Battery Performance Testing and Review – May 2021

Being part of the Xiaomi Redmi Note family, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro comes in 2021 as the evolved version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, launched by the brand in 2020. The main updates for the 2021 version are oriented to the design and camera.

Release Date: March 2021

Product Features and Specification

With a price of around 300 EURO, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is classed as a

Mid Tier Smartphone within the ViserMark ranking classification (smartphones priced between 200-500 EURO). The Qualcomm SM7150 Snapdragon 732G processor is the heart of the smartphone, giving all the main features except one 5G connectivity. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 5020mAh battery, as Xiaomi chose, with a large enough battery capacity to ensure enough autonomy.

The overall Battery Performance Score is now a global score taking calculations from Battery Life, Power Efficiency and Charging Times.

From the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro test results, we gave this Smartphone a ViserMark score of 46. The Battery Performance Label indicates this is a mid-way score and ranked 49th among the best Battery Performance Smartphones tested by SmartViser.

Testing Results

BATTERY LIFE - Days of Use

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Smartphone has a battery life autonomy of around 52 hours when tested using our ViserMark test protocol.

With a 60 Hz refreshing rate, this Smartphone obtained a Battery Life score of 2 Days of Use.

The average ViserMark Battery Performance score of Mid Tier smartphones is 2 Days, which positions the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Smartphone in the middle of the ViserMark raking table.

CHARGING TIME - Hours and Minutes

The charging time was 1 hour and 17 minutes with the 33W fast charge option. Xiaomi advertised 59% in 30 minutes of charging time.

Our testing is based on smartphone usage from 100% battery level down to Power Off. When testing Smartphones, the testing protocol includes everyday life activities, for instance, Calls, Web, Video and Music streaming, Gaming, Social networks, Picture and video capture and standby.

All testing is performed under strictly controlled test conditions and executed in a defined order and timeline.

Several power-efficient smartphone processors can cope with the growing number of new applications and support high-resolution displays without compromising battery life.

Power Efficiency is calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity. This is expressed in “Leaves" and reflects a rating between 1 being the least and 5 being the most power-efficient.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Smartphone achieved an overall Power Efficiency Score of 1, making it into the lower parts of the most Power Efficiency Smartphones within the Mid Tier.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro achieved a score of 46. This positions this smartphone slightly in front of other Mid Tier smartphones like the Oppo Reno 4 5G (44) and the Sony L4 (45).

While testing and analysing our findings, we compared the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro's performance with other Mid Tier smartphones of similar battery size. Unfortunately, our results positioned this Smartphone in the last position of our Battery Performance Mid Tier ranking. Having only a score of 46, this is considerably lower in Battery Performance than other smartphones like the Wiko View 5 Plus (68), Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (54), and OPPO A9 2020 (51).

In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Battery Performance test results are far from our expectations. So, Xiaomi has much to aim for in 2021 to improve battery life autonomy for forthcoming smartphones.

ViserMark tests are performed with the strictest protocol in a controlled environment to ensure repetition and consistency. They are powered and automated by SmartViser’s test automation solution viSer. The automation test includes a variety of user actions, from calls to social media and periods of standby times.
