Redmi 10 Prime vs Redmi Note 10: performance

Redmi 10 Prime is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset paired with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU, 4GB/6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB or 128GB internal storage that is further expandable via a microSD card. There’s an additional 2GB of expandable RAM. Redmi 10 Prime is the country’s first phone with the MediaTek chipset. The handset runs MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. The performance of the phone should be good enough for the price. 

Redmi Note 10 ships with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 SoC coupled with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB native storage that is further expandable via a microSD card. The phone runs on Android 11-based MIUI 12 custom skin out of the box. 

Redmi 10 Prime vs Redmi Note 10: battery

Redmi 10 Prime has a large 6,000mAh battery with 18W fast-charging support but there’s a 22.5W adapter in the box.

On the other hand, Redmi Note 10 houses a smaller 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support. Both phones offer an all-day battery life, but the Redmi 10 Prime will likely outlast the Redmi Note 10.

Redmi 10 Prime vs Redmi Note 10: verdict

Redmi 10 Prime is a budget offer, while the Redmi Note 10 is slightly a more premium option in the segment. The latter offers an AMOLED display, even better fast-charging support, and Snapdragon 678 chipset that should offer better performance in comparison to the Redmi 10 Prime. While the camera performance should be more or less similar on both phones, we can expect the Redmi Note 10 to be better as it houses a Sony sensor. That said, the Redmi Note 10 has received several price hikes and is no longer considered affordable. Foo consumers on a strict budget, the Redmi 10 Prime will likely be the option for you.
