How much power does Xiaomi Mi 10 5G have? At first glance…

After dominating the budget smartphone market over the past few years, Xiaomi has finally launched the Mi 10 5G in India, its high-end priced offering. Since the beginning, Xiaomi is known for providing premium features on its smartphones at a low price and many times the company launches such smartphones in front of which even the smartphones launched by giants like Samsung look pale. Now with Mi 10 5G also, the company seems to be moving ahead with the same plan. The biggest feature of the Mi 10 5G is its 108-megapixel camera, which is on par with the cameras on expensive smartphones like Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra, but at a much lower price.

mi 10 5g The price of its 128 GB storage variant is Rs 49,999 and its 256 GB variant is priced at Rs 54,999. Obviously, this is the flagship smartphone of the company, hence the features in it also come premium. this phone OnePlus 8 And OnePlus 8 Pro, Realme X50 Pro 5G, iPhone SE (2020), iPhone XR And Samsung Galaxy S20 And Galaxy S10 Competes with.

The planned launch of this phone was delayed due to the lockdown, which prevents us from getting our hands on the device, but Xiaomi has given Gadgets 360 all the details of the Mi 10 5G and also answered all our questions about the smartphone. So we can tell you about our initial analysis.

Starting with the design of Xiaomi Mi 10 5G, the first thing we will talk about. The company has made a lot of improvements in terms of styling and build quality in the smartphone. Being a flagship, the company has tried to make the smartphone as attractive as possible. In Mi 10 5G we get a 3D curved glass display. It will be available in two colors in India, Signature Coral Green and Twilight Grey.

Talking about the cameras, the most important thing and the USP of the smartphone is the quad rear camera setup included with it is the 108-megapixel primary camera with OIS and a large sensor, which helps users capture great details even on photos taken at long distances. Does. The smartphone is also capable of 8K video recording, although how effective this is in the real world remains to be seen.

Xiaomi has Multiple camera features Among the features introduced, which take advantage of the larger primary sensor and processing power of the chipset, the most interesting are the inclusion of Phased Depth in Portrait mode, Focus Peaking in Pro mode, Portrait Video, Color Extraction, AI exposure and contrast correction, Night mode and a brand new vlog mode.

These are all interesting features and show that Xiaomi is thinking about its users and not just about the specifications. However, we are a bit confused about the other cameras included on the back. Other cameras in the rear camera setup include a 13-megapixel wide-angle, 2-megapixel macro, and 2-megapixel depth sensor, which feels like a typical mid-range smartphone camera these days. You will find cameras of this resolution even on sub-15,000 cm smartphones and even redmi note 9 pro (Review) has a better macro camera. The company told Gadgets 360 that these compromises were necessary to keep costs under control.

The screen in Mi 10 5G comes with a 6.67-inch size and has a full-HD+ 1080×2340 resolution panel, which cannot be called flagship-level. Xiaomi has included 90Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and HDR10+ support in this display. The company has also taken care of color accuracy for photographers and designers on the smartphone. The company says that people who buy online should know what the product will actually look like.

The Xiaomi flagship is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, which we have seen in many premium phones before and we know is a very powerful processor. To maintain the temperature, many temperature sensors and cooling systems are also provided in the phone. You get 5G support, although this feature is not useful in India at the moment, because 5G connectivity is not available in India at the moment. Xiaomi also insisted on including 5G at the end of the name of this model in India.

The Mi 10 5G uses 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and includes 128 GB and 256 GB storage options with the UFS 3.0 standard. The company has not introduced the 12 GB RAM variant in India, although this option is available in other markets. Other features include Wi-Fi 6, 4780 mAh capacity battery, 30W wired as well as 30W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Interestingly, there is no 3.5mm headphone socket and no notification LED.

What impressed us was that Xiaomi has made some changes to its MIUI software specifically for the Mi 10 5G and the company is calling it “Tier 1 Android”. The company has removed many of its original apps from it, such as phone dialer and message apps. Instead, Google’s stock apps have been used in it. Apart from this, the company has also promised that all advertisements, promotional notifications, bloatware and other methods of revenue generation have also been removed in this software. This phone will be one of the first Xiaomi smartphones to receive MIUI 12.

We are eager to test the performance of this phone and Xiaomi’s claims, especially its cooling system and display quality. Sure, the specifications are impressive on the page, but in the end, it’s the user experience that matters most. Xiaomi also notes some other aspects of this phone, like balanced stereo speakers, 180Hz touch sampling rate, good vibration alert, smaller than usual camera cutout. We will have a full review of Mi 10 5G, which will cover all these aspects. However, for that we will have to wait for the lockdown to be lifted.

Overall, the Mi 10 5G shows that Xiaomi can do much more than just budget phones. Its price can be considered a good value considering its features and specifications, considering that it takes an edge over the recently launched OnePlus 8 in some respects. But yes, it’s not exactly a flagship device – it lacks an IP rating, the rear cameras aren’t well coordinated and the screen may not be as good as some of the competition offers.
