I've been using this phone just about 2/3 weeks (will add here if I found something striking in the coming days ;-) ). So, my review will be based on that short period of time. My last phone was Redmi note 4 which was working fine over three & half years and suddenly the battery of Redmi Note 4 working poorly. Means from 40% to zero within moment and hence that phone was far from usable. Therefore I bought this after some research . So though my last phone is quite old model specially where the technology is rapidly evolving, still I try to compare few things with Redmi Note 4 with Note 10 (as some of the features I found is not as good in this newer version of Redmi note that was pretty efficient in the older version)
First of all I'm not a gamer and in Great Indian sale from Amazon, I got this phone just over 15k (clubbing with my credit card cashback offer). Though 2 week is very short period, however I can say around 15k it's one of the best.The only difference between Redmi note 10 pro & Redmi note 10 pro max is the camera. And again I'm an old fashioned person who still respect DSLR than a mobile phone , so only for 108 MP-I prefer not to spend extra 3k (approx.).
Still for the photo lover, I am attaching a photo that I took with Redmi note 10 pro in night mode, so people can see the quality by themselves.
Performance is decent. However I saw for a long call, screen sometimes suddenly become black and for calls like customer care where in between you may need to use keypad , it's irritating.
Battery : with my above average internet usage e.g. WhatsApp, Twitter etc. last around 24 hours.
Please note 2 points as depicted below:
1) I switch off the GPS once, when it not needed.
2) My blue-tooth generally on as I need to use my wireless earbud.
Now I'm disappointed about couple of things when I am comparing a MAR21 launch with very old model Redmi note 4.
1. When charging (though it takes around 2 hours even in so called fast charging mode), the phone becomes quite hot. My Redmi Note 4 till today is less than 50% hot, compared to this new model and that also (without the so called fast charging feature) been fully charged in less than 2 hours.
2. For the same Vodafone sim, which I pulled out from my old Redmi note 4;I suddenly found more blind places in my locality. The internet signal which may be slow for Note 4, but simply not working for Redmi Note 10 pro. (Like inside many shop in the same locality now my GPAY is not working which worked with some slowness in the older model).
3. In the same Realme earbud , sometimes I saw the blue-tooth connectivity is having the issue in this model which was never in Redmi Note 4.
So my conclusion: if you are like me, who feel uncomfortable for carrying really costly devices in their pocket, and if your budget is around 15/16k, you can use it.
If I get the same phone in 20k, I'd give 3 star(average) - whereas in 15k price range, I'll comfortably rate above average!
