And it’s time to compare two smartphones that promise to be the best investment of the year, the Galaxy A72 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro!
Follow our comparative to find out which one is really the best value:
Galaxy A72: design and construction
With a completely plastic construction, which has a great matte finish, the Galaxy A72 weighs just 0,447 lbs.
It carries a large 6.7 inch screen, a set of 4 cameras, and even has a 3.5mm output for conventional headphones.
In addition to having Gorilla Glass 5, it has excellent waterproof protection by ip67 that ensures that the smartphone can be submerged in 328 ft for up to 30min.
Unfortunately, it comes with a hybrid drawer that doesn’t allow the use of two chips, however we’ve expanded the smartphone’s memory.
Redmi Note 10 Pro: design and construction
The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a plastic frame that features an amazing glass finish. Despite this, it only weighs 0,425 lbs.
This model has a 6.67 inch screen, a set of 4 cameras, and also has a 3.5mm output for headphones.
The Note 10 Pro has Gorilla Glass 5 protection against falls and scratches and, as a bonus, it carries IP53 protection for splashing water.
Despite being a great evolution, this protection is much lower than the competitor.
Fortunately, its card drawer isn’t hybrid, so we can use two chips while expanding the smartphone’s memory.
