Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G Review | As good as the Poco X3? By Tech Spurt

So there I was pretty much ready to call my pick of the best budget smartphone of 2020 to the Poco x3 NFC, but then just at the death of the uh along comes this colorful wee blighter, the Xiaomi mi 10t light, and it may be like a him, but it's definitely not light in nature, as you still get surprisingly premium features here, like a 120 hertz display same as that Poco x3, along with the snapdragon 750 g chipset, 5g support and a 64 megapixel primary camera, and it's definitely not light in terms of weight either. This is a proper hefty bugger and yes, admittedly, that is coming from the weakest dolphin. Piss skinny ass, with less meat on his arms than the average chicken nugget, but seriously. This smartphone is heavier than pretty much every other device out there from 2020, even mega beasts like Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 ultra. So the question is: should brawl, who don't even lift consider snaffling this handset? Well, I've been using the Xiaomi mi 10t light as my full-time smartphone for about a week now and here's my in-depth review and for more on the latest. Greatest tech, please do poke, subscribe and ding that notifications bell cheers now.

First, let's just take a moment and drink in this absolute masterpiece of an ass. The meat NT light has got Sirius back in this rose gold bleach model. I mean seriously, it's like a big warm hug for the soul on those miserable days when I just feel like curling up in a ball in the shower and crying into my bottle of gray goose and sure that tropical soft drink style design won't be for everyone, in which case there are a couple more sober, colors, also on offer, but no matter which color option you go for. You get that same gorgeous, frosted glass, finish, which basically feels like you're rubbing your fingertips, all over a giant pearl and yeah. That's not exactly fantastic as far as grip is concerned, but the Xiaomi mi 10 tea light certainly feels great in the hand you've got a gorilla glass, 5 coating around back as well as covering that display, so no worries if you're a bit of a butterfingers, either after week, one the mi, 10 tea light, still looks box fresh.

Well, that frosted finish rarely shows any finger, grease or smudges, so basically beyond the fact that this absolute unit is so big and heavy and kind of cumbersome to use one-handed. My only real complaint as far as the design is concerned is that jutting camera lens, which means, if you do, lie the Xiaomi mi 10 tea, light flat on its back. It does wobble about the place when you're actually trying to use it. As always, though, it's very welcome to see an edge mounted fingerprint sensor, and I thought that this works perfectly here on the mi 10t light with just as dependable, face recognition in backup when required on the software tip. Well, as usual, it's Xiaomi's mini 12 launchers smothered there on top of android 10, unfortunately, not the fresh new android 11.

Here's hoping for an update soon. The mini 12, thankfully brought in a full-time apps' tray from what android s feel, while also adding that funky iOS style control center, that you can access with a single swipe, definitely a big fan, and it brings a lot of other changes to Google's OS as well. But if you want a closer look at all of that, shenanigans then definitely go check out my full mini 12 video, which is live right now, and I know that a lot of people are concerned about pop-up ads on me UI, but once again as usual here on Xiaomi's meat and tea light, they are very few and far between. I only saw a couple of ads, basically occasionally when I installed an app or when I was using Xiaomi's own apps, and that is it, and if that bothers you, you can turn off personalized ads, and you can disable the majority of them anyway. But, as I say in a week of use, I literally saw about three, maybe four ads.

However, what I did see in my time with the v10t light, was a couple of weird little bugs so, for instance, when I first started using the phone, the messenger app wouldn't actually update in the background, I'd have to open up the app and then new messages would trickle through. Thankfully, though, once I fiddled about in the app settings and cleared the cache, it started working, absolutely fine. The other bug I can remember was an inexplicable ability to get rid of pinned live sports scores. The little buggers were just impossible to swipe away. In fact, it almost became a kind of game to see if I could like swipe it fast enough to get rid of it or try swiping it from different angles.

None of it of course, works. Thankfully, you can still dismiss them just by tapping on them and then going into the menu right there and those couple of funny. Little quirks aside, the 10 tea light was generally well-behaved. Google Pay worked a charm here in the UK, while I had no issues with connectivity over the Wi-Fi either and yes, you do have full 5g support thanks to the x-52 modem, although, sadly, I got next to no chance to test this out thanks to lockdown shenanigans, thankfully that has come to an end for a short, while at least, so I'm hoping to get out and about with meat, NT light and test that out and follow so stay tuned for an update and no worries. If you like, download and shed loads of apps onto your smartphone, because you've got a choice of 64 or 128 gigs of internal storage, and you can boost that with a micros memory card by sticking it into that second sim slot and of course, another benefit of having such a massive bloody phone is that you get a massive bloody screen to watch stuff on a 6.67 inch. IPS beast to be absolutely precise.

Despite its gargantuan size, visuals are kept sharp by the fulled plus resolution. Color temperature and saturation levels can be automatically adjusted by the me10t light, based on the ambient conditions for an easy on the eye experience. I personally prefer when the selfie cam is nudged away in the corner of a screen rather than bang center, but in practice I found that that lens orifice was tiny enough to just barely intrude at all. Plus that screen is properly pop. Your eyeballs bright, when you boost it up to those top levels, you'll definitely have no troubles whatsoever, seeing what you're trying to do even on a bright sun shiny day, which might happen again in about seven months time here and that 120 hertz refresh rate, which is now surprisingly common for more budget friendly phones, is more candy for the soul.

So, basically the front end of the 10 tea light, definitely pleases just as much as that back end. A jimmies phone also boasts a stereo speaker setup, although, yes, that earpiece is typically tinny, but on top volume, you're definitely good to go even in quite a noisy household. I had absolutely zero issues streaming: music, podcasts whatever to a speaker or a pair of headphones as long as you don't stray too far away, because the range ain't exactly great, but as long as you don't move further, then a room away from whatever speaker, you're streaming to you're. Generally, fine and yes, like most of the budget smartphones these days, you do still, thankfully get that headphone jack praise be now performance here comes courtesy of Qualcomm's snapdragon, 750 g chipset, backed by a healthy six gigs of ram, and while the mi 10 tea light does handle everyday existence rather well. I did see the occasional little jitter here and there probably a result of that rather heavy launcher, so, for instance, swapping between apps.

Sometimes there might be a bit of a pause or if you've been snapping away with the camera, you tap that little preview pin just to check out your photos. You might be waiting two or three seconds for it to load up, but certainly nothing horrendous, and thankfully I didn't see any of my apps crashing or anything like that and gamers rest easy, because you will get a reliable experience from the 10t lite helped along by that capable arena, 619 GPU Call of Duty can be maxed out at the high detail levels with a high frame rate, and I found that that was nice and strong and stable. I got a nice fluid experience, something that certainly helped along the like 240 hertz touch sampling rate when you're using touchscreen controls, and you've also got all this great game. Turbo features as well that are built into me UI, including notifications, blocking and background app management. Now many budget smartphones these days have a mighty 5, 000 William battery packed inside and some even go beyond that that likes the motor g9 power and the Poco m3, for instance, have a 6, 000, William cell, stuffed inside here on the mi 10 t light.

It actually swings slightly the other way, with a 4 820 William cell, despite the fact that it's roughly the size of Ben Nevis, but the good news is, I still found that, with roughly five hours a day screen on time and not crazy use, so we're talking a bit of light media streaming plenty of messaging things like that. You'll still get around two days of use out of this thing, and even if you're really bloody off the thing playing a good bit of Call of Duty, doing a good bit of video recording with the camera. All that kind of stuff, you should still get a full day of use out of it without too much of a struggle, and if you do need a top-up, the 33 watt fast charging will get you on the move again in a jiffy. Now for the camera tech, I found that the mi 10t light wasn't quite as strong as the Poco x3 in this area, but that 64 megapixel primary shooter using Sony's IMAX 682 sensors, is still capable as long as conditions onto taxing at that default.16 meg resolution detail levels are often strong enough to make a photo look good when you chuck it up on a telescreen. As long as you weren't battling strong light, in which case the results can be quite murky, and the shutter isn't quite fast enough to deal with quick moving subjects, either with blur quite a common occurrence.

But if your subject can keep still for two bloody seconds, the portrait mode often serves up good, looking picks indoor shots and low light. Snaps. Often, look quite soft and grainy a typical curse at this price point, but at least the colors don't look unnatural. In fact. Overall color reproduction is pleasingly natural and when things get proper dark, the night mode does a little to help balance things out and sharpen up the image.

But I really do mean a little. The mute, NT light also packs in an 8 megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, which delivers pretty standard results. It works well in good daylight and not so much at other times, and yes, the obligatory 2 megapixel macro lens brings the total number up to 4. If you also include that 2 megapixel depth sensor and as usual, the macro lens is a complete waste of glass switch to video mode, and it's basically the same story. If the lightning is on your side, you'll get fine, looking footage with reasonably clear audio pickup too, but you'll definitely want to keep it still as possible as well, because there's basically no image stabilization to speak of and in low light.

Well, just forget it. The mi 10 tea light 16, megapixel, selfie, shooter, again struggles with harsh or low light, but produces good-looking if slightly smooth results. Otherwise, again, though, indoor snaps do look very soft indeed, so you'll need to make sure that you're well lit so that right there is my full and frank review of Xiaomi's me 20, like budget smartphone after using it as my full-time blower for a week, and I have to say, camera tech aside, I really enjoyed it, there's no denying that it's an absolute bog, and if you want to jump on that 5g bandwagon for not too much cash, then definitely it is one of the better choices out. There boasts many of the same benefits that the Poco x3 offered up like a gorgeous 120, hertz display and strong gaming performance as well. But I have to say, though, that x3 camera tech did seem to handle a range of conditions better than the 10 t light did.

So. If camera is one of your top priorities, I'd say probably go x3 instead, but anyway, that's what I think it would be great to hear your own thoughts. Have you been using the mi 10t light as your personal smartphone as well? Please do poke subscribe ding that notifications bell stay tuned for best budget smartphones of 2020 roundup as well. I'm hoping to do my best sub 200 pounds one very shortly indeed- and please do have yourselves a lovely rest of the week, cheers everyone loves. You.
