Even nice-to-haves, like the selfie camera and 4K video recording, perform very well at the phone’s price, instantly making it our favourite affordable camera phone. The Note 10 Pro also starts with 64GB storage, and has an SD slot, so tonnes of potential space for photos and videos, or you can pay extra for the 128GB version. Why oh why...

More unique is the provision of an IR blaster on the top edge of the phone, which enables you to use it as a remote control. This isn’t unusual for anyone familiar with Xiaomi’s previous work, but it does set the phone apart from the Realme 8 5G and the Oppo A54 5G. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G: display We can’t think of a more compromise-free budget phone than the Note 10 Pro, it really is that simple.

Living with it

You only have to look at the shared nomenclature of these three handsets to see why this might be. 5G modems are some of the most power-hungry components to be found in any modern smartphone. Available here. 1. Asuwish Phone Case for Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G with Tempered Glass Screen Protector Just like the aforementioned Oppo A54 5G and Realme 8 5G, the Redmi Note 10 5G goes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor rather than the more fashionable in-display method. We really don’t mind such an approach at this end of the market, where in-display methods are generally slow and unreliable. Available here. 5. Asuwish Compatible with Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G Wallet Case and Tempered Glass Screen Protector Third, on our list is the Asuwish Carbon Fiber Phone Case and tempered glass screen protector for the Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G. The protective case is made from the highest quality Soft and flexible material that provides an attractive covering while feeling smooth to the touch. The dual or multiple layer designs mean it is way easier for the cover to distribute the forces applied to it hence reducing its effect on the mobile itself.

In addition to its 108MP main camera, the Redmi Note 10 Pro features an 8MP ultra-wide lens for action-cam-a-like shots, and a 5MP macro camera, which, thanks to autofocus, isn’t a massive waste of space. There’s also a depth sensor for good measure.Fifth is the Asuwish wallet mobile cover and tempered glass screen protector which is the perfect fit for the Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G. The smart and sleek cover comes with a top of prime faux leather which gives a smoother and stronger grip on the phone. The flip case and 9H tempered glass screen protector are also great at protecting the screen from damage. The cover is currently available in 3 different colors with more possibly on the way. The best camera in the world can’t detract from the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s adverts. Yep. Ads for third-party apps pop up when you install a new app. They’re pretty gross, but you can turn them off. Nevertheless, to get away with such an eye-sore, the Note 10 Pro would have to be the best phone money can buy at its price, which, as you’ve probably gathered by now, it is. So, should I buy it? The fingerprint scanner, for example, is curved to match the rounded frame, and it feels considered; the stepped camera bump is also a clear sibling of that of the flagship Xiaomi Mi 11; the frame’s dual-texture has a buffed flat top, and high-gloss sides. Eight on this list is the CCSmall Glitter Sparkle case for the Xiaomi Redmi 10 5G. The case is made of soft, protective plastic to guard your phone against bumps and scratches. The case is then topped off by glitter bling and rhinestones to offer an edge of style and panache to the phone. The cover also has an extra ring slot that helps keep a secure grip on the phone while also allowing for magnetic abilities.
