Xiaomi has launched numerous groundbreaking smartphones over the years, from flagship killers to budget champions, making a significant impact in the smartphone industry. With its sub-brands Redmi and Poco, Xiaomi has delivered some of the most popular and game-changing devices, leading it to reign as the No.1 smartphone brand in India for 20 consecutive quarters (Q3 2017 – Q2 2022). Continue reading to discover the best Xiaomi smartphones of all time that left a lasting impact.

Redmi 2 Prime

The Redmi 1S, launched at Rs 6,999 in August 2014, was immensely popular in India. Following its success, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi 2, which also received a positive response. In August 2015, the brand released the Redmi 2 Prime, an upgraded version of the Redmi 2, which became an instant hit. Its 4G connectivity proved timely, as demand for faster mobile data was rapidly increasing. Moreover, the Redmi 2 Prime was Xiaomi’s first “Make in India” smartphone, tapping into nationalistic sentiment and further boosting interest. Its affordable price of Rs 6,999 also played a key role in driving sales.

Redmi Note 3

The Redmi Note 3 became a massive success due to its unmatched value for money. Priced at Rs 9,999, it disrupted the mid-range market by offering impressive specifications at an affordable price. A key factor was its Snapdragon 650 processor, which delivered strong mid-range performance and a smooth user experience. The device featured a 5.5-inch Full HD LCD display and a premium metal body, a significant upgrade at this price point that enhanced its perceived quality. Additionally, the fingerprint sensor, still uncommon in this segment at the time, added to its appeal. With a combination of powerful performance, solid build quality, and advanced features, the Redmi Note 3 became one of Xiaomi’s most successful smartphones.

Poco F1

The Poco F1, launched in 2018, marked the birth of Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco and became an instant hit for offering a flagship Snapdragon 845 processor at an unprecedented starting price of Rs 20,999. In comparison, other Snapdragon 845-powered phones like the Asus Zenfone 5Z, OnePlus 6, LG G7+ ThinQ, and Google Pixel 3 were priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 70,000. The Poco F1 delivered high-end performance, a liquid cooling system, and a 4,000mAh battery, making it ideal for gamers and power users. While its polycarbonate build was a cost-cutting measure, the phone’s speed, battery life, and affordability made it one of the best value-for-money smartphones of its time. Its aggressive pricing disrupted the market, earning Poco a dedicated fanbase.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, launched in 2021, gained popularity for its cutting-edge hardware and premium design. It stood out with its large rectangular camera module, giving it a distinct “camera phone” look. The module housed a massive 1/1.12-inch 50MP Samsung GN2 sensor, making it one of the best camera smartphones of its time. Another feature that set it apart from other flagship phones was the secondary display on the back. This small rear screen provided quick access to notifications, enabled easier selfies using the main cameras, and displayed other useful information.

Powered by the Snapdragon 888, the Mi 11 Ultra featured a 6.81-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a ceramic back, and the unique secondary display, making it a standout in the flagship segment. Despite its high price of Rs 69,999, its top-tier cameras, powerful performance, and innovative design attracted enthusiasts, solidifying its place as one of Xiaomi’s most ambitious smartphones.

Redmi Note 10 Pro

The Redmi Note 10 Pro surged in popularity due to its impressive features at a mid-range price. ¹ It popularized high-brightness OLED displays, offering vibrant visuals. ² The global version’s 108-megapixel quad-camera setup (64-megapixel in India) delivered exceptional photography. Furthermore, the return to a glass back provided a premium feel, setting it apart from competitors. Redmi’s strategy of offering flagship-level features like a stunning OLED display, a 108/64-megapixel camera, and an elegant design made it a highly sought-after device.

Redmi Note 10 Pro is arguably one of the best smartphones Xiaomi has ever released. The product, which also goes by Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India, recently reached its end of software support.

Having been released in early 2021, the device received two Android and MIUI updates over the years. It debuted with Android 11-based MIUI 12 and currently boots MIUI 14 based on Android 13.

This means the handset is only a generation behind in terms of software. So what about hardware?

The phone’s specs still match those of the newer models in the segment. The only notable downsides are that it is limited to 4G and the chipset is comparatively slower.

So does that mean you should upgrade? We try to answer this question in this article.

Why you should not upgrade your Redmi Note 10 Pro?

The Redmi Note 10 Pro (aka Redmi Note 10 Pro Max) shook the budget smartphone category when it was introduced. In fact, there hasn’t been any handset like it until the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G, which is somewhat similar.

The phone is still usable today. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 732 chipset inside it can easily handle all the current-gen applications and the future ones even if you have the base 6GB RAM variant.

You wouldn’t run into app compatibility issues as the device boots only a year old Android 13. You will be missing out on the latest security patches, however, that’s not a concern unless there’s a serious vulnerability, which is rare.

As for specs, most products in the segment still have a similar feature set as the Redmi Note 10 Pro 3 years later. 

Your smartphone already flaunts an excellent 120Hz AMOLED display with 1200 nits peak brightness level and HDR10+ support. It has a capable 108MP primary camera, a useful 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 5MP telemacro snapper.

That’s not all, it comes with Dolby Atmos-supported dual stereo speakers to further improve the media experience. There are also a 3.5mm headphone jack and a MicroSD card slot, which are rarely found on newer phones. 

Finally, the handset is backed by a large 5,020mAh battery with respectable 33W charging support. Even if your battery has degraded, you can replace it at a nominal cost. We can say the same for the rear glass panel if it is broken.

Why you should upgrade your Redmi Note 10 Pro?

We could only think of one solid reason why you should upgrade your Redmi Note 10 Pro. And that is you are bored with your current phone after 3 years of usage and want to try something more premium.

If you want to upgrade just for 5G, we are sorry to say that you will get a similar or only slightly better experience with newer smartphones in the same price segment. You will find notable differences only when you spend more than what you paid for your Redmi Note 10 Pro years ago.

That was our factual answer. But we do have some nitpicks as to why you may want to upgrade.

Redmi Note 10 Pro’s charging speed is not slow but there are newer devices with even more faster charging standards. These latest handsets are also a bit faster and support 5G.

There’s a chance you might also like the camera processing on these newer phones, thanks to better ISP and algorithm. However, this is difficult to know without experiencing the latest devices yourself.

Lastly, you want more internal storage, which can be only realized by investing in any of the latest smartphones.

The post Should you upgrade your Redmi Note 10 Pro? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi Note 10 Pro was one of the best smartphones of its time. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SOC, the smartphone was positioned in the mid-segment and had better specifications than many competitors. Almost 3 years have passed since 2021. We are now in 2024 and the Chinese tech giant is ending update support for the Redmi Note 10 Pro / Max. Although this is sad, it should be remembered that every device has a certain life cycle.

Redmi Note 10 Pro / Max, EOL

Today Xiaomi added the Redmi Note 10 Pro / Max to the EOS (end-of-support) list. After that, the smartphone will not even receive any security patches. Redmi Note 10 Pro models normally had a chance to receive the HyperOS update, but due to unfortunate circumstances, this was completely forgotten. The Note 10 Pro Max has not received updates in India for a long time because it was thought that a motherboard problem could damage the device. So Xiaomi is trying to move away from the Note 10 Pro / Max. Of course, this applies to the Indian version of the product. This is not the situation with the global version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Over time, many models will be added to the Xiaomi EOS list, so be careful if you are using a model that has not received a security update! Because the device manufacturer has officially stopped providing support and this has caused security vulnerabilities. If you want to have a more reliable experience, you can switch to one of the high-end Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO models.

The sub-20K INR price segment (~$250) continues to be the hottest category in the Indian smartphone market in terms of sales. However, the products aren’t as interesting to tech enthusiasts as they used to be earlier.

The Redmi Notes were once the de facto option for no matter who. While the Realme numbers were an alternative.

With an increase in prices, these product lineups left a big shoe to fill in for others. But that never happened until now

Recently, Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G went official in India. Historically, Narzo phones have offered better value than their cousin Realme number series.

That’s no different this time either. In fact, I would say the Narzo series has one-upped its game.

In my opinion, Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G is the first interesting sub-20K INR smartphone after the hugely popular Redmi Note 10 Pro from 2021. Here’s why I think this way.

What made Redmi Note 10 Pro special?

Most premium smartphones are best at everything the brand can offer. On the other hand, in the budget category, phones shine in one or a few categories.

Therefore, you get lots of options as each device caters to a different audience. But once in a while, there are some products that excel in almost everything in their segment. The Redmi Note 10 Pro was one of those handsets.

It not only just had an AMOLED display but one with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1200 nits peak brightness level, and HDR10+ support. The device was powered by the most powerful 4G-only Qualcomm mid-range chipset — Snapdragon 732G.

Further, it came with a 108MP primary camera and a 5MP telemacro camera. Both these sensors were unheard of in this segment.  It also housed Doldby Atmo-supported dual stereo speakers and a large 5,020mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging.

Finally, it had a premium look and feel with a frosted glass back build.

Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G is similar to Redmi Note 10 Pro in many ways

What we said about the Redmi Note 10 Pro also applies to Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G to a great extent. Simply put, we can consider Narzo as the 5G version of Note.

The Narzo 70 Pro 5G has the brightest display in its segment with 2000 nits local peak brightness level. The screen-to-body ratio is not the best but not so far behind at 92.65% compared to Redmi Note 13’s 93.3%.

The handset’s primary highlights are its design and cameras. It is one of the few phones in the segment with a glass back and that too with a dual-tone finish (matte and glossy).

Most importantly, it has a flagship-grade Sony IMX890 primary camera with OIS. It is the first and the only device in its segment to feature this sensor.

The handset is powered by a Dimensity 7050 chip, which is only slower than the Dimensity 7200 SoC present inside its direct competitor iQOO Z9 5G. While in other departments, Narzo aces over iQOO with features like 67W wired charging and others mentioned above.

In other words, just like the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G caters to all types of consumers, including enthusiasts.

But there’s one notable difference

The Redmi Note 10 Pro was a multi-channel product. In simpler words, it was available widely across both offline and online channels. Thus, it not only had more reach but also several financing options to make it approachable to more consumers.

Whereas the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G is an online-esclusive product. It is only sold through Realme.com and Amazon. Thus, its reach is about half as that of Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Therefore, I don’t think that the Realme smartphone will be as popular as Redmi despite being the best product in the sub-20K INR price segment

The post Opinion: Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G is the best budget smartphone since Redmi Note 10 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro was arguably the best smartphone in its price range when it was launched in 2021. In fact, the device is so good that Xiaomi re-released it earlier this year in select markets as Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G with some tweaks.

However, this phone is plagued with issues, especially in India where it goes by Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. The country also got a toned-down version called Redmi Note 10 Pro with a different primary camera. Even this has the same issues.

Both these handsets run the same software builds. And for some reason, they haven’t received system updates for months.

Recently, Xiaomi started rolling out a new update (V14.0.7.0) for the Redmi Note 10 Pro global variant. This OTA software update arrives within 3 months from the last one (V14.0.4.0), which was released in July.

On the other hand, the Indian variant still runs V14.0.1.0. This version of the software was released in March for the global variant and in April for India. The global variant also received  V14.0.2.0 in April, which never reached the Indian version along with the other two releases discussed above.

In simper words, the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max and Redmi Note 10 Pro have not received a single system update in India since April. Whereas, the global model got three builds during these six months.

Xiaomi has officially not clarified this discrimination so far. However, we believe this could be due to the hardware issues faced by users by installing new MIUI updates.

Multiple users of Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India have been affected by software updates since the phones made their debut in the country. I personally know 3 people who are affected and it was me who recommended the handset to them in the first place.

Xiaomi answered this widespread issue with an additional year of warranty in May. This announcement came a month after the company released the last OTA software update for the devices.

All in all, it seems like Xiaomi has yet to fix the hardware failures caused by new MIUI updates. This could be the only plausible reason we could think of the lack of new software updates for the Indian variant.

The post Redmi Note 10 Pro has not received MIUI update in India for 6 months appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the 4G version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro. This device is nothing but a repacked Redmi Note 10 Pro (aka Redmi Note 10 Pro Max).

The phone has been re-released in the market two years after its initial release. Thankfully, the company has made some changes to the handset instead of re-launching the exact same product.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro not only arrives with a new design but also brings a couple of new features. Thus, it is sort of a better product than the already good Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Let’s check out what these new features are and how they make this device unique in its price segment.

Revamped Design

The first thing you will notice is that despite being a rebranded Redmi Note 10, the Redmi Note 12 Pro does not look like one. As it happens, the phone inherits its design from the Redmi Note 11 series.

You may be wondering why it has a Redmi Note 11 design when it is actually called Redmi Note 12 Pro. Because the handset was initially planned to release as Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023.

Personally, I prefer the original Redmi Note 10 Pro design. However, the market seems to like the flat frame design popularised by the iPhones.

Lastly, the smartphone arrives in three colors (black, blue, white, and blue gradient) but it does not come in bronze.

Upgraded Display

The Redmi Note 10 Pro had the best display in its price segment when it was released. Even after two years, its screen is still better than most of the competitors.

Xiaomi has upgraded this panel further by adding support for Dolby Vision. Thus, Redmi Note 12 Pro is currently the only smartphone in the sub-$250 price segment with this feature.

Along with Dolby Atmos-supported dual stereo speakers, users get a well-rounded multimedia experience, especially on Netflix.

For the unaware, the 6.67-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1200 nits peak brightness level.

Faster Charging

The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G comes with 67W fast wired charging support instead of 33W. Despite an increase in charging speed, it retains a 5,000mAh battery, which is only 20mAh smaller than the cell inside the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Like other Chinese OEMs, Xiaomi also bundles the required fast charger in the box. So you don’t have to shell out extra cash like you have to do with Samsung and Apple smartphones.

A Better Redmi Note 10 Pro

All in all, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is a better product than the original Redmi Note 10 Pro, thanks to the aforementioned changes. But it is still limited to 4G connectivity as it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732 chipset.

Thus, if the phone is available in your region and you don’t care about 5G, then the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G should be on your shopping list.

It was been more than two years passed since the official launch of the Redmi Note 10 series. The devices launched were seriously good with some top-notch hardware specifications at affordable pricing. It was launched with the Android 11 operating system out of the box. The brand has already rolled out the first major update to the devices i.e., Android 12. Now, the Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global) is receiving the second major update i.e., Android 13.

Finally, the users of Redmi Note 10 Pro devices will be able to get their hands on the latest MIUI 14 which is based on Android 13. The latest update for the Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global) comes under the build number V14.0.1.0.TKFMIXM. The update is rolling out in a staged rollout manner and hence, some of you may not get the update right now. But don’t worry, it would be rolled out to you as soon as possible. Anyway, here is the complete changelog of the MIUI 14 update for Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Highlights

• MIUI uses less memory now and keeps being swift and responsive over much more extended periods.
• Attention to detail redefines personalization and brings it to a new level.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is arguably the best value-for-money Redmi Note series smartphone to date. It was released in early 2021 with MIUI 12 based on Android 11.

Now, two years after its debut, the handset has started receiving the MIUI 14 update. The latest software build for the phone brings along Android 13 as well.

As per Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has begun to push MIUI 14 update for the Redmi Note 10 Pro. The update is currently live for the EEA variant of the device with build number V14.0.1.0.TKFEUXM.

Unsurprisingly, the new software build is limited to ‘Pilot Testers’. However, it should be available for every user in the coming days.

The update will enter the ‘Stable Beta’ phase next, followed by the ‘Stable’ channel. At the same time, it will likely reach other regional variants of the device.

Usually, Redmi Notes are eligible for two Android upgrades. Therefore, the Android 13-based MIUI 14 update is likely the last major software update for the Redmi Note 10 Pro since it has already received MIUI 13 based on Android 12 after launch.

Anyway, it should continue receiving security updates for a while. But we are not sure if it will get access to any more Android updates. However, there’s a chance of an MIUI upgrade.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro was one of the best smartphones when it went official. Even today, it can be considered a better alternative to cheap 5G handsets. Unfortunately, its official software support won’t last long.

The motherboard issue was also acknowledged, with a free service and an extended 6-month warranty also offered.

With brands launching new smartphones every week, it becomes hard to keep track of your available options when looking to buy a new model. So here’s a list of our pick of the best smartphones under 20,000 INR (roughly 258 US Dollars).

Redmi Note 10 Pro

The first entry in our list is the Redmi Note 10 Pro. This model from the Chinese brand is packed with some notable specifications, which includes a Snapdragon 732G SoC, a 6.67 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10, and even a 64 megapixel quad camera setup. It also has a 5020mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging. For enthusiasts, the device supports bootloader unlocking and is backed by a very large 3rd party development community.

While the device had seen a price hike in the past, it is now available for just 15,999 INR (roughly 206 US Dollars) in India on Amazon for its 6GB RAM + 128GB configuration. With these specs, its clear that this model is a great buy for people looking to buy a phone under 20K INR. Although its unfortunate that it does not support 5G networking, it still has a great price to spec ratio and is definitely a worthwhile consideration.

POCO X4 Pro 5G

Under this price bracket, we can expect to see Chinese handsets dominating the segment, with the POCO X4 Pro 5G being one of them. Talking about its specs first, it sports a 6.67 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate on the front, while the rear features a 64 megapixel quad camera setup on a large module. Under the hood, it houses a Snapdragon 695 SoC and is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 67W fast charging as well.

Notably, the X4 Pro model is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, with a fresh coat of paint a slightly different rear design. Since it is based on the MIUI platform, it even supports bootloader unlocking, which lets enthusiasts customize their device to a greater degree thanks to custom ROMs. The company has always placed a focus on the aesthetics of their phones and the X4 Pro is undoubtedly one of the more attractive looking models on this list. The smartphone is listed on Flipkart right now and has a price tag of 18,999 INR for its 6GB + 64GB variant and you can even opt for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage options as well.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G

Over the last couple of years, OnePlus has started launching mid range offerings from its Nord series. One of the newer additions in the Nord family is the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. Under the hood, the device houses the Snapdragon 695 SoC and a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging. On the rear, it features a 64 megapixel triple camera setup while the front sports a 6.59 inch LCD panel with a FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

This model is also a rebranded Realme 9 Pro that is just available in different color options. So, you can also check out that model as well, which is slightly cheaper. The Nord CE 2 Lite is priced at 19,999 INR and is listed on Amazon for its 6GB + 128GB model. Despite being a mid range handset, OnePlus still seeks to deliver a premium experience on their Nord phones too. At this price point, the device offers great value for its price. So those looking to buy a OnePlus phone at a budget, you can look out for this one. Similar to the Xiaomi models, this handset also supports bootloader unlocking for enthusiasts that plan on using custom ROMs.

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G

While Chinese brands do have a strong hold in the segment, Samsung also has a diverse portfolio of mid range handsets from its Galaxy M series. The Galaxy M33 5G arrives with the company’s proprietary Exynos 1280 SoC and is powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging. Samsung has promised two major Android updates and up to four years of security updates. So, its a great option for those that do not upgrade their phones in just a few years.

The front sports a 6.6 inch FHD+ LCD panel that has 120Hz refresh rate, while the rear houses a 50 megapixel quad camera setup. Battery life is definitely a strong suit of this model, with the phone also being one of the more affordable phones on this list. It is currently priced at 17,999 INR on Amazon for the 6GB + 128GB model. It can also be purchased with 8GB of RAM.

iQOO Z6 5G

In this price range, the Snapdragon 695 SoC is a popular chipset with brands. The iQOO Z6 5G is also one such models that features this processor. It packs a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 18W fast charging. The device sports a 6.58 inch LCD panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution like the other models in this list. Interestingly, it is by far one of the cheapest entries as well with its price starting from 15,499 INR on Amazon for its 4GB + 128GB option.

The 8GB RAM variant goes up to about 17,999 INR, but that is still quite the value for a mid range handset. Other features include, a 50 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear, Android 12 OS, 5 layer liquid cooling for improved thermal management, which helps makes the mobile gaming experience better. Notably, the iQOO Z6 is also a rebranded Vivo T1 that has a similar price tag, so you can also check out the other model as well if you prefer FunTouch OS.

Moto G71 5G

Despite having an unsteady footing over the last couple of years, Motorola has managed to carve its own space in the smartphone market again. Its mid range handset portfolio has seen success in certain regions including India, with the Moto G series still being a popular choice for users looking for a new stock Android experience. Under the hood, the Moto G71 is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 SoC and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging.

On the front, it sports a 6.4 inch display that has a FHD+ AMOLED panel, but unfortunately, it only supports standard 60Hz refresh rate. So, this model isn’t as great for gaming, but it still offers a solid Android experience. Other features include a 50 megapixel triple camera setup, support for 13 5G bands, Dolby Atmos audio, and more. Interestingly, Motorola also has another new offering within this price segment.

The Moto G82 is sort of a successor or refreshed version of the G71 and it is currently available for purchase in the region for a price tag of around 19,999 INR. At the moment, it is priced at 21,499 INR, but deals help bring its price down. Under the hood, the smartphone is practically the same as the Moto G71. However, one major change is the 6.6 inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and support for a 120Hz refresh rate, which is an improvement over the 60Hz refresh rate from the G71.

The post Best Smartphones under Rs 20,000 In India (August 2022) appeared first on Gizmochina.

With brands launching new smartphones every week, it becomes hard to keep track of your available options when looking to buy a new model. So here’s a list of our pick of the best smartphones under 20,000 INR (roughly 258 US Dollars).

Redmi Note 10 Pro

The first entry in our list is the Redmi Note 10 Pro. This model from the Chinese brand is packed with some notable specifications, which includes a Snapdragon 732G SoC, a 6.67 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10, and even a 64 megapixel quad camera setup. It also has a 5020mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging. For enthusiasts, the device supports bootloader unlocking and is backed by a very large 3rd party development community.

While the device had seen a price hike in the past, it is now available for just 15,999 INR (roughly 206 US Dollars) in India on Amazon for its 6GB RAM + 128GB configuration. With these specs, its clear that this model is a great buy for people looking to buy a phone under 20K INR. Although its unfortunate that it does not support 5G networking, it still has a great price to spec ratio and is definitely a worthwhile consideration.

POCO X4 Pro 5G

Under this price bracket, we can expect to see Chinese handsets dominating the segment, with the POCO X4 Pro 5G being one of them. Talking about its specs first, it sports a 6.67 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate on the front, while the rear features a 64 megapixel quad camera setup on a large module. Under the hood, it houses a Snapdragon 695 SoC and is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 67W fast charging as well.

Notably, the X4 Pro model is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, with a fresh coat of paint a slightly different rear design. Since it is based on the MIUI platform, it even supports bootloader unlocking, which lets enthusiasts customize their device to a greater degree thanks to custom ROMs. The company has always placed a focus on the aesthetics of their phones and the X4 Pro is undoubtedly one of the more attractive looking models on this list. The smartphone is listed on Flipkart right now and has a price tag of 18,999 INR for its 6GB + 64GB variant and you can even opt for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage options as well.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G

Over the last couple of years, OnePlus has started launching mid range offerings from its Nord series. One of the newer additions in the Nord family is the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. Under the hood, the device houses the Snapdragon 695 SoC and a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging. On the rear, it features a 64 megapixel triple camera setup while the front sports a 6.59 inch LCD panel with a FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

This model is also a rebranded Realme 9 Pro that is just available in different color options. So, you can also check out that model as well, which is slightly cheaper. The Nord CE 2 Lite is priced at 19,999 INR and is listed on Amazon for its 6GB + 128GB model. Despite being a mid range handset, OnePlus still seeks to deliver a premium experience on their Nord phones too. At this price point, the device offers great value for its price. So those looking to buy a OnePlus phone at a budget, you can look out for this one. Similar to the Xiaomi models, this handset also supports bootloader unlocking for enthusiasts that plan on using custom ROMs.

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G

While Chinese brands do have a strong hold in the segment, Samsung also has a diverse portfolio of mid range handsets from its Galaxy M series. The Galaxy M33 5G arrives with the company’s proprietary Exynos 1280 SoC and is powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging. Samsung has promised two major Android updates and up to four years of security updates. So, its a great option for those that do not upgrade their phones in just a few years.

The front sports a 6.6 inch FHD+ LCD panel that has 120Hz refresh rate, while the rear houses a 50 megapixel quad camera setup. Battery life is definitely a strong suit of this model, with the phone also being one of the more affordable phones on this list. It is currently priced at 17,999 INR on Amazon for the 6GB + 128GB model. It can also be purchased with 8GB of RAM.

iQOO Z6 5G

In this price range, the Snapdragon 695 SoC is a popular chipset with brands. The iQOO Z6 5G is also one such models that features this processor. It packs a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 18W fast charging. The device sports a 6.58 inch LCD panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution like the other models in this list. Interestingly, it is by far one of the cheapest entries as well with its price starting from 15,499 INR on Amazon for its 4GB + 128GB option.

The 8GB RAM variant goes up to about 17,999 INR, but that is still quite the value for a mid range handset. Other features include, a 50 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear, Android 12 OS, 5 layer liquid cooling for improved thermal management, which helps makes the mobile gaming experience better. Notably, the iQOO Z6 is also a rebranded Vivo T1 that has a similar price tag, so you can also check out the other model as well if you prefer FunTouch OS.

Moto G71 5G

Despite having an unsteady footing over the last couple of years, Motorola has managed to carve its own space in the smartphone market again. Its mid range handset portfolio has seen success in certain regions including India, with the Moto G series still being a popular choice for users looking for a new stock Android experience. Under the hood, the Moto G71 is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 SoC and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging.

On the front, it sports a 6.4 inch display that has a FHD+ AMOLED panel, but unfortunately, it only supports standard 60Hz refresh rate. So, this model isn’t as great for gaming, but it still offers a solid Android experience. Other features include a 50 megapixel triple camera setup, support for 13 5G bands, Dolby Atmos audio, and more.

Xiaomi has kickstarted the Xiaomi Fan Festival worldwide. The company is offering discounts on a wide variety of products across multiple countries. We stumbled across interesting deals provided by the Indian division on two of the popular smartphones from 2021 – Redmi Note 10 Pro and Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. Let’s check out how much they cost now.

Xiaomi India has partnered with SBI (State Bank of India) for discounts on the occasion of the Xiaomi Fan Festival, which will last from April 6 to April 12 on Mi.com. Additionally, the Chinese consumer tech company is also offering discount coupons. Combining these two offers, customers can purchase certain products at very low prices.

For instance, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G is priced at ₹26,999 (6GB + 128GB) and ₹28,999 (8GB + 128GB) in the country.  With the ₹1,000 discount coupon and ₹5,000 discount on SBI Credit Card or Credit Card EMI transactions, customers can avail the said phone at only ₹20,999 and ₹22,999.

Xiaomi recently announced their Q1 plans for the global rollout of Android 12 based MIUI 13. Yesterday, the update was announced for the Redmi 10 making it the first budget device to get the MIUI 13, and now, the Redmi Note 8 (2021) and the Note 10 Pro have also been issued the Android 12 upgrade.

Redmi Note 8 (2021) MIUI 13

The update carries firmware version V13.0.2.0.SCUMIXM for the Redmi Note 8 (2021) and is rolling out the “Global” region. The full ROM is sized 2.7GB and comes with the January security patch. Being marked as a “stable beta” means that it is yet to roll out widely, but once declared bug-free, more users should be getting it.

The official changelog reveals that other than bringing the latest MIUI version to the device, the update also brings better optimization for some apps and overall improvement in system stability.

Redmi Note 10 Pro MIUI 13

The Redmi Note 10 Pro also gets the MIUI 13 update, however, it is only limited to Europen regions for now. The update comes with version number V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM and is rolling out to devices in the EEA (European Economic Area) region. The update carries a size of 3.3GB and similar to the Note 8 update, it is marked as “stable beta.” The update will be released to the general consumers once it is declared bug-free

The official changelog doesn’t have much to say about the contents of the update and touts optimized system performance and improved system security and stability which may indicate in the inclusion of the January security patch.

Users of the Redmi 10 Pro outside Europe are also expected to soon receive this update. As for Indian users, they can expect this update to hit their Redmi Note 10 Pro Max devices the company has rebranded the Redmi Note 10 Pro in the Indian market.

After teasing for days, Xiaomi finally announced the Redmi Note 11 and the Redmi Note 11S in India earlier today. However, unlike the Redmi Note 10 series launch event that happened in March 2021, this year’s conference was not so interesting despite the live stream being AI-generated. Because the products are sort of boring as compared to last gen.

The newer models do bring some upgrades but then again, that’s what the latest generation should offer. Anyhow, the pricing of the new smartphones is unlike Xiaomi.

In a nutshell, we really don’t think that Xiaomi India ‘Set the Bar’ with the Redmi Note 11S.

Xiaomi India had been hyping the launch of the Redmi Note 11S in the country even before the device went official in other markets. Specifically, the company uses the term ‘Set The Bar’ to promote this phone.

But deep down we all, including Xiaomi, know that the company had actually ‘Set the Bar’ last year with the India-exclusive Redmi Note 10 Pro.

For those unaware, the Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in India is not available anywhere else. This phone packs all the features of the Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in other international markets, except for the 108MP primary camera.

The device uses a 64MP main camera. As a result, it debuted at ₹3,000 cheaper than the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, which is actually the Redmi Note 10 Pro that’s available elsewhere.

This handset was introduced at ₹15,999 for the base 6GB + 64GB memory configuration. Almost a year later, Xiaomi launches the same variant of the Redmi Note 11S in India a bit higher at ₹16,499.

For starters, the Redmi Note 11S is not a successor of the Redmi Note 10 Pro. It actually succeeds the Redmi Note 10S, which debuted at ₹14,999 for 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

The Redmi Note 11S is a better handset than its predecessor. But it’s definitely not on par with the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Because the latter not only offers a matte rear glass finish but a better chipset in the form of Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G and a capable 5MP telemacro camera with autofocus.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro went through multiple price hikes and the base variant was discontinued long ago. Anyway, the mid 6GB + 128GB version and the top 8GB + 128GB are still on sale for ₹17,999 and ₹18,999 respectively. 

In other words, the handset is only ₹500 costlier than the same memory configurations of the Redmi Note 11S. In our opinion, one should better get the older phone than the newer one.

The Redmi Note 11S is a good smartphone standalone. However, its pricing makes the year-old Redmi Note 10 Pro a better deal in India. Having said that, we are not sure how long Xiaomi will continue selling the last-gen model. 

What are your thoughts on the Redmi Note 11S in India? Do you think Xiaomi should have retained its predecessor’s price?  Let us know in the comment section below.

The post Here’s why Redmi Note 11S does not ‘Set the Bar’ in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 11 series for international markets. The lineup includes two Pro models, namely Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The duo shares almost everything, except for the chip which determines their support for 5G connectivity.

On the other hand, the last year’s international Redmi Note 10 series consists of a single Pro model in just about all markets, except for India. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is known as Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India. Because the country has an exclusive Redmi Note 10 Pro with a 64MP primary camera instead of a 108MP sensor.

With that out of the way, are the latest Redmi Note 11 Pro smartphones better than the Redmi Note 10 Pro models? We find out the answer to the question in this article.

New design but sidegraded features

The Redmi Note 11 Pro arrives with a different design. The device features a flat frame, however, the material still remains plastic. It retains the rear glass panel and they now flaunt new colors like Atlantic Blue, Polar White, and Graphite Gray. The first hue, in particular, is unique as it mimics water waves.

Whereas, the Redmi Note 10 Pro flaunts the regular curved rear glass design. It comes in classy colors, such as Onyx Gray, Glacier Blue, and Gradient Bronze.

Coming to specs, the two handsets primarily differ only in terms of chipset, camera system, and charging speed. The last-gen model has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, a 5MP telemacro camera with autofocus, and 33W fast charging support. While the latest-gen phone houses a Mediatek Helio G96 (4G variant)/Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 (5G variant) chipset, a 2MP macro camera, and supports 67W fast charging.

Apart from the aforementioned dissimilarities, the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 11 Pro are basically similar. They sport a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, LPDDR4x RAM,  UFS 2.2 storage, 108MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide shooter, 16MP selfie snapper, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB Type-C port.

Both run Android 11, however, the newer smartphone comes with MIUI 13. Finally, the battery capacity is nearly identical – 5,000mAh (new) vs 5,020mAh (old).

Is 5G worth it?

The only big upgrade in the Redmi Note 11 Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip. The silicon not only enables 5G connectivity but also offers better performance. 

The latter is useful for any user. Whereas, 5G is not meant for everyone. Most people still don’t have access to the latest cell network.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is only recommended for those who are in the vicinity where 5G is the norm. You may wonder what about performance? We have an answer for that too.

The device starts at $329 for 6GB + 64GB. The base variant’s storage is low for today’s standard. So most people would buy the 128GB version, which arrives with either 6GB ($349) or 8GB RAM($379). At this price, if one really cares about performance, then they may be better off with the POCO F3, which costs around the same and also offers 5G.

Old is gold

Considering the above-listed factors, the year-old Redmi Note 10 Pro still sounds like a good deal. It can still take on the Redmi Note 11 Pro. You get the almost same experience for way less price.

Usually, new phones are better than their older counterparts. However, once in a while, due to minute upgrades, the older handsets offer better value for the price tag on them.

Xiaomi set the bar very high with the Redmi Note 10 series. It was expected for the company to face difficulties in upping its game in the next generation. Perhaps, the Redmi Note 12 Pro may arrive as a better successor than the Redmi Note 11 Pro.

Xiaomi has started rolling out the MIUI 13 stable update for eligible devices in China. So far, only a select few premium smartphones and tablets have got access to the latest version of MIUI along with Android 12.  We expect the software to soon reach international markets as the company has begun to compile the update for global handsets like the Redmi Note 10 series.

According to Xiaomiui, the initial MIUI 13 builds based on Android 12 are ready for two of the phones in the international Redmi Note 10 series, namely Redmi Note 10 (mojito) and Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet). The latter smartphone is also known as Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India. These builds are currently limited to the following two regional variants of the handsets.

MIUI 13 Update for Redmi Note 10 Series

• Redmi Note 10

  • Global: V13.0.1.0.SKGMIXM
  • EEA: V13.0.1.0.SKGEUXM

• Redmi Note 10 Pro

  • Global: V13.0.1.0.SKFMIXM
  • EEA: V13.0.1.0.SKFEUXM

We expect the company to compile the update for the remaining regional variants in the coming days. These builds will be first made available for MIUI Pilot Testers, followed by a batched rollout (Stable Beta) and final release (Stable).

In simpler words, though the MIUI 13 update is ready for the Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro, it will take some time to reach the end-users. Hopefully, the update rolls out before the end of Q1 2022.

Xiaomi officially launched the Redmi Note 11 series in the Chinese market. The best variant of the series in terms of quality price ratio is the Redmi Note 11 Pro, which sits exactly in the middle of the new trio. But in commerce, there is still the older Redmi Note 10 Pro which is currently available at incredibly affordable street prices. Are the improvements provided by the Redmi Note 11 Pro worth its higher price or it is better to go for the older Redmi Note 10 Pro? Through this comparison, we will explain to you what is changed between the two models and let you understand which one provides the highest value for money.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

Design

The Redmi Note 11 Pro introduces a new design with flat borders just like the latest iPhones. It is a bit less ergonomic but more trendy and it makes the phone look more beautiful. Both the phones are made with a glass back and they have a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is thinner and lighter because it houses a smaller battery, but the overall dimensions are more or less the same. Note that the Redmi Note 10 Pro features the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

FRom the display point of view, there are no changes between these two generations. The panels used for these two phones are exactly the same: an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels), the HDR10 certification, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The displays are protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and, despite being AMOLED, they do not include an in-display fingerprint reader. The fingerprint scanner is placed at the side, on the power key. In both cases, you get a punch hole placed centrally, right under the earpiece.

Hardware/Software

The most important difference between Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro related to the hardware department is 5G: the Redmi Note 11 Pro supports the 5G connectivity, while its predecessor does not. While the new model is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G mobile platform, the older one is fueled by the Snapdragon 732G. The Dimensity 920 is actually much more powerful than Snapdragon 732G, but we are still talking about a midrange processor. The SoC is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro features up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Despite they belong to two different generations, they both run Android 11 out of the box, but the Redmi Note 11 Pro ships with a more recent MIUI 12.5, while its predecessor has MIUI 12.

Camera

The Redmi Note 11 Pro is actually a downgrade if we talk about cameras, but it is just a slight downgrade and it only regards secondary sensors. The main camera does not change: it remains a 108 MP sensor with an f/1.9 focal aperture. Even the 8 MP ultrawide sensor remains the same. The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 5 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro has just a 2 MP telephoto macro camera which is more disappointing in terms of photo quality. Even the front camera is the same 16 MP sensor on both phones.

Battery

The Redmi Note 11 Pro provides a slightly bigger battery with a capacity of 5160 mAh. If you do not enable 5G, thanks to the 6 nm production process of the Dimensity 920, you should obtain a slightly higher battery life. You also get faster charging speeds thanks to a 67W fast charging technology.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: Price

The starting price of the Redmi Note 11 Pro for the Chinese market is €220/$255, while the Redmi Note 10 Pro used to start from €260/$300, but it is currently available with a way more affordable price tag than Redmi Note 11 Pro. However, the 11 Pro wins the value for money comparison thanks to 5G, faster charging, and a better processor.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max were launched in India in March. The smartphones debuted in three colors. Now, five months after their release, they are now available in four colors.

Recently, the Redmi Note 10S got a new Cosmic Purple color variant in India. Following that, the more expensive Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max now come in a similar color.

The new colorway for the Redmi Note 10 Pro series in India is called ‘Dark Nebula’. This color option has a glossy finish like the ‘Dark Knight’ color variant. For those unaware, the Glacial Blue and the Vintage Bronze color versions feature a matte finish.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in Dark Nebula color variant is already up for sale on Mi.com. At present, this colorway is not listed on Amazon India. Maybe, it will be available later since the Cosmic Purple color version of Redmi Note 10S can be purchased from both Mi.com and Amazon India.

Having said that, these smartphones now only come in two storage configurations. That’s because Xiaomi silently discontinued the base 6GB + 64GB variant. Additionally, the 6GB + 128GB version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro has received two price hikes so far.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro series currently retails for the following price tags in India.

• Redmi Note 10 Pro
  • 6GB + 128GB – ₹17,999
  • 8GB + 128GB – ₹18,999
• Redmi Note 10 Pro Max
  • 6GB + 128GB – ₹19,999
  • 8GB + 128GB – ₹21,999

The post Redmi Note 10 Pro, Pro Max now come in a new ‘Dark Nebula’ color variant in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few months ago, in March this year, Xiaomi launched its Redmi Note 10 series smartphones in the Indian market, which also included the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max.

The base model for both of these smartphones packed 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The Redmi Note 10 Pro started at ₹15,999 (~$220) while the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max had a started price of ₹18,999 (~$261).

However, it now appears that the company has discontinued the base model with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage in the Indian market. This looks like a permanent thing as the model has been removed from the company’s official website.

It still continues to sell two other memory variants — 6GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage. The devices come in three color options — Dark Night, Glacial Blue, and Vintage Bronze.

Since the launch of the Redmi Note 10 series smartphones in the Indian market, the company has increased the pricing of the Pro variant twice by ₹500 each time. Thus, the phone now starts at ₹17,999. The pricing of the standard model has also been increased three times so far.

Both — the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max come with a 6.67-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 120HZ refresh rate and a 2.96mm centered punch-hole.

The panel has a peak brightness of 1200 nits, 45000000:1 contrast ratio, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission, supports HDR10, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

In the camera department, the Pro model comes with a 64MP (Samsung GW3) primary camera, whereas the Pro Max gets a 108MP (Samsung HM2) main sensor. The remaining cameras on both are the same — an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 5MP telemacro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front side, both of them feature a 16MP selfie shooter.

Under the hood, the devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. On the connectivity front, they support dual-SIM, 4G, VoLTE, VoWiFi, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GNSS. They run the MIUI 12 based on Android 11 and are powered by a 5,020mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max are the best Redmi Note smartphones to date. They come with features that were unheard of in the budget segment a couple of years ago. The handsets are now receiving a new system update, which further enhances the user experience.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro series sport dual stereo speakers for an immersive audio experience. With the new system update, the company has further enhanced the experience.

As per a user on Twitter, Xiaomi is rolling out a new OTA update for these phones in India. The latest software update arrives with build number MIUI V12.5.4.0.RKFINXM.

According to the official changelog, the main highlight of the new MIUI build is ‘Dolby effects’. Other than that, it fixes an issue with notifications and bumps up the security patch level to May 2021 when it’s already August.

The screenshots shared by the user confirm that the ‘Dolby effects’ feature is actually ‘Dolby Atmos’ and it also comes with an equalizer. Users can choose any of the default presets or create a customized setting of their own.

The Dolby Atmos on the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max should work while playing proper Dolby content via both speakers as well as the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The latest system update for these smartphones is being rolled out in batches in India for the past couple of weeks. Therefore, it might take some time to reach every unit. Unfortunately, it’s not known whether other regional variants will be getting this feature.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in India is exclusive to the country. It comes with a 64MP primary camera instead of a 108MP shooter like on the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, which is actually known as the Redmi Note 10 Pro in the rest of the world. Anyway, this device has now received its second price hike exactly a month after the first.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 10 Pro in India in three storage configurations – 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB. They debuted for ₹15,999, ₹16,999, and ₹18,999 respectively.

But unfortunately, the company increased the price of the mid 6GB + 128GB variant by ₹500 on June 4. Hence, this version of the smartphone had been selling for ₹17,499 since then.

Yesterday, on July 4, a month after the first price hike, the same memory variant got its second price hike of ₹500. Therefore, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 6GB + 128GB now retails for ₹17,999 in India.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is not the only phone in the Redmi Note 10 series to get multiple price hikes in India. Just a few days back, the price of the vanilla Redmi Note was increased the third time. Additionally, Xiaomi also incremented the price of its select Mi TV and Redmi TV models in the country.

The increase in the price of smartphones and televisions is a direct result of the shortage of components. If the situation continues, it may affect the rate of demand in India.

Redmi is Xiaomi’s sub-brand focused on affordable phones, but Xiaomi also releases affordable phones at the same level as some Redmi phones under its main smartphone series. We are talking about the Lite variants of the Mi series, the last of which is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. A lot of people are wondering whether they should choose the most advanced Redmi phones or the most affordable Mi phones in the same price range, and that is the reason why we decided to publish this comparison. We compared the specifications of the Redmi Note 10 Pro to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite in order to establish which one is the best.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite

Design

If the design is your main concern, you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite without thinking twice. First of all, it is a thinner and lighter phone than Redmi Note 10 Pro. Further, it has a more attractive look and a more compact body. There is no challenge: Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is more beautiful and user-friendly when it comes to design. However, you should note that the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Both the phones have the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a higher refresh rate of 120 Hz and it is more suitable to play games. However, if you are looking for the best display quality, then you should opt for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. It is one of the few affordable phones to show up to one billion colors with its extraordinary Full HD+ display. We are talking about an AMOLED panel with the HDR10 certification and a 90 Hz refresh rate. With the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite, you can also get a slightly higher brightness.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10 Pro pack the same processor: a Snapdragon 732G chipset paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage (UFS 2.2). They are able to provide the same level of performance, they have a micro SD slot and, unfortunately, they both lack 5G connectivity. Alongside the prices, the similar hardware departments are the main reason why we put these two devices in the same comparison. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10 Pro run Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI 12.

Camera

The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a more interesting main camera: a 108 MP midrange-class sensor with an f/1.9 aperture. It also comes with an additional 2 MP depth sensor, even though it is pretty useless for almost every photo. Both the phones have an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 5 MP macro camera, as well as the same 16 MP front camera. The only important difference is the main rear camera.

Battery

The Redmi Note 10 Pro wins the battery life comparison for a simple reason: it packs a much bigger battery. This is definitely the killer feature of the device if compared to the Mi 11 Lite. Xiaomi decided to equip the Mi 11 Lite with a smaller battery in order to guarantee a lightweight body and a thin design.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite price in India starts from Rs. 21,999 / $295, while in the global market you can buy it for less than €300 thanks to online street prices. The lowest listing price for Redmi Note 10 Pro in India is Rs. 16,150 / $217 (less than €300 in the global market). The Redmi Note 10 Pro provides a higher value for money mainly because of its bigger battery. The Mi 11 Lite has a better display, thinner and lighter body, but the battery is too small compared to its rival and the hardware department is the same. That is the reason why I would go for the Redmi budget phone.

The post Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi India unveiled the Redmi Note 10 series in India in early March. The handsets went on sale starting in the middle of that month. Initially, the company only introduced three models. A fourth model launched in the country in mid-May. Three months after the series debut in India, it has achieved a sales record.

According to the official Twitter accounts of Redmi India and Manu Kumar Jain (Managing Director of Xiaomi India), the Redmi Note 10 series sold over 2 million units in India. The company has managed to sell 3,000 crores+ worth of Redmi Note 10 series smartphones within three months from its initial debut.

These figures are indeed outstanding. Mr. Jain also says that if the Redmi Note was a separate independent brand, it would have been the third or fourth-largest smartphone brand in India.

Unlike in China, Xiaomi is known for its Redmi brand in India, especially the Redmi Note series. Therefore, it is not surprising to learn the sales milestone accomplished by the Redmi Note 10 series in a short period of time despite the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

The Redmi Note 10 lineup in India includes four devices, namely Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10S, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. The Redmi Note 10 5G is not sold in the region because of the availability of POCO M3 Pro 5G, which is essentially the same phone.

The Redmi Note series from Xiaomi has been one of the most popular from the Chinese brand and that continues with the newly launched Redmi Note 10 lineup as well, which went on sale on 1st June.

Now, the brand has revealed that it has managed to sell over 1 million units of the Redmi Note 10 series smartphones in just nine days after the device went on sale in China. In the first hour of the sale, the volume exceeded 500,000 units, said the company. It also added that the Redmi Note 10 Pro became the sales champion on JD.com.

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro in China which comes with support for 5G connectivity. The Redmi Note 10 features a 6.5-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and comes powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC.

On the other hand, the Pro variant features a 6.6-inch LCD panel with Full HD+ screen resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset.

As for the camera department, the base model has a dual-camera setup on the back with a 48-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. On the other hand, the Pro model features a 64MP (wide) + 8MP (120-degree ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup. On the front side, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 16MP snapper while the standard model has an 8MP snapper.

Both the smartphones are running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with MIUI 12.5 custom user interface on top. The phones are powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for fast charging technology.

The 10th generation of the Redmi Note series, the king of budget phones, was released 6 months ago. But today, we are looking at the Pro model from China, the Redmi Note 10 Pro. We’ll see how it differs from the Note 9 Pro and what all features have been upgraded or downgraded. 

Note that the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s Chinese variant that we have in our hands and the Global variant are two completely different phones. They just share the same name but the features are quite different. 

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Design

Unlike the Redmi Note 9 Pro, the Note 10 Pro does not bring significant changes in appearance. The metal ring design of the camera and the three-dimensional raster process of the back cover are designs that Xiaomi’s flagship phones have used before. So the first time you see the Redmi Note10 Pro, it doesn’t give the impression of a budget $250 smartphone. 

Visually it looks more eye-catching than the Note 9 Pro, but the back cover material has been changed from glass to plastic. So it doesn’t feel as premium as you’d expect. The dual speakers, NFC, and IR blaster are also present, and the fingerprint recognition is also the same as the K40 series without the recessed design, which looks like an ordinary power button. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the design of the Note 10 Pro, while the plastic back cover and frame also enable a lightweight body with a weight less than 200g. If you don’t have a particular color preference, we recommend buying the white version, which has a three-dimensional raster process and is not as easy to get oil stains as our cyan one.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Display

The Redmi Note 10 Pro’s screen has a few little surprises this time around. This 1080p 120Hz LCD screen is equipped with the same screen display technology as the Mi 10T Pro — AdaptiveSync, which intelligently matches the displayed media frame rate to change the screen refresh rate for a power-saving effect. The screen protection glass used is the latest Corning Gorilla Victus.

This glass is generally reserved only for the best flagship phones. The usual issue of dark edges on an LCD screen is not very serious on the Note 10 Pro either. In addition to the edge of the screen being not very smooth, this screen is considered excellent in its price range. 

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Hardware & Gaming

Because of the global chip shortage, many low-end and mid-range phones have started using MediaTek chips to ensure sufficient supply, and the Note 10 Pro is no exception. It uses Dimensity 1100 and the main difference compared to Dimensity 1200 is that the large core is clocked down, so the transient output will be weaker.

You can also see this through the various Benchmarks. On Antutu the phone scores 661116, in 3D Mark 3981, in GFXBench OpenGL around 1777, and in 1080P Manhattan 3.1 Offscreen around 4652. These scores are a bit worse than Dimensity 1200 in the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. Redmi has enhanced the cooling system and equipped the Note 10 Pro with an X-axis linear motor to make the gaming experience better. PUBG HDR Graphics can only run at a maximum frame rate of 40fps. No 90fps frame rate support. PUBG can run at close to full frame rate without a problem, but Genshin Impact and Brightridge reveal the real problem.

Genshin Impact is not only locked to a maximum frame rate cap of 50fps, but it is also not able to sustain 50fps. After nine minutes of downclocking, the frame rate locks between 30fps and 40fps.

The same problem was found in Brightridge, though it had a bit more fluctuation than Genshin Impact. Thankfully because of its plastic body and the fact that the performance output was not as powerful, the temperature did not exceed 50°C throughout the gaming period. Truth be told, this kind of gaming performance is already excellent for a $250 phone. If you want to play games, as long as you are willing to lower some of the Graphics quality, I believe it can provide a good gaming experience.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Camera

The Note 10 Pro’s triple camera system features a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. This camera system is almost identical to the K40 Gaming Edition except for the glass-plastic hybrid lens and aperture. The photos they take are also almost identical. You can hardly notice the difference between them, maybe sometimes the K40 Gaming Edition has a higher dynamic range, but most of the time it’s hard to notice.

So I’ll just conclude: the main camera is average for its price range, and the highlight control is excellent at night with night mode on.

The ultra-wide lens is also average, and the image quality is poor when the light is low. The macro lens is of little use, you can get similar results with the main camera crop, but this camera is almost unusable when the light is low. There is no doubt that its camera quality is a downgrade when compared to the Note 9 Pro, so if you like to take photos, you might have to rethink buying this model. 

The video part is the same as the K40 Gaming Edition, with the main camera supporting up to 4K 30fps and the ultra-wide lens supporting up to 1080P 30fps. You can also see from the video how the image quality performs. If you want a phone with excellent video, just don’t buy a MediaTek chip phone.

JBL’s tuning is also present on the Note 10 Pro this time. You can hear the difference with the K40 Gaming Edition for yourselves.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Charging & Battery Life

A 67w charging head is included in the box. That’s right, the Note 10 Pro supports up to 67w of charging power this time, the same charging power as the K40 Gaming Edition. The charging speed is also similar, topping up to 35% in just 10 minutes, 79% in 30 minutes, and taking 44 minutes for a full charge. Battery capacity has been increased from 4820mAh in Note 9 Pro to 5000mAh. Half an hour of Tiktok and half an hour of 1080P video playback consume 6% each, PUBG uses up 7%, Genshin Impact around 12%, and Brightridge around 11%. It seems that Dimensity 1100 is indeed a more power-efficient chip.

I’m sure you’re wondering if the Redmi Note 10 Pro supports Google Mobile Services, but unfortunately, the latest version doesn’t yet. However, the K40 Gaming Edition has already got perfect support for Google Mobile Service in the latest version of MIUI, so I believe Redmi will also allow the Note 10 Pro to use Google Mobile Service in the near future. So those who like the Note 10 Pro, you can wait for a while.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review: Verdict

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is mainly upgraded in terms of appearance, screen, performance, and charging power, while the camera system has been downgraded. But the price remains the same. I think Note 9 Pro and Note 10 Pro are more like different choices at the same price point, those who want performance and faster charging, go for the Note 10 Pro, while those who want better photos and video choose the Note 9 Pro. 

Which one will you choose? Let us know via a comment down below.

Xiaomi debuted the Redmi Note Note 10 series in India in March. The lineup for the country initially included three phones, namely Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. A fourth model called Redmi Note 10S was introduced last month. A little over two months from this series’ debut in India, Xiaomi has now hiked the price of the Redmi Note 10 Pro after the Redmi Note 10 in late April.

At the end of April, Xiaomi increased the price of all two storage variants of the Redmi Note 10 in India by ₹500. The cheapest handset in the Redmi Note 10 series now retails for ₹12,499 (4GB + 64GB) and ₹14,499 (6GB + 128GB) respectively.

Similarly, the company has now incremented the price of the Redmi Note 10 Pro by ₹500. But unlike the vanilla model, only the 6GB + 128GB variant of the Pro model gets the price hike.

For those who don’t know, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 6GB + 128GB made its debut in India for ₹16,999. But with the new change in the price, the device currently sells for ₹17,499. This new price is applicable to all three colors of the handset – Dark Night, Vintage Bronze, and Glacial Blue.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro (5G) launched a few days ago in China and it is quite different from the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global version) that was announced back in March.

Some of the key differences include support for 5G on the Chinese version as a result of the Dimensity 1100 whereas the global version has a Snapdragon 732G processor. It also has a 120Hz LCD screen with Gorilla Glass Victus protection while the global version comes with a 120Hz AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 5.

Xiaomi also ships the global version with a 108MP quad camera setup while the Chinese version has a 64MP triple camera setup. Another major difference is that the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G has a 5000mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging while the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global) has a 5020mAh battery with support for 33W fast wired charging.

As you can see, these are quite significant differences. Xiaomi is yet to say if the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G will get a global launch, nevertheless, we want to know which one of the two phones you prefer. Is it the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G or the Redmi Note 10 (Global version)?

The post Poll of The Week: Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G (China) or Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global)? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G was officially announced in China. Now, the company has just shared a new video on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, that showcases the device being put through a series of torture tests.

The video was shared by the brand’s product head, Wang Thomas, and had the newly launched device undergoing various stress tests. In the video, the device was put through a long sequence of torture tests and still managed to remain unharmed. The Chinese tech giant had the Note 10 Pro 5G go through a drop test on a hard surface. After this, it was also placed in a centrifuge machine and spun along with some small plastic materials as well.

Furthermore, the company also subjected the device to a series of shots with walnuts and even a machine drilling. One of the odd tests that Xiaomi had the device undergo is being put into a mashing machine along with some rocks. For those unaware, the device sports Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus that covers the display. The video also showcases the bend resistance and durability of the Note 10 Pro’s aluminosilicate glass, which even went through a scratch test as well.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is currently the top model in the Redmi Note line. The mid-range phone is among the handful of devices with a 108MP camera, and according to DxOMark’s review, it performs well for a budget phone. It even ranks above more expensive devices such as the iPhone SE (2020), the Zenfone 6, and the Galaxy Z Flip.

With an overall score of 106 points, the Redmi Note 10 Pro takes the 72nd spot on DxOMark’s Global Ranking. However, on its Advanced Ranking ($200 – $399), it takes the 3rd spot.

The score is broken down into 111 points for photo, 52 points for zoom, and 95 points for video. That low zoom score should not be surprising since the phone doesn’t have a proper telephoto camera. DxOMark praises the phone’s details in close-up outdoor portraits, its accurate video exposure, accurate depth estimation and blur gradient in portraits, and its control of noise in videos.

For its cons, the quad-camera phone suffers from clipping in high dynamic range stills, ghosting in stills with motion, limited video dynamic range, low detail in zoom shots, and a green color cast in outdoor photos.

DxOMark says that the 108MP main camera captures good images so far the lighting is good and there isn’t too much dynamic range. For videos, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is said to even surpass the Exynos version of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus.

Last week, Xiaomi started rolling out MIUI 12.5 update for Redmi Note 10 Pro/Pro Max Mi Pilot Testers in India. Now, this update is available for the general public as well. That’s not all, the MIUI 12.5 stable update has been also released for other regional variants of the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro Max sold in India is actually known as the Redmi Note 10 Pro in other markets. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 10 Pro available in India is basically the same device with a 64MP main camera instead of a 108MP sensor. All three phones run identical software. However, there are multiple regional MIUI builds for them. 

These smartphones debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. But now, they have begun to receive MIUI 12.5 update with the following build numbers.

• Global – V12.5.1.0.RKFMIXM
• India – V12.5.1.0.RKFINXM
• EU – V12.5.1.0.RKFEUXM

As you can see from the list above, the MIUI 12.5 stable update for the Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) is currently live for the Global, Indian, and European variants. The update should be available for other remaining variants in the coming days.

Having said that, it is worth noting that even for the above-mentioned three regional variants, the MIUI 12.5 update is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it may take some time to reach all the units.

The post Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) MIUI 12.5 stable update released appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India in March. These smartphones debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. Yesterday, reports started pouring in that the duo has begun to receive the MIUI 12.5 update in the country. But unfortunately, that’s not the case.

A few weeks back, Xiaomi recruited testers for MIUI 12.5 in global markets. The company calls these testers ‘Mi Pilot Testers’. The Chinese smartphone maker recruits new ‘Pilot Testers’ every now and then as it no longer releases MIUI Global Beta builds.

For those unaware, up until mid-2019, Xiaomi used to release weekly MIUI Global Beta builds. But right now, these weekly builds are limited to China.

Hence, the only way to experience new MIUI features officially before anyone in international markets is to enroll in the Mi Pilot testing program. These testers receive exclusive builds that can be only installed on their registered Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO smartphone with their ‘Mi Account’ logged in.

Others can install these builds unofficially. Interested users will need to unlock their phone’s bootloader and install a custom recovery for this purpose. Although this does not void warranty, we advise you not to follow this if you don’t know what you are doing.

Coming back to the topic, the MIUI 12.5 build (V12.5.1.0.RKFINXM) that has been released for the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max right now in India is solely for ‘Mi Pilot Testers’. In simpler words, the update is not available for the general public.

We are not sure when Xiaomi will be releasing MIUI 12.5 for these phones. But whenever the company does, it will be rolled out in batches as ‘Stable Beta’ (limited rollout), followed by ‘Stable’ (final release) to everyone.

The Mi 11 Lite is the cheapest phone in the Mi 11 series. This phone which combines great specs and an impressive design is already making its way across different markets, and Nigeria is the latest to get it.

According to a tweet by the official Xiaomi Nigeria account, the Mi 11 Lite (4G) is already available in the country. The phone is available in a single configuration – 8GB RAM + 128GB of storage – and is priced at ₦146,000 (~$355). Unfortunately, there is no mention of where you can purchase it.

That price tag is higher than that of the Redmi Note 10 Pro, another Xiaomi (read Redmi) phone with similar specs that launched in the country early last month for ₦135,000 (~$329). When compared, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is the better buy.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro also has an FHD+ AMOLED display but with a 120Hz refresh rate that is higher than the Mi 11 Lite’s 90Hz refresh rate. The Mi 11 Lite has a smaller screen so you get a higher pixel density but both can display 1 billion colors and have Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The Mi 11 Lite and Redmi Note 10 Pro are powered by the same Snapdragon 732G processor, have the same 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the same 16MP camera. However, you get a 108MP quad camera on the Redmi Note 10 Pro while the Mi 11 Lite has a 64MP triple rear camera. Another difference is that while they both have support for storage expansion, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a dedicated MicroSD card slot, but for the Mi 11 Lite, it is a shared SIM slot.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro wins again with a bigger 5020mAh battery as against the Mi 11 Lite’s 4250mAh battery capacity (33W fast charging is available on both devices). It also has an audio jack. The two phones run MIUI 12 based on Android 11 out of the box.

Which will you be getting, the Mi 11 Lite or the Redmi Note 10 Pro?

Xiaomi Redmi Note series of devices are popular in most of the markets they get released. A recent example would be the 500 Crore INR($68 million)sales of the Redmi Note 10 series in India within two weeks. Similarly, the Note devices are also popular in the custom ROM development community. Accordingly, the LineageOS 18.1 (Unofficial) custom ROM is now available for the Redmi Note 10 Pro / Pro Max devices.

Xiaomi generally helps developers by releasing the kernel source code of its device as soon as it gets launched. Similarly, it did for the Redmi Note 10 Pro series last month and as a result, we now have the LineageOS 18.1 for Redmi Note 10 Pro and Note 10 Pro Max.

It’s worth noting that LineageOS 18.1 recently went official but the ROM build for the Redmi Note 10 Pro / Pro Max is currently unofficial. This means, the builds are initial and aren’t maintained by someone from the official ROM development team.

However, the ROM is open-source and some of the other developers are bound to take advantage of it and support devices unofficially. Anyway, the LineageOS 18.1 based on Android 11 builds for both Redmi Note 10 Pro and Note 10 Pro Max seem to be working fine except for a few bugs.

All the essentials like the boot, Wi-Fi, Calls, SMS, Mobile Data, VoWifi, Camera, Audio, and others are working as per XDA Senior Member grewal09. However, the build seems to have issues in double-tap to wake and SELinux is set to permissive so keep that in mind.

As we have reported in the kernel source article, the devices have similar specs, so the custom ROM build is unified for both the Global and Indian versions. Therefore, you will have to flash the respective firmware and vendor of your regions(eg. EEA/ India) to avoid fatal problems.

You can refer to the XDA community forum post to find the detailed instructions for flashing the custom ROM.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro / Max runs Android 11 OS out of the box but they don’t have the latest MIUI 12.5. However, they are present on Xiaomi’s official list of eligible devices scheduled to get the update.

The Redmi Note 10 series has seen great success in India. In just the first two weeks of the lineup beginning sales, the company managed to cross sales worth 500 Crore INR (roughly 68 million US Dollars).

The Chinese tech giant made the announcement regarding the explosive sales of its Note 10, Note 10 Pro, and Note 10 Pro Max. Sneha Tainwala, Business Head of the company’s Indian unit stated that “With each Redmi Note device, we have taken a step forward to bring innovation for everyone.
