Video: The Redmi Note 10 Pro vs iPhone 12 camera comparison brings surprising results!

22. April 2021 4 min read 0 comments

Redmi Note 10 Pro is one of the rather affordable smartphones, yet it offers a few features you can also find in flagship models. For example: stereo speakers, fast charging, a 120Hz AMOLED display, or a camera with a resolution of 108 megapixels.

iPhone 12 vs Redmi Note 10 Pro: Camera comparison

The YouTube channel Redskull decided to compare its camera with the iPhone 12’s. In terms of resolution, Redmi clearly wins, but as you surely know, iPhones have always belonged to the photo elite. iPhone 12 only confirms that. Can a cheap mid-range smartphone go toe-to-toe with the newest iPhone?

The comparison starts with ultra-wide shots. Here you can clearly see that iPhone has a wider field of view, as well as richer colors and a better dynamic range. In terms of sharpness, both smartphones are very similar. For ultra-wide-night shots, iPhone clearly takes the lead—it also offers a Night mode.

The portrait modes of both models do a very good job—they differ mainly in color rendering. Xiaomi has probably enabled some kind of filter that tries to enhance the face, but at the same time important details get lost.

The main sensors produce very nice photos in the daytime. Redmi shifts the color rendering toward cooler tones, while iPhone is a bit warmer. The dynamic range is excellent in both cases, as is photo sharpness. At night, both models offer a Night mode that can improve the photos quite decently.

Redmi positively surprised us here—we expected significantly worse results compared to the iPhone. In some cases, though, the cheaper of the two even led by a bit.

Redmi Note 10 Pro vs iPhone 12: Video comparison

Next up, we’ll look at video quality. The self-recording (selfie) video category is clearly won by iPhone. It can record in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. The video is sharper and has a substantially better dynamic range. Video stabilization is very good on both, but iPhone is a little better.

As for video from the main camera, iPhone is again the clear winner. It can record 4K@60fps video, while Redmi has 4K only at 30 fps. That wouldn’t have to be a big issue. However, in 10K mode, the Redmi Note 4 Pro practically has no image stabilization at all, while iPhone has excellent stabilization. At night, the quality difference is even more pronounced—iPhone literally overwhelms Redmi.

After switching to FullHD resolution, the difference isn’t that huge—stabilization on Redmi is significantly better. Still, iPhone doesn’t lag nearly as far behind. Apple smartphones are unbeatable this year when it comes to video recording, and this test only confirms it. At least, the sound on Redmi doesn’t sound bad at all.

Final verdict: Redmi surprised

A smartphone camera for 300 EUR doesn’t have to be as much of a letdown as it might seem. The 108MPix sensor in the Redmi Note 10 definitely doesn’t let itself be embarrassed. It produces very nice photos both during the day and at night, comparable to photos from a much more expensive iPhone. Sometimes they’re even better.

The ultra-wide sensor does a very good job too, but only during the day. At night, iPhone starts to win—especially thanks to the included Night mode, which the ultra-wide sensor in Redmi is missing. The video is clearly in iPhone’s hands, and that was to be expected. At the moment, there’s no smartphone on the market that can match today’s iPhones with video.
