TheFalseShepherd, 27 Aug 2021Note 10 Pro does not have a proximity sensor! It uses so ca... moreagree with you dear!i feel same too...

    i leave mine on 60hz all the time cause for the life of me i can't tell the damn difference between 120hz and 60hz and even at 60hz the battery is somewhat terrible for a phone with +5000mah battery
    the camera is great, the screen is awesome even tho i rarely watch movies or videos on my phone cause i've a laptop for that but its brightness is amazing cause i live in city that is sunny most of the year (even during winter)
    and the best of things, i managed to delete pretty much all the google apps (like ytb, chrome, google search and many other useless ones) unlike many other companies that allow you a damn thing (looking at you scammy)

        Having had this phone for nearly 6 months the proximity sensor is terrible! The above review doesn't really tell you how poor it is! When you place the phone to your ear/side of your face, it constantly clicks on the mute button. To say this is frustrating is an understatement. As mentioned, placing the phone between your ear and shoulder is a no go!

        Personally this is a massive issue for me. Also when on a call trying to get the screen to turn on can be a nightmare. If you need to press a number, hang up or use any of the screen functions then good luck!

        The delay on the screen sensor is appalling.

          Wait, where is the display issues? I loved this phone very much when it was launched. This could have been my phone if not for the display issues that I have read all over the internet back then. While my current phone is way superior compared to this RN10Pro because it's an ROG phone but I could have save a lot of money if I just bought this phone.

            Are all mid range phones reviewed while comparing them with flagships or is the reviewer that pessimistic? Felt like he was constantly comparing the phone but not giving any reference.

            Would have been good if he could compare the features with other good options in this segment.

              I am actually fan of usb port flap because it protects the port from dirt while in pocket

                The battery life is too short for a large battery phone.
                Speakers very loud and clear.
                Fast charging, good.
                Camera slow.
                Proximity sensor crazy. Very bad.

                  "The fingerprint sensor has been an issue for this reviewer, but do note that this has been true for all recent side-mounted scanners, and it seems like other people don't have the same problems."

                  I also had problems with side mounted fp scanners.
                  It is entirely upon the user. Most people register their thumbs.
                  In rear mounted and under the display fp scanners, your thumb is placed flush on the area which in turn provides easy recognition.
                  On side mounted ones, only part of your thumb makes contact.
                  Also curvature of thumb is slightly different from other fingers which means you have to place your thumb a little carefully unlike the other fp options to improve recognition

                      You guys haven't even tried macro, what kind of crappy journalism is this? The macro camera on this phone is probably the best in any phone. Alo, fingerprint sensor for me works 10/10 times, it's just perfectly fast and accurate. You got weird fingers, lol

                            "This is life with MIUI - updates come slowly, and you're almost guaranteed to never be on the current security patch level."

                            Dont know why you people are obsessed with updates...
                            If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it (update it)

                            I always wait a few months before upgrading to newer software, irrespective of the brand. New updates usually roll out with bugs. It's better to to wait, hear the response of majority of people who updated their OS, then decide whether to update or not.

                              During the entire review you mentioned Redmi note 10 Pro but it was actually the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max version.

                              Note 10 Pro gas a 64MP quad camera set up instead of the 108MP one.

                                  LG Superfan, 27 Aug 2021I'm not sure about Realme skin so I'm not conside... moreWell, I always liked stock Android thats why choses Moto and Asus. My last phone was LG G6 which got shut and never switched back ON (out of the blue) on August 12 so I didn't planned to buy a new phone so in emergency I had to buy Realme Narzo 30 (Mediatek G95 4G variant) and I have to say the UI is quite clean polished out of the box even icons follows pixel like material design pattern unlike Xiaomi phones. I would say this realme UI 2.0 is quite good and performs as it suppose to. And yes there were third party app pre-installed such as snapchat and booking.com etc which you gotta uninstall by yourself.

                                    22niro, 27 Aug 2021Check out the Nord 2 or Realme x7 proI'm not sure about Realme skin so I'm not considering Realme because of that and Nord 2 isn't officially available here AFAIK

                                      Anonymous, 27 Aug 2021Depends where you live. Motorola G60 (if you live in India)... moreNot sure about G60 I live in Pakistan but why I'm not considering Realme and Poco/Xiaomi/Redmi is cause of skin I keep hearing complain and issues with them and Samsung is way too expensive I also have option of Nova 7i which is one of the best mid range for the price but HMS is an issue to me

                                        For me I found that the battery life is better if you charge the phone with a 5w or 13w charger, the fast charger is better left for emergencies
