Xiaomi has a new weapon in the entry level class, the Redmi 10. You could say that this is a comfortable cellphone in our opinion for several main reasons.
In this paper, we will discuss in terms of first impressions, design, comfort to hold to experience in playing games. Let's start discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 phone.
Here's a review of Xiaomi Redmi 10 in a few points. The unit we reviewed has the highest variant, which is 6GB/128GB.
Design
The first impression of holding the Xiaomi Redmi 10 is quite convincing and pleasant. The reason is that this phone already has a calm and fairly good design.
The gripping feel of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 also feels good with or without the built-in silicone case. Although it looks fat on the back because it accommodates a 5,000 mAh battery, we don't think it's too bothersome.
In this part of the body, we are only bothered by the writing around the camera module that reads, "50 MP Camera" and "AI-CAM Photoghrapy System". If removed will be more minimalist.
On the side edge of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 there is a fingerprint sensor that is fairly fast to read and pauses for a split second and then opens the screen automatically.
Other accessories on this side are dual sim and microSD slots, USB-C port, IR Blaster sensor and of course there is still a 3.5 mm audio jack hole.
Screen
Details of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 screen, namely a 6.5" FHD + LCD with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz wrapped in Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Xiaomi Redmi 10 screen is so relieved because the front camera is already punched in shape and is in the middle. In our opinion, the neat cut makes looks like a mid-range phone.
However, the most annoying part is here, when the brightness sensor is not working properly. So, the Xiaomi Redmi 10 screen often looks dim and does not increase the brightness when used even though the brightness setting has been set automatically.
Second, the viewing angle of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 screen is limited to a certain angle. So, when we look from the side or below, the image on the screen cannot be seen clearly.
Indeed, the Xiaomi Redmi 10 already supports a 90 Hz refresh rate. However, for more than a week of using this feature, the existence of this feature is still not optimal and often feels heavy in some moments.
Camera
Xiaomi Redmi 10 has a 50 MP camera array, 8 MP ultra wide, 2 MP macro, and 2 depth sensors. You could say 'nice to have' for all those modules.
Because, the results of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 photo are fairly ordinary. Because, even in adequate lighting in the room the photos can be said to be pale (when viewed from the cellphone screen) and in poor lighting, all the details are lost.
Performance
The gaming experience on the Xiaomi Redmi 10 is quite good, if it doesn't require high chip performance. For example, when we played Mobile Legends, after a few minutes the game lags, the phone temperature rises high, and the frame on the screen drops drastically.
So the MediaTek G88 SoC positioned for mid-range phones is still not reliable here. Note, the smoothness of playing games is also influenced by other factors, especially mobile connectivity.
Conclusion
Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi 10 is a comfortable phone. Affordable price, you are offered a lot of features although you have to tolerate some things.
Xiaomi Redmi 10 uses MIUI 12 OS based on Android 11. For the usual multitasking problems, this phone is more than reliable enough.
