Experts came to this conclusion DxOMark, who tested the Redmi Note 10 Pro camera. In their opinion, this smartphone can be called a balanced budget camera phone. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro doesn't rival most flagships in terms of camera quality, but it's a valuable proposition for mobile photographers on a budget.
It received an average score of 106 (111 points for photo capabilities and 95 points for video quality), and it is far from the top of the DxOMark ranking - it took 72nd place. But at the same time, it shoots better than the former flagships Oppo Find X2 Neo, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and iPhone SE (2020), and has the same score as the iPhone XS Max.
Among the strengths of the Redmi Note 10 Pro camera, experts noted the accuracy of the bokeh effect in portrait shots, a high level of detail with sufficient external lighting, and accurate exposure. Experts liked the good white balance and skin tone when shooting indoor videos, and the well-controlled video noise.
The shortcomings of the Redmi Note 10 Pro camera include a limited dynamic range when recording video, failures in autofocus, low detail when creating enlarged images, as well as halos in frames in motion. They also noted the often noticeable green tint in photos taken outdoors.
From the findings of DxOMark, we can say that the Redmi Note 10 Pro produces exactly the kind of shots that should be expected from a smartphone in its price range. The camera copes with its main task. It's good for taking photos and videos in good ambient light, and for creating blurry photos. But you should forget about high-quality photos and videos in the dark, as well as about zooming.
