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.

Conclusion

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.
