All four units sport AMOLED dot displays with Full HD+ resolution except for the 5G model which has IPS. The Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10S have a 6.43-inch, while Redmi Note 10 5G has a 6.5-inch size. The Redmi Note 10 Pro has the largest screen at 6.67-inch.
The Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 5G are the ones to pick if you want a high refresh rate. The Pro model has up to 120Hz refresh rate, while the 5G model has up to 90Hz AdaptiveSync.
When it comes to protection, all are equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 except for the Redmi Note 10 Pro with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Different chipsets from Qualcomm and MediaTek power the four devices. The Redmi Note 10 has the Snapdragon 678 with Adreno 612 GPU; the Redmi Note 10S has the Helio G95 with Mali-G76 MC4 GPU; the Redmi Note 10 Pro has the Snapdragon 732GB with Adreno 618 GPU; while the Redmi Note 10 5G has the Dimensity 700 with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. These are good-performing chipsets and capable of handling a wide range of tasks, including gaming.
However, it isn’t easy to compare their performance without benchmarks, so we’ll have to wait until we have our hands on all four units.
The four devices offer RAM capacities ranging from 4GB to 8GB. The Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 5G are available in 4GB and 6GB capacities, while the Redmi Note 10S and Redmi Note 10 Pro are available in 6GB and 8GB.
Storage-wise, they all come in 64GB and 128GB options with dedicated microSD card slots.
All four devices are equipped with quad-rear cameras except for the Redmi Note 10 5G with a triple rear camera setup. The Redmi Note 10 Pro has the most powerful camera setup, having a 108MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP telemacro, and 2MP depth. The Redmi Note 10S comes second with its 64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth. Ranking third is the Redmi Note 10 with its 48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth. The Redmi Note 10 5G comes in last with its 48MP main, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth. No ultra-wide camera here.
When it comes to selfies, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has the highest resolution at 16MP, the Redmi Note 10 and 10S comes second with 13MP. The 5G model has the lowest resolution at 8MP.
Do note, however, that we’re just comparing pixel count, which doesn’t always guarantee the best quality. We’ll know more about their camera performance once we have all the units for review.
All three phones are packed with the usual connectivity features such as Dual-SIM, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, SatNav systems, USB-C, IR blaster, fingerprint scanners, and 3.5mm audio jack.
However, the Redmi Note 10 5G doesn’t have dual-speakers and IP53 splash resistance, which are present on other Redmi Note 10 devices.
However, the Redmi Note 10 5G features 5G connectivity, which the other devices lack. So, if 5G connectivity is a must, this is the only model you can choose.
The Redmi Note 10, 10S, and 10 5G are equipped with a 5,000mAh battery but with varying fast charging rates. The 10 and 10S have 33W, while the 5G has 18W.
The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a slightly higher battery capacity at 5,020mAh with a 33W fast charging.
So far, only the Redmi Note 10 is priced in the Philippines. PHP 8,490USD 145INR 12,265EUR 138CNY 1,054 for the 4GB + 64GB, and PHP 9,990USD 170INR 14,432EUR 162CNY 1,240 for the 6GB + 128GB.

As for the Redmi Note 10S and Redmi Note 10 5G, we’ll still have to wait.
