Are you waiting for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 to be presented? This device has been seeing leaks of all kinds about its characteristics and design for a couple of weeks . Today we have very interesting news about this smartphone that will be launched in China and will probably see an international version. This news is interesting, but not necessarily good. What we know today about this device is not bad, but it lets us anticipate that it will not be a highly recommended smartphone. The reason? Another almost identical and cheaper smartphone that you probably already know.
The Redmi Note 10 will be a POCO X3 NFC with another name and 5G
Every time we know more details about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 we realize that it is a device very similar to the POCO X3 NFC just presented. Its design is almost identical, it has the same processor, the same amount of RAM, the same screen size and the same battery.
Today we know that the Redmi Note 10 will mount a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G, the same processor that includes the POCO X3 NFC. They will be almost identical smartphones and differ in small details. The biggest difference between these devices is the support for 5G networks. Yes, the next Redmi Note 10 will include a Snapdragon 732G and a modem that will allow it to connect to 5G networks.
The POCO X3 NFC is an inexpensive device that does not have 5G support, so Xiaomi wants to differentiate them in this detail and launch the most advanced in its own catalog. What about this? Most likely, the international version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 is more expensive than the current POCO X3 NFC.
Yes, you will have the ability to connect to 5G networks, but nowadays it is not a feature that most users look for on a smartphone. The POCO X3 is available this week for 199 euros ($ 234) in Spain. If the Redmi Note 10 maintains all the features and adds 5G with an extra modem, it is very likely that the price will be quite close to 300 euros.
Would you rather pay 199 euros and have 4G LTE or pay 270/300 euros and have 5G support? You have probably chosen the first option, something that almost all users will support. If the Redmi Note 10 arrives as a POCO X3 NFC renamed with 5G, it will not be worth buying, since 5G networks are still not necessary for 90% of users and that extra expense many will not be willing to pay.
What do you think about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 ? Do you think 5G is worth paying more for?
