Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro — Review & Full Phone Specifications
the mi 10 t pro is one of the latest phones from xiaomi and it’s quite a different device from both its predecessor the mi 9t pro and the other me 10 models that came out this year so what’s the deal with this one let’s find out in our full review the me 10t pro is a flagship grade phone made of premium materials it’s covered in gorilla glass 5 on the front and the back and the rounded frame is made from aluminum
the back is slightly curved and feels comfortable and secure in the hand our 10t pro is in the cosmic black finish which seems more like a shade of grey it’s super glossy and shiny almost mirror-like and fingerprints and smudges are quite visible here on the front is a tall 6.67 inch display with a 1080p resolution unlike the other mi 10 models this one is an LCD not an OLED and while last year’s me 9t pro kept its selfie cam hidden with a pop-up mechanism this year’s model houses it within a visible punch hole as is the case with LCDS there is some noticeable backlight blade around the punch hole
if there is something white on screen but even with these arguable downsides this display is pretty awesome it’s the first on a xiaomi device with a super fast 144hz refresh rate so swiping the interface or scrolling content looks smoother than ever before the refresh rate is adaptive to the content on screen and can go as low as 30 hertz to match it it’s really successful at syncing this up and is one of the best implementations we’ve seen in fact this LCD is one of the best out there
it has great contrast and though as blacks aren’t as deep as an OLED could produce they’re still quite dark max brightness is great too up to 500 nits with a slider and it can reach 630 nits maximum in auto mode when in bright conditions colors aren’t too accurate to certain color spaces but can be made to be acceptable if you tweak them in settings finally we have to mention the memc feature something also found on modern tvs it has additional motion smoothness to lower fps content by inserting extra frames
as far as audio goes you get a pair of stereo speakers one sits at the bottom and the earpiece acts as the second speaker it’s well balanced the top speaker is just as loud as the bottom one and vocals sound clear bass is lacking though and loudness isn’t too impressive there is no 3.5 millimeter jack on the mi 10t pro but there is an adapter included in the box with it you can plug traditional headphones into the USB-C port and like the other mi 10 models storage isn’t expandable here but you do get 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage on board for unlocking the phone there is a side mounted fingerprint reader rather than an under display one it doubles as the power button and is extremely fast and responsive
Features of the Xiaomi Mi 10t Pro
And if you’re tired of accidental touches causing misreads and locking the fingerprint scanner you can make it so you need to actually press down the button to use it another thing that deserves some praise here is the me 10t pro’s haptic feedback system it’s very precise and strong if it needs to be and you have full control over it with a slider in settings the mi 10t pro runs the latest Xiaomi interface MIUI 12 over android 10.
it’s a bit different from previous MIUI you can opt to split the notification shade into two parts swiping from the upper left corner will show you all of your notifications while swiping on the opposite side will open the control center with your options and toggles you can choose to keep all of your apps on the home screen or within an app drawer the drawer itself will automatically organize your apps into categories and there’s a new feature called clear speaker which plays the sound at the maximum level for 30 seconds you can use this
if you find the speaker jammed with dust or water at the heart of the mi 10t pro is a flagship grade snapdragon 865 chipset performance is excellent and you get 5g connectivity too while it might not be as chart-topping as the newer snapdragon 865 plus the 865 still holds its own and you wouldn’t be disappointed here whether you’re performing some everyday tasks or something intensive like gaming the me 10t pro has a sizable 5 000 milliamp hour battery
and along with that it seems the adaptive refresh rate does a nice job to help save energy overall the mi 10t pro scored an excellent 118 hour endurance rating in our battery life tests charging is quite fast too the phone comes bundled with a 33 watt power delivery charger and with it we were able to go from a dead battery to 61 percent in half an hour
Camera Features of the Xiaomi Mi 10t Pro
the xiaomi mi 10 t pro has three cameras on the back a 108 megapixel quad bayer main cam with OIS a 13 megapixel ultra wide angle cam and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus for taking macro shots the main camera bins pixels 4 and 1 but for some reason the photos come out at 25 megapixels not 27. regardless in good light these are great with quite a lot of fine detail natural looking colors good sharpness and wide dynamic range you can take photos in the native 108 megapixel resolution
but these aren’t impressive there’s noticeably more noise and not much improvement in detail zooming is done digitally there is a loss of detail and sharpness here since the photos are cropped and then upscaled you definitely miss the advanced telephoto cameras you’d find on the other me 10 models portraits are taken with the main cam but come out in 12 megapixels detail is good and the edge detection does an okay job however from time to time you’ll notice some fine detail blurred out around the subject
the ultrawide camera’s 13 megapixel photos are okay but we’re not too impressed colors are nice looking and the distortion correction works well but these are a bit soft and lacking in detail especially in grass and foliage dynamic range is rather narrow as well as far as the macro cam goes thes results are a pleasant surprise the autofocus helps a lot and the amount of detail and sharpness is impressive for a five megapixel sensor in low light shots from the main cam are nice sharpness is decent contrast is good and noise is minimal plus
the dynamic range is quite wide highlights are rarely clipped here turning on night mode improves the quality quite a bit it brings out more detail from the shadows and any clipped areas around light sources are gone subjects look sharper while colors and contrast remain about the same nighttime shots from the ultra wide camera look soft and noisy with low detail and blown out light sources and there’s no night mode support to help things out selfies from the 20 megapixel front facing cam
Specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 10t Pro
look sharp with plenty of detail even in challenging lighting conditions we like the natural skin tones too the xiaomi mi 10 t can shoot videos in up to 8k at 30fps 8k video is impressive with punchy colors low noise great contrast and wide dynamic range the trick is finding a way to play it back in this resolution 4k video from the main cam is similar in quality with some small differences colors are even punchier and contrast is higher and sharpness and detail are slightly less impressive here of course you can zoom in 4k
and the result is decent but what really impressed us is two times zoomed video and 8k resolution the amount of detail is amazing it’s day and night compared to the 4k video the ultra wide camera can capture 4k video too though it’s less impressive colors are still punchy and there’s plenty of contrast but these are generally more soft and dynamic range is narrower there’s electronic stabilization available for video taken in 4k or 1080p resolution
it does a decent job of smoothing things out at the price of a slightly more narrow field of view you can also use the steady video mode which captures in 1080p and offers a smooth gimbal-like effect so that’s the xiaomi mi 10t pro for around (Rs.53,518) you get a premium glass design a great lcd screen with a super fast refresh rate a flagship chipset stereo speakers excellent battery life with fast charging and an awesome main camera it has all the makings of a great phone or even a flagship killer now some people would prefer an OLED display
and you miss out on having a telephoto camera and you don’t have the headphone jack under display fingerprint reader or notchless screen of last year’s model but in pretty much every other way the mi 10t pro is a clear upgrade by offering top shelf hardware for a mid-range price this may be one of the best deals this year and deserves a full recommendation.
