This screen uses a 6.71-inch IPS LCD panel.  This display supports HD Plus resolution (1,650 x 720 pixels).KOMPAS.com/ Galuh Putri Riyanto Redmi 10C display in sunlight. This screen uses a 6.71-inch IPS LCD panel. This display supports HD Plus resolution (1,650 x 720 pixels).-One of the advantages that the Redmi 10C offers over the previous Redmi 10 series model is its larger screen.

Now, the Redmi 10C screen uses a 6.7-inch IPS LCD panel and supports HD Plus resolution (1,650 x 720 pixels). In comparison, the screens of the Redmi 10 and Redmi 10 2022 are only 6.5 inches.

The Redmi 10C’s large screen size has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages, for example, are that users can enjoy content, whether movies, games, or browsing on a wider screen on the Redmi 10C phone.

The drawback, the operation of the phone with one hand feels less comfortable. Because, the thumb of the right hand does not reach the application in the far left corner of the cellphone.

Nevertheless, in general, Redmi 10C is still comfortable to hold with one hand.

On paper, this latest entry-level phone from Xiaomi has dimensions of 169.59 mm in height, 76.56 mm in width, and 8.29 mm in thickness. Its weight is 190 grams.

The Redmi 10C screen is surrounded by a fairly thick bezel. This makes the body-to-screen ratio (screen-to-body ratio) to only 82 percent.

On the top side of the screen there are also waterdrop-shaped bangs that contain a 5 MP selfie camera (f/2.2).

New back design, striped

Xiaomi has also overhauled the back design of the Redmi 10C so that it is fresher. The reason is, now, the back of the Redmi 10C is decorated with a striped motif. The previous Redmi 10 model had a plain back, without any motifs.

In the upper left corner of the phone’s back there is also a fairly large square-shaped module. Inside, there is the “Redmi” brand and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Not only that, inside the large square module there is a smaller square module. The smaller module contains a 50 MP (f/1.8) main camera and a 2 MP (f/2.4) depth sensor, as well as an LED flash.

There are two rear cameras consisting of a 50 MP (f/1.8) main camera, a 2 MP (f/2.4) depth sensor camera and a fingerprint scanner.-For the back of the body, Redmi 10C uses plastic material with a matte finish, aka does not give a mirror effect.

Because it is made of plastic, the back of this phone is easily exposed to fingerprints. However, cleaning it is also easy, just wipe it with a cloth or tissue.

When rubbed, the back surface of the Redmi 10C feels quite too slippery so it is feared that it is prone to slipping out of the grip. Alternatively, users can use a softcase purchased independently.

Because, Xiaomi does not include a softcase complementary accessory in the Redmi 10C sales box.

To support its performance, Xiaomi provides Redmi 10C with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset which is designed with a 6nm fabrication process.

The chipset released in October 2021 relies on a Kryo 265 CPU with a clock speed of 2.4 GHz and an Adreno 610 GPU.
