redmi note 10
The Redmi Note 10 is a budget smartphone that one would call an all-rounder since it does well at covering the basics of what a good budget smartphone under 15K should offer. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 chipset, a mildly-upgraded version of the Snapdragon 675 SoC. It brings other lucrative features in the sub 15K price segment, such as a Super AMOLED display, a 48MP primary lens, a large 5,000mAh battery, and an elegant design. The screen’s resolution is Full HD+, and it is 6.43-inches in size. You also get an 8MP ultra-wide camera which some phone manufacturers tend to skip at this price point. The 48MP lens takes good shots during the day and acceptable ones at night. The phone is also IP53 dust and water-resistant in other areas, which is also a rarity at this price point. So, you get a plethora of value-for-money features with the Redmi Note 10. However, the gaming performance, as per our tests, isn’t up to the mark.

The large 5,000mAh battery is powered by a 33W fast charger included in the box.
