Leave a comment

Xiaomi is known for many things. They are currently one of the most popular names in smart home ecosystem accessories and appliances. But they started as a humble smartphone manufacturer that shook the market with a very memorable and immensely popular Xiaomi Mi 3.

The Xiaomi Mi 3, while a powerhouse back in its day, may not cut it for 2021 though. For 2021, you need something more powerful, something like the Redmi Note 10S from the highly commended Redmi Note 10 series. Welcome to the 64-Megapixel experience of the Redmi Note 10S.

Immersive and Impressive

The device first greets you with a beautiful 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED DotDisplay screen at the front with a punch-hole to house a 13-Megapixel selfie camera. The 20:9 ratio display boasts a bezel-less design too for a properly immersive and optimal viewing experience. With Dual speakers at the top and bottom of the device, the Redmi Note 10S offers an immersive experience like no other in its class.

You do not unlock the device like any other device of its class too. The Arc biometric fingerprint sensor is nestled on the power button housed on the aluminium frame on the sides of the Redmi Note 10S. That also means clean, balanced, and polished look from all sides of the Redmi Note 10S. Covering the back of the device is a beautifully crafted glass backing in three colour choices – Onyx Gray, Pebble White, and Ocean Blue.

An Everyday Powerhouse

The Android 10 device is powered by a powerful MediaTek Helio G95 System on a Chip (SoC) which is designed with gaming in mind. Serious gamers would also appreciate its 31% GPU performance bump compared to its predecessor. All that power requires a large battery bank though. That is handled by a massive 5,000 mAh battery pack to keep it running for an entire day and more. With 33W of fast charging too, you will not be stuck to a wall socket for too long before getting on your next big adventure again.

Memories in Better Detail

When you talk about adventure, you are also talking about creating memories. In that sense, there is no better way to create memories with tonnes of photos. This is the Redmi Note 10S’ party piece is.

The Redmi Note 10S packs an immensely powerful 64-Megapixel quad camera set up that will capture the best moments of your next adventure. The main 64-Megapixel shooter shoots highly detailed photos that captures the essence of the moment in that photo.

There is an 8-Megapixel ultra-wide camera that captures at 118o. A wider shot also means more object in a photo. You can now include everyone of your group without finding a large space for you to back out to. You can capture more of nature in your adventures. You can take stunning landscape photos and freeze that moment in time forever in the ample 128GB (up to) of storage you have in the Redmi Note 10S.

There is also a 2-Megapixel macro camera that allows you to take photos of the finer things in life. You can go into the details of your adventure with the macro lens, taking photos of everything including the sunflower that bloomed right beside your chalet or tent. If there is a butterfly or a bee on the flower, your macro lens could handle the shot and produce clear and detailed image of that moment.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Series is Here for MYR 799!

Leave a comment

Xiaomi’s Redmi line-up has been the long serving champion of great value for money smartphones. Okay, I might have exaggerated their position a minute there. But they are really good at what they do; they are really good at making budget friendly smartphones that punches above their weight.

Yesterday they launched the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note10 Pro in Malaysia with prices starting at MYR 799. The new Redmi Note series is, technically, the brand’s most advanced Redmi yet in certain areas.

You get a very powerful and proven Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series in the form of a Snapdragon 732G. Unfortunately, you do not get 5G capabilities with the chipset. Then again, 5G technology has yet to see public daylight in Malaysia at this time.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro more than makes up for it with an ultra-powerful 108-Megapixel main camera though. Yes, it is the same 108-Megapixel sensor that the Xiaomi Mi11 gets. You also get the enhanced Night Mode 2.0 for even better low-light shooting capabilities with the high-resolution camera. That added with the dual native ISO nature of the sensor means you can really take this device to the night. The 108-Megapixel camera also comes with an 8-Megapixel ultra-wide sensor, 5-Megapixel telemacro sensor, and a 2-Megapixel depth sensor to make it even more versatile.

You also get the Note 10 Pro with 120Hz AMOLED display. This makes this mid-ranger one of the most unique smartphones in the market. You seldom see 120Hz refresh rates in smartphones at this price, at this range. The 6.67-inch Full HD AMOLED display boasts Full HD+ and is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Of course, all that power needs a lot of electricity to keep it going. That is where the 5,020mAh battery comes in to ensure you get a whole day of running time. You can get the battery charged quickly too at 33W.

The Redmi Note 10 is a little less impressive with 6.43-inch AMOLED DotDisplay taking up its front. But you still get 33W charging on the impressive 5,000mAh battery. You also still get dual speakers similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro with Hi-Res Audio certification for immersive audio.

The Processor is a step down from the Redmi Note10 as well at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 678. The System on a Chip (SoC) is still no slouch though. You can still play modern mobile games with it with no issues.

On the camera front, while not as impressive as the 108-Megapixel main camera flanked by three other cameras, the Redmi Note 10 still has four cameras packed into the rear section of the device. You get a 48-Megapixel main shooter, which is still relevant today, an 8-Megapixel ultra-wide shooter, a 2-Megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-Megapixel depth sensor.

Redmi Note 10S

Want a higher-resolution camera without breaking your bank with the high-end Redmi Note 10 Pro? There is the in-between model that is the Redmi Note 10S.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S features a 64-Megapixel main shooter that is flanked by an 8-Megapixel ultra-wide sensor, a 2-Megapixel macro camera, and another 2-Megapixel depth camera. You can see a pattern emerging here. The 64-Megapixel sensor though should be able to give you super clear, super pretty photos out-of-the-box.

You are not getting a Qualcomm Snapdragon to boot here though. You are getting a MediaTek Helio G95 SoC to work with. The MediaTek Helio G95 is proven to be a potent and capable processor in mobile gaming, so you should not be left wanting more.

You also get 5,000mAh battery packed in its body for all-day battery and even more. If that is not enough, the battery charges at up to 33W too for a quick trip to the sockets.

Redmi Note 10 5G

If you want to take advantage of 5G networking when its available then you have to look at the 5G variant of the new Xiaomi Redmi Note series. It is the only Redmi Note series that is powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 700 with 5G capabilities. There are some compromises on this device though.

For one, you get one less camera. You still get a high-resolution 48-Megapixel main camera to work with. But you are only getting two other cameras besides. You get a 2-Megapixel macro sensor and another 2-Megapixel depth sensor. You also lose out on the front camera at 8-Megapixel compared to 13 (10 and 10S) and 16 (10 Pro).

You do get a bigger display though at 6.5-inch. You also get an impressive 90Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate that will optimise itself to keep your device lasting as long as it can on a single charge. You also get a 5,000mAh battery for an impressive battery life. Although, you only get up to 18 in charging speed.
