redmi note 10 5g or the real me h5g which of these phones is the best they are super similar when you
look at the spec sheet both of them have 6.5 inch 90 hertz ips screens they both are powered by the
dimension 700 both of them have 5000 milliamp hour batteries 18 watt charging 48 megapixel cameras
so really what is the difference between them i will find out in this in-depth comparison with
some side-by-side tests camera comparison and just to let you know a little spoiler here that one of
them clearly is better than the other so build quality of both of these is very similar now
there is a difference in the weight but not too much of a difference we are looking at 186 grams
versus 191 with the real me so both of them have these plastic backs on them i prefer the finish
of the redmi i think the note 5g just a little better but it does tend to pick up a lot more
and show the fingerprints as you can see right now now with the roomie 8 5g it also does show
the fingerprints but not quite as bad and great to see there's no big deal to leap slogan on
the back of this one too so they both have the fingerprint readers on their sides here so that
is on the right side fingerprint readers there now thickness of them we are looking here at about
8.6 i think it is 8.6 millimeters this is about almost nine millimeters with the real me eight so
slightly thinner but really side by side you can almost barely tell that difference there
when looking at them so the frames are on the outside plastic when we take a look down here
at the bottom of both of them i've got the type c ports loudspeakers microphones and the 3.5
millimeter is down the bottom here of the real me and you'll find it up the top of the xiaomi
as well as the microphone here and an ir transmitter so the ir transmitter completely
missing the secondary mic on the top of the real m8 is not here either they've just done it with
the single mic on the bottom so if you want the best call quality that is the note 10 5g
uh you don't notice too much of a difference of it really and then the 3.5 millimeter quality is
actually better out of this one too but i'll get into more of the audio later let's have a look at
the fingerprint unlocking so both of them are reasonably quick so always on capacitive just
tap that there and it unlocks that was quick and you'll see it's slightly slower i have noticed on
the xiaomi quite a bit slower so i'll touch it now and you can see that difference so it is a
little slower and then the animation does make it look slower so with this one touch it now
yet definitely faster on the real me so the cameras on the back of them both here do have
the 48 megapixel sensors and then we have the two really kind of useless 2 megapixel cameras
on both of them so one is macro the others for depth information there are no ultra wide cameras
with these models here and i wish they would stop with this trend of just adding silly 2 megapixel
cameras which offer very poor quality low resolution photos would be better just giving us a
better main camera or just combine those two into one ultra wide camera it's far more useful and
a big difference with the sim tray setup so with the real me 8 5g we've got the two nano sims and a
micro sd card but with the xiaomi here so the note 10 5g we just have the two nano sims and if you
want to use a micro sd card you unfortunately have to give up on one of those nano sims and then our
screens here so both of them ips panels they both have rather large bezels and a bit of a chin at
the bottom and the cutouts in different locations it depends where you like it do you like to have
it centered right in the middle here this is an eight megapixel camera on the note 10 5g and a 16
megapixel one on the real me eight 5g and i'll get on to the cameras later on i will do a mini mini
camera comparison so side by side and i'll let you know which one i think has the best quality out of
these two ips panels on both of these and they're both average but there is a clear winner here
with the brightness so i'll just open up display test it's an application that i like to use for
both of my reviews and comparisons because well it just means we can look at the same images and
do a few little tests here so i've measured both of them of course they're both 90 hertz but the
brightness there's a huge difference i have 398 nits of brightness on the realme 8 5g and a very
disappointing 272 nits only on the redmi note 10 5g so it's a much duller display it's a lot
harder to make out in direct sunlight and this for me is a huge factor and later on the performance
of why i would go for the real me 85g and then touch response on both of these screens here
is pretty good for the type of phone they are not really having too much of an issue but i do find
i think touch response does feel better and come through a little faster their response and just
opening things up with the real me again a little quicker overall just always seems to be a little
bit faster to me so under display here we'll find we've got options for of course that refresh rate
and you can force both of them onto the 90 hertz which i'm currently running right now just to keep
everything a little bit faster i believe most people will be doing that you'd run the 90 hertz
that's what you've paid for really so refresh rate set on 90 and under more here you will find it set
to 90 hertz as well on the real me so both of these phones they do run android 11. we've got
realme uo2 and miui 12. both of them are on at the time of this video the latest firmware
updates and patches there is a clear difference in the performance to me the real me 8 is always
a little smoother and quicker no matter what i do recent apps and everything gestures it just seems
to work a little better i have noticed this that with the xiaomi especially when i use the note
10 5g i go back to the realme 85g it just feels clearly to me far superior in the rom optimization
and performance i see more animation judders and stutter coming through microstatus on the
xiaomi again and it's just again all optimization there so if you want the faster feeling and in use
mobile definitely the real me and it does excel in our battery life so you can see here now i
calibrated both of these screens to 200 nits of brightness and the battery test ran from 100 down
to 20 to give us the result you're looking at here so it's a fixed battery life test and there's a
huge difference in the battery life performance so both of these phones for most people will still be
well with the xiaomi should be about two days and definitely two days with the real me eight for me
now i have noticed that with the standby on both of these that with 5g the standby drain doesn't
seem to be great but it is worse on the xiaomi again seems to learn lose a little bit more charge
time on both of them you are looking at just under 2 hours about 150 minutes to charge the 5 000
milliamp hour batteries both have the 18 watt charging gps on the both of both of them here is
good they get good accuracy but i've noticed that the real me 8 has always a better average signal
strength and always seems to lock on to normally about two or three satellites more so i would rate
it as marginally better gps and this was both down side by side and you can see the slight difference
there it's not really much and i wouldn't focus too much on that now if you must have the fastest
wireless again there is a big difference here it's probably down to design of the antennas or just
software but you can see at the spot one here closest to my router meters per second versus 143
and even at the lowest point here where i test downstairs i was getting better speeds
out of the real me so superior speed and just pretty much everything coming through now with the
real me it also has the camera to api level three support which is what we want that's the maximum
level for third-party camera applications we get full support only on the xiaomi which is still
okay but ideally level three would be better both of them do have a security level one which is good
to see and expected so you can run amazon prime video netflix and things like that and then there
is a difference here in the antutu score so this is n22 version 8 and 35 000 point difference here
and i do actually see this difference when using the phones the real me 8 just seems to feel most
of the time a lot quicker when i'm using it and here we have the internal storage speeds so the
xiaomi gets a win here because it does have ufs 2.2 versus ufs 2.1 so you can see the sequential
and the random reason writes there they are just slightly higher but i wouldn't focus too much on
this because again in general use real world use the phone that feels the fastest is clear to me
that is the real me eight and let's take a look at bloatware so both of them have a lot of bloatware
on them and i noticed that there was a lot more in the shower me so the xiaomi has about 25 what i
would consider garbage bloatware applications that you can quickly uninstall i know but i still like
to point this out the roomy has about 15 bloatware apps so both of them not good in this department
they cram a lot of junk on there that you probably just need to spend 30 minutes going through or
20 minutes uninstalling everything there however with the real me it doesn't have system apps with
advertising in them which sadly the xiaomi does so when i installed antutu it gave me this advert and
i know that there's a way to disable this but i'm reviewing these phones out of the box no tweaks no
changes how they are when you just power them on and you will have the advertisements with the
xiaomi and in the realme phone at least with this european rom version i haven't seen any in-app ads
audio quality so testing out the 3.5 millimeter output on both of these phones it's close but i do
have to give the win there to the analog audio out to the xiaomi so the note 105g sounds a little bit
better to me to my ears now the loudspeaker so both of them have the single downwards
loudspeakers at the bottom here so there is no loudspeaker at the top so we don't get the dual
loudspeakers not at this price range it's a shame that they don't have it both for the speakers uh
average kind of quality they both sound very very similar so i'll play them now at a hundred percent
and let me know if you can pick up on any differences to me they really sound the same
so i have to pick a winner right so i think the real me 8 is just
fraction louder slightly louder than the note 10 5gs loudspeaker both of these models also do have
nfc so if you need to use something like your google pay or your pay services banking things
with nfc it's there both pass our safety net check gaming performance between them both
is very very similar here with pubg so what i did is i used the smooth graphics setting and
that gave me the ultra setting for the frames per second and both of them seem to be really
the same so one time it would be 39 frames per second on the real me and then 41 on the xiaomi
and then it would swap around so really i'd have to call it about equal with the gaming performance
moving over to the cameras now these two phones you can see a big difference with front facing
quality here with video footage we have electronic image stabilization with the xiaomi but with the
real me we don't so it's shaking around all over the place and says i walk up these steps here that
it does shake around a bit and more usable footage definitely to me on the redmi note 10 5g because
it's smoother even though it does crop in quite a bit closer so as i jog up these stairs that real
me is shaking all over the place here with video we just have 1080p on both of these phones here so
there's no 4k option and the quality for the price of these phones for 1080p is okay it's not too bad
and we do have electronic image stabilization he says i pan around it seems that the xiaomi
has a little bit the note 105g has a little bit more of a panning jutter
but let me know in the comments which one do you think for video performance performs the best here
so
so the difference here with the camera is that the stills for me look better on the real me 8 5g
but the video was slightly better on this one here so the note 10 5g has the better video
quality it has the slightly marginally better 3.5 millimeter output to my ears
and it has slightly faster storage but really this one dominated the roomy 8 5g
just better really at everything else and the most important aspects like the ui speed and the
screen the screen is so much brighter photos look a little better performance in general just it's
day and night and even gaming the frame rate difference there with pubg was surprising quite
a bit different so it's down to optimization and well with firmware updates things could improve on
both of these so let's hope that the manufacturers do push out some updates to improve in some of
those areas like the wi-fi performance and other things with the note 10 but yes clearly this to me
is the winner the roomy 8 5g is the phone i would get out of these two so thank you so
much for watching this in-depth comparison i hope you did like it if it was useful please give a
thumbs up and do subscribe for more up-and-coming videos from me and i will see you in the next one
