Redmi Note 10 Pro Max Review By AndroidAndyUK

Hey guy sandy here, so I think one of the most interesting and one of the price brackets I actually really enjoy testing is that kind of low to mid-range or low mid-range or that kind of 200 pounds to for a 500 pound area um, because I think you can get some perfect devices in there. It's kind of where, if you draw a Venn diagram of good devices and value devices, it's kind of where it just crosses there, and you get some perfect devices at a perfect price. So I've been using the Redmi Note 10 pro max for almost a week now I think um as my main device. My sim card has gone into it, and I've been using it as my own device, and it is a device I paid for. I sort of made that clear. If you haven't watched my videos before I buy all my own devices um, so you're going to get hopefully kind of unbiased and honest opinions.

So let's just clarify on what this is again. It's the Redmi Note 10 pro max now. I think somebody commented on the unboxing video saying the max is just kind of an Indian version. It's basically the same as the pro, so you can take this as being the Redmi Note, 10 pro the note 10 does seem to be quite a different device. The pro version does have a lot of upgrades on it and I paid 265 pounds one bay for this.

So that gives you a rough idea. What sort of price we're looking at? So let's get on and see what I thought about it. I suppose so, as I do with all reviews, we'll kick off with the design, and I really like the design of this note 10 pro max. It's just a really nice. I don't quite know what you call that coating on the back there.

Furthermore, I think it looks perfect um. It does have a pretty huge camera bump. It's like a double camera bump, and it's one of the few devices that when I have it on like a mat or something to push it, I can feel the camera bump is, is actually like working like an anchor stopping me from moving the device around on a like my mouse mat or something um, it's 192 grams. So it is quite big. It's 8.1, millimeters thick, the fingerprint sensor is actually side mounted on the power button and generally has been quick and reliable. For me, you can have it that it's just touch sensitive, or you have to actually press the power button to activate it.

I've got it, so it's just touch sensitive, and it's worked very well. The device does have faced unlock as well, which I've found seems to work quite well, but that you need to be aware, isn't really as secure as a fingerprint sensor, and it does come with a case which I have had on almost all the time and with a screen protector applied, which thankfully I had on, because I did manage to sort of scuff the screen protector. But if you can see that just here when I've been using it out, riding um screaming is a bit of a dust magnet, but a lot of them are they're, generally quite cheap ones that get pre-installed. If you're that bothered, I would take that off and put on a tempered glass one but yeah design wise. For me, it's pretty much full marks.

I really like the look of that device. Really very nice hardware, wise we're. Looking at a snapdragon 732 g, which is an eight nanometer chipset, it's got an outscore CPU. It's got an arena 618 GPU. This particular model has 128 gigs of storage and eight gigs of ram sorry six gigs of ram, but you can get that with eight gigs, and you can get that 64 gig with six gigs, so I'm kind of in the middle bracket there.

All of that scored um 1712 as an average on geek bench 5, which puts it just behind the OnePlus word and actually, interestingly enough, just ahead of my pixel 5. , but we'll talk more about kind of the fluidity of it as we move on it is a dual sim and has a micro, SD card dedicated slot all in the one very long, sim tray the speaker. I think it sounds quite good generally. Quite well-rounded, let's give you a quick blast, 36 cents, for its shares when they went public on the London stock exchange valuing the company. Interestingly, it only actually scored an average of 83.8 decibels on my test across three different sorts of bits of music. Well, two bits of music on a podcast which is actually quite low down on my list, but I think it's just.

It sounds reason for us for a smartphone speaker reasonably well-rounded hardware-wise. It is lacking this device. Furthermore, it is lacking NFC, which, probably for the first time, I realized how much I do use NFC so using this device as my main device. Furthermore, it meant that when I went outside- and I had to take my credit card with me- because normally I literally take my phone- I pay for my coffee and cake with the NFC on my device and Google Pay. So that would be the one dealbreaker for me.

I think, is it a deal? Breaker? Oh? Is it done annoying? Maybe it's just an annoyance um. The screen is a super AMOLED 120 hertz, which I do have turned on and have had turned on the whole time: hdr10 it's 6.67 inches and 2400 by 1080, which is a 20 to 9 ratio that comes out about 395 pixels per inch and 85.7 percent screen to body ratio. Generally, I think the screen is really quite nice um. It does default to 60hz but, as I say I pumped up to 120, I think it looks pretty good. There was so by default.

I realized. Actually it's slightly over saturated. It blows some colors out too much, and I suppose, where I saw it or where it's the most evident perhaps is when I opened strava has, I suppose, just an orange that I'm used to, and I opened up on this device, and it was quite red- and I thought oh, that looks a little weird. I compared it to my pixel 5. Yeah, that's definitely redder than it should be, but then I found you can tweak it in the display settings.

I don't need to show you suppose you can tweak it in the display settings, and you can change the color temperature, and you can change just the kind of the saturation all sorts and then after that, um you can see here. If I just circle the um, the note 10 on the right hand, side next to my pixel, you can see the difference hopefully afterwards, and I think it does make it look a lot better and yeah. The screen, generally, I think, is very good. It scored 627 lumens on my uh on my light meter um, which is which okay, it's kind of middle of the pack. That's where most devices end up these days around the 600 to 700 mark, and I generally had no issues.

I used it quite a lot when I was out cycling actually had some sun this last week I had no problems seeing the screen at all so yeah. The screen again like that can be an area. That's a bit of an um, a cost saver on a budget device, but the screens seem pretty good onto the other area. There can be a cost saver on a budget device, the lenses or the cameras. So this has the main lens is 108, megapixel, f, 1.9, regular wide angle. The secondary is an 8 megapixel ultra-wide, which is f 2.2, then there's a 5 megapixel macro lens, which is f 2.4 and a 2 megapixel depth sensor on the front is a 16, megapixel, f, 2.5, regular wide angle. So I did do a whole separate video on the cameras.

I will try and remember to throw it up in the corner. Whichever corner it's going to be, I think um. So I would recommend going with that about nine minutes long, but it goes to all the different lenses and the different conditions and to give you a bit of a summary, generally they're, pretty good, again cameras off an area where a budget phone is uh savings are made, did lenses seem pretty good. My one concern really was the saturation of the colors using the main lens. So again, I've been out cycling a lot.

My bike is kind of an orange red color and quite often they came through as kind of bright burning red just to it looked quite fake, basically um, but I would imagine that can be adjusted one way or another through software patches and maybe there's even settings, I've not found. I only realized this morning. I could try and install it in Guam, which I did. Actually it didn't really make any difference. I only took a couple of pictures and better testing if I'd done that a week ago, um and tested it on things like my bike in the sunshine but bottom line yeah, it says to me: it's a software.

Actually, the sensors themselves seem pretty good um, and obviously it's got an ultra-wide, which I think is a bit of a necessity. These days on cameras so yeah the lenses generally pretty good, even in low light, they were pretty good, um the front facing camera. I guess I would probably best describe just as okay, so it's all right, um, the video footage. Again, I was quite surprised. One thing that phones often struggle with is when you're panning, because if it's got image stabilization, it's trying to take away that little of movement and just keep it steady for you, even though you're still moving its trying to keep that image.

So when you pan it can sometimes struggle to work out well, is that just a bit of a movement or is that an actual? And that can be what causes it to? Actually it seemed it looked pretty good. I thought the video footage generally was quite smooth again. The color saturation needs a bit of a tweak. I don't know quite why they've gone like that. I think maybe it's a Samsung thing they've tried to copy.

Furthermore, I don't know but yeah all in all the cameras again go. Watch the separate video for more detail. Then the software we're running android, 11 and mini 12 um, which actually these days looks quite nice. Quite a lot of features, and you know mini or a reason not to buy a Xiaomi phone in the past will be the software. That's just not the case now.

Mini is actually a pretty good version of android um. Obviously it's got gestures. Um, it's got other things like quick ball and second space. I'm not going to go into the detail of me. You are.

You could probably look that up in a different video, but just say it is actually pretty good. There are adverts scattered throughout it, but you can definitely you can turn most of those off and I did do a separate video if I remember I'll link that one up in the corner of how to sort of just turn that off without any literatures options in the settings to turn all of them off um, and it's just reasonably slick as well. So I mentioned the geek bench 5 score of 1712 um, and actually it's quite a smooth. You know that is enough power to give you a pretty smooth experience so again, mini. I think that's a thumbs up.

The security update at the moment is from February we're literally April the second right now um, that's not bad, that's not bad. I don't think I give him credit for that um, you can game on it. I played a little of Mario Kart. It has no problems with Mario Kart. I don't really that's about.

As far as my gaming goes, and I seem to be just fine, then, let's move on to the battery. So the battery is a lip 50, 20 William hours or 5020 William hour non-removable battery with the uh brick included, which actually, unfortunately, this case was like a European brick. So I just used my regular chargers, but it does do fast charging at 33 watts, which they say, goes 60 in half an hour or all the way from zero to a full in an hour, a quarter which is pretty good. In my battery test. My hour-long battery test, which is watching a video for set that set the screen brightness to 300 lumens and then space an hour on test, doing a few different things.

It finished on 94, which is okay. It's pretty good. Furthermore, it's up there with some better devices, but actually the battery life is pretty epic. If I go into ACLU battery, you can see that at the bottom, so it says 9 hours, 23 screens on time, which is I mean, that's good, but it's not amazing, but that combined use look so screen off time. If you just left the device on your desk and didn't touch it five days, it's lasting five days and combined use 62 hours.

So basically I mean the last time I charged this was yesterday morning at half seven, and I'm still on 45 percent. So that's been going whatever. It is 30 odd hours. I won't just pass halfway, so you literally could take it off charge on a Saturday and not have to charge it again Saturday, Sunday until Monday night. That's that's pretty epic! I mean that's my usage, I'm not a massively heavy user.

So obviously yours, your mileage may differ um, but still that's pretty epic battery life um. So in conclusion, I think you would sum this device up by saying it's just a good, solid phone. It doesn't particularly have any weaknesses. It's got a decent screen. Furthermore, it's got a decent enough set of cameras.

Furthermore, it's very smooth to use, got amazing battery life. Furthermore, it's got a. I think. It's a beautiful design, honestly if it was a five-inch device, and it had NFC. I could use this as my main daily device without really any concerns, and it cost 265 pounds.

That's that's pretty impressive. I think that's pretty impressive um. If I had to pick his weakest point, it's maybe the cameras, maybe it's the cameras, but not that they're. Pretty again, I think they're good enough. I would be okay with using them uh would I think I would, I know camera I do like to have it.

That's what I've got a pixel phone because, like um, but they're, they're, pretty good again, just that color saturation. If I can figure that out, I think it's fine, so yeah there you go the Redmi Note 10 pro max around about 265 really nice devices. So, as I mentioned earlier, I do buy all of my own devices. Please consider going to patreon. com AAU or buy me a coffee.

com AAU. I hope those are right, if not I'm fairly sure. In my video description of all my videos, um, you know if this video has been helpful or you just you've watched other videos been helpful. Um, please do consider chipping in because that's when I can afford to buy more phone devices. I know people have moaned because I've been doing more cycling.

Videos because I do buy my own devices. So if I'm busy doing other things or spending money on other things, I haven't got money for phone devices, um, so yeah, just something about it. It'd be great. If you can contribute anything towards it again, I've it's not that I'm hard up or anything. So don't you know, I'm not trying to plead that.

I'm some poor, but that's got no way of getting by and paying my mortgage. I'm fine! Furthermore, I'm just it would be nice um little contributions so because I've bought a lot of devices over the years that I end up, losing a lot more money than YouTube makes me anyway. Let me know your thoughts about the Redmi Note 10 pro max in the comments down below. I do read all of them, and I'll comment and reply where suitable um, but for now my name's, Andy and I'll catch you all again soon.
