This is a comparison for the audio quality and maximum volume between the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, one of the bests speaker phone ever produced, and the new Redmi K80 Ultra, the first smartphone in the world with a double coaxial symmetrical speakers.

Both these phones were made with special speakers, both with a record in this category upon their release, but 5 years of development in this sector pass between these two devices!


Let's take a look of the differences on paper:

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro:
It was one of the first smartphones to feature true symmetrical stereo sound, with two independent 1.2W RMS speakers, each housed in a 1.0cc acoustic chamber and using a 7-magnet linear system. It delivered perfectly balanced stereo, deep bass, and high sound clarity, with Hi-Res Audio certification. DxOMark ranked it as the best smartphone for audio quality in 2020.

Redmi K80 Ultra:
The Redmi K80 Ultra debuts industry first master‑level coaxial symmetrical dual speakers, each housing with woofer and tweeter drivers in a single unit, paired with an aviation grade lightweight dome and upgraded diaphragm. Each speaker is with 1.25cc acoustic chambers and Dolby Atmos support. The system extends high frequency response up to 20 kHz, with a 16 dB boost in high frequency sound pressure levels.


Unfortunately the audio quality in the video doesn't rend the reality of having these two phones in front of you, even if I've used two professional wireless microphones to capture the audio, because I can assure you that when the Redmi K80 Ultra was playing, the vibration and pressure of the audio was much louder and higher quality.


Of course the winner for me is hands down the Redmi, with a lot higher volume, a lot crispier high, better balanced medium, and lower and more powerful bass, all of this without any distortion.
The audio quality, and more important the maximum volume of this phone, blow my mind every time that I put some music, and some times is so high that I have to lower the volume even if I'm a big fan of listen music at high volume.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro was a beast for the time, and it's still better than a lot of phones that they sell today, even today flagship phones. Just try to imagine the Redmi quality at this point 😆.
