the redmi 10 great white or this rather
that notifications bar or the usual google apps and widgets and all of that good stuff but also lots of miui 12 bonus bits including for instance the control panel completely shamelessly nicked off of ios but fast access to all
of your main toggles and everything else you need you've got face recognition support to back up this edge mounted
fingerprint sensor and it's reasonably nippy and seems to recognize me in even fairly dodgy lighting conditions that
edge mounted fingerprint sensor also works an absolute charm as you can see they're nice and nippy and responsive again even uh with fairly dry chapped fingers as mine are at the moment from sanitizing about a thousand times a day got lots of nifty gesture
controls as well for the fast load naps and the like one of my personal me ui favorite features is the video toolbox which allows you to for instance uh stream a youtube video with the screen
hibernate and so you can just listen to an audio book or a podcast that's on there but dun dun dun miui isn't all that in a bag of cheesy chips because there's plenty of annoying little
irritations such as the sheer amount of crap where you get shoved on every single xiaomi smartphone block puzzle
game be gone jules blast soggy right off tile fun the
just piss off all right and on and on it goes tick tock and all this other the touchwood i've been playing with redmi 10 for a few hours now and i've noticed any sort of little quirky bugs
or irksome behavior however while you do have nfc i believe in some regions with the redmi 10 i don't appear to have it on this model uh right here i'm certainly not seeing it in any of the
settings or the toggles no wars on the storage front though because you've got 128 gigs i believe you can pick it up in
a 64 gig flavor as well and of course that is expandable via microsd now the 6.5 inch ips display seems pretty solid for this sort of price point it is a budget panel of course that is fairly obvious but at least it's a full hd plus panel so the resolution pretty sharp keeps those visuals nice and crisp some fine detail in there when you're
browsing your photos and everything colors are pretty punchy as usual despite the fact it's an ips and not an amoled and you can play around with the color scheme as well to sort of tone down the visuals if you like and change the color temperature the viewing angles admit they aren't fantastic the image clarity starts to break up once you tilt the screen away from your face or
watching something side by side with another fellow human being might be a bit tricky but on that top brightness certainly uh when you're using the redmi 10 outdoors the clarity stays strong
however while on top brightness that screen is absolutely great for outdoors use i have found that
the redmi 10's auto brightness functionality not exactly fantastic i've been using the
redmi 10 as my full-time ford for three days now and several times already i've had to manually tweak the brightness because either it's been a little bit too dim while i've been outdoors i couldn't quite see what i was doing otherwise it's been too bright in the
evenings and really burning my retinas and that is a problem i've had with several other budget xiaomi smartphones as well so it's not a massive shocker and while it's stuck at 60 hertz refresh
by default you can bump it up to 90 hertz if you like and according to xiaomi it is a variable refresh so it can dip down to 45 hertz when the display is not really doing much to conserve battery power let's shift onto the audio and it's a stereo speaker setup here on the xiaomi redmi 10 and both of those speakers are actually mounted on the edge of the device is the audio quality actually any good let's see is well worth celebrating in the obligatory traditional british manner of drinking alcohol until i can no longer feel feelings and it's okay for a budget phone to be perfectly honest uh this top speaker definitely doesn't output at the same sort of level of performance as the bottom speaker it's quite tinny uh and
uh quite quiet by comparison top volume you know it should be absolutely fine in a fairly noisy environment clarity is
not fantastic but you know it's good enough the main thing is that you've actually got a headphone jack here on the side of the redmi 10 so you can jack in when you want to listen to some music you've got bluetooth five support as well now performance and running the redmi 10 is the mediatek helio g88 chipset uh backed by either four or six gigs of rams it's pretty much the only smartphone around right now that's actually using the g88 and it's most definitely a basic chipset that's for damn sure but so far touchwood everyday
life seems to be absolutely fine despite the miui launcher being slathered on top of android that said the geekbench scores are certainly quite low compared with a lot of rivals like for instance
the nokia g50 and fellow xiaomi handsets like the redmi note 10s but of course for this sort of price you can't expect the moon on a stick and if you just want to do a bit of web browsing messaging
media streaming should do the job and now because i'm always curious as to how these smartphones perform with a good bit of gaming action i'm gonna get my ass handed to me by a bunch of
12 year olds on call of duty and unsurprisingly those graphic settings are rather limited here on the redmi 10 as you can see they're the highest you can bump the graphics quality is medium and then high for the frame rate and yeah the good news is that despite the fact that you are quite limited on the performance front this six giga ram model absolutely blazed through call of duty mobile no worries the frame rate stayed pretty consistent even when i bumped up to that mighty medium graphics detail setting throughout
the match that i played i certainly didn't notice any you know serious jitters or stumbles that would have impacted the gameplay and given me even less of a chance than i already have with my booze adultreactions and knackered old arthritic
hands the screen is nice and responsive as well so no issues on that front so yeah certainly if you want to do just a bit of light gaming on call of duty pub g etc no worries oh and the fun didn't even begin to heat up uh after 10 minutes of gaming either so norway is
there that's not really a surprise as the mediatek helio g88 is supposed to be pretty energy efficient and energy efficient this smartphone certainly is as well it's got a 5 000 milliamp capacity batteries it's pretty spacious to begin with but even then i was still impressed with what i saw some days i was finishing with around 40 to 50 battery life still remaining and that's with a good bit of media stream and plenty of messaging bit of camera player
all that good stuff even with a lot of skyping and some really heavy usage i still found i had at least 25 to 30 by the time i staggered to bed so even the most demanding of users should be more than satisfied by the xiaomi redmi 10 while just more casual users should be able to get two full days of use between charges although the uh fast charging is only 18 watts so not particularly fast at all you will have to basically plug it in for a couple of hours to get close to full bear in mind also that mediatek helio g88 chipset does not have a built-in 5g modem so no 5g support here on the redmi 10 if you want that you'll have to look at some of
xiaomi's other smartphones they generally have 5g in the name to kind of give you a bit of a helping hand otherwise there's likes the nokia g50 which just launched as well now last up for this xiaomi redmi 10 unboxing before i go and drown myself in a bathtub full
of beer let's have a look at the camera tech and we've got here is a quad lens setup and this is spearheaded by a 50 megapixel primary camera sensor the xiaomi camera ui will look very very familiar if you've used a xiaomi smartphone in recent times you can quickly and easily jump between that 50 meg primary sensor and the 8 megapixel ultrawide angle shooter like so and yeah you've got xiaomi's usual ai shenanigans on here as well but i tend to leave that switched off as i find that the results tend to be a bit artificial with that turned on as i mentioned before i've been using the xiaomi redmi 10 for a few days now and i'm definitely impressed by
the camera it's a solid budget shooter capturing respectable amounts of detail in every shot and the center is definitely perturbed by stronger lights you will find the occasional saturated
pick when you're shooting outdoors and in more ambient light there is blown with some very mobile subjects but otherwise my test photos all came out well and it's exactly what i would expect from a budget smartphone
the redmi 10s night mode doesn't really do much at all you get a slight boost in brightness but no greater clarity as for the ultra wide angle shooter well that's fine for getting a different view of the action and it even works reasonably well
in lower light the final two lenses here on the xiaomi redmi 10 don't get too excited because it's a two megapixel depth sensor and a two megapixel macro lens rc if you want to you can uh dive in and get a really up close personal shot with uh with whatever and you've got all of the usual uh bonus bits on here of course portrait mode which can add a bokeh style background effect which you can tweak there's a pro mode where you can piddle about with the various camera settings you can also shoot at the maximum 50 megapixel resolution if you like there is also a dedicated 50 megapixel mode here in the more section under the usual night mode slow motion time lapse all of that good stuff and if you do want to shoot a bit of video with your disembodied mannequin
head well the redmi 10 is rather limited as you can see there tops off at full hd at 30 frames per second there's no 60 fps option there's certainly no 4k it's the one of the limitations unfortunately
of that helio g88 and last up if you want to take selfies well there is a selfie cam and it's absolutely fine again as long as you're not trying to shoot against a bright sky or do anything uh remarkably silly like that then you'll get respectable enough results and there you have it mypretties that in a nutshell is the xiaomi redmi 10 budget smartphone as i say should be hit in europe imminently
for around 179 euros so it doesn't seem to bring anything particularly new or fresh to the budget smartphone mix but
it's a solid enough all rounder decent enough camera tech respectable performance strong battery life a good enough display you got the headphone jack the expandable storage uh no 5g is one of the only complaints so what do you guys recommend to hear your own thoughts in the xiaomi redmi 10 down Thanks and Pleas subscrib thanks
