Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 vs. Oppo A93

The Oppo A93 features the Android 10 operating system, while the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 comes with the new Android 11 operating system.

Android 11 Pie gives you a better experience than smartphones running on older android versions.

Smartphones running on Android 11 have a better and more reliable security system and a night mode system for nocturnal smartphone users.

A key similarity worth noting is the Snapdragon Octa-core processor that powers both the Oppo A93 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 10.

This means that both smartphones provide highly intelligent experiences for excellent mobile gaming, amazing camera capabilities, and brilliant security-rich performance.

The Snapdragon processor ensures efficient power usage for both smartphones.

It also ensures that users enjoy a long-lasting battery life and rapid charging powered by the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology.

Display

A tiny screen becomes a big inconvenience when browsing the internet.

On the other hand, the new Oppo A93 features a 6.5″ waterdrop display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels.

It’s therefore apparent that Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 has a sharper, crisper screen, with around 119% more pixels than OPPO A93, both available in Kenya.

A similarity worth noting is that both smartphones feature a notch on top of the screen.

A notch is a new method of increasing the surface area of the display, without interfering with the camera and other sensors.

A slight difference with the implementation of the notch. The new Oppo A93 features a waterdrop notch, while Redmi Note 10 will come with a dot (circular) notch.

RAM and Internal Memory

Both Oppo A93 and Redmi Note 10 come with 4GB RAM. Ideally, you would expect almost the same speeds when loading apps on both smartphones.

The two smartphones have the same internal memory (128GB), with expansion slots that will accommodate an extra 256GB.

RAM and internal storage features are therefore not going to tilt the scale either way.

Camera

Smartphone cameras can be good. And that’s what everyone is looking for.

Both the Oppo A93 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 come with a brilliant 48MP rear camera. More megapixels generally mean better picture quality.

On top of this, both OPPO A93 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 have an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, probably making them smarter than any mid-range smartphone in Kenya.

On the other hand, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 features a 13MP selfie camera, quite impressive compared to other smartphones in Kenya of the same price range.
