    I've been using the Note 10S since almost a week. The phone is pretty good design wise, it's slim and doesn't feel bulky in hand. Pretty easy to use single handedly. The screen being AMOLED is pleasing to look at, with punchy colours. Although it is not a high refresh rate display, it is nice thanks to AMOLED Panel. Content consumption, gaming looks nice and brightness indoor or outdoors is very good. Cameras are satisfactory, but the selfie needs some improvements. Stereo speakers sound good and plenty loud. Battery backup is good enough for my usage and the provided 33W Charger works wonderfully, the charging time is around 60 or 70 minutes for a full charge. Performance wise it is snappy for day to day usage. I am mainly using this phone as a gaming phone to play BGMI. Able to play in 60 fps but with frame drops here and there and especially when screen recording is turned on. But as a casual gamer, performance is fine I guess. MediaTek G95 is a pretty good processor, the GPU is powerful. But it does get warm quickly. So I suggest if you are heavily gaming on this phone, especially battle royale games do reduce the graphics quality using GFX Tool then there won't be much load on the SoC and heating won't be an issue. Also remove the back cover while charging and gaming. The vibrations on this phone is really good. You can feel the haptic feedback for sure. Maybe MIUI 12.5 isn't much optimized I think otherwise G95 is a capable Processor.

        I have just bought my new Redmi Note 10s. I was attracted by this phone because it is in trend these days. But I am upset to buy this phone because of the problems and issues I encounter in using it. When I am browsing on Google for example, the screen suddenly flickers and it never stops, and often times when I go on back menu, the screen is all in black. I have just bought this phone last month. I am really upset. Does anyone who have Redmi Note series phones have the same problem as mine? Is there any ways to fix the screen flickering problem? I would be grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

                Has anyone tryed to use an alternative Camera App like Open Camera. Are the Fotos and videos using Open Camera better?

                    Do you experience flickering screen in your unit, while using google?

                      I believe the reason why the cameras suck is because of the SoC. Helio P and G series have relatively bad ISP's which makes almost all of their photos really blotchy and oversharpened. Traces of these blotchy noisy photos also show in devices like realme 3, realme 6, redmi note 8 pro and so on all of them having Helio P60 and Helio G90T series respectively

                        Only 2 days of use. Mine I bought on AliExpress. Global Version. 6 RAM 64 ROM. Issue that is making me very angry. The fingerprint sensor on side button. Something is really bad about it... The screen stuck looked and the response for the fingerprint takes like 4 minutes to open... It's unacceptable. Hate this. Please if someone with same issue find a solution before I return this phone, share here... I Hope

                          If anyone have special weakness in photography s/he shouldn’t buy this phone. I am so hopeless with my experience.

                            It is a very nice phone.
                            It is my best phone over all my old phones
                            I will give 5/5 rating for this.

                              trash phone, very regret after bought, just a normal surfing app the device already heating, don't even mention about gaming, it will show you overheating warning, mi company just put what even junk they got leftover to produce a phone and maybe doesn't even fix the bugs.

                              Lesson learned, DO NOT BUY ANY MEDIATEK CPU in the future.

                                It seems that quite a few phones that have OV64B camera sensor share same problems with image overprocessing, which include Realme 8, Redmi Note 10s (noticed by GSMArena) as well as Moto G100 (which I have). I don't know what the reason could be.
