Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

This Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is the professional brother of the Redmi Note 10 and therefore has a few extras. A smoother 120Hz screen, a sharper 108MP camera and a slightly more powerful processor to name a few. However, there are also things it lacks. What exactly and whether that's a bad thing we'll explain here.

Professional display

The biggest eye-catcher of the Redmi Note 10 Pro is its 6.67-inch screen. It is an AMOLED panel which is known for its colorful display and high contrast values. The peak brightness is 1200 nits, which makes it easy to read even in full daylight. The FHD+ resolution ensures sharp images and the panel refreshes 120 times every second (120Hz). This makes animations look extra fluid. Xiaomi calls the screen a DotDisplay, which is a reference to the small hole at the top. This is for the 16 megapixel selfie camera. Yet this is not the main camera of the Note 10 Pro, far from it.

Brings the Pixel War to budget country

In fact, we find those on the back. The most important one is the 108MP camera. That one is also accentuated by a silver ring. The main camera features an f/1.9 wide-angle lens. 9 pixels are combined into 1 superpixel so you actually shoot 12MP photos. Pixel binning is called that and it increases the light sensitivity. As a result, the Note 10 Pro has a better night mode that lets you shoot brighter photos with more detail at night. Below the main camera is a 5MP telemacro camera for 2x macro zoom, a 2MP depth camera for portraits, and at the bottom is an 8MP camera with ultra-wide-angle lens. This allows you to capture even more in images, up to 118 degrees. Zooming is mainly done with the 108MP large sensor; digitally, in other words. Zooming with the telemacro camera is only meant to enlarge images from very close by.
