Upgrading to a new TV should be an exciting time, but it’s easier said than done. There are so many sizes and manufacturers to choose from that it can leave your head spinning. Beyond that, some TVs come with extras like an Amazon Fire TV or Chromecast built right in. Today we want to focus on a different battle, breaking down 4K vs 1080p to help you decide on your next TV resolution.

The Redmi Note series has long been considered one of the best budget phone families around, offering a quality mid-range experience at a very competitive price. Now, the company has announced the Redmi Note 10 series, and it looks to continue this tradition.
