A new contender has just arrived at the entry range. This is the first smartphone of the Redmi series (purely, without the ‘last name’ Note) that offers us 5G connectivity, so this is precisely one of its main assets to compete in the segment in which affordable mobile phones are fighting. However, this is not the only feature that makes it an interesting option on paper.
In the photographs that illustrate this article we can see that it has a striking design in which reasonably thin frames stand out and a camera module that adds to the aesthetic commitment of more and more high-end terminals. In addition, as we are about to discover, his specifications do not look bad at all, and his camera proposal fits into the market segment in which he is going to compete. This is how this new man spends them Redmi 10 5G.

Its specifications fit into its range, although its asset is its adaptive refreshment
The processor that Xiaomi has chosen to move the MIUI 13 customization layer over Android 12 is a chip MediaTek Dimension 700 produced with 7nm photolithography. Its graphics logic is a Mali-G57, and the main memory, which is of the LPDDR4X type, can have a capacity of 4 or 6 GB. So far there is nothing out of tune in an entry-level mobile phone at an affordable price.
To fine-tune the screen, this brand has opted for an IPS-type LCD panel with Full HD + resolution (2408 x 1080 points) and 6.58 inches, which it has, and this is an interesting feature in this segment, adaptive sync. However, the way in which this technology is implemented is not as ambitious as the strategy that many high-end and premium smartphones are opting for.
The adaptive refresh algorithm of the Redmi 10 5G monitors the software that is being executed to act dynamically on the refresh of the panel and reduce battery consumption. This is the strategy commonly used to execute adaptive synchronization, but we are interested in not forgetting that the values that the refresh of this mobile can adopt are only four and they are preset: 30, 50, 60 and 90Hz. The panel will always work at one of these four refresh rates, so it will not ‘drop’ below 30 Hz or adopt intermediate values.

Two features of this mobile phone that many users will possibly appreciate are the presence of a headphone jack in Jack 3.5mm, and also FM radio. Of course, it does not offer us Wi-Fi 6 connectivity; it has Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC. One last note: your battery has a capacity of 5000mAhand together with this mobile Xiaomi gives us a 22.5-watt transformer that is capable of charging it with an effective power of 18 watts.
Its camera proposal is modest, but also convincing (in its range)
The front camera of this mobile phone incorporates a 5-megapixel sensor and optics with an aperture value of f/2.2, an option similar to what we can find in many of the smartphones in its price range. On the other hand, two units reside in the rear camera module: the main camera with wide-angle optics and a depth camera that claims a part of the leading role when we take a portrait.
The depth camera collects additional information about the background to give us a more uniform and higher quality background blur
The main camera is committed to a 50-megapixel sensor and optics with an aperture value of f/1.8, while the depth camera is satisfied with a 2-megapixel sensor. However, on paper it is sufficient because the function of the latter is to collect additional information. about background to give us a background blur (bokeh) more uniform and of higher quality.
Xiaomi has confirmed that this smartphone incorporates a night mode designed to recover a lot of detail in those shooting scenarios in which ambient light is scarce, as well as a new effect designed to give our photos and videos a cinematic finish. We will put both to the test when we have the opportunity to thoroughly review this mobile phone.
