Xiaomi’s Redmi launched two new budget 5G-ready phones, aka Redmi 10X Pro and Redmi 10X, in China on Tuesday. The Redmi 10X Pro and Redmi 10X bring dual band and dual SIM 5G connectivity to the masses courtesy their MediaTek Dimensity 820 processor. Redmi also launched a Redmi 10X 4G model alongside, but that seems more or less like a rebranded Redmi Note 9.
The Redmi 10X Pro and Redmi 10X have a lot in common. They have the same glass (Corning Gorilla Glass 5) and metal design with in-display fingerprint sensor for biometrics. Both the phones have the same 6.57-inch 1080p+ AMOLED display with water drop-style notch. Both the phones are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 820 processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Both the phones run the same Android 10-based MIUI 12 software and pack a sizable 4,520mAh battery with fast charging support.
Let’s talk about the differences now. The Redmi 10X Pro has four rear cameras, a 48MP main, 8MP telephoto for up to 3X optical zoom (5X hybrid, 30x digital zoom), 8MP ultra-wide angle, and another 5MP macro camera for closeups.
