We would not say that Redmi Note 10T 5G is the lightest phone in this segment but the weight distribution of this phone is quite appreciable. Also, if you were looking for a 3.5mm headphone jack in this segment, this phone is a perfect choice. You also get Redmi’s signature feature besides the headphone jack which is an IR blaster. You also get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the power button which works flawlessly most of the time.  

Display

Redmi Note 10T 5G comes with a Full HD+ IPS LCD display which is a downgrade from other smartphones in the Redmi Note 10 series. However, there is a lot in the display section so let us talk about that. You get a 90Hz Adaptive Sync Refresh Rate on the Redmi Note 10T 5G which works buttery smooth and yet is power efficient. The screen refresh rate keeps switching between 50Hz, 60Hz and 90Hz depending on the activities of the phone like gaming, watching videos or daily usage. This makes efficient use of the battery because using a 90Hz refresh all the time can consume almost double the battery power.

Along with MediaTek Dimensity 700, you get an Integrated 5G Modem in Redmi Note 10T 5G.
