Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G

The Chinese Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G upgrades to a MediaTek Dimensity 1100 SoC, which is built on a 6nm process and features a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU. It also packs up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The flagship-grade Dimensity 1100 chip can be found inside the Realme Q3 Pro, Vivo S9, and Vivo X60t as well.

The Note 10 Pro 5G has a 6.6-inch FHD+ LCD with 120Hz refresh and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which we rarely see on non-flagship devices. With regard to scratches, Gorilla Glass Victus is said to offer twice the level of scratch resistance versus Gorilla Glass 5 and should be four times as scratch-resistant as its competitors.

Redmi Note 10 5G

The Chinese Note 10 5G is similar to its international counterpart, except it has dual rear-facing cameras and no dedicated macro shooter to make it even more affordable than the latter, which starts at $200 (P9,627). The 48-megapixel main unit is joined by a 2-megapixel sensor for adding bokeh to portrait shots.

Elsewhere, this version is pretty much identical to the global Note 10 5G. There’s an 8-megapixel camera for selfies. The 6.5-inch LCD display still comes with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate for a smoother and more responsive user experience.
