About the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G
Despite the shared name, the Redmi Note 10 5G is a different phone from the standard Redmi Note 10 rather than a 5G version of it, and the trade-offs are worth understanding before you buy. Xiaomi's priority here was getting 5G into the cheapest possible handset, so the AMOLED panel used elsewhere in the range is replaced by a larger 6.5-inch LCD. That sounds like a downgrade, and for contrast and black levels it is, but Xiaomi compensated by running it at 90Hz, so day-to-day scrolling actually feels smoother than on its AMOLED siblings. MediaTek's Dimensity 700 handles 5G duties efficiently and copes well with everyday apps, though it is not a gaming chip. The 5,000mAh battery is dependable, but charging drops to 18W, so it is markedly slower to refill than the 33W models in the same family. The 48MP main camera is fine in daylight and the two 2MP support sensors contribute almost nothing. As a used buy today it is dated software-wise, but it remains one of the cheapest routes to a 90Hz 5G phone.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G Specifications
Spec Scores
£200-£399 Phones · 198 phones
- Dimensity 700
- Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.5 inches
- 1080 x 2400 pixels
- IPS, 90Hz, 500 nits peak
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Single camera setup
- 48 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
- 8 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
- 5,000 mAh
- 18W wired
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
