      This phone can range anywhere from good to excellent depending on how you use it.

      1. Want to stay with stock MIUI in a region where they serve ads (like India) without any tweaking? Prepare to have a 5/10 experience in performance and general irritation and a 9/10 experience in camera and media consumption. So overall, 7/10.

      2. Prepared to debloat stock apps and adware through adb commands? Prepare to get a 7/10 in performance and a 9/10 in camera, media, battery. Overall, it elevates it to an 8/10.

      3. Prepared to unlock your bootloader, flash an AOSP custom ROM and constantly stay updated on safetynet passing, installing the best available ANX camera and GCam? Prepare to get a 9/10 in performance, Pixel like smoothness, screen, battery life and every day usage, and maybe an 8.5 in camera (stock MIUI might have a few more optimizations).

      I am on stage 3 as of now, and if you have the time for custom ROMs, I can assure you - this phone would be a significantly better purchase than anything up to 35k in price.

      So, to summarize, would I recommend my Mom or Dad or someone super busy who needs a phone to just work out of the box get it? No way. I say, stick to a Moto on a low budget, or a Samsung or OnePlus if you can spend more.

      But for power users who have time to spare, the features you get on this phone, elevated by a quality AOSP ROM makes it the best 250 dollars (or 19k) you can spend on a phone in 2021.

                Anonymous, 05 Sep 2021Hello, I have noticed two vertical lines in the middle of m... moreMine's got something similar too. It's a bit of a lottery with AMOLED screens—grey can be a tricky colour to display evenly seeing as each pixel produces its own light. It shouldn't affect your everyday usage because you'll probably only notice it in very dark ambient lighting, and only on a specific shade of grey. You can try get a replacement, but that won't guarantee a fix. Xiaomi's probably had to make compromises with things like quality control as a means of getting the price down. Other brands might be a little better, but if you're happy with the rest of the phone and the issue doesn't bother you all that much, I'd just stick with it for now.

                  Murugan, 04 Sep 2021It doesn't have NFC I think it depends on the region you buy it from. Some markets will, some won't.

                            AresinUAE, 31 Aug 2021Camera is a little bit overhyped, shots have a lot of noise... moreAll smartphone cameras seem over hyped. In poor lighting conditions, they all perform poorly. So different from the standard professional cameras. Fast charging is forgivable for the "small" battery size, of only 5020 mAh. There are heavier, bulkier smartphones for those who want man size units.
                            Previously did buy the top line of Samsung smartphones. They did not have 3.5 mm audio hardware (speaker, microphone, etc), triple slot for external cards, nor 105 megapixel main camera.
                            On all our Android devices, we use AdShield blocker, "1dm+" web browser, Microsoft Launcher, Open Camera, & Google Gboard. Having 8 GB of main memory is another fringe benefit on my Redmi Note 10 Pro. Want to upscale to a more expensive smartphone, but none exist, ATM.

                              Jack, 31 Aug 2021I own this phone. The display is not as good as Samsung ph... moreAndroid it's much better than Apple, in this regard. OEM hardware manufacturers are not that skilled in software development, as you may know. Google GBOARD had much better swipe & voice input, with word prediction spelling & grammar correction, and custom dictionaries.
                              OPEN CAMERA can sometimes be better, with electronic image stabilization & electronic zoom on all cameras, front & back. Microsoft Launcher is better for my use than my second favorite, Nova Launcher. All these necessary improvements are unknown to Apple users. So don't tell them, otherwise they might leave Apple.

                                Agree with the reviewer. Comments published so far disagree with both the reviewer & myself. Latest ROM version is 12.5.4 dated August 1st. Camera has inbuilt 5x zoom on the main 105 megapixel camera. Using Open Camera, inbuilt electronic image stabilization is possible on all cameras, as well as continuous electronic zoom.
                                Gboard keyboard allows accurate voice typing & swipe typing, with grammar & spelling correction & prediction. Custom dictionaries, translations are also possible.
                                My version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro has 8 MB of main memory. Unique for all smartphones, it also has triple card slots: two SIM cards and one mSD card.
                                The hardened glass screen protector is necessary, as well as a custom 3rd party external case. Adding non slip self adhesive tape to the sides, used on shower floors, adds non slip gripping. The magnetic 3rd party charging cable allows very easy charging. Rapid charging means that my QI remote charging add on card was not needed.
