Just sold my 10 pro and moved to the Pixel 7. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is a great device. I will miss the SD card slot and dual nano SIM capabilities. The Redmi has a great camera but the Pixel is outstanding as is the software. I always had bugs in the Redmi software (4k video recording crashed the camera app after the last update). Battery life is good on the Pixel but seemed slightly better on the Redmi. The Pixel battery life is improving each day as the machine learning (adaptive battery feature) is optimizing, and so it might yet beat the Readme. I'm still using dual networks on the Pixel via Nano-SIM and eSIM. I had to use the Vodafone hack to get Voxi onto the eSIM though. Software updates are slow in coming to the Redmi but I've had two updates in the last week on the Pixel! One security update and one feature update. I got the Pixel 7 for £280 from a second-hand chain with a 12-month warranty. It's in excellent condition. I sold the Redmi Note 10 pro for £150 also in great condition (sold as seen). A week in and I have no regrets in moving from the Redmi to the Pixel.

I paid £149 for my redmi 10pro, Google Pixel 7 is priced from £599 for a smartphone without even an SD card slot. No contest.
