Around the back of the Redmi Note 10 is a quad-camera setup featuring a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP macro lens, and 2MP depth sensor. The phone also packs a large 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, dual stereo speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The phone will be offered in two variants in India. While the 64GB variant is priced at ₹11,999 ($165), the 128GB variant will cost ₹13,999 ($193).
Redmi Note 10 Pro, on the other hand, has a larger 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a Snapdragon 732G chipset under the hood, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
