I'm using the Redmi 10, which is based on the Snapdragon 680. The performance is top-notch with apps, phone calls, WhatsApp, and moderate YouTube watching. Surprisingly, I'm getting three days of battery life, which I'd never imagined. This could be attributed to its excellent low-power design capabilities. Moreover, the Redmi 10 is equipped with a 6000mAh battery.
