The specs, features, and design of the Infinix Note 10 Pro are the reason why this device is still the best when you look for a phone in this price range.

The first difference is in screen size (6.95” VS 6.78”). The next big difference is the camera (64 MP VS 48 MP main sensor, Quad vs Triple camera setup).

It can record videos for up to 4K@30fps.This device also has a pretty impressive 44 MP selfie camera that can shoot 1080p videos up to 120fps.

When we talk about premium android phones, no one can ignore Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. As its name suggests, it can be folded vertically which is rare in the mobile phone industry.

However, its video recording is outstanding with the 4K video option and the ability to record videos in 720P@960fps. The 10 MP selfie camera is also inappropriate for this price range.
