Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G Review: More for less! By YugaTech

What's up guys, Justine here of fintech and time and time again, Xiaomi never ceases to stun us every time they release an affordable flagship smartphone. No wonder why they're a crowd favorite with the recent release of the meet and t lineup in the country. We've spent much time with its pro version. The mi 10 t pro 5g we've only scratched the surface in our hands-on video, but now, let's see what it's all about in our full review, as we previously mentioned in our hands-on, the mi 20 pro 5g is one premium smartphone, both externally and internally. It's built with a glass back topped with a ceramic-like sheen, clad in an aluminum frame. Apparently, this phone is prone to fingerprints and smudges, so it's cool that Xiaomi provided a case with the retail unit.

We'd like to note something we missed mentioning in our hands-on that the screen protector and the case included in the box are anti-bacterial. The company claims that the case eliminates more than 99 of bacteria after 24 hours of contact good job Xiaomi. This phone is also quite slippery in the hands, but we like that. It comes with quite a heft at 218 grams, giving you that impression of a flagship feel its back and front are protected with corning gorilla, glass 5. So rest assured that this phone is tough as heck found here at the back.

Are its protruding triple rear cameras with that mini 108, megapixel camera label located underneath the primary lens and the Xiaomi branding and 5g logo located in the top left corner of the screen, we'll find the dot notch that houses, the front camera, the call speaker and a tiny led notification indicator, the top part houses, the IR blaster and a pair of noise-cancelling microphones. We have the volume keys on the left side, together with the power button that also functions as the fingerprint scanner. We also get some antenna bands here. Well, nothing can be found on the right side, but underneath we'll find the primary microphone, the speaker grille the USB type c port and a sim card slot that can accommodate two NATO sim cards. Yes, no micro, SD card slot here, as well as a 3.5 millimeter, audio port, but it's fine. The mi 20 pro 5g sports, a huge 6.67 inch, full HD, plus dot display with support for hdr10 and 144hz refresh rate with adaptive sync, although utilizing an AMOLED or older panel, would be a cherry on top. The IPS panel didn't disappoint if you're, not too nitpick the screen still looks great.

The colors look, vibrant and punchy, and details are also very sharp. The 144hz refresh rate is buttery, smooth and responsive. It's a feast for the eyes. If you want to consume less battery, we suggest that you lower the refresh rate to 90 hertz, which is also equally butter. You may again go back to 60 hertz, but really would you there's also an option to adjust the color scheme and color temperature, and, if you don't like seeing that dot notch, you also have the option to hide it now.

Checking out the audio. The sound quality is good, but it's not impressive. Indeed, it does get loud and clear and comes with an ample amount of bass, but the voice tends to overpower the instrumentals most of the time. It also sounds a teeny bit muffled when you set the volume at max. You can pick a sound effect preset in the settings you can choose from smart, music, video and voice.

We usually just use the smart preset as it adapts to whatever we're watching or listening to, there's also a feature that enables you to play music with visual effects. Even when you turn off the screen, and we think it's pretty cool another feature we like and found useful is being able to access the equalizer and customize volume based on your auditory perception when listening with your earphones or headphones on so much sound tweaks can be done here running this device is mini 12.0.3 based on android 10. , apart from the oxygen OS from OnePlus. Mini is also one of our favorite skins, as it almost looks close to stock android. We like that it didn't come with much bloatware.

We only get a couple of Xiaomi proprietary apps as well as some google apps when using dark mode. Furthermore, we noticed that it doesn't look seamless with apps like discord where you can still see the white background of the image. Furthermore, we also detected this while using the messenger app. Furthermore, we think that it's just a minor bug, but we believe it's worth mentioning. The device also has good haptic feedback and there's an option to adjust its level depending on your liking.

For other features, it comes with a video toolbox floating window, to conveniently view your notifications second space and light mode for less visual clutter when it comes to internals the mi 10 t pro uses the latest Qualcomm snapdragon 865 chips, coupled with an arena 650, GPU, 8, gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of internal storage. What can I say? The performance is outstanding. Launching and loading apps are lightning fast and are further accentuated with the 144hz refresh rate. We played PUBG mobile and gang shin impact at 144 hertz with the highest possible settings, and we experienced no hiccups or frame drops at all the phone noticeably gets hot, particularly near the camera section after a long period of time, but not to the extent that it will burn your hands or would cause an alarm. We also noticed that it even cools down quite quickly, which is good if you're curious here are the benchmark scores.

Furthermore, we got there's also the game turbo to improve your gaming experience. You can access this by swiping the upper corner of the screen, and it will show you various options, such as frames per seconds count. CPU and GPU consumption screen record floating windows for when you want to chat while playing screencast and many more for biometrics and security. The fingerprint scanner and face recognition works instantaneously. However, the face recognition doesn't work in a pitch black environment.

Unless you set your phone's brightness to maximum but hey on the bright side, it can unlock your phone even if you're wearing a mask the mi 20 pro comes with the usual connectivity features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5.1, dual NATO sim, NFC and IR blaster. As its name suggests, it is 5g ready, but connectivity will vary based on the availability of 5g in your area. Keeping this phone running is a massive 5 000 William hour battery. Most of the time we use the 90 hertz only bumping up to 144hz when playing games and the device can last us a whole day only charging it at night. It supports 33 watts, wired fast charging and charging takes around an hour to 20 minutes from zero percent to a hundred in case you're wondering guys it has no support for wireless charging.

We ran it through PC, Mark's battery test and the device got 19 hours and 31 minutes. Meanwhile, in our standard video loop test, it yielded 22 hours and 15 minutes which doesn't seem bad at all. When it comes to cameras. The mi 10t pro comes with a triple rear setup, consisting of a 108 megapixel main a 13 megapixel ultra-wide and a 5 megapixel macro lens. It also comes with 30 times: digital zoom, while for selfies we get a 20, megapixel front camera for camera features alone, you'd get tons of it.

There's pro HDR portrait, Google Lens and movie frame, to name a few. You can even customize the cameras, interface, colors and layout and save images in each as or high efficiency image file. Format, which is nifty images produced on the rear cameras, are excellent, but it's not perfect. You get a wide dynamic range with a significant number of details. We like that the color production didn't come out too saturated, even though we used its AI feature, as it gives us more control over post-processing other than that.

The shots look crisp and clear though, as you can see, some of them tend to lose shadow, especially when shooting in a backlit environment. The same can be said for the ultra-wide angle. Lens marker shots also look clear, though there's a little distortion going on the 30 times. Digital zoom is a fun feature to have, but shots are more often than not plainly unusable. They look washed out and soft, and you'd barely see any details.

We think that Huawei still hosts the crown for having the best camera smartphone zoom, the 108 megapixel lens, on the other hand, produce crisp photos. However, if you're going to ask us if it's a gimmick, we think it is unless you're very detailed oriented. Indeed, it does preserve a lot of details, especially when you zoom in that's, where you see its magic, but that's pretty much it. Nonetheless, it's all a great feature to have and would probably be useful if you're going to print your photos in a huge tarpaulin or whatnot. Quite honestly, no matter how much you increase the camera resolution, it doesn't guarantee that it would look as crisp and clear once it's uploaded to your social media so yeah and for the low light shots.

They're subpar, as you can see, from these two photos without end with the night mode on the lights, are evidently blown out and noisy. We also get the same results in these shots. Perhaps the night mode could be improved in future updates, we'll see, selfies. On the other hand, look great. The natural skin tone is retained, and we like that it doesn't go overboard with the beauty mode on the portrait mode also has an excellent background to subject separation, and you could even play with the aperture and blur style afterward now for videos.

It can shoot up to 8k at 24 frames per seconds and 4k at 60 frames per seconds. As for the front camera, you can shoot up to 1080p at 30 frames per seconds. I must say the 8k video quality is impressive and comes with a tremendous dynamic range. Most users would appreciate it once they view it on a 4k or 1080p display. However, you cannot use the ultra-wide lens and the ultra steady mode while shooting in 8k the 4k.

Video quality is excellent as well, and you can use the ultra-wide lens on this one. The ultra steady mode, unfortunately only works at 1080p. Moreover, it comes with tons of vlog-centric features. It comes with a vlog feature that helps you create those cool intros with sleek transitions. It also comes with a quirky front and back feature which is quite similar to Nokia's bod hi feature that uses a split screen format to capture photos or videos through the phone's front and rear camera simultaneously.

But with this one you can change the position while recording you may also add a movie frame to make your clips look cinematic. We're sure that many content creators would love the video offerings of this phone. For our final thoughts, we think Xiaomi has been breaking the norm by continuously and consistently manufacturing smartphones with flagship specs that you can get for less with this me 20 pro 5g you're genuinely getting more for its price of 24 990 pesos. It's definitely a steal you're already getting a 144hz refresh rate display a powerful processor, impressive photo and video quality with tons of features and great battery life, plus it's 5g ready. So if you want to own your first affordable, flagship, 5g device, then the mi 20 pro 5g is the best one you can get today and that's a wrap for this review.
