Xiaomi Redmi 10 2022

The Xiaomi Redmi 10 2022 is a good value Android smartphone with a smooth 90Hz screen, high 50MP camera and with regular Android updates. What you get out of all that in practice, we are happy to explain to you here.

Difference from Redmi 10 2021

This Redmi 10 2022 succeeds the 2021 Redmi 10 which was a fairly popular device. Comparing the two phones, something immediately stands out. Namely, there is virtually nothing different about the two. They have the same smooth 90Hz screen, the same AI Quad camera with 50MP, the same spacious 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging and the same MediaTek Helio G88 processor. The only differences we could find is that the model with 6GB/128GB of RAM/storage is gone. Instead, you now always get 4GB of RAM memory (RAM). And NFC has come, allowing you to read designated tags or pay wirelessly.

Battery to make friends with

What remains is a large battery of no less than 5000 mAh with 18W fast charging. The battery is additionally saved by reducing the screen refresh rate from 90 to 45Hz. For example, when looking at text. And if you are watching a video then the Redmi 10 2022 can set the screen to 60Hz. Watching video is recommended anyway thanks to the stereo speakers. Sound sounds like it should with this. If saving battery power is not your thing then you can charge other phones with the Redmi 10 2022. That goes with a maximum of 9W so it is not lightning fast but you will make friends with it.

Quad camera with AI offers many choices

Other pluses of this Redmi 10 (2022) are the infrared transmitter on top, useful for controlling your TV for example, the 3.5mm jack to plug in wired headphones and the fingerprint scanner on the side. Handy for quick and secure access. Shoot photos on the go with the 50MP main camera with AI functionality. This automatically chooses the best settings for the best results. Or you shoot photos with the 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Thanks to the 120° viewing angle, you capture entire landscapes or vistas. Or you choose the 2MP macro camera for close-ups. And then there's a fourth camera; a 2MP depth camera for blurring backgrounds. So plenty of choice. It's a shame somewhere that you can't record 4K video. That can only go up to a maximum of Full HD (1080p).
