Mi 10i Review

The Mi 10i is a very strong contender to set the bar for the mid-range segment in 2021. It brings a number of "expensive" features to a phone that's priced lower than most of its competitors. Users get a 108MP primary camera which has good performance and a 120Hz IPS-LCD display with very impressive colours. The phone itself is a stunning device thanks to its elegant design. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor works really well and the IP53 rating lends to the notion of durability when it comes to the Mi 10i. You also get a headphone jack on the phone, which is really nice. What doesn't work for the Mi 10i, however, is the display, which has a fairly low peak brightness, and suffers from reflection issues when using outdoors or in places with strong ambient lighting. CONCLUSION The Mi 10i is a surprisingly good balance between performance and imaging. While the 750G does not match up to the performance of the Snapdragon 765G found on the OnePlus Nord, it does come fairly close. In terms of imaging, the Mi 10i overall does come out ahead of the Nord, thanks to its better detail retention. The display could have been better and while on paper it seems to check off the right boxes, the relatively low peak-brightness paired with the high reflectance does make it a difficult one to use outdoors. If you already love MIUI, then the MI 10i will be no stranger to you. If you like a clean, no-fuss flavour of android, then the Nord is a far better bet, as is the case if you’re looking for a gaming-centric smartphone. The Mi 10i does check off a whole lot of boxes and we do hope that Xiaomi will continue to improve the performance of the SoC and the camera via updates.   MI 10I KEY SPECS, PRICE AND LAUNCH DATE Price:₹21999 Release Date:05 Jan 2021 Variant:128GB6GBRAM , 128GB8GBRAM Key Specs Screen Size 6.67" (1080 X 2400) Camera 108 + 8 + 2 + 2 | 16 MP Memory 128 GB/6 GB Battery 4820 MAh Review by Swapnil Mathur Digit's resident camera nerd, (un)official product photographer and the Reviews Editor ------- Now you can read Digit Magazine online!
