If it's like they say on arena, I mean just 260EUR for those specs, then yes it looks very nice on paper.

I play 2-3h of games per day (plus other things) and still manage to get through the whole day with one charge.
As for charging, the phone charges in about 50 minutes (plus-minus, depending at which battery level I put it on charger). So, is like they said officially.

If the Redmi Note 10 Pro release a 5g capable version of the phone with a better processor (at least Snapdragon 865 levels) only then will it be a contender for the top place.

I know that those issues were found on previous MiUi versions. At least this is what I saw on YouTube.
As for 5G, I am somewhere in Central Europe and I am on T-Mobile carrier. Normally my phone displays 5G in the upper right corner, but I don't think I have really 5G speeds where I live. But I didn't buy it for this purpose anyway. I am most of the time on WiFi.

Forgot to add yes the phone heats up when charging a bit but it's as hot as my oneplus 7t pro while charging too. So can't complain not as if it's hotter.

In one w... moreBloatware can be removed there are 2 adb tools in xda forum 1 is free the other you can use basic (free) or one tap(pay) and list of what to remove. I use 2nd tool as it's easier and can backup what you remove but since I don't intent to pay I use the list of what to uninstall.
I don't know anything about sunlight mode but I can tell you poco f3 is dark than my old oneplus 7t pro but watching YouTube poco wins hands down.
My issue weirdly is whatapps sometimes ppl record voice sent to me (rarely) 2 times it happen 1-2 sec will shut down the voice playback and turn off the screen. I since played with whatsapp permissions and disable battery optimization it rarely happens now.
Other than 3rd party launchers can't use full gestures due to Android 11 (according to feedback developer won't fix) I don't have any issue. Again I repeat I have no such issue 3rd party launchers with nova on Android 11 in my old oneplus. I am sure if more ppl complains they xiaomi can fix it

Good phone if you value specs over anything else.
In one week of usage things I found:
-the phone heats up when charging (on the upper part around the cameras area). More than other past phones that I owned with 30W chargers (Realme 6, Poco X3 NFC) and even 65W chargers (One Plus 8T, Realme 7 Pro). I do not use my phone while charging.
-sometimes during video calls (through Signal) the screen turns black. I can hear the other person talking, but I can't see anything. The call must be stopped and reinitiated (by the other person).
-the scrolling through internet pages doesn't work sometimes. I just move my finger on screen and nothing happens (for couple of seconds, then it's ok). I resolve this usually by restarting the phone.
-screen brightness in normal usage, is not like they declare at all (1300 nits is a joke). In direct sun light and even with "sunlight mode" turn on, the screen is less visible than my iPhone Xr (which has 625 nits). The screen is ok, but it certainly isn't 1300 nits. Maybe in laboratory conditions or something, they achieved that number.
-the punch hole has a silver ring around it. And it is visible (more visible than a standard punch hole). I don't know why Poco did this. And sadly this is a hardware issue, it can't be corrected in time.
-there is still a lot of bloatware on the phone (and it can't be uninstalled or disabled). Luckily there aren't so many ads (not so many as on my previous global version Poco X3 NFC; I don't know why is this, because I didn't manually turned them off or something).
I am on 12.0.5.0 MiUi version and April security patch (Europe country).
The other things about the phone are ok. Chip is very powerful, it can handle demanding games without any issues (and doesn't heats up). Display is very nice for watching movies and videos (better than an LCD for sure). 120Hz refresh rate is very nice, especially if I compare it to my 60Hz iPhone Xr. Speakers are also very nice and crisp (no issues here).
I pay for the phone 350EUR (global version, 6Gb & 128Gb model). At this price point, if you want the best specs, you can't find something better (at least in Europe).
