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.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G worth buying?
The Redmi Note 10 5G is worth buying if you want cheap 5G and a 90Hz screen and you can accept an LCD panel rather than AMOLED. It launched in 2021 and no longer receives Android or security updates, so it suits a backup or budget second phone better than a long-term main device. Battery life remains its strongest everyday quality.
Does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G support 5G in the UK?
Yes. The MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset includes a 5G modem, so the phone connects to 5G networks as well as 4G LTE. It was one of the most affordable 5G handsets available when it launched.
Does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G have an AMOLED screen?
No. It uses a 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel rather than the AMOLED used on the Redmi Note 10 and Note 10S. In exchange it runs at 90Hz instead of 60Hz, so motion looks smoother even though contrast and black levels are weaker.
How long does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G battery last?
The 5,000mAh battery paired with the efficient Dimensity 700 chip comfortably handles a full day of mixed use, and lighter users can stretch it further. Charging is limited to 18W, which is slower than the 33W offered by the 4G models in the same range, so expect a longer wait at the plug.
Is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G camera good?
The 48MP main camera takes acceptable, reasonably detailed photos in good light, which is what you should expect at this price. There is no ultrawide lens, only 2MP macro and depth sensors that add little. Low-light shots are noisy and soft.
How does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G compare to the Redmi Note 10S?
The Note 10 5G is the one to pick if 5G and a 90Hz refresh rate matter most, since the Note 10S is 4G only and stays at 60Hz. The Note 10S wins on screen quality with a 6.43-inch AMOLED, a better 64MP main camera with an ultrawide lens, faster 33W charging and stereo speakers. Choose the 5G model for connectivity and smoothness, the 10S for image quality and audio.

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. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

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.
