Redmi 10 Prime: Specifications

Starting off with the design, Redmi 10 Prime features a polycarbonate back with a huge camera module that looks similar to the Redmi Note 10 series. On the front, you have a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz Adaptive refresh rate. That means the screen can intelligently switch between 45Hz, 60Hz, and 90Hz, depending on what’s on your screen. The display has a 2400 x 1080 resolution, Gorilla glass 3 protection, and a centered 8MP punch-hole selfie camera.
Under the hood, the Redmi 10 Prime is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset that was announced recently. It is a step up from the Helio G80 chipset found on its predecessor. You also have up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128GB of eMMC storage onboard, paired with a dedicated microSD card slot. You can expand the storage up to 512GB. The device runs Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 out-of-the-box. Moreover, Xiaomi is following the lead of other popular Chinese phone makers to add a “memory expansion” feature to offer virtual RAM to users. You will get 1GB of virtual RAM on the 4GB+64GB variant and 2GB of virtual RAM on the 6GB+128GB variant. The device has a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Coming to the cameras, Xiaomi is offering a 50MP f/1.8 primary sensor, along wth an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree FOV, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Redmi 10 Prime supports up to 1080p @ 30FPS video recording.
Finally, let’s talk about the battery and charging capabilities. This is the one department where the Redmi 10 Prime differs from the global variant. It offers a 6,000mAh battery pack, bigger than the 5,020mAh battery pack on the Redmi 9 Prime. The device supports 18W fast-charging (but you get a 22.5W adapater in the box) and 9W reverse wireless charging.
So yeah, that’s pretty much everything you need to know about this budget-centric smartphone. The upcoming Realme 8i with MediaTek Helio G96 could stack up well against this device. So, stay tuned for more information.
