Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Review

A 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED that sets a mid-range standard

The panel is a 6.67-inch AMOLED at 2400×1080 with a 120Hz refresh rate — a configuration reviewers singled out as lifting mid-range expectations. Notebookcheck called the display a highlight, and TechAdvisor listed the 120Hz AMOLED as a primary pro.

The 120Hz AMOLED combination provides smoother scrolling and UI animation versus 60Hz competitors in the same segment; these are measurable UX benefits but come with the usual trade-offs of higher refresh-rate power draw when enabled.

Snapdragon 732G provides solid mid-range performance, consistent GPU behavior

Xiaomi equipped the phone with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 732G paired with Adreno GPU and either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM; storage options are 64 GB or 128 GB. UL/3DMark results show a Wild Life score of 1116 and 1115 (Unlimited) with Wild Life stability reported at 99%, indicating consistent GPU performance across runs.

Graphics test readings included roughly 6 FPS in one of the 3DMark graphics tests — consistent with the chipset’s positioning as an upper-mid-range, 4G-only processor. Reviewers characterized raw performance as 'decent' for daily tasks and gaming at moderate settings.

108MP main sensor delivers scale but lacks optical image stabilization

The phone’s headline camera spec is a 108-megapixel main sensor. Reviews called the main camera excellent overall, particularly for stills at its class, but noted a lack of OIS which limits long-exposure and low-light stabilization compared with phones that include optical stabilization.

TechAdvisor and Notebookcheck both highlighted the camera system as a key strength but reviewers also flagged the physical 'huge camera bump' as a design consequence of the large sensor stack.

Long battery life with 33W fast charging

TechAdvisor lists long battery life among the phone’s pros, and Notebookcheck confirms the inclusion of 33W fast charging. UL aggregate notes that reported battery-life figures vary with testing conditions, but reviewers agreed the Note 10 Pro sustains multi-day light-to-moderate use in real-world testing.

Because public battery tests vary in brightness and background load, benchmark medians can be broad; still, combined coverage places the device’s battery/runtime as a practical strength when paired with efficient AMOLED and Snapdragon 732G.

Solid build but software and camera module are divisive

Design-wise the phone was described as plain by some reviewers (Onyx Gray example) but functional. The large camera bump is repeatedly called out in reviews. The device ships with Android 11 and Xiaomi’s MIUI skin, which TechAdvisor warns 'is not for everyone.'

Connectivity is explicitly 4G only — reviewers list the absence of 5G as a notable con relative to some contemporaries. The combination of MIUI preferences and the physical camera bump are practical considerations for buyers prioritizing ergonomics or stock Android experience.

Pros & Cons

• ✅ 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 2400×1080 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate
• ✅ 108MP main camera delivering high-resolution stills
• ✅ Snapdragon 732G with consistent GPU results (3DMark Wild Life ~1116, stability 99%)
• ✅ Available with 6 GB or 8 GB RAM and up to 128 GB storage
• ✅ 33W fast charging and reviewer-reported long battery life

• ❌ No 5G modem — Snapdragon 732G is 4G-only
• ❌ No optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main camera
• ❌ Pronounced camera bump that affects pocketability
• ❌ MIUI software experience described as 'not for everyone' in reviews

How It Compares to the Competition

• Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 — Smaller sibling with lower refresh-rate options; consider if you don’t need 120Hz.
• Poco X3 — Listed by reviewers as a direct competitor from Xiaomi’s sub-brand — strong on value and different trade-offs in performance and build.
• Realme mid-range phones — Realme models were cited as part of the competitive set offering similar feature mixes (display, cameras) in the mid-range.
• OnePlus / Google lower-tier models — TechAdvisor referenced OnePlus and Google as rivals in the broader mid-range segment — they present alternatives with different software and 5G choices.

Who Should Buy This & Who Should Skip It

Buy it if: Buy if you prioritize a 120Hz AMOLED screen and a high-resolution 108MP main camera in a mid-range handset, and you value consistent GPU performance (3DMark Wild Life ~1116). It's well suited to users who don't require 5G or optical stabilization but want strong display and battery behavior.

Skip it if: Skip this phone if you need 5G connectivity or optical image stabilization for low-light photography. Also look elsewhere if you prefer a stock Android experience over Xiaomi’s MIUI or want a more pocket-friendly camera module.
