DxOMark puts phones through a slew of camera tests giving an overall rating to the camera performance, as well as to individual aspects of the cameras. Its rankings show that the Redmi Note 10 Pro's 108-megapixel rear camera setup outperforms the iPhone SE (2020) in photo and zoom metrics. DxOMark measured the camera performance of the Redmi Note 10 Pro that launched globally as the Indian variant does not feature the 108-megapixel rear camera setup.

DxOMark's all-time smartphone rankings that rate the camera, selfie, audio, display, and battery performance show the global variant of Redmi Note 10 Pro has better camera performance compared to the iPhone SE (2020). The Redmi Note 10 Pro launched globally with a quad-rear camera setup headlined by a 108-megapixel primary sensor. In India, it was the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max that launched with this camera setup.
