latest Android out of the box, whereas the world’s first smartphone with 108MP camera got this update in May.

As for MIUI 12 update, as all of them have AMOLED display, they also get support for new AOD+ along with Super Wallpapers. Further, the stable update for both the Mi devices come with build number 12.0.1.0, whereas the build number for Redmi devices is 12.0.2.0.

Having said that, it is not sure when the same update will be available for the global version of Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro (Mi Note 10) and Mi 9 SE.

Redmi launched the Redmi 10X Pro 5G in late May alongside regular Redmi 10X 5G and Redmi 10X 4G (aka Redmi Note 9) in China. A few days back, the handset’s Liquid Silver color variant went on sale for the first time. At around the same time, the brand’s general manager Lu Weibing revealed that this variant of the phone is difficult to produce.

The recently launched Redmi 10X Pro 5G in Liquid Silver color version is one of a kind. As you can see from the gallery attached above (courtesy of Digital Chat Station on Weibo), this device looks unique than any other phone available in the market at its price.

The Redmi smartphone not only looks silvery but also mimics a mirror. It is reminiscent of Xiaomi  Mi 6 Mercury Silver Edition and Sony Xperia XZ Premium Luminous Chrome color variant, the device which won the Best New Smartphone of MWC 2017 award.

In fact, there have been few phones in this color in the market according to Redmi GM Lu Weibing. He says that manufacturing phones in this particular silver color is a complicated process. The yield is less, which in turn results in high-cost for production.

This clearly means that Redmi 10X Pro 5G Liquid Silver variant will be only available in a limited quantity like the Mi 6 even though the brand executive did not mention it in his Weibo post. 

Anyway, it is worth noting that this version of the handset costs only 2,599 yuan ($371) for 8GB + 1256GB storage configuration. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium debuted for $799, which is more than double the price of the Redmi phone. 

Even Xiaomi’s Mi 6 Mercury Silver was costlier at 3,999 yuan for 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. What’s interesting is that this handset was recently up for sale in China for 19,999 yuan ($2,854) after three years from its release.

A couple of months ago, in May, Xiaomi-backed Redmi had launched the Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro smartphone in its home country China. Last month, the Pro variant was made available for purchase in China in three color options — Violet, Blue, and Gold.

Today, the company has officially launched a new color variant for the Redmi 10X Pro smartphone — Liquid Silver. This new model is now available for purchase in China in 8GB RAM and a 256GB storage variant for 2,599 yuan (~$372).

The smartphone is also available in other color options. The 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model is priced at 2,399 yuan (~$343) while the 8GB RAM + 256GB model is available for a price of 2,599 yuan (~$372).

The smartphone features a 6.57-inch Samsung AMOLED display offering Full HD+ screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, HDR10, DC Dimming, and 800 nit peak brightness. It also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 820 5G chipset. It has support for 5G + 5G dual standby support, allowing simultaneous usage of 5G on both the SIM slot at the same time.

As for the camera setup, the smartphone features a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP zoom lens with 30X digital zoom support, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 5MP macro lens. On the front side, the device comes equipped with a 20MP snapper.

The phone is running the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s MIUI 12 custom user interface on top. The Redmi 10X Pro is powered by a 4,520mAh battery and comes with support for 33W fast charging.

Today, Huawei’s brand launched the biggest phablet of 2020: the Honor X10 Max comes with a huge 7.09-inch display and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Besides being a huge phablet, it is also a pretty nice mid-ranger supporting dual-mode 5G connectivity and carrying an affordable price. Is it enough to kill the concurrence or there is something better in the actual market? We will try to let you find out by comparing it with two affordable mid-rangers sporting similar specifications with a similar price tag. We are talking about the Redmi 10X Pro and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro which are the latest affordable offerings from Xiaomi and Huawei.

Huawei Honor X10 Max vs Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X Pro

Design

Due to its huge dimensions, we would not recommend the Honor 10X Max to those who search for a compact and elegant device. At least according to my opinion, the most attractive one if we talk about aesthetics is the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro. It is compact and it has a less invasive camera module, as well as an elegant rear side. Despite it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of an in-display sensor like the Redmi 10X Pro, the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro is even thinner and lighter. These are the reasons why it wins the design comparison.

Display

The most beautiful display belongs to the Redmi 10X Pro as it is the only one to offer an AMOLED panel with deeper blacks and more brilliant colors. It even comes with the HDR10+ certification. On the other hand, Honor 10X Pro sports one of the widest panels in the whole market with a 7.09-inch diagonal. Further, its display remains a great panel: it is an IPS display, but it is HDR10 certified and it delivers great overall quality. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro is probably inferior in terms of image quality, but it offers a higher 90 Hz refresh rate for a smoother experience.

Specs & Software

Honor 10X Max and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 800 mobile platform by MediaTek. The Redmi 10X Pro is much better due to the presence of a more powerful Dimensity 820. The difference is not huge, but it is noticeable. The Dimensity 820 chipset is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, while with the Honor 10X Max and the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro you get max 128 GB of internal storage. In each case, you can expand the internal storage and you get Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

Honor 10X Max, Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, and Redmi 10X Pro come with similar camera setups, but the Redmi 10X Pro wins the camera comparison. The main sensor is the same on each device, but Redmi 10X Pro sports an additional telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, as well as a better macro sensor. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro takes the silver medal with a 48 MP triple camera including an ultrawide sensor and a better front camera than Honor X10 Max. Note that none of these devices is a high-end camera phone, but Redmi 10X Pro goes beyond a simple mid-range camera.

Battery

With its huge 5000 mAh battery, Honor X10 Max will most likely last more than both Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro and Redmi 10X Pro with most of the usage patterns. But the Redmi 10X Pro should not be so far with its 4520 mAh battery and its efficient AMOLED display. Further, the Redmi 10X Pro charges a lot faster thanks to its 33W fast charging technology which can bring the battery from 0 to 58 percent in just 30 minutes.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi 10X Pro is €290/$325, while the Honor X10 Max starts from €240/$270, and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro costs €250/$280 in its base variant. Judging from the overall specifications, Redmi 10X Pro looks more interesting thanks to its AMOLED display, stronger chipset, and better cameras, but Honor 10X Max is a unique device thanks to its huge display which can be very suitable for productivity and power users.

Huawei launched another 5G midrange phone in China: the Enjoy 20 Pro. A handset offering a dual-mode 5G modem at a very affordable price. But it is not the only affordable 5G phone out there. There are plenty of other interesting handsets offering complete support to fifth-generation networks. Among the latest ones sold at great prices, we got the Redmi 10X Pro and the Honor X10. Here is a comparison in which we highlighted the main differences between the specifications of Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, Redmi 10X Pro, and Honor X10 in order to let you know which one is the most suitable for your actual needs.

Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X Pro vs Huawei Honor X10

Design

The design of the Honor X10 5G is very attractive because it offers a full-screen display thanks to the presence of a motorized pop-up camera. Both Redmi 10X Pro and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with an annoying waterdrop notch on the front panel. But the Redmi 10X Pro has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so its build quality is actually better. Would you prefer getting a full-screen display like the panel of the Honor X10 or more premium materials like the ones of the Redmi 10X Pro?

Display

If you prefer having a better image quality, you should go for the Redmi 10X Pro since it is the only device of this trio sporting an AMOLED display, as well as the HDR10+ certification. Instead, if you are a gamer or you want a smoother viewing experience, choose the Honor X10 5G since it comes with a high 90 Hz refresh rate. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a 90 Hz refresh rate as well, but the quality of the IPS panel found on the Honor X10 5G is actually superior.

Specs & Software

The Dimensity 820 chipset found on the Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the most powerful SoC in this comparison. It is also paired with a higher amount of internal storage: up to 256 GB, while Honor X10 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with max 128 GB. In each case, you get up to 8 GB of RAM. The second place goes to the Honor X10 since the Kirin 820 is better than the Dimensity 800 of the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro.

Camera

On the camera side, it is a hard fight between the Redmi 10X Pro 5G and Honor X10 5G. The former has better secondary sensors, including a telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom. Honor X10 5G lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an awesome 40 MP sensor providing a great photo quality. If you need the best camera phone, just do not choose the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro which is like a Redmi 10X Pro without a telephoto lens and with worse secondary sensors.

Battery

Redmi 10X Pro 5G will most likely last more on a single charge for two reasons. First, it features a bigger 4520 mAh battery. Further, it has a more efficient display due to the AMOLED technology and its lower refresh rate. Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the winner even when it comes to fast charging: it can be charged with a 33W power. On the other hand, the Honor X10 5G is the only to support reverse charging (wired).

Price

Redmi 10X Pro 5G has a €290/$324 listing price in China for its base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Honor X10 5G starts from €285/$319 in the 6/64 GB configuration, while Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a starting price of €250/$280 for the version with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of native storage. Redmi 10X Pro 5G wins the comparison due to its premium build quality, better hardware, great cameras, AMOLED display, and longer battery life.

As expected, after weeks of leaks, rumors, and teasers, Xiaomi-backed Redmi has today launched two new smartphones in the Chinese market — Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro.

The Redmi 10X series come with a 6.57-inch Samsung AMOLED display offering Full HD+ screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, HDR10, DC Dimming, and 800 nit peak brightness. It also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security.

As for the camera department, the 10X comes with a triple-camera setup that includes a 48MP primary snapper, an 8 MP wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front side, it is equipped with a 16MP snapper for taking selfies.

Ahead of the launch of Redmi 10X series smartphones in China on 26th May, Lu Weibing, General Manager of the Redmi brand the President of Xiaomi China has revealed some important details about the Redmi 10X Pro.

He has confirmed that the smartphone will come with a quad-camera setup on the back, featuring support for 30X zoom and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). With this, the phone becomes the second Redmi device to have OIS support after Redmi K30 Pro.

The camera sample shared by the company showcases starry track mode in the camera. Wang Teng, Product Designer at Xiaomi says that capturing such images usually requires DSLR camera and needs multiple manual settings adjustments, but it can be easily done with the Redmi 10X’s Romantic Star Track mode.

The smartphone is confirmed to come with an AMOLED display panel where the screen size is said to be 6.57-inch, 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution, and 20:9 aspect ratio. It will also be the first device to come powered by the newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 820 chipset.

The Redmi 10X and 10X Pro smartphones are set to get launched in China on 26th May and to know the pricing and availability details, we’ll have to wait a few more days for the official launch event to take place.

Redmi will be announcing Redmi 10X, a budget 5G smartphone powered by Dimensity 820 on May 26 in China. Ahead of it, the brand has started teasing the features of the handset on Weibo. Today’s teasers confirmed the phone to come with AMOLED display, in-screen fingerprint sensor and MIUI 12.

The presence of AMOLED display with an in-screen fingerprint sensor in Redmi 10X was almost certain since the same was already spotted on TENAA. However, the certification portal mentions the device with its model number M2004J7AC rather than its marketing name.

A teaser video posted by Redmi today (attached above) also suggests the Redmi 10X will be the first phone with MIUI 12 out of the box. The video showcases Super Wallpaper and AOD+ dynamic styles on the handset.

Further, we think the render shared by the brand is of Redmi 10X Pro with model number M2004J7BC since the regular Redmi 10X (M2004J7AC) is expected to feature triple camera setup according to TENAA unlike quad-camera found in the render.
