Main specs of the Redmi 10 Prime
The Redmi 10 Prime sports a familiar Evol design language inspired by the Redmi Note 10 series. It has a glossy shell with dual-tone colours having sky blue at the base and beautifully blends with silver-grey at the top. It is visually gorgeous in the sunlight, but the only qualm I have is the back is a fingerprint magnet.
Xiaomi also offers two more colour options — Phantom Black and Astral White- and they are good too. An interesting aspect of the Redmi 10 Prime, is that it is very slim (9.6mm) for a device, which houses a massive 6,000 mAh battery.
It has a sturdy premium frame around the edges offering a really good grip. Also, the case on the front protrudes a bit over the edge on the front panel and this protects the screen from cracking when the phone falls with the display facing the solid ground.
It features rubberised seals all around the phone’s openings to ensure the phone is protected from accidental water splashes and rains. Also, the company notes that the spaces such as Type-C ports, speaker grills, 3.5mm jack ports have anti-corrosion coating. This will further improve the longevity of the device.
Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime features a 6.5-inch full HD+ (2400 x 1080p) IPS LCD screen with 90Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 shield. The display is very bright and works well outdoors too.
There is a special feature hidden in the Display brightness setting to turn on the Sunlight mode to deliver better viewing of content under direct sunlight. This is a thoughtful value-added feature, which is missing in most of the budget phones in the market. There is also Reading Mode 3.0 too.
Furthermore, the phone comes with an adaptive brightness option, which changes the brightness according to the room conditions. The display can also dynamically change the refresh rate from 45Hz to normal 60Hz to superfluid 90Hz depending on what the user is doing on the phone such as reading or browsing the internet. It will reach max level while playing games.
It comes with a 12nm class MediaTek Helio octa-core (2.0Hz Arm Cortex-A75 x 2 cores + 1.8Ghz Arm Cortex-A55 x 6 cores ) chipset with with 1000MHz ARM Mali-G52 2EEMC2 GPU backed by Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 OS, 4GB/ 6GB LPDDR4x RAM, 64GB/128GB eMMC 5.1 storage (expandable).
