Redmi 10 is a budget range decent looking smartphone with good specifications, features required to perform daily tasks, satisfy your all online-work needs. Available under Rs 11,000 (10,999) approx, the smartphone is equipped with all functionality required to do your daily tasks such as checking mails, attend online meetings, productivity, playing music or binge watching. 

Display and screen experience

The screen size is good, from playing games, movies, checking mails or attend online meetings. Honestly, the phone doesn't feel that good or soothing in hands when used continuously. The touch is good, but not great since its not fluent across applications. 

The screen-size is too big but hey that's normal.

Looks to disappoint

Personally, the design is not complementing. The sides are sleek but the top and bottom ends are slightly bulky with long inwards bumb. Its not purely rectangle shape phone nor it matches previouosly designed models following iPhone-like designs even in the budget range. So looks are going to be a disappointment except the rear camera panel which appears to be premium.

Also, the touch sensor is included into the camera panel, so it's kind of an ease to unlock your phone. 

Camera performance

With 50-MP primary camera, the photo captures are decent but not great. You say its a 50 MP camera but when you see clicked photos, they don't reflect that quality. 

The camera shoots fine photos in good lighting conditions but not in low light. Zoom quality is good while selfie shooter performance is also satisfactory.

Redmi 10 as entertainment hub

As far as the phone's performancce is considered with respect to it being an entertainment hub, then one wouldn't be disappointment. The screen size is big, video quality is decent, runs all applications fluently whether prime video, Netflix among all popular ones.

Plus it has a headphone jack. 

Conclusion

In Rs 10,999, the phone comes with 4GB+64GB ram and internal storage, expandable memory, dual sim, headphone jack, 50 MP+1.82MP Portrait+f/2.4Rear video recording+5 MP front camera setup and you can't ask for more. It's an entry level smartphone and everything is justified from performance to design to user experience in the given price segment. 

One can do all required phone dependent tasks, basic minimum multimedia and productivity work like editing photos, videos using various apps and offcourse online meetings. 

On entertainment front, the smartphone will not disappoint you. 

So those whose are looking for their first smartphone and don't want to shed extra money, it can serve your all needs.
