Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Max review: Hard-to-beat phone in midrange segment
On several occasions, Xiaomi has set the
precedent in India’s price-conscious smartphone market with its value-for-money
offerings. And that legacy seems to continue in the recently-launched Redmi
Note 10 Pro Max. Though a midrange smartphone by pricing (Rs 18,999 onwards),
it has the qualities to beat some of the premium flagships of the present time.
This top-end model in the Redmi Note 10 series is packed to the brim with
premium features, and that makes it a hard-to-beat smartphone in the midrange
segment.
For many reasons, the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max might be the next best
thing from the stable of Xiaomi since the Poco F1 (review).
Let’s see why:
Xiaomi is
not known to be a master at designing smartphones, but that seems to have
changed with the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. Unlike most other Xiaomi smartphones,
the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is neither thick (8.1mm) nor heavy in weight (192g)
or bulky. Instead, the smartphone has fine ergonomics for comfortable use and a
good in-hand feel. Accentuating the design is the new ‘Evol’-themed frosted
glass on the back with a gradient texture on the ‘Vintage Bronze’ colour and a
classic glossy profile on the ‘Dark Night’ colour variant. While Xiaomi has
fixed most things in its new design language, there still remains a camera bump
on the back that protrudes a bit from the frame, despite being placed in a
cleverly implemented dual-slab module. That said, the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is
not the phone you can use without facing any discomfort while it rests flat on
a surface like table top simply because it wobbles a lot.
