Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro Unboxing and Hands On By Joshua Vergara

You know what, with a camera bump like this, I wouldn't be surprised if t stands for like tall camera hump or something like that. In any case, let's take a look at Xiaomi's latest smartphone, this time, taking on their version of what a t variant looks like hey: it's Joshua verger, what's going on everybody, here's the unboxing and my first impressions on the Xiaomi mi 10t pro. As I just stated, we are going to start off with the unboxing of this device, and it's a pretty classic Xiaomi experience, which is to say there are a couple of extras in the box in the little flap that is sitting right above the smartphone. There are a couple of nice goodies. The first thing that I noticed is this little dongle, the adapter for a 3.5, millimeter headphone jack, interesting. That Xiaomi wants to make it clear right off the bat.

There is no headphone jack on this device. Instead, here's your dongle, but that dongle was sitting within a nice soft, clear case well, semi-clear, because the bottom half of the case has the Xiaomi branding on it, which I actually really enjoy. We'll take another look at that a little later, but once we get that portion of the box out of the way we have a few of the key specifications for the 10t pro here now. This is a 5g model, as is probably expected from any of the flagships these days, but one of the big things that you'll probably notice is that this has a hertz display. It's a full HD plus panel, it's what they call their true color dot display.

Aside from that, you have the snapdragon 865, so you have high performance on here, a 108 megapixel camera, which is going to explain this huge camera home that I already teased and then also you have a 5 000 William hour battery and then underneath the phone are the usual things: the USB cable and a fast charger. After all, this large battery can be charged up with 33 watt wired fast charging, as I peel off the plastic that is around the device I'll give you a quick look at it before I give you some perspective on the design a bit later, and then the other thing I want to do here is show off the phone. Inside that case, I actually really like that. The Xiaomi logo is here and this sort of frosted section of the soft case, even though the Xiaomi logo still has a little of the branding still popping through it. As it turns out the battery arrived to DOA, so I had to charge the phone up for a little while and then power it up.

So I can go through the setup. While I do all of that, though, why don't we get a word from today's sponsor now today we are connected more than ever, but even if we're working from home, internet security is still of the utmost importance. That's where the sponsor of today's video comes in surfsharkvpn. A VPN helps encrypt your personal information through a secure tunnel that keeps your data from prying eyes and digital malice. It's definitely something you want to have on the road open up, surf shark on virtually any device hit, connect and browse like you're back at home when abroad surf shark can help you get access to your personal information that is otherwise blocked by international web restrictions.

But then, when you're at home, the extra levels of security provide more peace of mind. Surf track provides other features like multihop, which uses two different VPN servers, so that your digital footprint is even more secure and there's also hack lock, which alerts you if your email address or password have been compromised, and all of this is available across pretty much any device, be it apple, android, Amazon, fire, TV or PC, and you can even use them all at once too. As surf shark is the only VPN that does not limit how many devices are running its security at the same time, get surfsharkvpn for yourself at surf shark.

I had to spend some time doing some other stuff, as I was getting this phone set up with me, UI 12, which is what is powering this device.

If you're looking forward to some camera samples and some video samples from this massive camera array up here, well, you're going to have to wait for my real world camera test. I will go through some modes a little later, but to be fair, a number of the modes that you might see in this camera app. You probably have seen in other Xiaomi phones anyway, but to start this off. Let's talk a little about the design. There are a couple of things I want to draw parallels to here, and the first thing I will say is not a direct comparison to that smartphone, I just feel like Xiaomi is sort of having their galaxy s20 ultra moment.

The reason why I say that is because this phone is a little beefier than what I'm used to from Xiaomi devices. Yes, they're, going all in on the camera, with things like a 108 megapixel camera sensor on here, but the entire phone just has this sort of beefiness to it to accommodate these high specifications and of course there are going to be other colors of this phone, but I got what is called the cosmic black with gorilla glass 5 on the front and back to surround the aluminum alloy frame. I suppose, thankfully there is a curve on the back, but no curve on the front leading to a flat display so that you can get that 144hz without having to worry about any curves messing up your touches. But let's talk about that display. The first thing I did was move over to a full screen display experience, meaning that I went to the gestures instead of having a navigation bar which was on at default, and then, of course, I made a b line for the display settings where I took a look at the refresh rates.

What I found interesting here is that, of course, you have the lower refresh rate at 60, but there's also a middle path here at 90 hertz. It is a fixed rate that allows for pretty much all the interface to move at that slightly higher refresh rate, but then the 144 hertz is something that's more adaptive, and that is what is implied in the description below it. Some apps will increase refresh rate automatically to improve picture quality. That's the reason why Xiaomi is calling this an adaptive sync display either way, I'm all for it to be honest, and even though Xiaomi has championed a full-on screen display experience in the past with other phones, the meat10t pro instead has a little more bezel around it with a small cutout at the top corner. It doesn't take away from the experience whatsoever.

You still have plenty of screen real estate here to enjoy things like games and media, and I'm looking forward to the experience with my testing speaking of this front facing camera. It is a 20 megapixel shooter that in this case, is shooting at 1080p resolution. It would be nice to see 4k on the front more often, but it's not something that we see as commonly as I would want. Obviously, a lot of the more premium features are going to be in that back camera. Now, here's the first thing I wanted to point out about this camera hump.

Yes, the top portion is this very large 108 megapixel sensor. This is not the first time that we've seen something like this. There are other phones that definitely prioritize the size of the main sensor, but one thing that does feel a little like a first is that one of the let's say holes here to give it a simple term literally does not have a module inside you get two lenses aside from the main one. You have a 13 megapixel, ultra-wide camera and a 5 megapixel macro camera. Usually when you see a macro camera on another phone, you kind of scoff at it, because you know at 2 megapixels, it's not going to add too much to the experience, but at 5 megapixels we have seen one or two other shooters at 5.

Megapixels provide some nice macro shots, so I'm going to give it a nice little chance, as I walk around with this phone during my rear wheel, camera test look forward to that by subscribing to my channel according to the spec sheets. It's this fourth area here that would get that fourth lens on the mi 10t light on that one. Instead, you get a 64 megapixel main camera. Eight megapixels ultra-wide, a two megapixel macro and a two megapixel depth sensor. So this time around, they didn't need the depth sensor for whatever reason, so they just filled that portion in.

In any case, there are a lot of little modes here that I'm looking forward to trying out now when you look at the photo modes, there are some interesting additions like a clone mode. Where potentially you'll be able to put four of yourself into one particular shot, there are also many long exposure modes. That Xiaomi is introducing here, like the moving crowd shot where you just have one idle subject, while the rest of the surroundings continue to be dynamic, but then talking about video, the megapixel sensor does allow for a 8k video capture uh, which is very prominent once you head over to the video mode. That button is clear as day, and then you have a couple of other modes that you might have noticed from other Xiaomi umbrella smartphones, like the clone mode, which allows you to put two of yourself inside of one video in this mode, the front and back which allows you to record using the front and back cameras at the same exact time kind of like hosting your own little vlog, showing what's going on right in front of you, shiny, glossy fingerprint prone backing aside, it looks like the 10t pro is just going to add to Xiaomi's already extensive catalog of high-end high, tiered smartphones with specifications like the snapdragon 865 with this screen that has 144 hertz refresh rate, something that you can enjoy in many games and then honestly, many parts of the android interface here and, of course, the camera package, which includes the 108 megapixel sensor. Is this a beefy phone absolutely and in more ways than one? But that is exactly what we're going to experience over the next number of days.

As I do, my testing do a real world camera test and then finally, give you my thoughts in a complaints and takeaways video for now get into the comment sections down below. Let me know what you think about the 10t pro what things you might want to know from it, what things you want to see in action, and I will do my best to get into the camera modes and have some fun with some of those new modes that they're introducing in this phone at the very least drop some likes on this video and subscribe to my channel. If you haven't already I'll, give one last shout out to the sponsor of this video surfsharkvpn head into the description down below for links so that you can try it out for yourself and use the promo code, Joshua verger with all that said, I'm going to go ahead and call it on this one. Thank you so much for watching take care of yourselves and each other and enjoy your tea. Everybody.
