The Note 10S is the latest offering in Xiaomi’s more affordable Redmi line of smartphones. Falling within our Advanced price segmentation of devices costing between $200 to $399, it comes with some attractive specs for the budget-conscious consumer.
The display is a 6.43-inch AMOLED with 2400 x 1080 resolution and MediaTek’s Helio G95 chipset provides the processing. The Redmi Note 10S comes with either 6 or 8 GB of RAM, and 64 or 128 GB of storage, and there’s a high-capacity 5000 mAh battery with fast 33W charging.
Billed as the “64 MP adventurer,” the Redmi Note 10S houses four camera modules, which is impressive at this price point. Its main 64 MP wide camera is complemented by an ultra-wide module with an 118° field of view, as well as dedicated macro and depth sensors. There’s no tele lens for long-range zoom enthusiasts. 4K 30 fps is the top-end video option, as well as 60 fps capture when you drop the resolution to 1080p.
Sounds good on paper. Let’s see how it gets on in our DXOMARK Camera tests.
