Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro long-term review

27 August 2021


Sort by:

From Sri Lanka - I got a Redmi Note 10 pro (global) with MIUI 12.5.4.0 out of the box this month. Updated to 12.5.9.0 & now have 13.0.4.0 stable update in my doorstep. I used to own Samsung Note1 (a little time) POCO M3 (4/64 - Deadboot - cash refund) & currently, Samsung Note 3 (android 5, then custom 10.0) for over 6 years (still has its pride). I'm not a gamer neither a heavy social media user. But I have put these phones in their maximum duty for more than 1000 times. Honestly, this Redmi has satisfied me in everybit & held its own among note 3 & some flagship level smartphones my friends own. (like iPhone7+, 13 some thing). Every phones has bugs of its own, even silver spooned iPhones. Hense this Redmi is worth every coin spent for it.

Also, he said I'm no gamer I can't speak of hearing issues. Well I'm not a gamer either, and I still tested this device on demanding games to see how it performs. It took me 2 hours. This definitely can fit in a so called long term review.

            CJ, 05 Nov 2021Judging by all these comments, it seems that you all gamers... moreExactly 💯what you said about samsung. Got a Samsung galaxy A50 18 months ago now its completely gaga. That's why am thinking of a xiaomi note 9pro. The Samsung gave me the screen of death for no apparent reason. Tried everything and it will not work
            Use to think Samsung was the mother of all phones now I know they are shit!

                  2. Ah yes, "just" get a phone that's $1000+ and is not officially sold in like 75% of countries.

For example, no notification of a call being recorded is necessary in Florida. Especially mobile phones because there is no encryption. No encryption means no reasonable expectation of privacy.

                            Good photos are better than poor photos, poor photos are better than no photos.

                            I need macro photos. They don't need to be great, but they need to usefully show small details that can't be resolved with normal smartphone cameras.

                            Currently, I use a Sirui macro lens with a Moment smartphone case. Good and solid, and more than adequate results.

                            I came and read this review to see if this phone would meet my macro needs. Nothing else needs to be wonderful, since it will not replace my Pixel 6 Pro in everyday use.

                            But what do I discover? You couldn't be bothered to report on the macro capability, the primary standout feature of this phone.

                            Why? Because the cool kids have decided that if the images don't meet their artistic sensibilities, then the phone should not have that camera at all.

                            Smartphones aren't just toys for the young and restless. Some of us use them as tools. To accomplish meaningful tasks. We don't appreciate being told that the tool we need isn't cool enough, so you won't tell us how well they'll do the job we need. Rather, you'll try to get the manufacturers to stop including macro, so we'll have to lug an extra camera-type camera around or keep carrying accessory lenses. (Both of which are frequently poorer solutions because they aren't thin like a smartphone.)

                            Please, grow up. Take some responsibility for your jobs as reviewers, and review all the features, not just the ones accepted by the cool kids.

                                Judging by all these comments, it seems that you all gamers and use the phone excessively. By the looks of it for a person using it for day to day tasks wont have any difficulty. I will never use Samsung again went through 4 of their devices in 6 months, sensor issue, LCD issues, battery issues, speaker issues and the list goes on. I do not game I am a ticktok watcher and a facebook scroller, so now and then I will watch a youtube movie, before you all jump on the band wagon about Samsung. In all honesty show me a device that will not give you hassels. Heuwai was my go to device but they only last 6 to 9 months before completely giving in.
