Best Xiaomi Phone 2021

1. The Redmi Note 10 Pro

At just S$369, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is one of the best value smartphones you can get in 2020. Combining an amazing camera system, an outstanding display, stellar battery performance and fast charging capabilities, and some great performance overall, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is easily a value champion.

Pros	Cons
Fantastic value performance Flagship-level 120Hz OLED display Top-notch camera system Extra large two-day battery	No 5G Capability Video Stabilization is lacking.

Key Features

• The 6.67” AMOLED 120Hz display is the best in its class.
• Gorilla Glass 5 build is premium and durable with IP53 rated protection.
• Camera performance punches way above its pay-grade.
• Gaming-optimized Snapdragon 732G SoC offers superior performance.
• The large 5,020 mAh can get you as much as 20 hours of screen-on time.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Review

Xiaomi’s made a name for itself as a brand that offers great value for price across many of their product lines, but they’ve taken it even further with the Redmi Note 10 Pro – arguably one of the best-value smartphones ever.

For example, you wouldn’t expect a sub-S$400 smartphone to come with a premium Gorilla Glass 5 front and black but the Redmi Note 10 Pro does. The smartphone also comes with IP53 water and dust protection, a powerful dual speaker stereo system, a gigantic 5,020 mAh battery, and 33W fast charging that can give you up to two whole days of battery life after just an hour and a half plugged in.

In terms of performance, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is smooth, fast, and powerful. The gaming-optimized Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chipset offers a great, mid-range, middle ground between performance and power-efficiency, so it’s great for games and other demanding apps – especially on its silky and vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display. The camera system is fantastic, too, with the same kind of hardware you’d expect from a modern flagship – 108 mp main camera, 8 mp ultrawide, 5 mp telemacro, and a 2 mp depth sensor. Plus, Xiaomi’s advanced computational photography features make the camera system even better. It even comes with flagship features like an enhanced night mode for better low-light photography, long exposure mode for some unique creative shots, dual video, pro time lapse, and more.

With all of the great features we loved about the Redmi Note 10 Pro – from the amazing battery life to the best camera system you can find in this price range (or even a few price brackets higher) – the Redmi Note 10 Pro has very few faults, at least from our viewpoint. The camera lacks video stabilization features, but you can rectify that by getting an action cam if you really need smooth, stable video when you’re running around, and the lack of 5G connectivity won’t even be a problem for at least a year or two while the world’s still operating happily on LTE networks. From where we’re standing, that’s a lot of pros for the Redmi Note 10 Pro, and at this price point, barely any cons at all.

Apple iPhone vs Xiaomi Phones

Are Xiaomi phones better than Apple phones?

The right answer is no. Xiaomi phones aren’t meant to compete with Apple iPhones. 

What aspects are iPhones better than Xiaomi phones?

Apple’s iPhones are better than Xiaomi’s in the following aspects

Software
Apple’s iOS software is much much better than Xiaomi’s MIUI. The MIUI is bloated and has a lot of firmware and bloatware added to it that you cannot delete. Apple’s iOS is more intuitive, user friendly and blazing fast.

Hardware
Apple’s hardware is a tad better than Xiaomi’s hardware. They use a glass finish with aluminum, whereas Xiaomi uses a lot of plastic for the cheap models and uses glass and aluminum for the premium models which is good.

Chipset
Apple’s chipset is their own and it works beautifully with the hardware, whereas Xiaomi’s chipsets are mostly others like Snapdragon among others. In this department, Apple is a tad better.

Camera
Apple’s cameras are unmatched. The megapixel count may be less, but the quality of the camera and the software running it is unmatched. The Mi Note 10 has an incredible camera which might come close to Apple’s camera.

Battery
Apple’s battery life keeps getting better and better. Xiaomi’s certain phones have good batteries while some others like the K20 have known battery issues.

However, there are exceptions.
While Xiaomi’s space is the mid-range market. It does have a flagship model that can go toe to toe with Apple’s latest iPhone 11.
The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is an absolute beast of a phone that has more or less the same features as the iPhone 11. It takes the cake as it provides a customizable user interface and as its half iPhone 11’s price.
