Price

Starting with the prices of these two smartphones, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is more affordable. The 6 GB RAM + 128 GB internal storage variant will cost you $299. And to get the highest variant of 8GB + 256GB internal storage, you’ll need to spend a little more.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy A52 on the other hand is more expensive here. It will cost you $310 for the 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. There is also an 8 GB RAM variant that will cost you a little more.

However, in overall, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is more budget friendly. But does it offer the best value as well? Let’s get to see.

Design and Durability

The Samsung Galaxy A52 has IP67 rating (water and dust resistant) and the front display is protected by corning gorilla glass 5. While the Redmi Note 10 Pro has corning gorilla glass 5 protection back and front but can get damaged by water.

The Samsung Galaxy A52 wins the best design for its durability. Normally, IP67 rating is a feature we see only in flagship smartphones. But it’s a good thing that Samsung has brought introduced in for their midrange smartphones.

Camera

The Redmi Note 10 Pro is equipped with the 108MP f/1.9 Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor, which adds 9 pixels into 1 for a 12MP images. That’s joined by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera, a 5MP f/2.4 tele-macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera has a 16MP sensor and an f/2.45 lens. It is an impressive camera set up but there are some vital features missing too.

While the Samsung Galaxy A52 has 64 MP primary camera + 12 MP ultrawide lens + 5MP depth sensor and 5 MP macro lens. The selfie camera is 32 MP. However, there are certain unique features that made the Galaxy A52 camera better.

Firstly, the Galaxy A52 has an Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). This helps to improve quality in photography and videography.
Secondly, Its Night Mode shoots 12 frames and combines them into one bright image with little noise. The OIS helps keeps things stable while Night Mode is doing its thing. 

So while it is true that both can record video in 4k resolution, but in overall the Galaxy A52 camera is better here because of its advance feature like the OIS.

Display

The display quality of these two smartphones are the same (Super AMOLED panel). However, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has a bigger screen of 6.67-inch FHD+ resolution with 120Hz refresh rate enabled. Also it has a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Which is higher than that of Samsung Galaxy A52

The Galaxy A52 screen is really compact with 6.5″ FHD+ screen and a 90 Hz refresh rate enabled. But I prefer the Redmi Note 10 Pro display. It is bigger and has the highest refresh rate and brightness.

Another thing to note here is that the Galaxy A52 display has under-display fingerprint scanner, while the Redmi Note 10 Pro has side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Chipset/Processor | Gaming

Samsung Galaxy A52 is powered by the Snapdragon 720G chipset. This is a dedicated gaming chip that can handle intensive gaming so well to a reasonable extent. Thanks to the Adreno 618 GPU. Moreover it doesn’t get hitted up unnecessarily like MediaTek and Exynos chipsets do.

However the Redmi Note 10 Pro is powered by the newly released Snapdragon 732G chip. Which has a CPU that performs slightly better than the Snapdragon 720G chipset. While the GPU Adreno 618 remains the same. Both chips are cool but I’d prefer the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s Snapdragon 732G anytime.

Software: Samsung Galaxy A52 vs Redmi Note 10 Pro

Samsung Galaxy A52 runs Android 11 out of the box. And Samsung has promised 3 years of software updates for its new Galaxy smartphones. So yeah, the A52 will get software updates upto Android 14 (2024).

Why that is that for Samsung, Xiaomi don’t lag behind either when it comes to software updates. The Redmi Note 10 Pro runs Android 11 that is based on Xiaomi’s skin software MIUI 12 out of the box. And regular OS update is sure for the next couple of years. So yeah, both devices software are good to go with.
