I have it for 3 months and here are my issues: when I want to end a call my proximity sensor doesn't work and my screen remains black, so the other person should end the call. These days I just shake my phone and it lights up. It's the same when I open a voice message in Messenger - black screen until the message is over. [...] Also the camera in lower light is not good - I cannot read a text on the other wall of my room on a poster. [...] I'm not satisfied with the camera. [...] My old PocoF1 makes better photos with GCam than 10 pro. Also when I'm on loudspeaker or when I send a message or record sounds there is some background noise that is so annoying even if I'm in a quiet room alone. When I shoot a photo of a close text it blurs the edges and only the center of the photo is clear, I couldn't fix this. Overall I'm gonna sell it and stay with my old PocoF1 which is still perfect in performance, camera, battery life (1 day of hard use - at least 7-8h SoT). On note 10 pro it's 9h SoT, when I use dark mode, always turn on battery saver, 60hz, light on 50%, and only WiFi on. [...]
I bought this device exactly 4months ago beautiful glacia blue. Last Sunday, my phone started blinking and suddenly went blank. I've have sent it to the repair center in Lagos and I'm been told that if the company is to replace the phone, I may have to settle for the note 10s as the pro ain't in supply at the moment... [...]
[...] I feel lucky because now i can't find it in as good price when i look. Strong points are the screen and speakers followed by the camera. Screen looks really nice, camera-hole is as small as it gets and the speakers are miles better than the Redmi 9 Pro(i have one). They even beat my Mi Max 2 that was the best sounding smartphone i had. [...]
[...] 2)Moreover, MIUI doesn't look well configured to handle notifications, keeps flickering in loop after uploading files on Google Drive. [...] 4) Instagram feed doesn't refresh when you save a post and wish to view it immediately. [...]
I've been using a Redmi note 10 as my main phone for about 5 years now and I hate it why are the default apps showing me unskippable ads
agree with other reply for Xiaomi pad, Xiaomi are a good balance of price and performance; they do have a bit of bloatware on their stuff but it's easy to remove (I've used a Xiaomi redmi note 10 for the last like 3ish or so years)
I have been using the redmi note 10 pro for way over a year now and there is no problem at all with it! It's the best phone to have by far
[...] I've been using this phone as my secondary device for university and work, and its just holding up surprisingly well. Great video and a really good value phone.
[...] The battery-life was excellent on my P30 too, but man, this is even better. Still not really used to the fingerprint-reader being on the side, but ill get the hang of it eventually, cheers from Sweden and stay safe everyone 😋 Update: Over 2 years later and im still very happy with it, havent noticed any major issues (like some around the web apparantly have had) The battery-life is still excellent, i get almost 3 days with my usage, I mostly just chat a bit, check a YouTube video or 2, check some news etc.
Yes i will buy, i have now the 5 pro, fantastic phone for 3 years. Cannot wait for 10 pro same price best specs.
4 months into using the device I've noticed that anytime I send WhatsApp messages to my contacts,it delays(up to 2 hours) to be delivered. Its very frustrating because I tried my best possible including - checking my network - updating the system to the latest - Resetting the device (factory reset) - switching to a new WhatsApp account (incase the problem was from my previous account) But this rendered futile to solving my problem.
Bonjour, for me after 4 months the redmi note 10 pro is a very very bad smarthone.
[...] I bought this bad boy almost two years ago right when it came in my country and i had a blast with it. It has some lag and overheating problems lately but over all easily the best phone i had so far. [...]
[...] To be honest with you I still believe this is one of the best buys of 2021 compared to it's price. [...]
it's been...aeons-I mean 9 months since I recorded a Redmi Note 10 Pro long-term review video. I say that I used it for 4 years in the recording, but I corrected it to 5 years as I uploaded it since I got it back in May 2021. [...]
[...] I got this device last year April and it was stolen after 3 months to 4 months of use. [...]
Wallet was one of the reasons I abandoned my well working lineageOS phone on a redmi note 10 as it was a cat and mouse game over month. [...]
[...] I just got one because for some reason my Redmi Note 10 despite passing all play integrity checks after hacks like Tricky store+Key box triggered some checks in my banking apps. I needed to use an aftermarket ROM, because my device would not receive any updates from Xiaomi (also I don't know why a device packed with Chinese bloat ware is certified as secure in the first place). And guess what I bought: a Google Pixel. [...]
Been using an old redmi note 10 pro as a DAP, paired with either a kiwiears allegro mini or a moondrop dawn pro DAC. It has a nice screen, super fast charging, expandable SD card storage and a 3.5mm jack if I ever forget the DAC. [...]
Second recommendation for the Sony Xperia, I had mine for a good while and it lasted well! Also recommending a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 or phones around this model. My note 10 has a banging camera (why i chose it) and was pretty affordable when I got it a few years ago, and is holding up well too!
also it looks like fast charging in my phone broke and apparently it's not uncommon in redmi note 10 so I'm just like, why is my phone luck so bad
[...] The battery-life was excellent on my P30 too, but man, this is even better. [...]
I don't have much of a heating issue with gaming and Mobile Legends can truly heat up a phone if you're running max graphics. I think it also comes down to which MIUI version you use (from what I've seen) I've stayed on 12.0.2 and I've had basically no issues.
do u think there's an issue with wifi range , i have less range of wifi than my previous phone ( note 9 pro ) , i used to get 5g wifi in my room no issues , but now I'm not able to get it
I buy one two months before now thinking I will buy another one this is a awesome phone
[...] You are the only one to said that the camera module is heating.... Yes I used the phone it's camera module is heating... [...]
The major issue I have with the RN10pro is mic issues. On a WhatsApp call, if the phone is on speaker, it is difficult for the person on the other line to hear me. It's quite frustrating
Now this is good quality content, Its relaxing to watch. The Note 10 Pro is a proven device. I have it, and despite the bumby ride, I can say finally we have reached smooth tarmac. Hopefully its smooth sailing here onwards. Quality device this.
I got d Redmi Note 10 pro max...Its a Great phone for the price range Great sAmoled Display , 108mp , 120hz ,great design ,good battary
It's not good...i bought mine after 3 hours of used the screen turn all green and i cannot turn it off...i don't recommend this phone...
How did anyone solve the issue of callers not displaying on time? That is the only concern I have
I use the Redmi Note 10 Pro, but switched to the Indonesia ROM almost immediately (due to MIUI Dailer and MIUI Message). I've noticed that it seems to be more stable as I hardly have the issues that most users complain of.
I have been using mine for over 2 months now and it's a go. ✌️
I bought dis phone and also sold it for 80k within 2weeks of usage 😔.. [...]
I think that hotspot problem is common on Xiaomi devices... That hotspot problem also affected my Redmi note 7 and 9c.... Mostly using Xender though!
i brought one two weeks ago on the basis of this video and wow it is so so good ,i had an google 3a before but the redmi shoots it down in flames
[...] I bought it 2 days back but now only space 1.4 out of 4gb , I don't have that much apps but why ?? It's why asking to update miui mojito in global zip file (2.5gb) downloaded , and also to setup m2101k7AI, why bro ? [...]
I have redmi note 10 but i didn't see any of those problem u mentioned might be bcoz of new system update of my redmi note 10
The display light sensor i have seen in almost all the mi, poco, redmi phones I've used and Snapdragon used to be hot and still is very hot, mediatek is doing great..
While I am using dual aap like phonepe , Amazon then at the time of message sending for account verification -it showing a error and not respond for message . Error shown as that - ensure that you have selected the default msg app for sending message . But default message application is set , what I do
I have it for testing redmi note 10 pro and it takes better night shots than my iphone 11, the screen is brilliant super amoled 120 hz,
[...] IMHO, it could be worth the fight if GrapheneOS could win their (rather legal/lobbying) battle to obtain play integrity certification by following security closely (which is a joke IMHO because EOL phones with not updates for years also get integrity). [...] I used lineage as my daily driver since the CyanogenMod days and the HTC desire, but switched to a Google Pixel a few month back, because I felt I had lost the play integrity fight and although my great Redmi Note 10 Pro was running other like a charm thanks to lineage and the device maintainers (Daniel and Aryan), I personally could not invest time and cognitive capacity anymore. [...]
I have purchased the Redmi Note 10 Pro and while using it it started heating up for no reason and it's not like I was playing a game on it just a simple use and another thing the battery goes a bit fast while using it as well. [...] What I love about the phone is the stereo speakers they sound great! [...]
[...] But it has a real problem with the battery draining. It drains to fast without even using it and that makes me mad cause the 5020 mha is the main reason I bought it. [...]
[...] Never had any issues with the hotpot though, the heating issue I agree with.
Very well Explained. ... I'm using it Facing these Bugs but yes with Latest Updates it's bit smoother than Earlier ..
Bro App opening and fingerprint delay can be solved by Selecting to "No animations" either in Accessibility settings or in Developer options settings! And yes camera stabilization and heating problem might be solved in upcoming updates!👍 The only thing I didn't like about the Note 10 is that it has Gorilla glass 3 whereas the Note 9 had Gorilla glass 5!
[...] banking if they do not want to get into the cat and mouse game of magisk or trust shady indian enthusiast custom builds (like me because I am currently lazy/busy). (I am writing this on a Redmi note 10 with lineage 21)
Is the camera still okay? I had a phone before that the camera was only good at start but then when it lasted long, the quality became so low. I'm super cautious about this camera of my note 10 pro thinking it can happen the same on this phone again.
Hey bro are you using this in America. Which network do you use with it. I've been searching like crazy and I can't find a compatible network
