Xiaomi has launched its latest flagship series – Redmi Note 10 series – which includes Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. While the new models still drag along some old features like 5,020 mAh battery, support for 33 W fast charging and similar punch-hole display design, it also brings some good features for smartphones under Rs 21,000. The Redmi Note 10 series comes with features like 120 Hz Super AMOLED display and 108 MP quad camera setup. The two features are especially exciting to see in the price segment.
But, is it ground-breaking? On paper. Yes.
Do we need that? Maybe.
It all comes down to which new Redmi Note 10 series model will the masses prefer? Which one brings more value for money?

Conclusion
Redmi Note 10 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max come with the same specifications except for the camera. So, unless you really care about the 108 MP quad camera, you can ditch the Pro Max model. Also, while we are yet to test the smartphone, it’s notable to mention that the 108 MP primary sensor though looks good on paper, Google Pixel series is proof that the number of megapixels and sensors may not necessarily translate to premium picture quality. But that’s not to say that it’s not interesting that the 108 MP camera-sporting Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is priced at Rs 21,000, while the OG Galaxy S21 Ultra with 108 MP camera tech costs over Rs 70,000.
Talking about the Redmi Note 10, it’s not much of a jump from its predecessor since it has a smaller battery (Note 10: 5,000 mAh, Note 9: 5,020 mAh), faster-charging speed (Note 10: 33 W, Note 9: 22.5 W), similar 48 MP quad-camera setup, same size display and the same 13 MP selfie camera.
