Redmi Note 10 series is officially a go in India and let’s just say, Xiaomi managed to surprise—even silence—even some of its harshest critics with what it had in shop for D-day. The line-up spawns 3 models, Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 with costs beginning as low as Rs 11,999 going all the way to Rs 21,999.
The Redmi Note has been Xiaomi’s default ‘best-seller’ in India for a though now and with the Redmi Note 10 series, the brand has raised the bar even greater for rivals. There are some significant upgrades ranging from a new style to bumped up show and core hardware, like revamped cameras—relative to the Note 9 series from final year. Here’s a fast look at all the significant variations in between the Note 10, Note 10 Pro, and Note 10 Pro Max.
- The Note 10 series phones come with a new ‘frosted glass’ back. Xiaomi calls it ‘evol’ style. All the 3 phones are sleeker—with the Note 10 also getting smaller—than their predecessor phones. They look and really feel substantially more premium as well. Speaking of dimensions, at 8.1mm and 192g, the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is .7mm thinner and 16g lighter than Redmi Note 9 Pro Max regardless of all the further hardware. By extension, this applies to the Note 10 Pro ass effectively because it is the very same phone general. The Note 10 measures 8.3mm and weighs in at 178.8g.
- There are variations in colourways. The Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro come in Vintage Bronze, Glacial Blue, and Dark Night, though the Note 10 comes in Aqua Green, Shadow Black, and Frost White.
- The camera housing in the Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro is raised which implies that there is ‘prominent’ camera bump in these phones though in the Note 10, the cameras sit comparatively flush with the body.
- All the 3 phones come with a side-mounted fingerprint reader that doubles as a fast ‘double tap’ shortcut button, dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res audio assistance, IP52 splash resistance, IR blaster, Z-axis vibration motor, and 3.5mm audio jack. Only the Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro get a 360-degree ambient light sensor as effectively.
- The Note 10 has a 6.43-inch (FHD+) show, which is smaller sized than the Note 9, but Xiaomi has bumped up the panel to a ‘brighter Super AMOLED’ that can—at least in theory—peak 1100nits. The panel also supports one hundred % DCI-P3 colour gamut. Xiaomi is maintaining more premium attributes like 120Hz refresh price and HDR 10-assistance for the ‘pro’ models which is understandable thinking of the value of the Note 10. The refresh price caps at standard 60Hz in the Note 10. Also, it has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection (Note 10 Pro Max/Note 10 Pro have Gorilla Glass 5). The Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro come with a larger 6.67-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED show and 1200nits peak brightness.
- All the 3 phones come with a punch hole reduce-out—the Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro come with—2.96mm—what Xiaomi says is the smallest for any Redmi Note to date.
- The Note 10 Pro Max and Note 10 Pro have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor (8-core, 8nm) paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, up to 128GB UFS2.2 storage (non-expandable) and dual-layer graphite cooling.

This is paired with up to 6GB LPDDR4X RAM, up to 128GB USF2.2 storage (non-expandable), and dual-layer graphite cooling. All the 3 phones run Android 11-based MIUI 12 out-of-the-box and will be eligible for MIUI 12.5, the next version of MIUI that comes with a revamped technique UI, and more uninstallable technique apps.
- The Note 10 Pro Max is Xiaomi’s fourth phone (in India) to come with a ‘whopping’ 108MP major camera (Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor). There are 3 other cameras, which are basically very same as the ones on the Note 9 Pro Max with some tweaks. There is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 118-degree field-of-view, 5MP ‘telemacro’ (for 2x zoom), and a further 2MP depth camera for portrait photography. The Note 10 Pro swaps the 108MP camera with a 64MP shooter (Samsung ISOCELL GW3 sensor) maintaining the Note 10 Pro’s other 3 cameras as is. The Note 10 has a quad-cam setup with a 48MP major (Sony IMX582 sensor), 8MP ultra-wide-angle, and two 2MP cameras, one for depth and a further for macros—same as the Note 9.
